BUILDING MODULE Russian patent published in 1996 - IPC

FIELD: construction, particular, so-called structural modules featuring flexibility and high degree of use of prefabricated members; applicable in the capacity of principal member in building bearing and guarding building structures of building and structures, mainly, light, dismountable-assembled, transformed from plate to space. SUBSTANCE: building module allows construction of the most diverse bulky forms of buildings and structures by all possible transformation and developments from the plane into space, both, in transverse and longitudinal direction and to provide for high degree of use of prefabricated members, reliability, bearing capacity due to employment of typical flexible structures. The building module includes rectangular sections from transverse girders which are crossing them in one plane at angle of 90 deg of longitudinal flexible cylindrical rods of various length and flexible shell. Transverse girders are made of rigid members of rectangular cross-sections with concave ends, clamps-snap hooks installed at member ends and external flexible belts connecting these members with formation between adjacent members of spaces with fixed interval h. Longitudinal flexible cylindrical rods consist of external flexible cylindrical shell. Corresponding to the diameter of hollows in transverse girders through which they are passed and the rigging members with length equalling interval a, pressed in flexible cylindrical shells or rigid tubular members fitted on flexible cylindrical shell with displacement of the total length of rigid members relative to the length equalling the length of shell to form bushing on one end of longitudinal flexible cylindrical rod, and on the opposite end, pin which serves for formation of locking devices which fasten longitudinal flexible cylindrical rods to one another due to subsequent introduction of pins into bushings. EFFECT: higher efficiency. 12 dwg
