THREE-DIMENSIONAL COVERING UNIT Russian patent published in 1999 - IPC

FIELD: construction engineering. SUBSTANCE: three-dimensional covering unit relates to unified components of combined suspended covering. Structure of three-dimensional covering unit is made up of longitudinal rafter members with vertical rods, lateral end-face members, and lateral intermediate members which are rigidly connected with vertical rods to create lateral frames, together with longitudinal beams and guarding members located over load-bearing members. Vertical rods of lateral frames are fastened by tighteners between longitudinal rafter members. Attached over external sides of covering unit to units of lateral frames are cantilever members of suspended trusses having units for connection with similar members of adjacent covering units after their prestressing. Tighteners can be installed between units of attaching cantilever suspended trusses. Application of aforesaid embodiment of three-dimensional covering unit allows for reducing amount of materials used in construction. EFFECT: higher efficiency. 1 cl, 2 dwg
