Abstract
A truss system comprises at least one truss element of mutually parallel tube bodies (11, 12) which are mutually connected in a ladder element (10) by a system of shores (15, 16). The tube bodies (11, 12) are provided at opposite outer ends with coupling means (13) for a force-transmitting coupling to a further truss element. Ladder elements (10) are connected releasably to each other by form-stiff coupling elements (30).
Claims20
A truss element comprising at least a first and a second ladder element of mutually parallel tube bodies extending in a longitudinal direction, the tube bodies of which are mutually connected by a system of shores and are provided at opposite outer ends with coupling means for a releasable, force-transmitting coupling to a further truss element, wherein the ladder elements are mutually connected in transverse direction by means of a number of form-stiff coupling elements which impart a shape to the truss element, wherein the ladder elements comprise connecting means for a releasable connection to a flank of a coupling element, and wherein the ladder elements are connected rigidly to each other via the coupling elements by means of the connecting means.
