Abstract

A system for assembling a variety of structures is disclosed. The system comprises a number of relatively short members having integral terminator portions suitable for reusable mechanical connection to other said members, at least a plurality of said members preferably incorporating a bend in at least one terminator to permit the assembly of complex, dimensional structures without additional components.

1 . In a structure for the support of loads: 
 a plurality of similar elongated structural members, a plurality of said structural shapes disposed in a substantially parallel relationship;    additional said members mechanically connected to and between said elongated structural shapes for maintaining said substantially parallel relationship;    said members and said additional members forming a substantially rigid structure that is longer in at least one axis than the longest said member perpendicular to said axis;    said members having at least two integral terminator portions suitable for reusable mechanical interconnection with the terminator portions of said members    and a plurality of said members incorporating a bend in at least one of said terminator portions.
