Structural beams for a building structure that can be folded, to permit the creation of a compact building structure shipping module. The structural beams also can be unfolded and locked in the unfolded position to provide a rigid structure for resisting vertical loads and transferring them to lower levels and ultimately the building foundation.

The present invention provides a construction set suitable for creating a variety of structures and includes a plurality of elements. A modular construction system includes hubs which are embodied as solid-surfaced hexahedrons having at least one flanged protrusion on at least two faces of each hexahedron. Adjacent structural bodies in the modular construction system may be connected to as few as one face of a hub, or to as many as all six faces, by means of attachable connector elements. The hexahedron at the core of the hub may be of the same or larger dimensions relative to the cross-section of the framing materials (e.g., lumber, tubing, composites, metals, extruded members) it connects.

A docking mechanism, an elevator shaft module, and an elevator system. The elevator shaft module and elevator system includes the docking mechanism. The docking mechanism includes a first docking element having a first adjusting element; and a second docking element having a second adjusting element, the first docking element is adapted to dock the second docking element in an adjustable manner, and the first adjusting element is adapted to engage the second docking element, such that a docking position between the first docking element and the second docking element is changeable by adjusting one of the first adjusting element and the second adjusting element.

The present disclosure provides a Tetris house in which a structural material and an insulating material are combined with each other to further save a space, and an exterior of the structural material is treated with neoprene to block a heat bridge between an inside and an outside and prevent condensation. The Tetris house includes a plurality of structural materials which are installed in regions corresponding to respective sides of a hexahedron, and a connector which is installed in a region corresponding to each corner of the hexahedron to connect adjacent structural materials to each other, in which the structural material includes a metal pipe, a first insulating material with which an inside of the metal pile is filled, and a second insulating material which surrounds an outside of the metal pipe.

The present invention provides a system which allows users to mount multiple pieces of equipment to a tower and it has the unique capability to adjust a steel frame to level without additional equipment. In accordance with a first preferred embodiment, the present invention includes a duel locking system that includes a taper adjusting bolt to adjustably position the frame level with the earth. According to still further aspects of the present invention, the present invention further includes attachable wall section elements which include at least upper and lower lateral spanning elements having first and securing weldments which preferably may integrally connect to the adjustable frame elements of the present invention. According to still further aspects of the present invention, the present invention preferably further includes upper and lower weldment connecting plates which are preferably connected to and extend from the upper and lower lateral spanning elements.

A self-locking connection system for modular construction (e.g., MiC and PPVC) is provided for interlocking an upper module column to a lower module column. A horizontal load transfer plate has first and second inner sleeve portions positioned beneath and above the plate. The sleeves are configured and dimensioned to be received within the respective module columns. Spring-loaded latches in both sleeve portions engage respective column receiving apertures. Each latch may include a latch plate having a wedge-shaped latch protrusion connecting to a vertical latch surface. The latch plate has one or more latch plate apertures for receiving a rod within a coil spring. An optional second reversible self-locking mechanism interlocks the connected modules to a building load-bearing support such as a core wall. The second self-locking mechanism includes an angled protrusion extending from the horizontal load transfer plate to mate with a protrusion-receiving structure embedded in the load-bearing support.

A connection device for a frame, the connection device comprising a body comprising: a first engagement member (1) and a second engagement member (2). Said body comprises a sealing flange (13) which is configured to extend in parallel alignment with a first flange (7) of a first beam (4) and with a second flange of a second beam when the first and second beams are connected to the connection device via the first and second engagement members (1, 2) respectively, and which sealing flange (13) comprises a first recess (14) configured for receiving the first flange (7) of the of first beam (4) when the first beam (4) is connected to the connection device via the first engagement member (1), and a second recess (15) configured for receiving the second flange of the second beam when the second beam is connected to the connection device via the second engagement member (2).

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.
