Tiltable Segment Support Profile for Dome Board Attachment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for attaching building boards to frames in domes and uneven sections of buildings are unreliable and lack static verification, making them unsuitable for reliable and standard-compliant installation.
Innovation Solution
A carrier profile composed of multiple segments that can tilt relative to each other, allowing for a statically verifiable attachment of building boards to frames, with segments designed to accommodate frames securely and adapt to various shapes, featuring tilting axes defined by segment attachment surfaces and incorporating fastening bores for secure screw connections.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If building boards are attached to frames using staples in dome and uneven section construction, then the construction process is simple, but the fastening reliability is low and structural verification is not possible
Solution Approach 1:
The support profile is divided into multiple segments that can be tilted relative to each other about a tilting axis. This segmentation allows the attachment system to adapt to curved surfaces while maintaining rigid, verifiable connection points for structural analysis
Solution Approach 2:
The support profile acts as an intermediary component between the frame and building boards. It provides a rigid attachment interface that enables structural verification while adapting to the curved geometry of domes and uneven sections
2Reliability
If rigid support profiles are used for structurally verifiable attachment, then fastening reliability improves, but adaptability to different shapes decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The support profile incorporates movable segments that can tilt relative to each other, transforming a rigid structure into a dynamic system that adapts to curved surfaces while maintaining rigid connection points for structural verification
3Reliability
If multiple rigid segments are used to ensure structural stability, then attachment reliability improves, but ease of operation decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The tiltable segments enable the support profile to adapt to curved surfaces through controlled movement, making installation on domes and uneven sections feasible while maintaining rigid, reliable connections

AI summary
The profile (12) has a set of segments (17) provided with segment fastening surfaces and arranged one behind the other. The segments are integrally connected with each other and tilt against each other around a tilting axis. The tilting axis lies in a plane that is specified by the segment fastening surfaces of two of the segments. A gap-shaped recess and/or a V-shaped recess are formed between the segment fastening surfaces of the segments. A fastening device i.e. mounting hole, is formed in segment side surfaces of the segments for fixing the profile in a frame (11).
