Abstract
A lattice structure comprising a series of connecting rings or half-rings on which a series of orienting elements are secured. The orienting elements being equipped with holes and a slot in which the connecting rings or half-rings are disposed, as well as comprising profiles that are solidly connected using joining elements that extend through holes in the profiles.
Claims11
A lattice structure comprising:
- connecting rings or half rings, each having a structural element wherein orienting elements and primary profiles and secondary profiles are configured to form a node of said lattice structure to become connected, being supported on, embracing or being embraced by said connecting rings or half rings, wherein
- said primary profiles including at least one flat primary profile,
- said secondary profiles including at least one folded secondary profile,
- said orienting elements, each having an element that positions the connecting rings or half rings in a three-dimensional space, embracing or being supported on the three-dimensional space of said connecting rings or half rings by means of a slot,
- said orienting elements have a series of holes whereby said orienting elements are connected to said primary profiles and secondary profiles such that a distance between said series of holes defines an angle of the primary profiles and the secondary profiles, and
- one of said at least one flat primary profile and one of said at least one folded secondary profile being folded with a V-shaped section and with a first face of the V-shaped section being longer than a second face of the V-shaped section, and in which ends of both the longer face of the at least one folded secondary profile and the at least one flat primary profile have holes at a center of a profile width of said primary profiles and secondary profiles and have slots towards a lateral edge of said primary profiles and secondary profiles, which are perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of said primary profiles and secondary profiles in a case where said primary profiles and secondary profiles are configured to work under tensile or compressive forces, interchangeably, or with an angle other than 90° configured to work only under tensile force or only under compressive force.
