Abstract
A new conical roof building method provides flat plates having straight abutting edges and curved outer edges. The plates are placed horizontally edge to edge except for a sectoral opening. The plates are welded together to form a flat disc-shaped blank, leaving an open sector of the blank. Radial supports are welded to a top of the disc-shaped blank. A center of the disc-shaped blank is lifted, forming a conical-shaped structure, closing and abutting edges of the open sector and touching edges of the formerly open sector are welded together, completing the forming of the conical roof.
Claims12
A conical roof building method, comprising providing plates having straight abutting edges and curved outer edges, welding the plates together and forming a disc-shaped blank and leaving an open sector of the blank, welding radial supports to a top of the disc-shaped blank, lifting a center of the disc-shaped blank and forming a conical-shaped structure, abutting edges of the open sector and securing edges of the open sector together, and completing the forming of the conical roof further comprising initially supporting the plates on a table structure and supporting curved edge portions of the plates on upper edges of a cylindrical shell ring before and during the welding of the plates together and the welding of the radial supports to the top of the disc-shaped blank.
A conical roof building method, comprising providing plates having straight abutting edges and curved outer edges, welding the plates together and forming a disc-shaped blank and leaving an open sector of the blank, welding radial supports to a top of the disc-shaped blank, lifting a center of the disc-shaped blank and forming a conical-shaped structure, abutting edges of the open sector and securing edges of the open sector together, and completing the forming of the conical root further comprising welding a compression ring to upper and inward portions of the radial supports after completing the forming of the conical roof.
A conical roof building method, comprising providing plates having straight abutting edges and curved outer edges, welding the plates together and forming a disc-shaped blank and leaving an open sector of the blank, welding radial supports to a top of the disc-shaped blank, lifting a center of the disc-shaped blank and forming a conical-shaped structure, abutting edges of the open sector and securing edges of the open sector together, and completing the forming of the conical roof further, comprising supporting the plates on plural parallel tables and supporting outer curved edge portions of the plates on a circular upper edge of a shell ring before and during the welding of the plates together and the welding of the radial supports to the top of the disc-shaped blank.
