Sustainable Perforated Flat-bar Connection System
Abstract
A mechanical utility invention created in the interest of the construction industry. The Sustainable Flat-bar Connection System to be used with the member beam of the parent application, U.S. Pat. No. 15/703,993. The sustainable connection system is reusable, can be temporary or permanent, can be used on all sides of the beam at once, can join plural beams congruently, and replaces conventional counterparts; strong ties, metal straps, screws and nails. It creates economy in waste compared to it's conventional counterparts, in that they often become damaged and unusable after disconnection and are then discarded in landfills. It can be utilized to join bulky construction materials together in a lamination style, in a post and beam configuration, and to create an apex between two member beams. The disconnection utility from member beams without the loss of integrity or damage to the system or the member beam making them both largely sustainable.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1 . A connection system for connecting 2 member beams or construction materials together that allow for disconnection and reuse, comprising; perforated flat-bar, wherein having connector spikes located on sliding rails; wherein said spikes are pushed up through the perforations by semi-circle sliding nuts; wherein said flat-bar comprising: slopes leading up to said perforations, aid in guiding said spikes upward until spikes reach a perpendicular position in relation to the the flat-bar; thereafter the spikes thread through said perforations of a second perforated flat-bar connection system located on a second member beam, thus connecting the two member beams; wherein also comprising: a locking slide bar, located in front of the perforated flat-bar, the slide bar pushes away prior to threading the spikes, and pushes back into place after threading of the spikes to lock the spikes in place.
