AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing space frame assemblies are labor-intensive to assemble and often require a large number of components, with platforms designed to handle maximum capacity but not evenly distribute load, leading to inefficiencies.

Method used

A modular space frame system using a limited number of interchangeable components, comprising elongate structural members, interconnection structures, and diagonal chords, allowing for easy assembly and adaptation to various sizes and configurations, with deck platforms secured to structural members to distribute load effectively.

Benefits of technology

The system enables efficient assembly and disassembly of space frames and work platforms, accommodating varying loads and sizes with reduced labor and component usage, enhancing flexibility and load distribution.

Abstract

A modular space frame support system comprises at least one unit comprising at least four elongate structural members joined together using at least four interconnection structures; a plurality of diagonal chords attached to the at least four interconnection structures and connected to a single common interconnection structure; a further elongate structural member connected to and secured to at least two elongate structural members; wherein the plurality of diagonal chords of a first of the at least one unit can each have a length less than the plurality of diagonal chords of a second of the at least one unit; wherein each of the at least four interconnection structures comprise a first element, a second element, and a tubular section; wherein the tubular section can have a threaded inner portion, a first outer portion, and a second outer portion that can engage a securing structure.
