Abstract
Modular framework substructures with interlocking features are disclosed, along with related system and methods. The substructures include a housing made at least substantially of a polymer and defining a central void, secondary voids extending on a first and second side of the central void, and recessed channels provided in pairs at one or more sides of the housing. The central void and secondary voids extend between, and are open to, a top and bottom side of the housing.
Claims20
A modular framework substructure with interlocking features, the substructure
- comprising:
- a housing comprising a polymer or polymer composite and defining a central void, secondary voids on a first and second side of the central void, and recessed channels provided in pairs at one or more sides of the housing, wherein the central void and the secondary voids extend between, and are open to, a top and bottom side of the housing.
The substructure of claim 7:
- further comprising connection/alignment apertures, each comprising a through hole provided interior to a respective one of the secondary voids, wherein one of the connection/alignment aperture is provided between each of the secondary voids;
- and
- wherein:
- a first subset of multiple ones of the secondary voids are provided at the first side of the central void;
- a second subset of multiple ones of the secondary voids are provided at the second side of the central void;
- at least some of the secondary voids in the first subset are of different size from one another;
- at least some of the secondary voids in the second subset are of different size from one another;
- the first side of the central void is opposite the second side of the central void.
