Air-supported structures
FIG. 1 is a side elevation view of air-supported structures combination showing my design and illustrating a cable net on the principal structure,
FIG. 2 is a plan view of the air-supported structures in FIG. 1,
FIG. 3 is a front elevation view of the air-supported structures in FIG. 1,
FIG. 4 is a rear elevation view of the principal air-_supported structure in FIG. 1,
FIGS. 5-11 inclusive, are transverse sectional views of the air-supported structure illustrating the sectional profile configuration of the air-supported structure at corresponding section lines in FIGS. 1 and 2.
The two air-structure are illustrated in an inflated condition and are each made of a suitable flexible plastic sheet or membrane. The elongated principal structure is symmetrical about a verticle plane of symmetry passing through its longitudinal axis and has the same configuration on opposite sides of the vertical plane of symmetry so that an elevation view of one side illustrate the opposite side in FIG. 1. The smaller structure is bubble-shaped and is joined to the main or principal structure through an enclosed passageway.
