Method and apparatus for building construction

Claim 1

A SUBSTANTIALLY FLEXIBLE MOLDING COMBINATION APPLICABLE FOR CONSTRUCTION FOF BLUIDINGS COMPRISING: A SUPPORTING MEMBRANE MADE OF A LAYER OF FLEXIBLE AND SUBSTANTIALLY INEXTENSIBLE FABRIC; A BASE; SAID MEMBRANE BEING CONNECTED TO SAID BASE BY ITS LOWER EDGES AND BEING ADAPTED TO BE INFLATED TO DEFINE A DESIRED CURVED SPACE; A PLURALITY OF SEPARATE DOUBLE LAYER MOLDING JACKETS CONSTITUTING VERTICAL WALLS AND AT LEAST ONE HORIZONTAL CEILING OF THE BUILDING POSITIONED WITHIN SAID SPACE, EACH OF SAID MOLDING JACKETS BEING MEDE OF TWO LAYERS OF FLEXIBLE AND SUBSTANTIALLY INEXTENSIBLE FABRIC INTERCONNECTED WITH A PLURALITY OF STRINGS; THE VERTICAL WALLS BEING APPROPRIATELY ATTACHED TO ONE ANOTHER AND BEING CONNECTED WITH THEIR BOTTOM ENDS TO THE BASE AND WITH THEIR TOP ENDS TO THE CEILING AND THE OBTAINED UPPER EDGES BEING TIGHTLY ATTACHED TO THE SUPPORTING MEMBRANE FOR PRODUCING WITHIN THE SPACE DEFINED THEREBY AN AIR TIGHT COMPARTMENT DELIMITED BY THE CEILING AND THE MEMBRANE ABOVE SAID CEILING AND AT LEAST ONE OTHER AIR TIGHT COMPARTMENT BELOW SAID CEILING; AND TUBE AND VALVE MEANS BETWEEN EACH COMPARTMENT IN THE DEFINED BY SAID MEMBRANE AND THE OUTSIDE ATMOSPHERE AND BETWEEN THE MOLDING JACKETS AND OUTSIDE ATMOSPHERE, REPSECTIVELY, BEING PROVIDED FOR INFLATING AND DEFLATING SAID COMPARTMENTS AND FOR INJECTING INTO SAID MOLDING JACKETS A PREMIXED MATERIAL CAPABLE OF SOLIDIFYING THEREIN.

Claim 3

A METHOD OF CONSTRUCTION A BUILING COMPRISING FORMING A SUBSTANTIALLY FLEXIBLE MOLDING COMBINATION HAVING A SUPPORTING MEMBRANE MADE OF A LAYER OF FLEXIBLE AND SUBSTANTIALLY INEXTENSIBLE FABRIC, A SOLID BASE, SAID MEMBRANE BEING CONNECTED TO SAID BASE BY ITS LOWER EDGES AND BEING ADAPTED TO BE INFLATED TO DEFINE A DESIRABLE CURVED SPACE, A PLURALITY OF SEPARATE DOUBLE LAYER JACKETS CONSTITUTING VERTICAL WALLS AND AT LEAST ONE HORIZONTAL CEILING OF THE BUILDING POSITIONED WITHIN SAID SPACE, EACH SAID MOLDING JACKETS MADE OF TWO LAYERS OF FLEXIBLE AND SUBSTANTIALLY INEXTENSIBLE FABRIC INTERCONNECTED WITH A PLURALITY OF STRINGS, THE VERTICAL WALLS BEING TIGHTLY ATTACHED TO ONE ANOTHER AND BEING CONNECTED WITH THEIR BOTTOM ENDS TO THE BASE AND WITH THEIR TOPS ENDS TO THE CEILING AND THE OBTAINED UPPER EDGES BEING ATTACHED IN AN AIR TIGHT MANNER TO THE SUPPORTING MEMBRAND FOR PRODUCING WITHIN THE SPACE DEFINED THEREBY AN AIR TIGHT COMPARTMENT DELIMITED BY THE CEILING AND THE MEMBRANE ABOVE SAID CEILING AND AT LEAST ONE OTHER AIR TIGHT COMPARTMENT BELOW SAID CEILING; INFLATING SAID COMPARTMENTS WITH COMPRESSED AIR TO THE POINT WHERE THE WALLS AND THE CEILING, SUPPORTED BY SAID INFLATED MEMBRANE, ARE IN THEIR REQUIRED ERECT POSTION; INJECTING ITTO THE MOLDING JACKETS, FORMING THE WALLS, A PREMIXED MATERIAL CAPABLE OF SOLIDIFYING THEREIN AND ALLOWING SAID MATERIAL TO SOLIDIFY; INJECTING INTO THE MOLDING JACKET FORMING THE CEILING A PREMIXING MATERIAL CAPABLE OF SOLIDIFYING THEREIN AND ALLOWING SAID MATERIAL TO SOLIDIFY WHILE ADJUSTING THE AIR PRESSURES BETWEEN THE UPPER AND THE LOWER COMPARTMENTS SO AS TO OBTAIN A SUBSTANTIALLY FLAT HORIZONTAL CEILING; EXHAUSTING THE COMPRESSED AIR FROM THE COMPARTAMENT; AND REMOVING THE SUPPORTING MEMBRANE; WHEREBY A SOLID BUILDING OF DESIRED FORM IS OBTAINED.

Claim 4

A METHOD OF CONSTRUCTION A BUILING COMPRISING FORMING A SUBSTANTIALLY FLEXIBLE MOLDING COMBINATION HAVING A SUPPORTING MEMBRANE MADE OF A LAYER OF FLEXIBLE AND SUBSTANTIALLY INEXTENSIBLE FABRIC, A SOLID BASE, SAID MEMBRANE BEING CONNECTED TO SAID BASE BY ITS LOWER EDGES AND BEING ADAPTED TO BE INFLATED TO DEFINE A DESIRABLE CURVED SPACE, A PLURALITY OF SEPARATE DOUBLE LAYER JACKETS CONSTITUTING VERTICAL WALLS AND AT LEAST ONE HORIZONTAL CEILING OF THE BUILDING POSITIONED WITHIN SAID SPACE, EACH SAID MOLDING JACKETS MADE OF TWO LAYERS OF FLEXIBLE AND SUBSTANTIALLY INEXTENSIBLE FABRIC INTERCONNECTED WITH A PLURALITY OF STRINGS, THE VERTICAL WALLS BEING TIGHTLY ATTACHED TO ONE ANOTHER AND BEING CONNECTED WITH THEIR BOTTOM ENDS TO THE BASE AND WITH THEIR TOPS ENDS TO THE CEILING AND THE OBTAINED UPPER EDGES BEING ATTACHED IN AN AIR TIGHT MANNER TO THE SUPPORTING MEMBRAND FOR PRODUCING WITHIN THE SPACE DEFINED THEREBY AN AIR TIGHT COMPARTMENT DELIMITED BY THE CEILING AND THE MEMBRANE ABOVE SAID CEILING AND AT LEAST ONE OTHER AIR TIGHT COMPARTMENT BELOW SAID CEILING; INFLATING SAID COMPARTMENTS WITH COMPRESSED AIR TO THE POINT WHERE THE WALLS AND THE CEILING, SUPPORTED BY SAID INFLATED MEMBRANE, ARE IN THEIR REQUIRED ERECT POSTION; INJECTING ITTO THE MOLDING JACKETS, FORMING THE WALLS, A PREMIXED MATERIAL CAPABLE OF SOLIDIFYING THEREIN AND ALLOWING SAID MATERIAL TO SOLIDIFY; INJECTING INTO THE MOLDING JACKET FORMING THE CEILING A PREMIXING MATERIAL CAPABLE OF SOLIDIFYING THEREIN AND ALLOWING SAID MATERIAL TO SOLIDIFY WHILE ADJUSTING THE AIR PRESSURES BETWEEN THE UPPER AND THE LOWER COMPARTMENTS SO AS TO OBTAIN A SUBSTANTIALLY FLAT HORIZONTAL CEILING; EXHAUSTING THE COMPRESSED AIR FROM THE COMPARTAMENT; AND REMOVING THE SUPPORTING MEMBRANE; WHEREBY A SOLID BUILDING OF DESIRED FORM IS OBTAINED.
