Definitions

  • the invention relates to a lattice truss of the type defined in the introductory portion of the claim.
  • a known lattice truss of this type contains bending eccentricities which must be taken into consideration for load capacity.
  • the same is worth for another known lattice truss (DE-A-22 39 573) whose elements are interconnected at each junction by only one bolt and nut.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a lattice truss of the stated type in which only normal forces occur, i.e. either tension or pressure in the lattice bars.
  • each of the joints will be a hinge where the calculation of the forces of load including the dead load does not have to allow for addition of moment loads.
  • the lattice truss of the invention has the additional advantage that the lattice bars can be transported connected with the head of the rafter or the foot of the rafter in a state folded together with the member in question so that the truss can partly be pre-assembled and rapidly be erected on the building site.
  • the general lattice truss of fig. 1 which is supported at the ends, consists of a rafter head 1 and a rafter foot 2 and lattice bars 3 interconnecting these.
  • the joint is assembled as shown successively in figs. 2 to 5.
  • Fig. 2 shows the upper end of a first type lattice bar 10 made of a thin sheet to form a hollow profile, C-profile or U-profile.
  • the lattice bar 10 has rectangular recesses 11, 12 in one set of opposite sides 13, 14.
  • the recesses 11, 12 can receive and snugly surround a secnd type lattice bar 20 likewise manufactured of a thin sheet to form a hollow profile, C-profile or U-profile.
  • the lattice bar 20 has mating holes 23, 24 for a pipe section 30, which has internal threads 31, 32 at each end and the same length as the internal spacing between the second set opposite walls 15, 16 of the first type lattice bar 10; the second set opposite walls 15,16 have mating holes 17, 18 for bolts which are shown and described in connection with fig. 5.
  • Fig. 3 shows how the pipe section 30 has to be disposed when positioned in the mating holes 23, 24 in the lattice bar 20, and fig. 4 shows how the first type lattice bar 10 is positioned so as to surround and support the second type lattice bar 20 in a position in which the mating holes 17, 18 are in register with the threaded holes 31, 32 in the pipe section 30.
  • Fig. 5 shows a rafter head 40 whose profile, which is essentially a U-profile, has been manufactured by cold deformation.
  • the profile has additional bends along the edges so that in the embodiment shown the profile resembles that of a hat.
  • the unclamped connection of fig. 4 is introduced between the branches 41, 42 in the U-profile of the rafter head 40.
  • These branches 41, 42 having mating holes of the same diameter as the mating holes in the lattice bar 10.
  • the Allen screw 50 shown in fig. 5 is inserted through the mating hole 43 in the side of the rafter head 40 shown in fig. 5 and through the mating hole 18 in the lattice bar 10 and is then screwed into the threads 32; and a corresponding Allen screw 50 is inserted through the mating hole (not shown) in the opposite branch 42 of the U-profile and through the mating hole 17 in the lattice bar 10 and is then screwed into the threads 31 in the other end of the pipe section 30.
  • the joint connection shown in fig. 5 at the rafter head 40 is indentical with a joint connection at the rafter foot when fig. 5 is turned upside down, the same U-shaped profile being used for the rafter foot as for the rafter head.
