Method and module system for building a wall structure
A method and a module system for building purposes by using a module system is provided, said module system including a plurality of mutually equal-sized basic components, which are assembled for a wall structure in one or more vertical planes by installing the same in connection with each other side by side and on top of each other. The wall structure is put together from substantially thin-walled basic components, which are open at ends thereof opposite in a lengthwise direction thereof and have an open internal space, and which are coupled to each other side by side and on top of each other with connection pieces capable of being connected with a first form locking joint to lengthwise coupling arrangements present on each external side thereof. The basic components are coupled to each other with an end block interconnecting the basic components by the opposite ends thereof.
MODULAR FRAMING STRUCTURE DESIGN AND A METHOD OF USING THE SAME
A modular structure system of detachable members, the system includes a support pillar and various connectors. The support pillar has a main body and a plurality of channel walls outwardly radiating from an outside surface of the main body. The channel walls are disposed lengthwise on the main body from one terminal end of the main body to another terminal end of the main body. The support pillar has a symmetrical cross-sectional shape and each of the channel walls has an expanded distal end forming two lips.
RECTANGULAR EXTRUSION CONNECTOR
The coupler adaptor mounts on a rectangular extrusion vertical end to allow one or more accessory connections to be affixed to the vertical rectangular extrusion. A further object is to allow multiple horizontal rods to be mounted in parallel from a single vertical rectangular extrusion. The coupler adaptor clamps onto the vertically configured rectangular extrusion via a stable clamp and a slidable clamp. The slidable clamp and the stable clamp are pulled together along the length of the coupler adaptor body via the screw tightener. The channel openings and the channel walls are mated with the grooves on the rectangular extrusion creating a clamped, friction mating with the rectangular extrusion such that the coupler adaptor is securely fastened to the rectangular extrusion.
END BRACKETS
An end bracket for a wall system includes a body member having attachment structure to join a horizontal strut to a vertical strut. The end bracket further includes attachment structure in which the horizontal strut is slidably attached for moving and positioning the horizontal strut relative to the vertical strut in forming the wall system.
CONSTRUCTION SYSTEM FOR A MODULE OF A BUILDING
The invention proposes a system for constructing a module of a building, including core construction elements (1) that are surrounded by the surrounding construction elements (2A, 2B). The core construction elements (1) each include, in section, a cross including two main arms (6) of equal length which intersect at mid-length at right angle. Each core construction element (1) has a plane of symmetry about the axes of the arms. The main arms (6) of the cross terminate, at the ends thereof, with transverse portions (7). Each surrounding construction element (2A, 2B) is composed of four partial surrounding parts (2A, 2B, 2A′, 2B′) of a generally triangular shape which are assembled around a core element (1). Construction elements forming junction parts (4A, 4B) allow assembling panels (4A, 4B) to form a module of a building in the form of a rectangular parallelepiped volume comprising four corners.
A LOCKING ASSEMBLY FOR SECURING ONE OR MORE BUILDING ELEMENTS IN A BUILDING SYSTEM
A locking assembly (100) for securing one or more building elements in a building system is disclosed herein. The locking assembly (100) comprises: a first component (110) adapted for engagement to the building system, the first component (110) including a first locking portion (112) defining a first surface profile; a second component (120) including a second locking portion (122) defining a second surface profile corresponding to the first surface profile of the first locking portion (112), the second locking portion (122) being adapted for engagement with the first locking portion (112); and a third component (130) having a first end and a second end, the first end being adapted for engagement with the second locking portion (122) of the second component (120), wherein the third component (130) is resiliently deformable from a locked configuration to an unlocked configuration under application of force to the third component (130), wherein in the locked configuration, the second locking portion (122) is engaged to the first locking portion (112) so as to secure the first component (110) to the second component (120), and in the unlocked configuration, the second locking portion (122) is disengaged from the first locking portion (112).
Rail Profile with Attachment Mechanism and Related Methods
A profile system (1) for fastening objects to a room wall provided with a plate covering comprises at least one elongated rail profile (2), which extends in a longitudinal direction (L) and has a constant cross-section, and at least one plug element (3), which is designed to be fastened directly and detachably to the rail profile (2) in a plug-in manner. The rail profile (2), viewed in cross-section, has a substantially rectangular base section (6), whose depth (T) is adapted to the thickness of the plate covering and which is provided on its front side with a receiving groove (7) extending in the longitudinal direction (L) with a groove opening (9) accessible from the outside, and at least one fastening leg (13) which adjoins the rear side of the base section (6) substantially flush and projects outwards from the base section (6).
CONSTRUCTION SYSTEM FOR A BUILDING MODULE
The present invention concerns a construction system for a building module, whose main elements are made of plastic material, providing a robust construction in an easy and quick manner. The system includes a set of main beams (1) adapted to be assembled end-to-end to form an open structure in the shape of a 3-dimensional rectangular frame. The system further includes secondary beams (11), adapted to be assembled between parallel and opposite main beams, and flat facade elements (3) insertable against each other between two adjacent parallel beams. Each facade element (3) includes a rectangular flat plate provided with two folded opposite edges (3A) intended to be hooked with adjacent parallel beams. Each main beam has a rectangular cross-section including, on the four sides thereof, a projection (21) parallel to the side and spaced therefrom leaving an opening to receive a folded edge of a flat facade element. Each secondary beam (11) includes, on two opposite faces, at least one projection leaving an opening to receive a folded edge of a flat facade element (3).
Mounting unit, assembly frame using the same, and method of manufacturing the same
A mounting unit includes: a bottom portion having first and second surfaces; a cylinder portion centrally disposed at the bottom portion, protruding from the first or second surface, and having a first screw hole; two abutting walls disposed at edges of the bottom portion edge and extending toward the first surface; two lugs disposed at edges of the bottom portion and extending toward the second surface to connect to different sides thereof, respectively. The lugs each have a second screw hole. An assembly frame using the mounting unit includes: a frame having a T-shaped slot insertable by the lugs; at least a second screwing element and second screw holes of the lugs couple together the mounting unit and the frame; and a screw coupled to the first screw hole of the cylinder portion of the mounting unit. A method of manufacturing a mounting unit is further provided.
Modular assembly shelter kits and methods
In one embodiment, a modular assembly shelter kit is provided for rapid deployment in a remote location. The shelter kit includes headers, footers, upper horizontal beams, lower horizontal beams, roof, floor, and wall panels, and vertical support columns. The horizontal beams have notched hooks which form cross joints when engaged with notched hooks of adjacent horizontal beams. The cross joints can be placed against the headers or footers, and caged into position by prongs of the vertical support columns. The horizontal beams can also include grooves for holding interior and exterior wall panels, and interior ledges for holding roof and floor panels. Unique geometrically designed components deployed military or humanitarian responders with the ability to quickly manufacture and install such shelters in a wide variety of environments.
