Title:
MULTIPLE VERTEX JOINT ADAPTER
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/053987
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Multiple vertex joint adapter solves the problem of various free forms of n≥3 -angular, designs' mesh structures in the way that takes account of fundamental characteristics of steel structures and the ease of executing an application. The housing of the multiple vertex joint adapter is composed of n≥3 -sheet metals and of one or more reinforcing ribs. Sheet metals 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 9.1, 9.2, 9.3, 9.4 and 9.5 for each n≥3 on the outside polygon of the multiple vertex joint adapter feature through- or screw-boreholes. Reinforcing ribs 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4, 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, 11.1, 11.2, 11.3 and 11.4 are made of sheet metal with or without through-boreholes that allow screwing the flange 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4 and 8.1, 8.2, 8.3, 8.4, and 12.1, 12.2, 12.3, 12.4, 12.5 onto the vertex element and positioning a given vertex element. Reinforcing ribs are chamfered on the edges for the reasons of welding technology. In the case when multiple vertex joint adapters are cast, their detailed shape is adjusted to the casting technology. Reinforcing ribs 2 improve the strength of the multiple vertex joint adapter. Support elements of the selected shapes are screwed onto individual sheet metal pieces of the multiple vertex joint adapter with a screw connection in the way that the screw connection channels the entire load on the support element to the vertex as a static or a dynamic connection point.
