Abstract

The flexible building cover has its roof part defined by a metal or three dimensional composite frame constituted by a base structure. This structure comprises two parallel beams (5,6) from where diagonals (9,9A,9B,9C) extend. The two beams are defined by a grooved section receiving a beading fitting the two longitudinal edges (13,14) of one or more covers of double curvature (7). The section can be provided with means (15) for fixing the ends (16) of the diagonals or cross members (8).

Description

L'invention concerne une construction à couverture souple dont au moins la partie formant toiture est définie par une ossature métallique ou composite tridimensionnelle constituée d'une structure de base ou d'une juxtaposition de plusieurs de ces dernières dont chacune comporte au moins deux longerons parallèles reliés à l'aide de traverses et d'où s'étendent des diagonales définissant, selon le cas, deux ou davantage de fermes rendues solidaires par leur sommet ou encore un ou une succession de modules de forme pyramidale, dans l'espace interne délimité par une telle structure de base étant sous-tendue au moins une couverture souple, de tue à double courbure.The invention relates to a flexible cover construction, at least the part forming the roof is defined by a framework metallic or three-dimensional composite consisting of basic structure or a juxtaposition of several of these last of which each has at least two beams parallels connected by means of crosspieces and from which extend diagonals defining, as the case may be, two or more farms joined together by their top or one or a succession of pyramid-shaped modules in space internal bounded by such a basic structure being underpinned at least one soft cover, double kills curvature.

L' on connaít d' ores-et-déjà des constructions répondant à la description ci-dessus. En fait, ce tue de construction fait appel à une charpente métallique constituée par un assemblage de profilés venant à définir, tout au moins en ce qui concerne la partie formant toiture, une ossature tridimensionnelle à l'intérieur de laquelle sont sous-tendus un ou plusieurs éléments de couverture en matériau souple, habituellement du type à double courbure.We already know some constructions that meet the description above. In fact, this construction killer makes call for a metal frame consisting of an assembly of profiles coming to define, at least as regards the part forming the roof, a three-dimensional framework with the interior of which are one or more roofing elements made of flexible material, usually double curvature type.

En fait, il convient d'observer que, jusqu'à présent, une telle ossature métallique tridimensionnelle fait appel à des profilés métalliques de dimension élémentaire que l'on vient relier les uns par rapport aux autres à l'aide de noeuds de liaison de manière à définir des modules de base, souvent sous forme de pyramides. Ainsi, plusieurs de ces modules de base peuvent être associés les uns aux autres, là encore à l'aide des noeuds précités pour aboutir, finalement, à la taille de la toiture adaptée à la construction. On notera, que très souvent, ces modules de base, souvent de forme pyramidale, sont en outre reliés les uns aux autres par leur sommet.In fact, it should be observed that, so far, such a three-dimensional metal frame uses profiles metallic elementary dimension that we just connect the relative to each other using link nodes of so as to define basic modules, often in the form of pyramids. So many of these basic modules can be associated with each other, again using the nodes above to finally reach the size of the roof suitable for construction. It will be noted that very often these basic modules, often pyramid-shaped, are also connected to each other by their top.

De manière plus détaillée, un module de base comporte deux longerons parallèles, par ailleurs reliés entre eux à l'aide de traverses. Par rapport à ces longerons s'étendent des diagonales qui viennent définir, soit une forme pyramidale, ces diagonales venant se rejoindre au niveau d'un même noeud, soit deux ou davantage de fermes reliées par leur sommet.In more detail, a basic module has two parallel beams, also connected to each other using sleepers. Relative to these beams extend diagonals that come to define, or a pyramidal shape, these diagonals coming to meet at the same node, or two or more farms connected by their top.

L'on comprend, évidemment, que plusieurs de ces modules peuvent être juxtaposés de manière à concevoir une rangée que l'on a défini comme étant une structure de base dans la suite de la description sachant, précisément, que plusieurs de ces structures de base peuvent là encore être associées les unes aux autres pour aboutir à la taille souhaitée de la construction.It is obvious, of course, that several of these modules can be juxtaposed so as to design a row that we have defined as a basic structure in the rest of the description knowing, precisely, that several of these again basic structures can be combined to others to achieve the desired size of the construction.

Le problème que pose, à l'heure actuelle, ce tue de construction comportant, en tant que toiture, une ossature métallique tridimensionnelle consiste en ce que leur temps de montage est particulièrement long, ceci d'autant plus que l'on fait appel, usuellement, à des techniques de laçage pour tendre, au niveau d'une telle ossature, les éléments de couverture en matériau souple à double courbure. En fait, la mise sous tension de ces éléments de couverture s'effectue, le plus fréquemment, à hauteur des noeuds de liaison.The current problem with this killer construction comprising, as a roof, a framework three-dimensional metallic is that their time of assembly is particularly long, especially since we usually uses lacing techniques to stretch, at the level of such a framework, the elements of cover in flexible material with double curvature. In fact, the these cover elements are energized, the more frequently, at the level of the linking nodes.

Au vu de ce constat, l'on comprend, évidemment, que ces constructions particulières ne sont nullement adaptées à une utilisation temporaire dans la mesure où, précisément, les opérations de montage et de démontage s'avèrent particulièrement onéreuse. Aussi, ces constructions à ossature tridimensionnelle, sous-tendues de toiles à double courbure, bien que présentant une esthétique particulièrement attrayante, ne voient leur utilité que dans la conception de bâtiments à usage permanent, tandis que pour accueillir une activité temporaire l'on n'a pas d'autre solution que de faire appel à des constructions plus classiques.In view of this observation, we understand, of course, that these particular constructions are in no way suitable for a temporary use insofar as, precisely, the assembly and disassembly operations are particularly expensive. Also, these frame constructions three-dimensional, subtended with double curvature fabrics, although having a particularly attractive aesthetic, see their utility only in the design of buildings with permanent use, while hosting an activity temporary we have no other solution than to call on more classic constructions.

Celles-ci font appel, selon le cas, à une ossature sensiblement plane qui, pour former la toiture reçoit une ou plusieurs couvertures à double courbure, notamment en forme de chapeau chinois, dont la mise sous tension s'effectue souvent depuis l'intérieur. A noter, à ce propos qu'il est également connu de tendre ces toiles à double courbure depuis l'extérieur du bâtiment à l'aide de haubans fixés à des mâts prévus à cet effet.These call, as the case may be, for a framework substantially flat which, to form the roof receives one or more double curvature blankets, especially hat-shaped Chinese, often powered up from the interior. Note, in this regard that it is also known to stretch these double curvature fabrics from outside the building using guy wires attached to masts provided for effect.

En fait, plus usuellement l'on fera appel à des constructions du tue chapiteau ou analogue dont la structure est constituée par une succession de portiques reliés de manière équidistante entre eux et constitués par un assemblage de profilés à gorge pour la réception entre deux portiques successifs, d'un élément de couverture en matériau souple dont les bords longitudinaux sont prééquipés d'un jonc. Celui-ci est, ainsi, à même de coulisser à l'intérieur des gorges des profilés précités.In fact, more usually we will use constructions of the marquee or the like whose structure is made up by a succession of gantries equidistantly connected between them and constituted by an assembly of grooved profiles for the reception between two successive gantries, of an element roofing in flexible material with longitudinal edges are pre-equipped with a rod. This is thus able to slide inside the grooves of the aforementioned profiles.

L'on s'aperçoit que les deux solutions exposées ci-dessus et utilisées pour la conception de bâtiments à usage temporaire posent le problème de leur modularité. Ainsi, si le type de construction présenté en dernier lieu est le plus répandu car conduisant à un temps de montage réduit, il est difficile d'en adapter la forme ou encore les dimensions, strictement à l'usage auquel il est destiné ou encore à l'emplacement qui lui est réservé. En effet, les entreprises qui proposent ce tue de construction à la location ne disposent que d'un nombre très limité de portiques aux dimensions différentes. De plus, si une telle entreprise de location veut être à même de satisfaire, une large demande de sa clientèle, il lui faut disposer, en stock, non seulement des éléments, à savoir structures et couvertures, correspondant aux constructions les plus usitées, mais également ceux destinés à la conception de construction aux dimensions plus particulières demandées qu'exceptionnellement par cette clientèle. Ceci pose, par conséquent, le problème de la rotation et, donc, de la rentabilité de ces éléments propres à des constructions de dimension spéciale.We can see that the two solutions exposed above and used for the design of temporary buildings raise the problem of their modularity. So if the type of construction presented last is the most widespread because leading to reduced assembly time, it is difficult to adapt the shape or the dimensions, strictly to the use for which it is intended or the location which is reserved. Indeed, companies that offer this killer of construction for hire only have a very number limited gantries with different dimensions. In addition, if a such a rental company wants to be able to satisfy, a large demand from its customers, it must have, in stock, not only elements, namely structures and covers, corresponding to the most commonly used constructions, but also those intended for construction design to the more specific dimensions requested only exceptionally by this clientele. This poses, by Therefore, the problem of rotation and, therefore, of the profitability of these elements specific to constructions of special dimension.

En définitive, l'objectif visé par la présente invention consiste à concevoir une construction comportant, notamment dans sa partie formant toiture, une ossature du type tridimensionnel dont, non seulement, l'assemblage est aisé car dépourvu des noeuds de liaison souvent très onéreux, mais qui, en outre, est à même de recevoir, avec une grande facilité et un temps de montage réduit, les éléments de couverture à double courbure destinés à être sous-tendus au niveau de cette ossature.Ultimately, the objective of the present invention consists in designing a construction comprising, in particular in its roof-forming part, a frame of the type three-dimensional whose assembly is not only easy because lacking often very expensive connecting nodes, but which, in addition, is able to receive, with great ease and reduced assembly time, double cover elements curvature intended to be underpinned at this framework.

Du même coup, la présente invention a pour but d'apporter une solution au problème de la modularité des constructions à usage temporaire.At the same time, the present invention aims to provide a solution to the problem of modularity of constructions for use temporary.

A cet effet, l'invention concerne une construction à couverture souple dont au moins la partie formant toiture est définie par une ossature métallique ou composite tridimensionnelle constituée d'une structure de base ou d'une juxtaposition de plusieurs de ces dernières dont chacune comporte au moins deux longerons parallèles reliés à l'aide de traverses et d'où s'étendent des diagonales définissant, selon le cas, au moins deux fermes rendues solidaires par leur sommet et formant un module ou encore un ou une succession de modules de forme pyramidale, dans l'espace interne délimité par chacune de ces structures de base étant sous-tendue au moins une couverture souple, du type à double courbure, caractérisée par le fait que :

  • les deux longerons parallèles d'une structure de base sont définis, chacun, par un profilé comportant au moins une gorge filante pour la réception d'un jonc équipant deux bords longitudinaux et/ou de la ou des couvertures souples à double courbure destinées à être sous-tendues au niveau de ladite structure de base ;
  • et qu'un tel profilé est pourvu de moyens pour la réception en vue de leur fixation des extrémités des diagonales et/ou des traverses.
To this end, the invention relates to a construction with flexible roofing, at least the part of which forms the roof, is defined by a three-dimensional metallic or composite frame constituted by a basic structure or by a juxtaposition of several of the latter, each of which comprises at least two parallel beams connected by means of crosspieces and from which extend diagonals defining, as the case may be, at least two trusses made integral by their top and forming a module or even one or a succession of modules of pyramidal shape , in the internal space delimited by each of these basic structures being subtended at least one flexible cover, of the double curvature type, characterized in that:
  • the two parallel longitudinal members of a basic structure are each defined by a profile comprising at least one shooting groove for the reception of a rod equipping two longitudinal edges and / or the flexible cover or covers with double curvature intended to be subtended at said base structure;
  • and that such a profile is provided with means for receiving them with a view to fixing the ends of the diagonals and / or crosspieces.

Selon une particularité de la présente invention, une structure de base comporte un troisième longeron parallèle au précédent venant relier les sommets, selon le cas, des fermes ou des modules de forme pyramidale définis par les diagonales.According to a feature of the present invention, a structure base has a third spar parallel to the previous one from the summits, as the case may be, farms or pyramid-shaped modules defined by the diagonals.

Avantageusement, les moyens destinés à la réception en vue de la fixation des extrémités des diagonales et/ou des traverses au niveau d'un profilé définissant un longeron se présentent sous forme d'oreilles rapportées sur ledit profilé ou encore sous forme d'une aile continue ou discontinue rapportée ou coextrudée.Advantageously, the means intended for reception with a view to fixing the ends of the diagonals and / or crosspieces at a profile defining a beam are presented in the form of ears attached to said profile or else in the form of a continuous or discontinuous wing added or coextruded.

Un tel profilé est par ailleurs conçu, préférentiellement, en alliage d'aluminium, sachant qu'il pourrait également être conçu en un matériau composite.Such a profile is moreover preferably designed in aluminum alloy, knowing that it could also be designed in a composite material.

Les avantages découlant de la présente invention consistent en ce qu'au travers des profilés destinés à concevoir les longerons correspondant à une structure de base, il est possible
de s'affranchir des noeuds de liaison auxquels on fait usuellement appel pour la conception d'ossatures métalliques tridimensionnelles. De plus, ces longerons, se présentant sous forme de profilés à gorge, sont aptes à accueillir, par coulissement, les joncs d'une couverture souple dont la mise en place est, de ce fait, considérablement facilitée.The advantages arising from the present invention consist in that, through profiles intended to design the side members corresponding to a basic structure, it is possible
to overcome the connection nodes which are usually used for the design of three-dimensional metal frames. In addition, these beams, being in the form of grooved profiles, are capable of receiving, by sliding, the rods of a flexible cover whose implementation is, therefore, considerably facilitated.

En fin de compte, l'on aboutit, au travers de la présente invention, à une construction qui, tout en étant équipée d'une telle ossature métallique ou composite tridimensionnelle, s'avère d'un temps de montage et de démontage particulièrement réduit, ce qui est un avantage considérable lorsqu'elle est destinée à un usage temporaire.In the end, we end up, through this invention, to a construction which, while being equipped with a such a metal or three-dimensional composite frame, turns out to be a time of assembly and disassembly particularly which is a considerable advantage when it is intended for temporary use.

Finalement, ce type de construction, conforme à l'invention, offre la possibilité aux entreprises de location d'optimiser leur stock de matériel. En effet, au travers d'une simple juxtaposition de plusieurs structures de base, on peut en définitive, atteindre toutes les dimensions de bâtiment souhaitées que ce soit en longueur ou en largeur.

    • Tel que représenté dans la figure 1, la présente invention concerne une construction 1 dont au moins la partie formant toiture 2 est définie par une ossature métallique ou composite de type tridimensionnel. En fait, celle-ci est constituée d'une structure de base 4 ou encore comme représenté dans cette figure 1, d'une juxtaposition de plusieurs de ces dernières. As shown in Figure 1, the present invention relates to a construction 1 of which at least the part forming roof 2 is defined by a metal or composite frame of three-dimensional type. In fact, it consists of a basic structure 4 or as shown in this Figure 1, a juxtaposition of several of these.

    Comme visible plus particulièrement dans les figures 2 à 4, une telle structure de base 4 comporte au moins deux longerons parallèles 5, 6 entre lesquels et, en définitive, sont destinées à s'étendre une ou plusieurs couvertures à double courbure 7, ces longerons 5, 6 étant, par ailleurs, reliés entre eux à l'aide de traverses 8. De plus, depuis ces longerons 5, 6 sont amenés à s'étendre des diagonales 9, 9A, 9B, 9C qui, dans une configuration représentée, figure 4, sont amenées à définir au moins deux fermes F1, F2 rendues solidaires par leur sommet S de manière à constituer un module M'. En fait, plus usuellement, de telles diagonales 9, 9A, 9B, 9C définissent, comme représenté dans les figures 1 à 3 des dessins ci-joints, un ou une succession de modules M, M1, M2, M3 de forme pyramidale.As can be seen more particularly in FIGS. 2 to 4, a such basic structure 4 comprises at least two beams parallels 5, 6 between which and, ultimately, are intended to extend one or more double blankets curvature 7, these longitudinal members 5, 6 being, moreover, connected between them using sleepers 8. In addition, since these longitudinal members 5, 6 are caused to extend from the diagonals 9, 9A, 9B, 9C which, in a configuration shown, FIG. 4, are brought to define at least two farms F1, F2 rendered united by their vertex S so as to constitute a module Me. In fact, more usually, such diagonals 9, 9A, 9B, 9C define, as shown in Figures 1 to 3, attached drawings, one or a succession of modules M, M1, M2, M3 pyramid-shaped.

    Selon une particularité de la présente invention, les deux longerons 5, 6, sont définis, chacun, par un profilé 10 dont les figures 5 et 6 représentent, en section, différents modes de réalisation. Ainsi, un tel profilé 10 comportent au moins une gorge filante 11A, 11B pour la réception d'un jonc 12 (représenté en traits discontinus) venant équiper les deux bords longitudinaux 13, 14 d'une couverture souple à double courbure 7 destinée à être sous-tendue sur cette structure de base 4.According to a feature of the present invention, the two longitudinal members 5, 6 are each defined by a profile 10 of which Figures 5 and 6 show, in section, different modes of achievement. Thus, such a profile 10 comprise at least a shooting groove 11A, 11B for receiving a rod 12 (shown in broken lines) from the two longitudinal edges 13, 14 of a flexible double cover curvature 7 intended to be subtended on this structure of base 4.

    De plus, un tel profilé 10 concevant un longeron 5, 6 est pourvu, avantageusement, de moyens 15 pour la réception, en vue de leur fixation, des extrémités 16, 16A des diagonales 9, 9A, 9B, 9C et/ou des traverses 8.In addition, such a profile 10 designing a beam 5, 6 is advantageously provided with means 15 for receiving, with a view to their attachment, the ends 16, 16A of the diagonals 9, 9A, 9B, 9C and / or crosspieces 8.

    Il convient d'observer que selon un mode de réalisation préférentiel, deux structures de base 4 juxtaposées viennent partager un même longeron pour la fixation de l'un des bords longitudinaux 13, 14 de leur couverture à double courbure 7 respective. Dans ces conditions il est opportun qu'un tel longeron soit en outre conçu pour être à même de recevoir les diagonales correspondant à chacune de ces structures de base 4, juxtaposées ainsi que, le cas échéant, les traverses 8 reliant les longerons 5, 6 de chacune de ces dernières.It should be observed that according to one embodiment preferential, two juxtaposed basic structures 4 come share the same spar for fixing one of the edges longitudinal 13, 14 of their double curvature cover 7 respective. In these conditions it is appropriate that such beam is also designed to be able to receive the diagonals corresponding to each of these basic structures 4, juxtaposed as well as, if necessary, the crosspieces 8 connecting the side members 5, 6 of each of the latter.

    Dans ce but, un tel profilé 10 est conçu, avantageusement, de manière symétrique par rapport à un plan de symétrie vertical 17 et comporte, en conséquence, deux gorges filantes 11A, 11B pour la réception du jonc 12 équipant le bord longitudinal respectivement 13, 14 des couvertures à double courbure 7 correspondant, précisément, à deux structures de base 4 juxtaposées.For this purpose, such a profile 10 is advantageously designed to symmetrically about a vertical plane of symmetry 17 and consequently comprises two shooting grooves 11A, 11B for receiving the rod 12 fitted to the longitudinal edge respectively 13, 14 of the double curvature covers 7 corresponding, precisely, to two basic structures 4 juxtaposed.

    Quant aux moyens 15 destinés à la réception des extrémités 16 des diagonales 9, 9A, 9B, 9C, ou encore celle 16A correspondant à une traverse 8, ils peuvent se présenter comme représentés dans les figures 6 et 7, sous forme d'oreilles 30, 30A rapportées, notamment de manière équidistante, sur ledit profilé 10. De telles oreilles 30, 30A viennent, bien sûr, s'étendre depuis ce profilé 10 avec un angle d'inclinaison 18 adapté à l'orientation qui doit être communiquée aux diagonales 9, 9A, 9B, 9C ou encore à une traverse 8.As for the means 15 intended for the reception of the ends 16 diagonals 9, 9A, 9B, 9C, or the corresponding 16A to a cross 8, they can appear as shown in Figures 6 and 7, in the form of ears 30, 30A reported, particularly equidistantly, on said profiled 10. Such ears 30, 30A come, of course, extend from this profile 10 with an angle of inclination 18 adapted to the orientation which must be communicated to the diagonals 9, 9A, 9B, 9C or even a cross member 8.

    Il convient d'observer que de telles oreilles 30, 30A, peuvent être rapportées directement, par exemple par soudure, collage ou vissage, sur un profilé 10. Toutefois, une soudure a tendance à modifier les caractéristiques mécaniques dudit profilé, notamment si celui-ci est de type métallique. Par ailleurs, une liaison mécanique, du type vissage, nécessite une épaisseur de paroi au niveau de ce profilé qui soit suffisante pour assurer une bonne liaison.It should be observed that such ears 30, 30A, can be reported directly, for example by welding, gluing or screwing, on a profile 10. However, a weld has tendency to modify the mechanical characteristics of said profiled, especially if it is of metallic type. Through elsewhere, a mechanical connection, of the screwing type, requires a wall thickness at this profile which is sufficient to ensure a good connection.

    Pour cela, il a été imaginé une solution, consistant à pourvoir un profilé 10 d'oreilles 30, 30A au travers de pièces de jonction 31 de section externe 32 ajustée à la section interne 33 du profilé par ailleurs défini de type tubulaire. Sur une telle pièce de jonction 31, préférentiellement de type métallique, notamment en acier, sont, en définitive, rapportées, par exemple par soudure et le long de génératrices, lesdites oreilles 30, 30A, tandis qu'un profilé 10 est défini par un ou plusieurs tronçons de profilé 10A, 10B aux extrémités 34A, 34B desquelles sont enfilées des pièces de jonction 31, équipées d'oreilles 30, 30A. La liaison proprement dite entre une pièce de jonction 31 et un tronçon de profilé 10A, 10B peut être obtenu au moyen d'une goupille 35 par exemple. De plus, ces extrémités 34A, 34B des tronçons de profilé 10A, 10B sont avantageusement, entaillées, axialement, pour le passage des oreilles 30, 30A, et permettre, ainsi, d'assurer une parfaite continuité au niveau de la jonction de deux tronçons de profilé 10A, 10B.For this, a solution has been devised, consisting in providing a profile 10 of ears 30, 30A through pieces of junction 31 of external section 32 adjusted to the internal section 33 of the otherwise defined tubular type profile. On a such junction piece 31, preferably of the type metallic, in particular steel, are ultimately reported, for example by welding and along generators, said ears 30, 30A, while a profile 10 is defined by one or more sections of profile 10A, 10B at the ends 34A, 34B from which are joined connecting pieces 31, fitted with ears 30, 30A. The actual connection between a connecting piece 31 and a section of profile 10A, 10B can be obtained by means of a pin 35 for example. Moreover, these ends 34A, 34B of the section sections 10A, 10B are advantageously, notched, axially, for the passage of ears 30, 30A, and thus allow to ensure perfect continuity at the junction of two sections of profile 10A, 10B.

    En fin de compte, on observera que ces derniers comportent une longueur correspondant à l'écartement des liaisons de diagonales et/ou de traverses sur un longeron 5, 6. En fait, cette longueur est sensiblement celle d'un module M, M1, M2, M3 ou M'.In the end, we will observe that these include a length corresponding to the spacing of the connections of diagonals and / or cross members on a beam 5, 6. In fact, this length is substantially that of a module M, M1, M2, M3 or M '.

    Tel que représenté plus particulièrement dans la figure 5, de tels moyens 15 destinés à la réception des extrémités 16 des diagonales 9, 9A, 9B, 9C ou encore celle 16A correspondant à une traverse 8 peuvent emprunter, plus simplement, la forme d'une ou plusieurs ailes 19, 19A, et/ou de tronçons d'ailes s'étendant radialement en périphérie du profilé 10.As shown more particularly in FIG. 5, of such means 15 intended for the reception of the ends 16 of the diagonals 9, 9A, 9B, 9C or that 16A corresponding to a cross member 8 can borrow, more simply, the form one or more wings 19, 19A, and / or sections of wings extending radially around the periphery of profile 10.

    Comme pour les gorges 11A, 11B, de tels moyens 15 destinés à la réception des extrémités 16, 16A, selon le cas, de diagonales 9, 9A, 9B, 9C ou encore de traverses 8, adoptent une configuration symétrique par rapport au plan de symétrie vertical 17 autour du profilé 10. As for the grooves 11A, 11B, such means 15 intended for the reception of the ends 16, 16A, as the case may be, of diagonals 9, 9A, 9B, 9C or even sleepers 8, adopt a symmetrical configuration with respect to the plane of symmetry vertical 17 around profile 10.

    Il convient, encore, d'observer qu'il peut être opportun, notamment pour des raisons d'isolation thermique, de doubler une couverture à double courbure 7 de manière à délimiter entre cette dernière et la partie interne à la construction 1, un matelas d'air isolant. Pour ce faire, un profilé 10 peut recevoir une seconde paire de gorges 20A, 20B disposée à un niveau sensiblement inférieur aux gorges 11A, 11B pour la réception du jonc correspondant à une toile de doublure de deux structures de base 4, juxtaposées.It should also be noted that it may be appropriate, especially for reasons of thermal insulation, to double a double curvature cover 7 so as to delimit between the latter and the internal part of construction 1, a insulating air mattress. To do this, a profile 10 can receive a second pair of grooves 20A, 20B arranged at a level significantly lower than the grooves 11A, 11B for the reception of the rod corresponding to a lining fabric of two basic structures 4, juxtaposed.

    Tel que cela ressort des figures 2 à 4, illustrant deux modes de réalisation d'une couverture à double courbure 7 sous-tendue au niveau d'une structure de base 4, les longerons 5, 6 constituent la partie basse de la toiture que définissent, précisément, ces couvertures à double courbure 7. Dans ces conditions, ils sont amenés à recueillir l'eau de ruissellement dont il y a lieu d'assurer l'évacuation.As shown in Figures 2 to 4, illustrating two modes of a double-curved cover 7 subtended at a basic structure 4, the side members 5, 6 constitute the lower part of the roof that define, specifically, these double curvature covers 7. In these conditions, they are led to collect runoff water which must be evacuated.

    Aussi, selon un premier mode de réalisation, un profilé 10 ou encore un tronçon de profilé 10A, 10B définissant ce longeron 5, 6 est prévu de type tubulaire, sa partie interne concevant une gouttière apte à recueillir et à évacuer les eaux de ruissellement.Also, according to a first embodiment, a profile 10 or another section of profile 10A, 10B defining this spar 5, 6 is provided of tubular type, its internal part designing a gutter suitable for collecting and discharging water from runoff.

    Un tel mode de réalisation pose, toutefois, le problème de l'étanchéité entre deux profilés 10 ou tronçons de profilés 10A, 10B accouplés, successivement, l'un derrière l'autre en vue de définir une structure de base de longueur accrue et adapter à la taille de la construction 1 à réaliser. Si une telle étanchéité est techniquement parlant réalisable, elle conduit, souvent, à l'usage de joints d'étanchéité qui, lors du démontage et du remontage successifs de la construction sont amenés à se détériorer assez rapidement. A ce propos, il convient tout particulièrement de prendre en considération le fait qu'en raison de la taille de ce type de construction 1, il est difficile, voire impossible, de conférer aux longerons 5, 6, une quelconque pente en vue de faciliter l'évacuation des eaux de ruissellement.Such an embodiment poses, however, the problem of sealing between two sections 10 or sections of sections 10A, 10B coupled, successively, one behind the other in view to define a basic structure of increased length and adapt to the size of construction 1 to be produced. If one such sealing is technically feasible, it often leads to the use of seals which, when successive dismantling and reassembly of the construction are caused to deteriorate fairly quickly. In this regard, he should particularly take into account the because of the size of this type of construction 1, it is difficult, if not impossible, to confer on the longitudinal members 5, 6, any slope in order to facilitate the evacuation of runoff water.

    Aussi, l'on a imaginé un second mode de réalisation permettant à ces longerons 5, 6 de remplir plus efficacement ce rôle de gouttière d'évacuation des eaux de ruissellement. Selon ce second mode de réalisation ledit profilé 10 ou tronçon de profilé 10A, 10B est équipé directement ou encore par l'intermédiaire de pattes de liaison 21A, 21B, d'une troisième paire de gorges 22A, 22B pour la réception des joncs d'une toile étanchéifiée 23 apte à s'étendre en forme de gouttière sous un tel profilé 10 donc un longeron 5, 6.Also, we imagined a second embodiment allowing these beams 5, 6 to more effectively fulfill this role of gutter for evacuation of runoff water. According to what second embodiment of said section 10 or section of profile 10A, 10B is fitted directly or by via connecting lugs 21A, 21B, of a third pair of grooves 22A, 22B for receiving the rods of a waterproofed fabric 23 able to extend in the form of a gutter under such a profile 10 therefore a spar 5, 6.

    L'on observera que les pattes de liaison 21A, 21B, portant à leur extrémité les gorges 22A, 22B sont configurées de sorte que ladite toile en forme de gouttière 23 s'étende, parfaitement, au-dessous de ces longerons 5, 6 de manière apte à recueillir toutes les eaux de ruissellement en provenance des couvertures 7.It will be observed that the connecting lugs 21A, 21B, bearing at their ends the grooves 22A, 22B are configured so that said gutter-shaped canvas 23 extends, perfectly, below these beams 5, 6 aptly to collect all runoff from covers 7.

    De manière à éviter l'emploi de noeuds de liaison au niveau du sommet S des fermes F1, F2 définies par des diagonales ou, plus particulièrement, à hauteur des sommets 24 correspondant à un module M, M1, M2, M3 de forme pyramidale, une structure de base 4 comporte, préférentiellement, au moins un troisième longeron 25, 1à encore défini par un profité 10' comportant des moyens 15 pour la réception en vue de la fixation des diagonales 9, 9A, 9B, 9C (voir figure 8). Ce longeron 25 vient, ainsi, relier entre eux, soit les sommets s des fermes F1, F2, soit les sommets 24 de plusieurs M, M1, M2, M3 d'une même structure de base 4 ou correspondant à plusieurs structures de base 4 juxtaposées. A noter, là encore, qu'un tel longeron 25 peut être pourvu de moyens 15 pour la réception de traverses 8A, aptes à relier deux à deux ces longerons 25. In order to avoid the use of link nodes at the vertex S of farms F1, F2 defined by diagonals or, more particularly, at the height of the vertices 24 corresponding to a module M, M1, M2, M3 pyramid-shaped, a basic structure 4 preferably comprises at least a third spar 25, 1à further defined by a profit 10 'comprising means 15 for the reception with a view to fixing the diagonals 9, 9A, 9B, 9C (see Figure 8). This spar 25 thus comes to connect between them, either the vertices s of the farms F1, F2, or the vertices 24 of several M, M1, M2, M3 of the same structure of base 4 or corresponding to several base 4 structures juxtaposed. Again, note that such a spar 25 can be provided with means 15 for receiving sleepers 8A, able to connect these two side members 25 in pairs.

    Si un tel troisième longeron 25 peut être dépourvu de gorges, rien n'empêche qu'il en soit pourvu d'une ou de plusieurs, ceci de manière similaire à un profilé 10 ou un tronçon de profilé 10A, 10B définissant les longerons 5, 6. De telles gorges peuvent notamment recevoir les joncs d'une toile, plus particulièrement une grille, que l'on vient étendre en quelque sorte au-dessus des couvertures à double courbure 7 en vue, soit de protéger celles-ci des saletés, par exemple des feuilles, soit de créer un écran solaire.If such a third spar 25 can be devoid of grooves, nothing prevents it from being provided with one or more, this similar to a profile 10 or a section of profile 10A, 10B defining the longitudinal members 5, 6. Such grooves can in particular receive the rods of a canvas, more particularly a grid, which we extend in some way so above the double curvature covers 7 in sight, either to protect them from dirt, for example leaves, or to create sunscreen.

    Comme visible dans la figure 8, le profilé 10' destiné à définir un tel longeron 25 est configuré, dans sa partie inférieure 36, en forme d'un rail 37 pour la réception d'un ou plusieurs chariots 39 (représentés schématiquement) auxquels sont fixés un ou des câbles 38 de mise sous tension de la ou des couvertures à double courbure 7. Ainsi, en venant enfiler les joncs 12 d'une couverture à double courbure 7 dans les gorges 11A, 11B des longerons 5, 6 d'une structure de base 4 l'on engage, simultanément, sur le longeron 25, les chariots 39 auxquels sont accrochés le ou les câbles de mise sous tension.As shown in Figure 8, the profile 10 'intended for define such a spar 25 is configured, in its part lower 36, in the form of a rail 37 for receiving one or several trolleys 39 (shown diagrammatically) to which are fixed one or more cables 38 for energizing the or blankets with double curvature 7. Thus, by coming to thread the rods 12 of a double curvature cover 7 in the grooves 11A, 11B of the longitudinal members 5, 6 of a basic structure 4 the carriages 39 are engaged simultaneously on the spar 25 to which the tensioning cable (s) are attached.

    Au vu de la description qui précède l'on comprend, évidemment, que le montage et le démontage de ces dernières est considérablement facilité d'autant plus que la mise en place des couvertures à double courbure 7 s'obtient avec une très grande aisance, tandis que leur mise sous tension s'effectue au travers d'une traction exercée sensiblement dans une seule direction. Bien entendu, l'on évite, en outre, les différentes opérations de laçage particulièrement fastidieuses.In view of the above description, we understand, of course, that the assembly and disassembly of the latter is considerably facilitated all the more since the establishment blankets with double curvature 7 is obtained with a very great ease, while their tensioning is carried out through a traction exerted substantially in a single direction. Of course, we also avoid the different particularly tedious lacing operations.

    Finalement, une telle construction 1, conforme à l'invention, s'avère être d'une très grande modularité moyennant l'usage de pièces standard qui, par ailleurs, permettent de s'affranchir des noeuds de liaison, correspondant souvent à des pièces particulièrement coûteuses. En effet, de tels noeuds de liaison font appel, fréquemment, pour leur conception, à de nombreuses opérations de soudure, d'emboutissage, d'usinage et autre, opérations qui sont particulièrement rationalisées dans le présent cas d'espèce.Finally, such a construction 1, in accordance with the invention, turns out to be very modular through the use of standard parts which, moreover, make it possible to overcome connecting nodes, often corresponding to parts particularly expensive. Indeed, such connecting nodes frequently use numerous design tools welding, stamping, machining and other operations, operations which are particularly streamlined in the present case.

    L'on remarquera, en outre, que la présente invention a su répondre, astucieusement, au problème de l'étanchéité de ce type de construction à ossature tridimensionnelle et à couverture souple, ce qui correspond, là encore, à un avantage non négligeable.It will also be noted that the present invention has known cleverly answer the problem of the watertightness of this type of construction with three-dimensional frame and soft cover, which again represents an advantage not negligible.
