Inflatable structure

Номер: US20120090248A1
Автор: Mark Thompson
Принадлежит: Finecard International Ltd

A structure which is transformable by inflation from a collapsed condition for storage to an erect condition for use has an inflatable tubular framework and at least one flexible web attached to and extending between two or more regions of the framework. The inflatable framework is formed by at least one inner inflatable tubular element (A, B) of flexible, elastic, air-impermeable material and having an inflation valve ( 13,15 ) accommodated within an outer sleeve arrangement of a material which is flexible but substantially non-elastic and restrained therein upon inflation. The outer sleeve arrangement is configured to include at least one branch point and/or at least one abrupt bend and the configuration of the inner tubular element or elements (A, B) corresponds to that (branch points (a, b) and abrupt bends (z)) so that the inner tube or tubes will substantially fill the outer sleeve arrangement upon inflation. Each inner tube (A, B) is formed by cutting and bonding of the air-impermeable material to provide a continuous inflatable compartment of relevant configuration and is inserted through an opening in the outer sleeve arrangement and fed through so as to fill it when later inflated in use.

A modular datacenter facility is constructed with a set of building modules of different types of functionality to form an entire datacenter facility having a standardized pre-approved architectural design and layout. All instances of a particular type of building module will have approximately a same floor plan and architectural design. An initial set of building modules can be built upon a parcel of land, and then as needs of space and additional capacity of the modular datacenter facility increase, then at a future point in time additional building modules of the different types can be rapidly added to the initial set of building modules. The building modules of the different types use one or more connecting corridors architected into at least a first type of building module and corresponding aligned doorways between both building modules to interconnect two building modules adjacent and abutted to each other.

The detailed principle, structure, manufacture and designing method of a retractable roof for large stadiums or other huge spaces are established. This roof is formed by using a number of connected and paralleled inflatable arc shaped tubes (called “air beams”) made of soft material (membrane). Using successive inflation to the tubes can realize deploying of the roof, and using successive deflation of tubes can realize retraction of the roof. All these processes can be completed by an automatically controlled program. A rigorous mathematics derivation and mechanics proof show that, the retractable air beam roof with durable membrane of ordinary durability can have a large span of over 100 meters, and can withstand in a regularly extreme (critical) weather (heavy wind, rain, snow and hail). The outstanding strong point of this kind of retractable roof is absolutely safe for spectators and performers (or competitors) inside the stadium. 13-.

Disclosed is a floor assembly for a modular building unit that avoids the need to turn the floor assembly frame over for installation of a floor subsheet, and that likewise provides a modular floor subsheet that may be fitted to the modular building unit without welding, rivets, screws, or other tooling. A floor assembly frame includes side rails that form the exterior, bottom perimeter of the modular building unit, and joists that extent between parallel side rails of the floor assembly frame. The joists are configured at their base on one side with a slot configured to receive one end of a section of a floor subsheet. An opposite end of the floor subsheet is then positioned overtop the joist element that forms the top portion of the slot on an adjacent joist, which opposite end may then be held in place with a pin, clip, or other fastener requiring minimal effort to install. Such assembly allows all components of the floor to be installed from above, thus avoiding the need to invert the frame of the floor assembly during installation. Likewise, the modular nature of the assembly allows installation to be carried out by fewer personnel than required in traditional installations. 1.

WELDED ROOF FOR MODULAR BUILDING UNITS

Номер: US20160017609A1
Автор: Bottin Herve
Принадлежит:

Disclosed is a roof assembly for a modular building unit that comprises a roofing sheet that is welded to the frame of the modular building unit to form a unitary, continuous sealed weld between the roofing sheet and the generally horizontal structural frame of the modular building unit, and that is pitched to downwardly direct water toward one end of the modular building unit. The welded roof assembly prevents water infiltration into the modular building unit, and such watertight structure may then receive any gutter configuration the user wishes to implement without risking water infiltration into the building unit. The welded roofing sheet avoids the use of screws or other fasteners, and the associated possibility of water leakage around the screws and into the building unit. The welded roof also is able to employ a single slope all of the way through the full span of the roof, thus avoiding the need for a centrally pitched roof assembly, and its unitary construction avoids the tiling effect that results from the use of multiple, overlapping roofing sheets. The welded roof also avoids the need for silicon or other filler agents between the unitary roofing sheet and the frame of the modular building unit.

Stackable Reinforced Concrete Post for Various Outdoor Applications

Номер: US20190017289A1
Автор: Wilhelm Stanley Ray, Wilhelm Yenni
Принадлежит:

An improvement to a previously filed US patent, The Stackable Reinforced Concrete Post for Various Outdoor Applications serves as a way to improve the fence as it is known today. By replacing the typical wooden posts used in fencing with several stacked, sturdy, reinforced blocks of concrete, the fence posts should never have to be replaced in a lifetime. Additionally, these may also be used for the application of barbed wire with the addition of a groove in the concrete blocks. With a relatively simple one-time application consisting of digging a hole in the ground and stacking each consecutive block on top of the other, this invention is not only easy to use, but effective. 1. A stackable concrete post consisting of a concrete pylon base and 9 concrete modules that are stacked vertically. Rebar , epoxy , and mortar are used as described in this application with the purpose of strengthening the anchoring system and preserving the integrity of the post.2. A concrete pylon base and a concrete module made of cement and molded , reinforced by a galvanized wire cage inside the unit , designed with holes where the rebar would be inserted and groove where barbed or woven wire would sit on.3. The application of this invention for post for privacy fencing and board rail fencing by the means of drop-in anchors and socket flat heads. The current invention is an improvement to U.S. Pat. No. 4,519,586, dated May 28, 1985, which was granted to the current applicant. This previous invention consisted of one vertical reinforced concrete module and was intended for livestock fencing. Improved in the design, the current invention excels in the ease of use and extends the uses of the invention.Patent document number U.S. Pat. No. 5,934,035A details a modular pillar made of precast brick layers that is jointed with bolts. It is used for privacy fencing, similar to this patent. However, unlike this patent, the use of the bricks will cause deterioration over time, whereas concrete will ...

Ballroom-Style Cleanroom Assembled from Modular Buildings

Номер: US20220064935A1
Автор: Taylor Mark P., Williams R. Blake
Принадлежит: G-CON Manufacturing, Inc.

A rapidly deployable cleanroom is constructed from multiple modular building sections that are side-by-side and have similarly sized lengths, as well as user-accessible panels in multiple of them for air, water, power, networking, and other utilities at a similar internal location along their lengths. The utility panels can be standardized such that each panel is substantially identical to one another. The modular building sections can be drawn together using tension cables within lateral hollow extruded structural tubes beneath and/or above the cleanroom, the tension system utilizing jackscrews to pull everything tight. Because the utility panels are at the same longitudinal location in the building sections, the joined structure and resulting open space “ballroom” style cleanroom has the utility panels aligned with each other inside the cleanroom.
