  • Patent number: 4831792
    Abstract: A structure, such as for a full-size stadium roof, which has a retractable central portion capable of opening up about one-half of the total roof area. Two retractable roof panels, rectangular in plan, cover an area that can be larger than a football field, and move in the direction of the main axis of the stadium.

  • Patent number: 4757650
    Abstract: A cable dome has lower and upper outer cables each connecting nodes of an edge ring which are spaced by two other nodes. The lower and upper cables connecting the same nodes are spaced from each other in elevation by a pair of outer struts each having an upper and a lower node. Each upper node in turn supports lower and upper inner cables, serving a function similar to that of a corresponding edge ring node.

  • Patent number: 4581860
    Abstract: Disclosed is a shelter structure using a saddle-shaped cable dome system for a large-span, lightweight roof membrane. The structure uses the curvatures of a saddle surface, combined with two orthogonal cable nets separated by a set of compression struts, to create an efficient structural system confined by an edge ring loaded primarily in compression.
