Modular click-connector elements for assembly of wall and building superstructures

In combination, a first modular connector element, a second modular connector element positioned on a first side of the first modular connector element, and a third modular connector element positioned on a second side of the first modular connector element opposite said first side for use in assembling a wall or a building superstructure, the first, second and third modular connector elements respectively comprising:

• substantially identical hooks;
• substantially identical catches;
• and
• means for respective attachment of said first, second, and third modular connector elements to respective adjacent ends of first, second and third hollow metal logs for incorporation into a wall or roof of a building superstructure;
• wherein each hook is complementary to each catch;
• the first modular connector element being adapted for first sliding engagement with the second modular connector element and second sliding engagement with the third modulator connector element in such a manner that, in response to the first sliding engagement, the catch of the second modular connector element catches the hook of the first modular connector element and, in response to the second sliding engagement, the catch of the first modular connector element catches the hook of the third modular connector element;
• whereby the first, second and third modular connector elements are locked together and said first, second, and third modular connector elements lock said first, second, and third hollow metal logs together.

A method of assembling a building superstructure comprising the steps of:

• providing a plurality of modular click connector elements;
• forming each of the modular click connector elements with a pair of engageable cutouts;
• connecting each end of a plurality of hollow metal logs to a modular click connector element;
• stacking the modular click connector elements with the attached logs to form at least two walls extending at an angle to each other and meeting at a corner formed by the modular click connector elements, the modular click connector elements for the logs of one wall alternating with the modular click connector elements for the logs of the other wall;
• and
• click-connecting a modular click connector element connected to a log of one wall to a modular click connector element connected to the next lower log of the same wall while engaging the cutouts to trap between the two logs a modular click connector element connected to a log of the other wall.
