Abstract
A structural assemblage formed of a plurality of elongated structural elements wherein abutting elements are connected together through an interlocking arrangement. Each structural element is composed of an elongated member which in transverse cross-section is constructed of a hub from which extends a plurality of sheet material panels. Each panel includes interlocking structure to matingly engage with an adjoining panel. A sufficient number of the elongated structural elements are to be connected together to form an enclosed space defining a duct. A sufficient number of the structural elements can be utilized to form a bank of ducts.
Claims12
An assemblage formed of a plurality of elongated structural elements, said assemblage comprising:
- each said elongated structural element being constructed in transverse cross-section of a hub from which extends a plurality of sheet material panels, each said panel having a free outer edge, said hub having a longitudinal center axis, each said panel substantially defining a plane, each said plane intersecting at said longitudinal center axis, said longitudinal center axis being totally confined within each said plane;
- and
- interlocking means connected to each said panel directly adjacent said free outer edge, said interlocking means of one said panel to matingly engage with a said interlocking means of another said panel of a separate elongated structural element forming a pair of interlocked said panels, said interlocked said panels substantially forming a continuous sheet material member having substantially flush abutting exterior wall surfaces.
