    摘要: The present invention is directed to improved tank structures and apparatus for their construction. The walls of the prestressed tank are formed by inflating a membrane, applying one or more layers of rigidifying material outwardly of said membrane and then prestressing the walls by circumferentially wrapping prestressing material to minimize the tension in the rigidifying material when subject to loading. In another embodiment, wall forms are placed inwardly of said membrane to aid in the forming of the walls and circumferential prestressing. In the best mode of the invention, the walls are of reinforced plastic, fiber-reinforced plastic or resin sandwich composite construction this application focuses on. Seismic countermeasures which may also be used to protect the structure against earthquakes and other tremors, by the anchoring of the tank walls to the base and permitting the seismic forces to be shared by the seismic anchors. When a seismic disturbance occurs, the force acting on the structure can be transmitted and distributed to the footing and around the circumference of the tank.

    摘要: A method for making a steel/concrete tank is provided. A steel interior tank is pressurized during or after pouring of a concrete outer tank around a steel inner tank. Pressurization is commenced before the concrete has set, and is maintained until substantial setting of the concrete. The resulting structure is less susceptible than previous structures to cracking of the exterior concrete upon pressure-testing of the structure for leaks.

    摘要: Aquatic amusement device comprising a canvas held in an inflated configuration by a pneumatic overpressure inside a closed space under the canvas. The canvas has a top and a periphery and a trench full of water is provided along the canvas periphery. A support structure extends from the closed space up through the canvas supporting the canvas in the inflated configuration, with the canvas being supported in air-tight suspension from a suspension point some distance up the support structure. A water discharge device is provided on top of the support structure for directing water onto the canvas, and a water circulator is provided for circulating water from the trench in and under the canvas and along the support structure to the water discharge device. In this way, water exiting from the water discharge device flows by itself over the canvas back to the trench.

    摘要: A method of making a hard multi-tubular structure which comprises; producing a flat hose fabric composed of a plurality of side-by-side abutting hoses, introducing uninflated foil tubes into each of the hoses of the fabric, the tubes being of substantially the same length as the length of the fabric, inflating the tubes for expanding the hoses into formed hollow sections, treating the fabric with a hardening material, and allowing a hardening of the hardening material and a setting of the fabric with the hoses in expanded condition. Therefollowing, the tubes are left after the setting of the hose fabric in the respective hollow sections free of any internal inflating pressure. Alternatively, the tubes may be withdrawn from the hollow sections after the setting.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for forming a structure having an inner surface in the form of at least one segment of a sphere. An inner support is mounted at a fixed point from which a radius can be struck to define the inner surface of the structure. An elongated radial member is pivotally connected at one end to the inner support with its other end being movable vertically and horizontally. A forming member at the other end of the elongated member has an outer surface in the shape of the inner surface of the segment to be formed. An actuator moves the elongated member horizontally and vertically to selected positions to place the outer surface of the forming member opposite and adjacent the inner surface of each segment being formed. A forming material is applied to the outer surface of the forming member while it is opposite and adjacent the inner surface of the segment being formed to form each segment directly on the forming member.

    摘要: A veil section of a hyperbolic natural draft cooling tower is constructed on a lintel beam in the form of a closed planar curve provided with anchors spaced about the perimeter of the lintel beam for facilitating connection to the lintel beam of upstanding peripherally spaced column sections between which preformed panels are attached to fill the spaces between the spaced columns. Once the panels are affixed to the columns, the latter, as well as the adjacent portions of the adjoining panels, are encased in a cementitious material such as concrete. Additional sections of columns and panels are erected above the initial veil section by the same process as the latter in order to complete the veil. Vertically adjacent veil sections are attached to one another by connection of the columns in end-to-end relationship.

    摘要: A self-supporting inflatable structure useful, for example, as an inexpensive, readily assembled planetarium, such structure being made of an extensible material having a plurality of panels, each shaped so as to form, when inflated, a hemispherical dome-like structure. A first channel, also made of extensible material is used to supply air, as from an inexpensive, conventional window fan for inflating the structure and a second channel permits the exit of such air in a controlled manner while at the same time acting as an entrance/exit channel for persons using the inflated chamber.The extensible material is preferably formed of co-extruded, or laminated, opaque plastic sheets, one sheet having a white surface for use as the interior display surface of the planetarium and one sheet being black to prevent light entry into the chamber. The air input and exit channels have a curved configuration which prevents light from entering into the inflated chamber. Such a structure can also be used for many other purposes, both educational or recreational, for example.

    摘要: An improved compost bin is disclosed and a ventilation channel is formed directly beneath the compost contained in the bin. A tunnel member having a perforated upper portion is contained in the channel to maintain a free passage for air to the base of the heap. The tunnel also prevents the walls of the channel from collapsing and the passage thereby becoming blocked either by the substrate on which the bin is mounted on by decomposing vegetable matter from the bin.In preferred embodiments, end caps are provided to further inhibit the encroachment of the substrate around the walls of and into the tunnel. Holes are provided in a central portion of each end caps to ensure free passage of air.The bin comprises a plurality of similar panels which interengage to form a plurality of vertical sliding joints. The dimensions of the panels and the tunnel are preferably such that, when not in use, the panels may be confined within the tunnel. The bin is normally sold in a kit taking this form. End caps, where used close the tunnel and auxiliary elements such as locking pins and a cover may thus be contained in the package.
