Patent number: 7062811Abstract: A collapsible bridge has two track girders constructed as truss girders with a triangular cross-section. A chord profile is provided at each triangulation point and two corners of the triangular cross-section are situated at the same level with the third corner situated above the corner. A pair of truss planes are formed from diagonal struts, a lower chord and an upper chord, with lower and upper truss nodes respectively being formed at connection points of two diagonal struts and a lower chord and an upper chord respectively. The two track girders are force-lockingly connected by transverse girders. Roadway planks are provided which are aligned in the longitudinal direction of the bridge and are force-lockingly connected with the transverse girders.Type: GrantFiled: September 15, 2003Date of Patent: June 20, 2006Assignee: Eurobridge Mobile Bruecken GmbHInventors: Reinhold Fuessinger, Walter Steppacher

Patent number: 7017219Abstract: A dismountable bridge, having two track carriers which, viewed in the longitudinal direction of the bridge, are divided into several identical modules, in which case the two track carriers are each spanned by a vault and are suspended at the latter. The vaults are divided into several modules in the longitudinal direction of the bridge and are adapted in their modular division to the modular division of the track carriers. The vaults and the track carriers are equipped at their ends with end pieces. The modules of the vaults have mutually identical constructions and the end pieces of the vaults are connected in a torque-resistant manner with the end pieces of the respective track carriers. The end pieces are constructed such that they are capable of compensating the length differences between the track carriers and the vaults in the case of different bridge lengths.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2004Date of Patent: March 28, 2006Assignee: Eurobridge Mobile Bruecken GmbHInventors: Reinhold Fuessinger, Werner Duerr

Patent number: 6918152Abstract: A collapsible bridge and laying method for a collapsible bridge where bridge girders are pushed over an obstacle by way of a laying beam positioned in front of the obstacle to be bridged. Rollers and roller carriers carrying the rollers are fastened to the bridge girders, the rollers running in rails arranged on the laying beam. During the laying operation, the rollers with the pertaining roller carrier leaving the rail of the laying beam are removed from the bridge girder and are mounted again at a different point of the bridge girder which is momentarily situated in front of the entry into the rail of the laying beam. This process of using and removing the rollers from the bridge girder is repeated during laying of the bridge. The bridge girder can include a plurality of detachably connectible bridge girder sections.Type: GrantFiled: September 15, 2003Date of Patent: July 19, 2005Assignee: Eurobridge Mobile Bruecken GmbHInventors: Reinhold Fuessinger, Werner Duerr

Patent number: 5519909Abstract: A trough bridge is provided with a plane roadway and upward extending side walls. Top chords are arranged on the upper ends of the side walls. The bridge can be divided along the roadway into an arbitrary number of modules, the length of which may be adapted to the available transport length. The individual bridge modules may be nested in each other for transport such that a stack with a very small transport height results.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 1994Date of Patent: May 28, 1996Assignee: Dornier GmbHInventor: Reinhold Fuessinger
