Abstract
A connector system and method comprising a coupling with 3 walls defining a cavity. Disposed on the first side wall and second side wall are lips protruding into the cavity, such that a grooved board inserted into the cavity is in contact with the lips and back wall. Disposed on the walls are mounting holes, such that other apparatuses may be mounted to the mounting holes. The couplings may be mounted on other identical couplings or on couplings of different heights.
Claims21
A system comprising:
- an article comprising:
- one or more coupling comprising a first side wall, a back wall integrally molded to the first side wall, and a second side wall integrally molded to the back wall, wherein the first side wall and second side wall are substantially parallel, each of said first side wall and second side wall including a lip protruding inwardly,
- wherein the first side wall, back wall, and second side wall define a cavity,
- wherein a plurality of sets of mounting holes are disposed along at least two of the first side wall, back wall, and second side wall, and wherein each set of mounting holes of the plurality of sets of mounting holes is equidistant from a first end of the one or more coupling;
- and
- at least one board disposed in the cavity between the lip of the one or more coupling, wherein the board has at least one groove on each side, and wherein the lips of the first and second side walls of the one or more coupling protrude inwardly to engage and secure the board within the one or more coupling.
3 more elements
A method comprising:
- disposing a board within a cavity of a first coupling of a plurality of coupling, the first coupling including a first side wall, a back wall integrally molded to the first side wall, and a second side wall integrally molded to the back wall, wherein the first side wall and second side wall are substantially parallel, said first side wall and second side wall including a lip protruding inwardly,
- wherein the first side wall, back wall, and second side wall define the cavity, wherein at least two of the first side wall, back wall, and second side wall include a plurality of mounting holes, and wherein each set of mounting holes of the plurality of mounting holes is equidistant from a first end of the first coupling;
- and
- mounting a second coupling of the plurality of coupling to the first coupling, wherein the second coupling comprises a first side wall, a back wall integrally molded to the first side wall, and a second side wall integrally molded to the back wall, wherein the first side wall and second side wall of the second coupling are substantially parallel, each of said first side wall and second side wall of the second coupling including a lip protruding inwardly, wherein the first side wall, back wall, and second side wall of the second coupling define a cavity within the second coupling, wherein one or more mounting holes of the first coupling align with one or more mounting holes of the second coupling,
- wherein the board is disposed in the cavity between the lips of the first or second coupling, wherein the board has at least one groove on each side, and wherein the lips of the first and second side walls of the first or second coupling protrude inwardly to engage and secure the board within the first or second coupling.
2 more elements
