- (b) an underlying support element;
- (c) two mutually opposed peripheral sides of the structure are each fitted with at least one projection flange but no receiving flanges;
- (d) two mutually opposed peripheral sides of the structure are each fitted with at least one receiving flange but no projection flanges;
- (e) the projection flanges on one unit of the structure are adapted to engage and cooperate with the receiving flanges on another unit of the structure, so that in use, two or more units of the structure are capable of being releasably locked or joined together, without the need for any additional locking or joining means.
