Modular system for realising chambers joined to one another

Abstract

A modular system, for realising chambers that are joined to one another, includes a plurality of walls delimiting chambers and a plurality of joint elements, each configured to fasten two walls of the chamber to one another at a longitudinal corner of the chamber. Each of the joint elements includes a tubular body provided with at least an axial cavity, open at least at an end of the tubular body and conformed such as to be external of the chamber. Interconnectors are further provided, for interconnecting two chambers, including plugs configured to interconnect two joint elements of respective chambers, each plug being configured to be solidly associated to two tubular bodies of two reciprocally-facing joint elements, internally of the respective cavities, for joining two joint elements head to head.

         2 ). The system ( 1 ) of  claim 1 , wherein the tubular body ( 5 ) has an axis that extends along the longitudinal corner of the chamber ( 3 ) and each end of the tubular body ( 5 ) comprises one of the cavities ( 6 ). 
     
     
         3 ). The system ( 1 ) of  claim 1 , wherein the tubular body ( 5 ) has an axis which extends along the longitudinal corner of the chamber ( 3 ) and the chamber ( 6 ) is a through-chamber and passes from an end to another of the tubular body ( 5 ). 
     
     
         4 ). The system ( 1 ) of  claim 1 , further comprising at least one transversal body ( 10 ), for fastening the plug ( 8 ) to the cavity, configured to transversally cross the tubular body ( 5 ) and the plug ( 8 ) for blocking axial sliding of the plug ( 8 ) internally of the cavity. 
     
     
         5 ). The system ( 1 ) of  claim 1 , wherein the retainers ( 12 ) comprise longitudinally-developing seats ( 13 ), each seating ( 13 ) being suitable for snugly housing a longitudinal edge ( 2   a ) of the walls ( 2   b ); the seats ( 13 ) defining respective lie planes of the walls ( 2   b ) that are incident to one another according to longitudinal corners. 
     
     
         6 ). The system ( 1 ) of  claim 5 , wherein the seats ( 13 ) are arranged at an acute angle with respect to one another, and the transversal plugs ( 10 ) cross the tubular body ( 5 ) at points located externally of the acute angle defined by the seats ( 13 ). 
     
     
         7 ). The system of  claim 5 , wherein the seats ( 13 ) exhibit a stepped tapered shape, configured to house walls ( 2 ) of different thicknesses. 
     
     
         8 ). The system ( 1 ) of  claim 1 , wherein the joint element ( 4 ) comprises hooking members ( 14 ), configured to hook completion elements ( 15 ) of the modular structure, associated externally of the tubular body. 
     
     
         9 ). The system ( 1 ) of  claim 8 , wherein the hooking members ( 14 ) comprise sliding guides ( 16 ,  16   a ,  16   b ) defining sliding axes which are substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the tubular body ( 5 ). 
     
     
         10 ). The system ( 1 ) of  claim 9 , wherein the completion elements ( 15 ) comprise at least a reinforcing crossbar ( 19 ) of the chamber ( 3 ), internally associable to the chamber and interposed between two joint elements ( 4 ); the completion elements ( 15 ) being slidably associable to the sliding guide ( 16 ,  16   a ,  16   b ) and fixable thereto by fastening bodies ( 22 ) for blocking the reciprocal position between the sliding guide and the completion elements ( 15 ).
