Patent ID: 8863386

Claim:
A support structure, comprising a supporting wall, advantageously with a substantially parabolic profile, for solar plants of the concentration type, and able to support at least a thin and flexible reflection plate, able to reflect the sun's rays in order to concentrate them in correspondence with collectors to exploit the solar energy, and comprising clamping elements movable with respect to the supporting wall, and able to clamp said at least one reflection plate in cooperation with said supporting wall, said support structure comprising adjustment means constrained to the clamping elements and able to cooperate with relative elastic means constrained to the supporting wall, said elastic means being disposed and conformed with respect to the supporting wall so as to exert an action of traction on the adjustment means and on the clamping elements, so as to exert a desired action of deformation on the reflection plate, wherein the adjustment means comprise at least adjustment screw means cooperating with the elastic means which comprise a leaf spring elastic element, having opposite supporting ends with respect to the adjustment means, able to directly contact an internal portion of an edge of the supporting wall, wherein the internal portion of the supporting wall includes ridges or hollows to condition the widening of the leaf spring elastic element, and the opposite supporting ends directly contact the respective ridges or the respective hollows.
