A mounting assembly (150) for supporting objects, the mounting assembly (150) comprising: at least two adjacent mounting panels (100), each of the mounting panels (100) having a first front surface (102), a second rear surface (104) and a peripheral edge extending between the first front surface (102) and the second rear surface (104); at least one recess (106) provided by the peripheral edge of each of the mounting panels (100), the at least one recess (106) of each of the mounting panels extending from the first front surface (102) towards the second rear surface (104); at least one aperture (108) in the first front surface (102) of each of the mounting panels (100); at least one key (114); and at least one mounting support (326) receivable in the at least one aperture (108) of either of the mounting panels (100), the at least one mounting support (326) configured to support one or more objects. The recesses (106) of the adjacent mounting panels (100) align to form a keyhole (115) and the key (114) is inserted into the keyhole (115) in a direction generally perpendicular to the first front surface (102) thereby interlocking the adjacent mounting panels (100) together.

A pair of connectable box carcass framework members for the fabrication of non-panel constructed furniture carcasses. They simplify the construction of a furniture carcass with a minimal of tools and skill required to produce a dimensionally square, precisely sized, box that accepts an abundance of aesthetic and functional options. They are based on a pair of mechanical fastener connectable vertical and horizontal members that have connectable zipper channels, linear rabbets for the retention of side panels, screw busses, and open channels with series of spaced orifices therein for the passage of mechanical connectors.

An element with an insertion groove and a dismantling groove. A method for providing a dismantling groove in an element for a product to be assembled by a plurality of elements locked by a locking arrangement including a flexible tongue. The method includes providing an insertion groove and a dismantling groove in the same element. The dismantling groove extends along the element between a first side and a second side and is configured for receiving the flexible tongue of the locking arrangement for locking the element to another element having a tongue groove. The dismantling groove is provided in the element such that it extends from the first side to the insertion groove and along a portion of the insertion groove, and is configured to receive a dismantling tool for dismantling the element from the other element.

A coupling device for coupling modules with each other, comprising: a coupling surface, a primary coupling member and at least two secondary coupling members. The primary coupling member is disposed on the coupling surface. A coupling axis disposed parallel to a direction of action of earth's gravitational acceleration extends through the primary coupling member. The at least two secondary coupling members are configured to be complementary to each other and are disposed on the coupling face, and respectively have a predetermined distance from the coupling axis.

This application teaches the construction of an above ground pool with minimal labor and time. The actual construction can be accomplished by one person. Through use of a series of interlocking panels, and rods to secure the panels in place the construction of a pool can be accomplished. Additionally the use of an outer skin provides both an aesthetic compliment as well as additional integrity to the structure of the pool.

A device for connecting two construction components (10, 12) that are have engagement structures (16) on two connection surfaces (14) that are facing each other, in which the components (10, 12) have at least two pairs of oppositely disposed circular arc-shaped engagement structures (16) each of which extends over an angle of not more than 180 and has at least one open end, the engagement structures being arranged such that the center of the circular arc of the engagement structure of one pair is different from the center of the circular arc of the engagement structure of each other pair, and at least two connectors (22) are provided, each of which has engagement structures (24) complementary to the engagement structures (16) of one pair and adapted to be inserted in a rotary movement into the two engagement structures (16) from the open end.

The invention relates to a connector for two workpieces, comprising two fittings which each have a mounting face for a workpiece and an opposite connecting face, on which they can be hooked into one another in a hooking direction extending in parallel with the connecting face. Each fitting comprises, on its connecting face, a shoulder which extends transversely to the hooking direction over its entire width and comprises an undercut, which leaves a ridge on the shoulder. The end face of each fitting remote from the shoulder and adjacent to the connecting face has a lip adjacent to the connecting face and extending over its entire width transversely to the hooking direction. The lip of each fitting engages in the undercut in the respective other fitting in a first position of the fittings in which they are hooked into one another.
