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).

A subarchitectural office system including a first subarchitectural wall, a second subarchitectural wall, and a single arch extending between the first and second subarchitectural walls. The single arch including a first vertical post, a second vertical post, and a first overhead beam. The subarchitectural office system also includes a double arch extending between the first and second subarchitectural walls. The double arch includes a third vertical post, a fourth vertical post, a fifth vertical post, a second overhead beam, and a third overhead beam.

An interconnect system for coupling first and second frame members includes female and male interconnect members. The female interconnect is secured to the first frame member and has defined therein a receptacle. The male interconnect member is secured to the second frame member and defines a protrusion configured for selective axial insertion into, and mating engagement with, the receptacle. The receptacle extends axially between a receptacle opening through which the protrusion is axially received and a receptacle rear wall at which the receptacle terminates. The protrusion terminates at a protrusion tip. The receptacle and protrusion are furthermore configured such that at least one of (a) the receptacle and the protrusion are complementarily keyed in order to prevent relative rotational displacement of the male and female interconnect members when they are in mutual mating engagement, and (b) the protrusion tip is magnetically attracted toward the receptacle rear wall.

A rotatable connector for use with a truss in accordance with the present disclosure includes a sleeve and a connector end coupled to the sleeve. The sleeve engages with the truss in a fixed orientation. The connector end rotates relative to the truss to allow attachment with another connector of an adjacent truss in a variety of orientations.

This invention is to provide structural member joints capable of easily reinforcing connecting portions of structural members and a structure using the structural member joints. Each structural member joint includes three tubular joint members into which end portions of the structural members 7 can be inserted and fixed. The three tubular joint members are connected to each other at their proximal end portions and disposed at right angles to each other. Since the distal end portions of the joint members 2 arranged at right angles to each other are connected by the reinforcing members 6, it is possible to use the reinforcing members 6 to easily reinforce the connecting portions of the structural members 7.

A support assembly for providing a high degree of lateral strength and integrity is presented herein. The support assembly includes a beam support bracket having a body and at least one elongated support member that is slidingly engaged with a corresponding lateral beam. The elongated support member of the beam support bracket is defined by spaced apart first and second support plates each including oppositely disposed edges which will mate with corresponding ledges, protrusions or reinforced corners within the lateral beam and bracket body.

A structure with hollow or partially hollow structural elements for shade structures, such as gazebos, sunshades, beach umbrellas or covering structures in general, or adapted to be used for furniture, includes a plurality of hollow or partially hollow structural elements and a system of joints configured to join the structural elements to one another.

A subarchitectural office system including a subarchitectural wall having a top edge, a bottom edge, a first side edge, and a second side edge opposite the first side edge. The subarchitectural office system also includes a first arch adjacent the first side edge of the subarchitectural wall and a second arch adjacent the second side edge of the subarchitectural wall. The first and second arches both include a first vertical post adjacent the respective side edge of the subarchitectural wall, an overhead beam with a first end and a second end opposite the first end. The first end of the overhead beam is coupled to the first vertical post and the overhead beam extends outwardly from the first vertical post. The first and second arches also include a second vertical post positioned away from the subarchitectural wall and coupled to the second end of the overhead beam.

A building assembly includes a floor frame, a roof, and walls extending between the floor frame and the roof and interconnected to define an interior and exterior of the building assembly. Each wall includes panels each defining an axis and having first and second ends, inner and outer sides, top and bottom surfaces, an upper notch formed through the top surface, and a lower notch formed through the bottom surface. Each notch is spaced inwardly along the axis from at least one end. The panels include first and second panels. The lower notch of the first panel mates with the upper notch of the second panel to form an interlocking joint to interconnect the first and second panels and form adjacent interconnected walls of the building assembly.

A connection for a subarchitectural workspace includes a first structure with a first end and a second end opposite the first end and a second structure with a first end and a second end opposite the first end. The connection assembly further includes a first bracket with a first fine adjustment surface mounted to the first structure, a second bracket with a second fine adjustment surface that engages the first fine adjustment surface, and a clamping mechanism that applies a clamping force to the first and second fine adjustment surfaces to pull the first and second structures together.
