Abstract
A modular terrain assembly generally provides cooperating modular boards. Each board has a worksurface on a base, with the base elevated on legs. A tongue along an edge of one board is received into a groove along the edge of an adjacent board, thereby enabling a unified worksurface. The tongue and groove arrangement further includes alignment members for a more precise arrangement.
Claims20
A modular terrain assembly, comprising:
- a first modular board having a first worksurface and a first base;
- legs connected to the first base and elevating the first base from a support surface;
- a tongue connected to an edge of the first base;
- alignment protrusions connected to and extending from the tongue, the alignment protrusions being spaced apart;
- a second modular board having a second worksurface and a second base;
- legs connected to the second base and elevating the second base from a support surface;
- a groove along an edge of the second base, the groove constructed to receive the tongue;
- alignment holes in the groove, the holes constructed to receive the alignment protrusions;
- and
- wherein when the tongue is aligned in the groove, the first worksurface and the second worksurface cooperate to form a unified and elevated worksurface.
