Abstract

A fractal structure system provides building components with different sizes, which a building component with the next smaller size can insert into or attach to a building component with the next larger size. Each building component has a plurality of channel walls radiating outwardly, and the plurality of channel walls forms a plurality of channels. Each building component further comprises an internal center bore, and the internal center bore includes a plurality of internal center bore corners aligning to said plurality of second channel walls. Different sizes of building components have the same cross sectional profile, which a fractal structure or pattern can be implemented with the different sizes of building components.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A fractal structure system, comprising:
 a first component with a plurality of first channel walls radiating outwardly and a first internal center bore, wherein said plurality of first channel walls forms a plurality of first channels, and said first internal center bore includes a plurality of first internal center bore corners aligning to said plurality of first channel walls;   a second component with a plurality of second channel walls radiating outwardly, wherein said plurality of second channel walls forms a plurality of second channels;   wherein said second component is configured to insert into said first internal center bore by aligning said plurality of second channel walls to said plurality of said first internal center bore corners; and   wherein said second component is configured to attach to said first component by inserting two adjacent second channel walls into one of said first channels.   
     
     
         2 . The fractal structure system as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said each of said plurality of first channel walls and each of said plurality of second channel walls have two external lips. 
     
     
         3 . The fractal structure system as recited in  claim 2 , wherein each of said external lips of said second channel walls has a notch/chamfer. 
     
     
         4 . The fractal structure system as recited in  claim 3 , wherein each of said first internal center bore corners is concave, and both notch/chamferes of each second channel wall align to opening concave edges of one of said first internal center bore corners when said second component inserts into said first internal center bore. 
     
     
         5 . The fractal structure system as recited in  claim 2 , wherein each of said external lips of said first channel walls and said second channel walls has a notch/chamfer. 
     
     
         6 . The fractal structure system as recited in  claim 5 , wherein two adjacent chamfers of two adjacent external lips, which forms one of said first channels, abut respectively to two channel floors of two neighboring second channels from one of said second channels formed by said two adjacent second channel walls when said second component attaches to said first component by inserting said two adjacent second channel walls into said one of said first channels. 
     
     
         7 . The fractal structure system as recited in  claim 5 , wherein two adjacent external lips, which forms one of said first channels, abut respectively to said two adjacent second channel walls when said second component attaches to said first component by inserting said two adjacent second channel walls into said one of said first channels. 
     
     
         8 . The fractal structure system as recited in  claim 5 , wherein two adjacent external lips, which forms said one of said first channels, have a clearance tolerance with two neighboring second channels from one of said second channels formed by said two adjacent second channel walls when said second component attaches to said first component by inserting said two adjacent second channel walls into said one of said first channels. 
     
     
         9 . The fractal structure system as recited in  claim 5 , wherein two adjacent first channel walls, which forms one of said first channels, abut respectively to two neighboring second channel walls from said two adjacent second channel walls when said second component attaches to said first component by inserting said two adjacent second channel walls into said one of said first channels. 
     
     
         10 . The fractal structure system as recited in  claim 9 , wherein two adjacent first channel walls, which forms one of said first channels, abut respectively to two notch/chamferes of said two neighboring second channel walls when said second component attaches to said first component by inserting said two adjacent second channel walls into said one of said first channels. 
     
     
         11 . The fractal structure system as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said first component is made of metal. 
     
     
         12 . The fractal structure system as recited in  claim 11 , wherein said metal is aluminum. 
     
     
         13 . The fractal structure system as recited in  claim 1 , wherein each of said plurality of first channel walls and each of said plurality of second channel walls are T-slot walls. 
     
     
         14 . The fractal structure system as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said first component has a first cross sectional profile, said second component has a second cross sectional profile, and said second cross sectional profile is proportionally smaller than said first cross sectional profile.

         16 . The fractal structure system as recited in  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a third component with a plurality of third channel walls radiating outwardly, wherein said plurality of third channel walls forms a plurality of third channels;   wherein said second component further comprises a second internal center bore, and said second internal center bore includes a plurality of second internal center bore corners aligning to said plurality of second channel walls;   wherein said third component is configured to insert into said second internal center bore by aligning said plurality of third channel walls to said plurality of said second internal center bore corners; and   wherein said third component is configured to attach to said second component by inserting two adjacent third channel walls into one of said second channels.   
     
     
         17 .
