Abstract

The metal foundations of the present invention are comprised of integrated fins which allows for the metal foundations to be manually assembled and fastened by any mechanical means.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
I claim: 
     
         1 . A metal foundation comprising a plurality of bodies, each body being comprised of ends with integrated fins, wherein the metal foundation is assembled by mechanically fastening the fins of said bodies forming a perimeter geometrical shape. 
     
     
         2 . A metal foundation comprising a plurality of fins that are centrally fastened via mechanical means and forming a radial geometrical shape. 
     
     
         3 . A metal foundation comprising:
 a first metal foundation that is comprised of a plurality of bodies, each body being comprised of ends with integrated fins, wherein the metal foundation is assembled by mechanically fastening the fins of said bodies forming a perimeter geometrical shape, and   a second metal foundation that is comprised a plurality of fins that are centrally fastened via mechanical means and forming a radial geometrical shape, and   wherein the second metal foundation is placed within the first metal foundation and is connected to the first metal foundation via the fins of the first metal foundation by a mechanically fastening means.   
     
     
         4 . The metal foundation of  claim 1  wherein each body is comprised of sides forming an obtuse angle. 
     
     
         5 . The metal foundation of  claim 1  wherein each body is arced forming a cylindrical perimeter geometric design. 
     
     
         6 . The metal foundation of  claim 1 , wherein each body on one end is comprised of a long fin and on a second end is comprised of a short fin. 
     
     
         7 . The metal foundation of  claim 2  further comprising two formed fins, each fin being formed on one end and straight on an peripheral end, and a single straight fin, said straight fin being comprised of a central end and a peripheral end whereby the two formed fins and the straight fin are fastened by mechanical means. 
     
     
         8 . The metal foundation of  claim 3  wherein the second metal foundation is comprised of three fins forming the radial geometric shape. 
     
     
         9 . The metal foundation of  claim 3  wherein the second metal foundation is comprised of four fins forming the radial geometric shape. 
     
     
         10 . The metal foundation of  claim 1 , whereby the bodies can be manually assembled. 
     
     
         11 . The metal foundation of  claim 2 , whereby the fins can be manually assembled. 
     
     
         12 . The metal foundation of  claim 3 , whereby the fins of the first metal foundation and the fins of the second metal foundation can be manually assembled. 
     
     
         13 . The metal foundation of  claim 1 , wherein one end of the plurality of bodies is cut or mitered. 
     
     
         14 . The metal foundation of  claim 2 , wherein one end of the plurality of fins is cut or mitered. 
     
     
         15 . The metal foundation of  claim 3 , wherein one end of the plurality of bodies of the first metal foundation and the fins of the second metal foundation is cut or mitered.
