DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
The present invention relates to the building of an industry hall, a storehouse, a sport hall, an aeroplane hangar, a service hall and similar buildings, which are to be erected at a great distance from the manufacturing factory. The expression industry hall as used in the specification below comprises the above-mentioned different types of buildings as well as other similar buildings.
In order to make possible a simple transport of the integral parts of the industry hall, the parts are according to the present invention packed together into a package, which fulfils the international container regulations as faras dimension and strength are concerned. All parts for the industry hall can be contained within the boundary of the package, which can be transported in a conventional way.
According to the present invention the package is built by the roof support beams of the industry hall, which form the outer shell or frame of the container.
In view of the international regulations a container should have a length of about 12 m(or 9 m). A suitable width of span for a roof support member in the industry hall is 24 m. By the expression roof support member is meant a support composite frame, which spans between two in line mounted main uprights. The roof support member consists of two roof support beams, which are in-line with each other and joined together at the ridge of the roof. The length of the industry hall determines the numbers of roof support member required for the building.
The problem of producing a transportable unit for the parts needed for an industry hall or a house has previously been observed and solved, confer Norwegian patent specification No. 92215. The drawback with this previously known system is that it lacks flexibility, as one is bound to exactly the size of house which is projected. The advantage of the present invention is that the package is built by the roof support beams which are always required in an industry hall while the remaining parts are optional. Thereby a great flexibility is achieved.
According to the present invention two roof support beams, which in the industry hall form a roof support member, are mounted together next to each other in order to form a rectangular composite frame having half the length of the roof support member, i.e. 12 m. Two such mounted composite frames form two side surfaces of the container. The distance between these rectangular composite frames is maintained by means of mounting members, which are used in the industry hall in order to connect together the roof beams at the ridge of the roof.
The present invention discloses a package for transport of components of a hall. The hall contains at least four roof support beams 4, four gable beams 2 and eight mounting members 7. The root support beams 4 being interconnected in pairs and in parallel in order to form at least two rectangular composite frames 8. In this arrangement the upper and lower long side of each rectangular composite frame a gable beam 2 is connected in such a manner that each gable beam includes a number of mounting ears 9 with mounting holes 10. The mounting members 7 consist, of beams with mounting holes 11. Such mounting members 7 are connected with the mounting ears 9 of the gable beams 2 and are transversally directed perpendicular to the rectangular composite frames 8. The mounting members 7 of two spaced parallel rectangular composite frames face and overlap each other and are interconnected in such a way that the two rectangular composite frames are positioned at a predetermined distance from each other and form the side surfaces of a rectangular container. The dimensions of the container correspond to the dimensions according to the international regulations for a transport container.
The present invention also discloses a method of packaging for transport of components of a hall comprising at least four roof support beams 4, each having a lower, essentially horizontal girder 6 and an upper, inclined girder 5, two of the roof support beams 4 in use being mounted together
