Abstract

A building component for building structures, the building component configured to be releasable connectable to a second conjugate building component. The building component comprises a frame being a section of a basic geometrical shape. The frame having at least one side; the side having at least a protrusion. The conjugate building component being of the same structure also has a frame having at least one conjugate side; the conjugate side having at least a corresponding conjugate receptacle. When the building component and the conjugate building component are connected the sides of building components are next to each other. The protrusion and receptacle of the components snugly engage each other so that the inner and outer surfaces of the protrusion and receptacle are in contact with each other. The friction between the surfaces prevents the disconnecting of the components.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified

A building component as in  claim 1  wherein the protrusion has small hole that acts as an air vent to let air escape that builds up when the protrusion is inserted in the receptacle during assembly when the two components are connected, because the protrusion fits so snugly in the receptacle air get trapped in the space between the protrusion front surface and inside of receptacle. 
     
     
         4 . A building component as in  claim 2  wherein the receptacle has small hole that acts as an air vent to let air escape that builds up when the protrusion is inserted in the receptacle during assembly when the two components are connected, because the protrusion fits so snugly in the receptacle air get trapped in the space between the protrusion front surface and inside of receptacle. 
     
     
         5 . A building component as in  claim 1  wherein the basic geometrical shape of the building component and of the conjugate building component are the same. 
     
     
         6 . A building component as in  claim 1  wherein the basic geometrical shape of the building component and of the conjugate building component are different. 
     
     
         7 . A building component as in  claim 1  wherein the basic geometrical shape is a tube and the frame is arc shaped. 
     
     
         8 . A building component as in  claim 7  wherein the frame has at least five sides; at top side, a bottom side, a left side, a right side and a front and each side has two receptacles and two protrusions. 
     
     
         9 . A building component as in  claim 1  wherein the basic geometrical shape is a sphere and the frame has the shape of a section of a sphere. 
     
     
         10 . A building component as in  claim 9  wherein the frame has at least three sides a left side having a protrusion and two receptacles; a right side having a receptacle and two protrusions; and a bottom side having a receptacle and a protrusion. 
     
     
         11 . A building component as in  claim 1  wherein the basic geometrical shape is a torus and the frame has the shape of a section of a torus. 
     
     
         12 . A building component as in  claim 11  wherein the frame has at least four sides; a top side having a receptacle, a bottom side having a protrusion and receptacle, a left and right side each side having three receptacles and three protrusions. 
     
     
         13 . A building component as in  claim 1  wherein the basic geometrical shape is a truncated cone and the frame has the shape of a section of a truncated cone. 
     
     
         14 . A building component as in  claim 13  wherein the frame has at least three sides; a bottom side having a protrusion, a left and right side each side having two receptacles and two protrusions.
