Abstract

A frame structure using a tube subjected to bending processing by a pushing bending apparatus is provided to solve the problem of a simple body constituting the small-sized interior space. The frame structure forms a plane of frames by bundling a plurality of tubes or bars, each of which is bent to form a waveform of a constant amplitude around a linear axis in a same plane, to contact maximum amplitude portions of the tubes or bars each other, each maximum amplitude portion being in the same position in the longitudinal direction.

Claims (15)

1. A frame structure forming a surface, the frame structure comprising:

a plurality of elongated members, wherein,

each of the elongated members have a waveform shape of a constant amplitude about a linear axis,

each of the elongated members are bundled with another of the elongated members at a maximum and minimum of the waveforms of the bundled elongated members,

a plurality of the bundled maximum and minimums are on a line perpendicular with each linear axis, and

the plurality of elongated members include,

first elongated members bent along a first plane wave about a first linear axis and bent along a second plane wave about a second linear axis perpendicular to a bending direction of the first plane wave, and

second elongated members bent along a second plane wave symmetrical to the first plane wave with regard to the first linear axis and bent along a third plane wave about a third linear axis perpendicular to a bending direction of the first plane wave, wherein one the first elongated members is faced, contacted, and coupled with one of the second elongated members at a maximum and minimum of the waveforms of the first and second elongated members.

2. The frame structure of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of elongated members further include,

third elongated members bent along the first plane wave about a third linear axis and bent to form an arc perpendicular to a bending orientation of the first plane wave for at least a portion of the third elongated members, and

fourth elongated members bent along a fourth plane wave symmetrical to the first plane wave with regard to the first linear axis and bent to form an arc perpendicular to the bending orientation of the first plane wave for a at least a portion of the fourth elongated members, wherein one the third elongated members is faced, contacted and coupled with one of the fourth elongated members at a maximum and minimum of the waveforms of the third and fourth elongated members.

3. The frame structure of claim 2 , wherein the third and the fourth elongated members are bent along a third plane wave periodical with an arc central plane, to overlap an arc bending processing.

4. The frame structure of claim 3 , wherein all of the plane waves form a trapezoidal waveform having an inclined section with a crossing angle of +/−60 degrees with respect to a corresponding linear axis to continuously alternate in a same length.

5. The frame structure of claim 1 , wherein the first plane wave is a sinusoidal waveform.

6. The frame structure of claim 1 , wherein end planes of the elongated members are aligned along two planes both perpendicular to the first linear axis, and wherein the end planes coincide on the two planes.
