Definitions

  • the present invention concerns modular structures, particularly structures which are pretty and at the same time, self-supporting.
  • These structures are built according to room characteristics and order requirements, and include metallic gratings or wood elements and panels.
  • the modular structure includes predominantly metallic grating elements, the disadvantages resulting from long assembling and reduced possibility of the material re-using, are not so important.
  • the object of the present invention is to avoid the above mentioned disadvantages by proposing a non-permanent, modular, self-supporting structure, which reduces preparation time, manpower necessity and allows a bigger versatility for subsequent uses.
  • Another object of the present invention is to propose a modular structure, which is self-supporting and can be used for preparing non-permanent constructions of more decks.
  • a further object of the present invention is to propose a modular structure which has more versatile structure elements, the structure being obtained by a simple, highly reliable and cheap technical solution.
  • reference numeral 1 indicates a modular structure resting on or removably fastened to a support surface 2.
  • the structure 1 includes a combination of basic modular elements, such as a upright 3, a connector 4, a transversal bar 5, and, if needed, a base 7.
  • the upright predominantly longitudinal, is removably connected to the support surface 2 by the base 7.
  • This base 7 features a front opening 7a, e.g. circular, situated in the region of each of the base front surfaces, in their centre.
  • Each edge of each front surface of the base 7 features a series of front holes 70a, aligned and equidistant. The distance between the centres of the two consecutive holes defines the series basic step P.
  • each lateral surface of the base 7 features a series of lateral holes 70b, aligned and equidistant, having the basic step P.
  • At least one lateral surface of the upright 3 features, near the front surfaces, lateral openings 3b, arranged symmetrically with respect to this surface symmetry axis ( Figure 2) .
  • the same lateral surface of the upright 3 features also, made along each edge of these lateral surfaces, a series of lateral holes 30b, aligned and equidistant by the basic step P.
  • Each surface of this connector 4 features, made in its centre, a front opening 4a and, made along each edge, a series of front holes 40a, aligned and equidistant by the basic step P.
  • transversal bar 5 can be coupled with any of the front surfaces of the connector 4 that is orthogonal to the surface engaging with the upright 3.
  • the front surfaces of the transversal bar 5 feature front openings 5a, made in the centre of these surfaces, and, made along each edge, a series of front holes 50a, aligned and equidistant by the basic step P.
  • a plurality, e.g. two, lateral openings 5b are made in the opposite lateral surfaces of the transversal bar 5. These openings 5b are arranged in alignment, equidistant between themselves and from the front faces.
  • the transversal bar 5 features also, made along each edge of its lateral surfaces, a series of lateral holes 50b, aligned and equidistant by the basic step P.
  • the other two lateral surfaces of the transversal bar 5 feature a plurality of lateral holes 50b.
  • One of these surfaces extends in full, whereas the other one, opposite to the closed one, features a plurality of inspecting openings 80, which are delimited by strengthening elements 55, possibly set equidistant from one another.
  • Transversal plate-like members 8 are situated inside the transversal bar 5, near each lateral opening 5b and arranged parallel to the front surfaces of this transversal bar 5.
  • transversal plate-like members 8 are designed to create, near the lateral openings 5b, an isolation area 8a, needed for security requirements, explained in detail later.
  • any kind of modular structure 1 having the desired aesthetic-structural characteristics and being composed of basic cells C, arranged side by side or one over another, so as to form more decks.
  • wind braces 10 (Figure 1) and/or strengthening bars 6 ( Figure 2) can be used, arranged in a suitable way.
  • wind braces 10 provided at each extremity with fixing plates 10a featuring suitable holes, are fastened to the uprights 3 by tightening groups 9 in the region of the lateral holes 30b made near the front surfaces of these uprights 3.
  • the strengthening bars 6 are provided at each end with a fixing plate 6a featuring a series of front holes 60a, aligned and equidistant by the basic step P.
  • This plate 6a couples with the desired lateral surface of the base 7 by means of tightening groups 9 which engage the lateral holes 70b of this base 7 and the front holes 60a of the fixing plate 6a.
  • two adjacent uprights 3 can be connected by one or more strengthening bars 6, fixing them horizontally at predetermined heights.
  • the modular structure 1 is strengthened and can support a possible floor and/or a mezzanine.
  • the relations between longitudinal dimensions of the basic modular elements 3, 4, 5 and 7 define a support structure, composed of basic cells C, arranged side by side, for the frame of any non permanent civil, commercial and work setting.
  • the box-like structure of these basic modular elements allows to use their inside space for housing electric, data processing 1 telephone, audio-visual and other kinds of equipment, which are easy to be shielded and separated by suitable raceways, maximising the pleasant aesthetic aspect and, which is more important, observing the safety regulations of these systems.
  • the lateral openings 3b, 4b, 5b and 7a of the basic modular elements speed up the preparation of the modular structure 1 as well as the wiring of the complementary systems, as these openings allow best access to the crucial points of this modular structure 1.
  • the front openings 3a, 4a, 5a, 7a and the corresponding lateral openings 3b, 4b, 5b, 7b can be covered by buttons of complementary shape, thus further improving the structure aesthetic aspect.
  • the structure 1 can be completed and finished off according to the requirements, by addition, in an obvious way, of panels, flooring of any type and made of any material.
  • the lateral surfaces of the transversal bars 5 are provided with a plurality of longitudinal slots 150 of suitable length and aligned with the front holes 50a.
  • Suitable assembling tools like e.g. screwdrivers or spanners can be introduced through these longitudinal slots 150 inside the transversal bars 5 or other modular structure elements, so as to facilitate these elements mutual fixing.
  • the slots 150 are particularly useful when transversal bars 5 or other modular structure elements section is so narrow as to make it impossible or very difficult for the operator to introduce hands inside the openings 80.
  • the modular structure 1 is substantially made of metal sheet which is folded as to form a box-like structure and then assembled according to known techniques, but it can be also made of prefabricated metal section bars with openings and holes present in the basic modular elements 3, 4, 5, 7 obtained by tridimensional metal sheet cutting using a laser.
  • One of the biggest advantages of the so obtained modular structure 1 derives from the fact that it allows the maximum construction modularity, thus facilitating transport and laying the elements composing this structure, which drastically reduces the manpower costs necessary for its preparation.
  • Another advantage of this structure lies in the high flexibility of wiring of data processing, telephone, electric, audio-visual and other systems, maintaining unchanged the aesthetic aspect of the subject modular structure 1 and guaranteeing the maximum safety for the structure users.
  • the box-like configuration of the basic modular elements 3, 4, 5, 7 together with their suitable dimensions guarantees the modular structure 1 bearing feature, which allows the structure to support a floor and one or more mezzanines, according to the needs, and to maximise the room for the structure as requested.
  • the so obtained structure is extremely strong and light, and at the same time, it is small, simple to transport and versatile in use.
  • Modifications can include e.g. uprights having circular section, or transversal bars having triangular section, which can be used in different combinations that need suitably shaped connectors having suitable dimensions.
