BUILDING STRUCTURE WITH TRANSVERSELY TENSIONED FABRIC COVERING

摘要

BUILDING STRUCTURE WITH TRANSVERSELY TENSIONED FABRIC COVERING A plurality of arches are supported in longitudinally spaced, transversely extending, vertical positions. A plurality of fabric panels are each connected between a corresponding pair of adjacent arches. A pair of arcuately extending cables are connected to corresponding opposite end portions of each fabric panel so that the ends of the cables terminate adjacent the lower ends of the corresponding arches. A plurality of base mechanisms are each attached to and support a lower end of a corresponding arch. The opposite ends of each cable are threaded through and guided by adjacent base mechanisms so that they can be pulled together with a winch to transversely tension the corresponding fabric panel.
