Abstract
A construction system includes at least two building elements provided with one or more cylindrical holes and one or more connection pins having a first end, a second end and a longitudinal axis. The connection pins are configured to be detachably inserted into the holes and hereby connect two adjacent building elements. The connection pins are provided with a first notch extending along the longitudinal axis and a second notch extending along the longitudinal axis, wherein the first notch extends from the first end to a position between the first end and the second end, wherein the second notch extends from the second end to a position between the first end and the second end. The width of the connection pins is larger than the width of the cylindrical holes.
Claims20
A construction system comprising:
- a) at least two building elements provided with one or more cylindrical holes;
- and
- b) one or more connection pins having a first end, a second end and a longitudinal axis, wherein the connection pins are configured to be detachably inserted into the cylindrical holes and hereby connect two of the building elements, wherein the connection pins are provided with a first notch extending along the longitudinal axis and a second notch extending along the longitudinal axis, wherein the first notch extends from the first end to a first position between the first end and the second end, wherein the second notch extends from the second end to a second position between the first end and the second end,
- wherein a width of each of the connection pins is larger than a width of each of the cylindrical holes,
- wherein each of the connection pins has a cylindrical outer surface with:
- a) the width of each of the connection pins being 2-10% larger than the width of each of the cylindrical holes;
- b) the first notch and the second notch being plate-shaped and extending perpendicular to each other;
- and
- c) a depth of the first notch, the second notch or both the first notch and the second notch being greater than two thirds of a length of each of the connection pins.
A method for building a construction system comprising:
- a) at least two building elements provided with one or more cylindrical holes;
- and
- b) one or more connection pins having a first end, a second end and a longitudinal axis, wherein the connection pins are configured to be detachably inserted into the cylindrical holes and hereby connect two adjacent building elements, wherein the connection pins are provided with a first notch extending along the longitudinal axis and a second notch extending along the longitudinal axis, wherein the first notch extends from the first end to a first position between the first end and the second end, wherein the second notch extends from the second end to a second position between the first end and the second end,
- wherein the method comprises the steps of:
- inserting the first end of one of the connection pins into the cylindrical hole of a first building element of the at least two building elements;
- and
- inserting the second end of the one connection pin into the cylindrical hole of a second building element of the at least two building elements, thereby detachably attaching the first building element and the second building element, wherein a width of each of the connection pins is larger than a width of each of the cylindrical holes,
- wherein each of the connection pins has a cylindrical outer surface with:
- a) the width of each of the connection pins being 2-10% larger than the width of each of the cylindrical holes;
- b) the first notch and the second notch being plate-shaped and extending perpendicular to each other;
- and
- c) a depth of the first notch, the second notch or both the first notch and the second notch being greater than two thirds of a length of each of the connection pins.
