Connectors comprise a hollow or extruded body, studs integrated structural reinforcement, and receiving sockets for fastening to adjacent connectors. Connectors are placed at one or more locations on prefabricated panels to couple pre-fabricated panels together in the construction of a building. Connectors may anchor structural reinforcement internal to each panel to assist in distributing forces through the structure of the building. A reinforcing mesh may at least partially wrap around the structural reinforcement of a panel.

Embodiments of this application relate to connectors configured for coupling to a hollow structure, for joining hollow structures together, and/or for joining a hollow structure to a functional element. A connector may be configured to couple to one or more hollow structures, and may be further configured to couple to one or more functional elements. Exemplary connectors comprise a shell and a plug.

Connecting assembly providing a connecting piece made of composite material having a base and a main wall, the base having holes to accept second fixing elements, at least two bearers each pierced with a through orifice and each intended to be associated with one of the second fixing elements. The bearers being positioned one on each side of the main wall. The main wall and the base being connected by extensions of curved shape one on each side of the main wall. The extensions each defining a bearer receiving zone. The holes for accepting second fixing elements being formed in part through the curved extensions.

Systems, methods, and articles of manufacture for modular junction boxes. Some modular junction boxes may, for example, comprise integral mating elements that are secured in position by mounting of one or more adapters, connectors, or fittings.

A coupler has a pole coupling portion and a lamp coupling portion, enabling a lamp to be coupled to a pole. A mating connection extends between the pole coupling portion and the lamp coupling, and includes segments extending away from each of the pole coupling portion and lamp coupling portion, where the segments nest. The pole coupling portion has a pole coupling body and an internally disposed affixed ring having a gap portion. A clip is connected to the pole and is positioned within gap to limit radial rotation of the pole coupling portion. The lamp coupling portion has passageways for the passage of wires from the pole coupling portion to a lighting module attached to the lamp coupling portion. The light can be radially positioned with respect to a longitudinal axis of the pole and radially rotated with respect to the pole coupling portion.

The invention relates to a locking device designed to lock objects to tubes or other elongated elements. The locking device generally comprises one or more lock plates and lock housings. In one exemplary embodiment, when assembling the locking device to a tube, two lock housings are put together with open sides against each other around a tube with a dimension corresponding to approximately half of a recess which is found on the lock housing's sides and are oriented in the tube's axial direction. The two lock housings form a closed geometry around the tube. Lock plates are used to connect the two lock housings together. By applying a screw in a threaded hole in one of the lock housings' cover, the through tube is pressed against an opposite lock housing at substantially the same time as the lock plates hold the lock housings together.

A kit of portable modular components for use in demountably configuring a variety of structural assemblies. The kit comprises three types of elongate structural support components wherein the first type has a pair of opposed male ends, the second type has a male end and an opposed female end, and the third type has a pair of opposed female ends, wherein the male ends are configured for demountable engagement with the female ends. Each of the male ends comprises a cylindrical body with at least one linear set of two spaced-apart prongs around the circumferential surface of the cylindrical body. Each of the female ends has a cylindrical receptacle with one or more linear channels for receiving therein the cylindrical body and the at least one linear set of prongs. The female ends are provided with locking assemblies for releasable engagement the male ends.

A connector assembly, having an upper connector coupled to a lower connector and a gusset plate sandwiched between the upper and lower connectors. Also, disclosed is a hoistable connector assembly, a lifting frame assembly, a coupling system for modular frame units, a method for assembling a module unit using the connector assembly, and a modular frame unit and building having the connector assembly.

Angled coupling including main pass-through coupler to allow first threaded rod to pass therethrough and second coupling extending at angle therefrom to receive second threaded rod. Angled coupling can be used for multiple purposes including, but not limited to, adjusting location of threaded rod, seismic restraints, storm surge restraints and/or providing additional mounting points for support members. Main coupler is configured to be secured to any location on first threaded rod without requiring it to be screwed onto first threaded rod. Main coupler may include first half and second half each traversing length thereof, that can be secured together at desired location on first threaded rod. Main coupler may include upper section having first approximately half of body thereof and corresponding threads and lower section having second approximately half of body (opposite first half) and corresponding threads. Angled coupling is made of high strength material (e.g., steel, cast iron, composites).
