A modular frame comprising a connector (3), a first frame member (1, 2) and a second frame member (1, 2), wherein the first frame member (1, 2) comprises one or more engagement members (5, 7) profiled to key with a first slot (6) on the connector (3) and a second slot (8) on the second frame member (1, 2).

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).

A modular frame assembly is disclosed. The assembly includes a plurality of supports, and at least one connector for interconnecting the supports. The connector includes a base, a plurality of legs extending outwardly from the base, each leg defining a socket having an exterior surface that has a generally constant profile throughout the length of the leg, and a member that is movable between an engaged position in which it projects interiorly of the leg, and a disengaged position in which it is flush with the exterior surface, the member being biased to the disengaged position. Additional components, such as shelf supports, mounting brackets, shelf brackets, and risers, can be included in the assembly. The modular nature of the assembly allows for a wide arrangement of structures to be created.

The present invention provides a corner connector for use in forming transport, storage and display containers and a transport, storage and display container system of stacking compartments that can be interconnected and formed into multiple orientations according to the user's needs.

A modular shelving system with a series of shelves, shelf-support brackets, bracket attachment disks, and hinge-pins. The support brackets are hingable. The support disks each include a series of apertures for allowing the disk to be fastened to a wall or stud. The shelf support brackets include shelf-receiving slots. The hinge-pin is threaded to be screwed into the bracket-receiving disks. The shelves are inserted into the shelf-receiving slots in the shelf-support brackets to create a custom multipurpose shelf design, including for climbing animals such as cats.

A portable cooler is provided that includes a base that supports a refrigeration unit. The base also supports a plurality of upwardly-extending support poles that accommodate a top portion. The support poles, top portion, and base define a food storage volume that is surrounded by a plurality of insulative walls.

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 modular furniture assembly a first strut assembly, a second strut assembly, and a connector. The first strut assembly includes a first strut, a first strut end fitting, and a first locking member. The second strut assembly includes a second strut, a second strut end fitting, and a second locking member. The connector includes a first receptacle and a second receptacle. The first receptacle is configured to accommodate protruding portions of the first strut end fitting. The second receptacle is configured to accommodate protruding portions of the second strut end fitting. The first locking member is configured to interface with the first strut end fitting and couple with the connector to secure the first strut to the connector. The second locking member is configured to interface with the second strut end fitting and couple with the connector to secure the second strut to the connector.

A fixing element for orienting vertically stacked cuboid containers has first and second vertical sidewalls and a connecting element wherein the first sidewalls form a right angle with each other and the second sidewalls face the outer sides of the first sidewalls. The fixing element can be form fittingly fastened on the corners of a container, wherein a further container is arranged on the fixing element and is fixed in its horizontal position relative to the first container. The fixing element can be easily released again and reused. An embodiment is disclosed with a connecting element as spacer whereby a spacing of two containers is achieved. When two containers are thus stacked with their upper open sides facing each other a third container can be accommodated therein.
