<p>This invention refers to a variety of mechanical joints-nodes used to int erconnect between them straight parts tubes, rods, beams to construct trusse s. In all cases of truss constructions the main question is how to interconn ect the straight parts and the usual up to now practices have limited possib ilities for mass production of standardized joints-nodes or straight section s that can secure uniform-fixed mechanical strength at the point of intercon nection and flexibility in the architectural design. The present invention h as achieved the design of a series-variety of standard components for the as sembly of joints-nodes with variable-self adjusting angles with moving arms (3) (4) (5) (6) (7) and a series-variety of standard joints-nodes with fixed angles (8) (9) (10) (11) (12) (13) (14) (15) and with the form of DISC (49) or SPHERE, as well as of a two part mechanical connector consisting of a ma le (47) and a female (48) part, which can be interconnected with lateral mov ement and interlock with a small turn and can be fixed at the ends of straig ht parts (21) (25) and be embedded in the arms of the nodes (3) (4) (5) (6) (7), as well as the devising of a method of screwing and unscrewing straight parts (21) (25) by turning in one or the other direction with opposite thre adings at their two ends (22R) (23L) and respectively at the arms (3L) (3R) (4L) (4R) (5L) (5R) (6L) (6R) (7L) (7R) of the nodes. All the above can be p roduced with standardized industrial methods, providing uniform-fixed mechan ical strength at the points of inteconnection, flexibility in the architectu ral design and significant lowering of costs. This invention can be used in Construction-Architecture and Decorative designs, but also for bridges and d wellings for immediate covering of special needs in disaster areas, greenhou ses, scaffolding, sheds, towers, modular assemblies of educational games.etc .</p> |
