Flexible cable network structure cover panels - have continuous electric conductors as clamping members for lightning conduction

摘要

The covering for a load bearing structure in cable network form consists of spaced panels fixed at the movable nodal points by permanently elastic oscillating elements as in the main patent. Round them are resilient, durably elastic sealing strips with close-fitting met al clamping members. Here each bolt (28) is fixed to the clamp (26) for the adjacent covering panel (1) by an additional metal stirrup piece (27). On each panel the clamping members are continuous electric conductors. The bolt ends may be rounded off in relation to the panels. This provides reliable protection from lightning.
