Modular multifunctional mother-beam

Abstract

Multifunctional modular mother-beam built in structural steel or similar light, sturdy material, with a “U” configuration and provided with holes along its entire length, either on the back side, on the flanks, or on the edges, by which said mother-beams connect to one another either through their back sides, their flanks, or their edges, at any angle. They are fastened with screws inserted into said holes, with no need for welding. The flanks and edges are bended to facilitate fitting and fastening of the mother-beams. Mother-beams may connect by overlapping their back sides, by joining their edges, by joining their flanks, by joining flanks with edges, edges or flanks with the back side, through direct or reversed connection. It can act as a beam, pillar, trussed beam or bar, being especially useful in the construction of large areas, such as pavilions or similar constructions.

1 . A method of creating and using a modular mother-beam, comprising the steps of:
 forming a “U” configuration having a back side, flanks, and edges;   providing holes of a uniform size along the entire length of the beam on the back side;   providing holes of a uniform size along the entire length of the beam on the flanks;   providing holes of a uniform size along the entire length of the beam on the edges; and   wherein holes on multiple mother beams are thereby of the same size when aligned.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1  including the step of forming a “U” configuration from a lightweight material. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1  including the step of providing holes in longitudinal alignment on the mother beam. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1  including the step of affixing multiple mother beams together. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 4  including the step of affixing multiple mother beams together using screws. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 5  including the step of affixing multiple mother beams together using screws of the same size. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 4  including the step of affixing multiple mother beams together in a reversed placement. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 4  including the step of overlapping multiple mother beams over one another. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 4  including the step of overlapping multiple mother beams in a cross configuration. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 9  including the step of overlapping the multiple mother beams in a ninety degree cross configuration.
