<p>This degree project has been performed along with Classic Garden in Gothenburg and</p><p>Ballongfirman Far & Flyg in Stockholm. Together we have developed a sun- wind- and</p><p>rain protection. The protection is permanently assembled and mainly intended for public</p><p>environments as restaurants and outdoor cafés.</p><p>The design on the sun protection was already done so our task has been to develop the</p><p>construction and to build a prototype in scale 1:4 and one in scale 1:1. The look of the</p><p>sun protection is approximately as the name implies, equal an igloo. The lamellae are</p><p>going to fold out in different steps all the way down to the ground and the both sides will</p><p>be independently of each other.</p><p>The first stage in the project was to develop differently principle proposal on how the</p><p>function will work when folding in and out the protection. The proposals were graded</p><p>against the specification of requirements and compared with each other. The best</p><p>proposal became a construction with two round plates, one permanent and one mobile. In</p><p>the plates there will be tracks in different lengths where a sprint will be able to slide and</p><p>in this way fold out the sun protection in a certain number of stages.</p><p>In order to see if the proposal worked as intended was a testing prototype done and the</p><p>result became successful.</p><p>In stage two was a prototype in scale 1:4 built to study how the fabric and the lamellas</p><p>behave. On the prototype were a number of different experiments and tests done just to</p><p>get the function working as good as possible.</p><p>During the phase primary structure were blueprints to all unique parts developed and</p><p>choices of components were done. Calculations on critical situations have been</p><p>performed and dimensioned after.</p><p>The third and last stage was to build a prototype in full scale. Most of the unique parts</p><p>were ordered from a row of different companies, while the others we produced ourselves</p><p>in the school's workshop. The readymade components was bought in and assembled.</p><p>The assembly went well but certain improvements were needed to be done meanwhile.</p><p>The project resulted in an operational prototype and a complete series with blueprints in</p><p>order to be able to produce the sun protection. In the conclusion were proposals to</p><p>improvements and advantages and disadvantages with the select structure discussed.</p>
