The body is configured for attachment to the elongate structural element. The body defines a shoulder from which the rail is attached so that the rail is connected to the element. The bolt is engaged with the rail and is movable to engage the body. The body has a threaded passage to engage the bolt to fix the rail to the body.

The present subject matter relates to systems, assemblies, and methods for connecting structural members together. A connector assembly includes an elongated track having a web, opposed edge portions that extend from a first surface of the web and that form a pair of slide channels, and one or more protrusions protruding from a second surface of the web opposing the first surface, the one or more protrusions being configured to connect to the first building member. A connecting member is adapted to connect to the second building member and includes a base that retains the connecting member to the channels but is movable within the channels along the track. In this configuration, when the connector assembly is connected between the first and second building members, the connecting member is movable in the track in response to relative movement between the first and second building members.

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 structural assembly comprises a first extruded component having a length and a constant cross section. The cross section defines a first cavity and a second cavity separated by a wall of the first extruded component. An aperture extends through the wall between the first and second cavities. Second and third extruded components have respective lengths and constant cross sections. A first connector is positioned within the first cavity of the first extruded component and extends into the second extruded component. A second connector is positioned within the second cavity of the first extruded component and extends into the third extruded component. A fastener extends through the first connector, the aperture, and the second connector and is configured to secure the first and second connectors to the first extruded component.

The present invention concerns a construction system for a building module, whose main elements are made of plastic material, providing a robust construction in an easy and quick manner. The system includes a set of main beams (1) adapted to be assembled end-to-end to form an open structure in the shape of a 3-dimensional rectangular frame. The system further includes secondary beams (11), adapted to be assembled between parallel and opposite main beams, and flat facade elements (3) insertable against each other between two adjacent parallel beams. Each facade element (3) includes a rectangular flat plate provided with two folded opposite edges (3A) intended to be hooked with adjacent parallel beams. Each main beam has a rectangular cross-section including, on the four sides thereof, a projection (21) parallel to the side and spaced therefrom leaving an opening to receive a folded edge of a flat facade element. Each secondary beam (11) includes, on two opposite faces, at least one projection leaving an opening to receive a folded edge of a flat facade element (3).

The present invention has various types of horizontal bracing channels, longitudinal spacing-bracing channels, couplings, bracing clips, support channels, hole shapes within the support channels and orientation of the various elements that affect how wall panels are made. The structural insulating core includes the framing members and spacer blocks between the framing members that interlock together by having a structural insulating core of foam spacers with a tongue side and groove side interlocking the foam spacers between vertical metal support channels including the horizontal bracing channels, longitudinal spacing-bracing channels having notches, couplings and bracing clips connecting together.

A bracket is combined with a rail that is to be attached to an elongate structural element by the bracket. The bracket includes a body and a bolt. The body is configured for attachment to the elongate structural element. The body defines a shoulder from which the rail is attached so that the rail is connected to the element. The bolt is engaged with the rail and is movable to engage the body. The body has a threaded passage to engage the bolt to fix the rail to the body.

Methods for constructing and a building kit for use thereof are disclosed. The building kit includes a plurality of posts configured for embedding within square apertures of a foundation, wherein the posts have a cross-shaped cross-sectional shape, a plurality of cross-shaped cross-sectional shaped elongated members, and a plurality of enforcement joints configured to conform to the interior cross-sectional shape of the posts and the cross-shaped cross-sectional shaped elongated members.

There is disclosed an elongate structural element (10). The element (10) includes an inner plate (12) having first and second opposing planar surfaces (14, 16). The element (10) further includes first and second outer sections (18, 18). Each of the outer sections (18, 18) comprises a central wall (20) having a pair of longitudinal grooves (32, 34). Each of the outer sections (18, 18) further comprises a pair of side walls (22, 24) extending from the central wall (20) to define a generally U-shaped channel (30). The longitudinal grooves (32, 34) depress into the U-shaped channel (30). Each of the outer sections (18, 18) further comprises a pair of flanges (26, 28) respectively extending outwardly from the pair of side walls (22, 24). The flanges (26, 28) of the first outer section (18) are attached to the first planar surface (14) of the plate (12) and the flanges (26, 28) of the second outer section (18) are attached to the second planar surface (16) of the plate (12) such that the U-shaped channels (30) are substantially closed by the inner plate (12) and opposed to each other.

Split connector adapted to be used for interconnecting profile bars in a frame structure, where the split connector is cube shaped and comprises a first connecting element and a second connecting element, where the first connecting element comprises screw holes adapted for connecting the first connecting element to a split profile section, a profile bar, and to the second connecting element, where the second connecting element comprises screw holes adapted for connecting the second connecting element to a split profile section and a profile bar, and a first threaded hole adapted for receiving a screw when connecting the first connecting element to the second connecting element.
