Abstract
Elements for connecting boards or plates, the element comprising a ring having a cross section of a three quarter circle extending into a right angle. The ring has a circular opening extending therethrough. The elements are fastened to two or more boards and a rod is removably placed so as to traverse all circular openings of the elements.
Claims14
An element for connecting boards or plates, with one another, said element comprising a ring having a cross-section of three-quarter of a circle with a right angular point, the straight sides thereof tangentially joining the ends of the three-quarter circle, said element including a throughgoing opening co-axial with the ring, for receiving a rod for enabling said straight sides of at least one connector element to be abuttingly attached to an edge of the board and to enable said round part to rotate said board into any angular position for connecting same to another board to which at least one other connecting element is abuttingly engaged.
A structure comprising a board or plate including means joining thereof to a similar board or plate, said means including a plurality of connection elements, each element comprising a ring having a cross-section of three-quarter of a circle with a right-angular point, formed by straight tangentially joining the ends of the three-quarter circle, said element including a throughgoing circular opening co-axial with the ring for reception of a mating pin, one of the straight sides of each element being fastened to an edge of one of said boards or plates.
A structure comprising a board or plate including means for joining thereof to a similar board or plate, said means including at least one connection element fastened to at least one edge of the structure, said element comprising a ring having a cross-section of three-quarter of a circle with a right angular point, the straight sides thereof tangentially joining the ends of the three-quarter circle, said element including a throughgoing opening co-axial with the ring, at least two connection elements spaced from one another being fastened to at least one edge of the structure, and including an assembly of at least two structures as set forth in which the connection elements of both structures are aligned with respect to the throughgoing opening, but angularly staggered with respect to the right angular parts thereof, and the connection elements of one structure are arranged to fill the space between the connection elements of the other structure, the assembly further comprising a rod traversing the circular openings of all connection elements, wherein the three-quarter portion of the connectors of the two structures in the joint are constructed to cooperate with one another.
