Abstract

Claims26
A modular system of mutually cooperating building elements comprising an angle connector having at least two elongated arms, each arm having an external cross-sectional profile and a long dimension, said arms having a common junction, each arm having at least one recess with an inward facing edge facing said junction wherein said edge is disposed transversely to the long dimension of said arm;
- at least one set screw having a conical end surface;
- at least one extrusion having a closed channel for receiving one of said arms;
- and at least one threaded hole in said channel for receiving said set screw, said threaded hole aligned with said inward facing edge so that said conical end surface of said set screw offsetly engages said inward facing edge for urging said extrusion in direction to said junction.
