Abstract:
An insulation system for portable buildings preferably includes a plurality of support struts, a plurality of cross tube clamps and a ceiling sheet. The support strut is preferably a tube having a length, which is substantially equal to a distance between two adjacent rafters. Three support struts are attached to bottom support tubes of two adjacent rafters with two cross tube clamps. The three support struts may also be attached to vertical support tubes of two adjacent rafters with two in-line cross tube clamps. Opposing edges of the ceiling sheet are attached to the bottom support tubes or the vertical support tubes of the two adjacent rafters with at least two sheet clamps. An insulation retention member is placed adjacent a top of the ceiling sheet to prevent insulation from sliding down the ceiling sheet. Two adjacent insulation retention members may be secured to each other with a joining device.
Abstract:
A rotary joint includes an outer shell segment having the outer shape of a solid of revolution, the outer shell segment having a plurality of openings arranged in the outer surface; an inner shell segment having the outer shape of the solid of revolution of the outer shell segment, the inner shell segment being aligned concentrically with the outer shell segment and spaced apart from the outer shell segment by a compensation gap; and a plurality of strut holding fixtures, the strut holding fixtures having a hollow interior and a flange portion, wherein each of the strut holding fixtures is arranged in one of the plurality of openings and the flange portion extends within the compensation gap between the inner shell segment and the outer shell segment in each case.
