Element for performing sports facility stands and sports faility stand performed by means of said element

Abstract

A component (1) for implementing a stand for sport venues, such as for example stadia and / or sports halls, said component (1) comprising at least a main module apt to be placed upon a bearing structure (7, 24) as to implement a portion of a big step of said stand, said main module having a substantially L-like or Z-like cross-section and thus comprising in a first case a first substantially flat tread portion (1p) apt to be stepped on by the spectators and a second substantially flat riser portion (1a) extending from said tread portion and defining with said tread portion a predefined angle, and in a second case a first substantially flat tread portion (1p) apt to be stepped on by the spectators, as well as a first and a second substantially flat riser portion (1aa) and (1ab) extending from opposite ends of said tread portion and defining with said tread portion each one a predefined angle, said main module comprising an upper plate (2) and a lower plate (3), both made of metallic sheet, mutually joined and substantially shaped like a L or a Z.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE PRESENT INVENTION[0001]The present invention places in the technical field related to the implementation of apparatuses for sport venues such as for examples stadia, football pitches, sports halls and / or the like. In particular, the present invention relates to the implementation of stands for sport venues of the type mentioned previously. In detail, the present invention relates to an innovative component or module for the implementation of stands for sport venues or the like.DESCRIPTION OF THE STATE OF THE ART[0002]In the field of the implementation of apparatuses for sport venues such as for example stadia, football pitches, sports halls and / or the like, different solutions are known and used. According to the most part of the known solutions, the stands for sport venues of the type mentioned previously are implemented by using pre-fabricated modules in reinforced concrete apt to define so-called big steps whereupon in case seats are then arranged or which ...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention is a new technology that can be used to create structures with big steps, such as at sport arenas or other non-sporting fields. The invention allows for the implementation of high-quality structures at a low cost and with minimal tolerances. It also provides the advantage of using existing materials on the market, simplifying the manufacturing and assembly process. The invention includes various methods for connecting metallic members and adding polyurethane foam to the inner spaces of the structure for additional stability. The invention can be used in any location where a structure with big steps is needed.

Problems solved by technology

One first considerable disadvantage is related to the prefabricated modules' own weight which usually corresponds to 400 kg / sm.

Such own weight per volume unit requires to implement an adequate supporting structure, with considerable increase in related costs and implementation time.

Another disadvantage due to the reinforced concrete prefabricated modules' high own weight is related to the difficulty in moving said modules, therefor suitable apparatuses (cranes and trucks with considerable sizes) are necessary involving a considerable and often too high utilization cost.

Still by referring to the solutions making use of prefabricated modules made of reinforced concrete, among the additional problems and disadvantages typical of these solutions, the dangers deriving from the implementation of stands of this type in areas with high seismic risk are to be mentioned.

Yet still, the modules made of prefabricated reinforced concrete involve additional problems when, on the stands' big steps implemented by means of said modules, additional apparatuses have to be fastened, such as seats, small chairs or the like.

In fact, the installation of the seats requires to perforate in advance the modules in predefined positions as well as the use of expansion or chemical stoppers for fastening the seats' supporting plates to the big steps; however, the precision required for defining the perforation sites involves a huge time waste with a corresponding increase in the involved costs.

However, these solutions offer neither required safety nor comfort and often they cannot be proposed due to their definitely rough aesthetical aspect.

Other solutions making use of steel and / or iron and / or similar metals had not allowed to overcome in a satisfactory way the drawbacks typical of the solutions made of reinforced concrete.

Several of these solutions show the same problems in terms of scarce motion easiness, excessive own weight, assembling difficulty and not satisfying final aspect.
