ROTATING INTERNAL SUPPORT APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR LARGE HOLLOW STRUCTURES

A rotating internal support (10) for a large hollow structure (18) can include a rigid central truss (12) and two or more annular disks (14) coupled to the truss by support arms (16). The annular disks (14) can be axially spaced along the longitudinal centerlme of the truss (12), and can be coupled...

Zusammenfassung:	A rotating internal support (10) for a large hollow structure (18) can include a rigid central truss (12) and two or more annular disks (14) coupled to the truss by support arms (16). The annular disks (14) can be axially spaced along the longitudinal centerlme of the truss (12), and can be coupled to the support arms (16) by guide rollers (20) that allow the annular disks (14) to rotate about a central axis. The internal support (10) can also include support rods (80) with contact pads (82) that extend axially around the annular disks (14) to contact and support the inner surface of the large hollow structure (18) . Support interne tournant (10) pour grande structure creuse (18) pouvant comprendre un support central rigide (12) et deux ou plusieurs disques annulaires (14) couplés au support par des bras-supports (16). Les disques annulaires (14) peuvent être espacés axialement le long du centre longitudinal du support (12) et peuvent être cpuplés aux bras-supports (16) par des rouleaux de guidage (20) permettant aux disques annulaires (14) de tourner autour d'un axe central. Le support interne (10) peut aussi inclure des tiges de support (80) dotées de tampons de contact (82) s'étendant axialement autour des disques annulaires (14) pour être en contact avec et soutenir la surface intérieure de la grande structure creuse (18).
