sixth embodiment

[0037]With reference to FIG. 6, in a sixth embodiment, the central member (50) comprises two T-shaped elements (500) each having two spaces. An outer frame (51) comprises two triangular tubular elements (510) and two L-shaped connecting elements (511). The triangular tubular elements (510) are attached to each other and respectively enclose the T-shaped elements (500). The triangular tubular elements (510) are filled with appropriate material (520) such as concrete or resilient material. The L-shaped connecting elements (511) are attached to the triangular tubular elements (510) to combine the triangular tubular elements (510) together.

[0038]With reference to FIG. 7, the outer frame (41) may comprise two tubular enclosing elements (410) and four tubular connecting elements (412). The tubular enclosing elements (410) are connected to each other by two connecting plates (411) and respectively enclose the T-shaped elements (500). The tubular connecting elements (412) are mounted respec...

tenth embodiment

[0041]With reference to FIG. 10, in a tenth embodiment, the central member (60) comprises two plates (61) each having an outer side, an inner side facing to each other, multiple neck portions and multiple enlarged portions beside the neck portions. Multiple lateral tabs (62) are attached to each plate (61) at the enlarge portions.

[0042]The outer frame (43) comprises four tubular connecting elements (430), two connecting plates (431) and two U-shaped connecting elements (432). The tubular connecting elements (430) are arranged respectively on the outer sides of the plates (61). Each connecting plate (431) is mounted between a pair of adjacent tubular connecting elements (430) which are arranged on the outer side of a same plate (61) to combine the adjacent tubular connecting elements (430) together. The U-shaped connecting elements (432) are attached to each other, arranged between the inner sides of the plates (61) and connected respectively to the tubular connecting elements (430) ...

Abstract

A shock-absorbing tie brace has a central member and an outer frame. The central member has two ends and multiple neck portions. Each neck portion has a dimension of cross section smaller than that of the ends to form multiple enlarged portions beside the neck portions on the central member. The outer frame is mounted around and encloses the central member. Accordingly, the shock-absorbing tie brace has an excellent capability for bearing buckling load and is not easily bent or buckled.

Description

[0001]The present invention is a continuation application of the application Ser. No. 11 / 037,033, filed on Jan. 17, 2005.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]The present invention relates to a shock-absorbing tie brace, and more particularly to a shock-absorbing tie brace used in structures to absorb shock transmitted from the ground or a floor.[0004]2. Description of Related Art[0005]To enhance the strength of a structure, tie braces are mounted at an angle respectively between columns and beams supported by the columns in the structure to stiffen the frame of the structure, and shock-absorbing tie braces also absorb shocks to the structure. However, the conventional shock-absorbing tie brace lacks excellent capability for bearing buckling load, such that the conventional one is easily buckled or bent during an earthquake.[0006]To overcome the shortcomings, the present invention tends to provide a shock-absorbing tie brace to mitigate or obviate the afore...
