| 20090145072 | Tenon joint type space lattice structure - The present invention discloses a tenon joint type space lattice structure consisted of a predetermined quantity of lattice units and combining pillar. The lattice unit includes a convex tenon and a concave tenon groove disposed at an end of the lattice and connected with each other through two or more pre-molded components to form a tenon-and-groove structure, such that the protruded tenon between the components can be embedded into a tenon joint assembly in an adjacent tenon groove for connecting the components in series to form a continuously extended lattice unit. The continuous structure of lattice units forms a plane layer of a space lattice structure. The combining pillar is passed perpendicularly through the hollow portion of the component for connecting the plane layers of the lattice units along the direction of the height of the structure to form a three-dimensional space lattice structure. A heavy filling material is filled into the hollow portion of the structure to form a gravity structure, and a combining pillar is piled into a stratum or foundation to form a cantilever structure, so that the pace lattice structure becomes a multifunctional structure for earth retaining, water drainage, and earth fill vegetation. | 06-11-2009 |
| 20090235608 | SUPPORT STRUCTURES FORMED FROM TRIANGULAR ELEMENTS - A support structure for use in buildings, vehicle cargo holds, containers, and similar enclosures. The structure typically employs a plurality of triangular-shaped elements that form a low-profile structural support member. The structures may be may be formed from sheet material, such as galvanized steel or aluminum using cold roll-forming or bending (press brake) technology. Various embodiments may also be formed from metal or polymers using extrusion technology. These support structures are particularly well suited for applications in building walls or roof panelized systems as supporting elements. | 09-24-2009 |
| 20110030306 | Readily Configured and Reconfigured Structural Trusses Based on Tetrahedrons as Modules - Truss structures assembled from modules comprising one hinge link, four spacer links and four apex joinders, one at each end or each hinge link. The second hinge link to complete a tetrahedron is missing from the module, and is provided by the hinge link of a next in line module so as to provide a series of joined tetrahedrons. When the strut is assembled, the apex joinders enable the strut to be formed into a wide variety of shapes. | 02-10-2011 |
| 20140102034 | SPACE TRUSS SYSTEM - A space truss system comprises structural rods with each structural rod having a first portion having a first end and a second end, a middle portion having a first end and a second end, and a second end portion having a first end and a second end. The second end of the first portion is joined to the first end of the middle portion at a first predetermined angle and the second end of the middle portion is joined to the second end of the second portion at a second predetermined angle. The first portions of a portion of the structural rods are grouped together forming a first pyramid structure with the first ends of the middle portions forming an apex and the second ends of the middle portions forming a base. | 04-17-2014 |
| 20150308117 | Spanning truss for hanging a load - A spanning truss for hanging a load has an elongated beam frame including two sides, each having an elongated top chord and an elongated bottom chord connected by a plurality of diagonal web members, and wherein the two sides are connected between respective top chords by a plurality of straight web members and a plurality of X-shaped braces connected between respective top chords and bottom chords. At least one of the plurality of X-shaped braces includes a central doughnut shaped connector member adapted to secure a central pipe therethrough, an elongated central pipe extending the length of the beam frame and attached to each of the plurality of X-shaped braces and extending through and secured to the at least one central doughnut shaped connector member of the at least one X-shaped brace, and at least one attachment bracket having a proximal end that is removably attached to the at least one central doughnut shaped connector member, wherein the attachment bracket is elongated and extends in a direction opposite from a side of the beam frame that includes the straight web members, and wherein the attachment bracket has a distal end that is adapted to releasably hold a load thereto. | 10-29-2015 |
| 20150315786 | LIGHTING SYSTEMS AND IMPROVEMENTS THERETO - Improvements to lighting equipment are disclosed, notably in the integration of functions formerly performed by separate units and in improved flow of and access to information required for configuration, operation, troubleshooting, and documentation. Improvements are disclosed to the fabrication of trusses and other structures employed in such systems and for other purposes, including a profile having important advantages in shipping and storage space requirements. | 11-05-2015 |
