The present invention relates to the field of construction and can be used in the
manufacture of scaffolds folding shells of different shapes and applications.
Known folding frame retina of rotation, comprising a network with quadrangular cells
of pivotally interconnected not split cores made rigid in the tangential surface of the
shell plane and resiliently flexible in the plane and along geodetic lines having equal
angles to the rotation axis, wherein the pivot joints have axes perpendicular to the
surface of the shell. (AS USSR №646016, E04V 1/343, 7/08 E04V, 1979.)
A disadvantage of the device is the need to manufacture not split cores complex
profile, combining the rigidity in one plane with the flexibility in the other
plane.Furthermore, the known solution proposed in connection rods with fasteners
that are placed in the holes rods, leads to a weakening of the bar section, which
reduces the strength of the carcass, to improve the complexity and the formation of
waste products.

A disadvantage of the device is used in a large range of products with different 6. Folding frame according to claim retina. 1, characterized in that the
bindings, which complicates the fabrication and reduces the performance of the pivotal mounting elements connect the inner and outer layers of resiliently
device. (AS USSR №1747619, E04V 1/343, 15/48 E04N, E04V 7/08, 1992) flexible rods.

As a prototype is selected collapsible frame retina, comprising a network with cells of
pivotally interconnected resiliently flexible rods terminated curved loops and the loops
disposed along the length side of the cell and rods terminated curved loops,
tightening and latches the position, and the loop-windings, which are in one plane, are
connected by rod fasteners. (Utility model №96883 E04V 1/343, E04V 7/08, 2008)
The disadvantages of the prototype device include: the size constraints and the ability
of the carrier shell.
7. Folding frame according to claim retina. 1, characterized in that the ends
of the resiliently flexible rods, puffs and latches the position of nozzles are
bent inwardly at locations along the length of the loop.
8. Folding frame according to claim retina. 1, characterized in that the ends
of the resiliently flexible rods, clamps puffs and position loops are bent at
the ends and inside bent in places nozzles loops along the length of the

network with cells of resiliently flexible rods fixatives puffs position and with curved
hinges along the length and at the ends hinged to rod fasteners, characterized in that
the ends of the rods are bent inwardly nozzles.

Furthermore, among the essential features characterizing the device are distinctive:

https://patents.google.com/patent/RU2597417C2/en?oq=2597417 1/4
23/2/2018 Google Patents
- fixing elements connect the inner and outer layers of resiliently flexible rods and
clamps puffs position;

- the ends of resiliently flexible rods, puffs and locks into position bent tips at places
along the length of the loops;

- the ends of resiliently flexible rods, puffs and locks the position have folded loops at
the ends and bent inside tips in places loops along the length of the rods.

Between the set of essential features of the claimed apparatus and attainable
technical result there is a causal relationship, namely fixation of nozzles on the folded
ends of the rods provides a higher strength and possibility of increasing the stability of
the rods by increasing the cross section of resiliently flexible rods via nozzles made of
tubular profiles.

Stem fasteners (cylindrical joints) are made in the form of rivets, pins or the tubular
profile with internal or external thread for fixing the bolts with nuts or hinges along the
length of the rods with curved ends and bent inside nozzles loops at the folded ends
of the rods inside the nozzles.

Bits 3 operate in compression and can be made of metal such as aluminum or plastic,
such as ultra high molecular weight high density polyethylene (UHMWPE),
polypropylene pipes, composites or nanocomposites.

Resiliently flexible rods, clamps and tightening positions 1, 9, 10 operate in tension

and are made of high-strength steel, such as spring wire, composite, or
nanocomposite.

Stem fasteners 6 may be made of metal such as high strength steel or impact-
resistant plastic, such as ultra high molecular weight high density polyethylene
(UHMWPE) in the form of studs, screws, bolts, rivets, tubular with internal or external

are expanded in length and width.

Resiliently flexible rods retainers position 9 and torque 10 pivot on hinges along the
length of 2 around the fastening elements 6 in the operating position with locking
hinges along the length of two nuts 7 or the bolts 8 on adjacent rod fastening
elements 6 in the corners of cells, formed by a resiliently flexible rod 1 (Fig. 5 ).

The dimensions of structural elements are selected by calculation as a function of

shell parameters and the required technical and economic design characteristics.

Coating retina carcass can be performed from a single layer or multi-layer films,
fabrics, mesh or individual panels of different materials, such as aluminum, ETFE film
or UHMWPE.

As a result of folding the frame shell has a low weight and high load capacity with
minimum weight and material consumption.

Durability elements retina carcass, simplicity and speed of installation, the ability to
create complex geometric shapes shells of all sizes are advantages of the present
invention in comparison with earlier counterparts.

Manufacturing of the carcass has a minimum of waste and energy-intensive

operations (welding, drilling).

Due to the ease and strength of the structure of the collapsible mesh skeleton shell,
possibly, its use in the construction in the water, seismic, mountainous regions, in the
garden and advertising designs, small architectural forms, for buildings and
structures, such as domes, vaults, shells free and bionic forms as well as vehicles.
