Abstract

A system includes an initial position identified to build one or more connected structures. The system also includes one or more corner brackets attached to a plurality of frame members at the initial position. The system also includes a plurality of mid-beams and center braces positioned in between each of the frame members and each of the corner brackets to enable decorative screen panels to be placed between each of the frame members and corner brackets. The decorative screen panels are positioned over the mid-beams and center beams and in between the corner brackets and frame members. The system also includes a plurality of corner posts each inserted into one of the corner brackets. The corner posts, combined with the corner brackets form a T-shaped frame around the decorative screen panels.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A system comprising:
 an initial position identified to build one or more connected structures;   one or more corner brackets are attached to a plurality of frame members at the initial position, wherein the corner brackets are positioned in a plurality of positions over the initial position;   a plurality of mid-beams positioned in between each of the frame members and each of the corner brackets to enable decorative screen panels to be placed between each of the frame members and corner brackets; and   the decorative screen panels positioned over the mid-beams and in between the corner brackets and frame members; and   a plurality of corner posts each inserted into one of the corner brackets, wherein the corner brackets, frame members, and decorative screen panels are positioned at an angle, and wherein the corner posts, combined with the corner brackets form a T-shaped frame around the decorative screen panels.   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein a series of bottom plates are used to provide structural support for the plurality of corner posts. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein one or more locking mechanisms are positioned in the plurality of corner posts. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of frame members provide support for the plurality of corner posts. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of corner posts provide support for the T-shaped corner brackets. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of frame members include welded brackets to secure the frame members to the one or more corner brackets. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more corner brackets include a plurality of holes. 
     
     
         8 . A system comprising:
 a corner bracket positioned at an initial position with a plurality of holes;   a plurality of frame members configured to be placed within the corner bracket, wherein at least one of the plurality of frame members will be placed at one end of the corner bracket, and wherein at least another one of the plurality of frame members will be placed at an other end of the corner bracket, wherein the plurality of frame members combined with the corner bracket form a T-shaped bracket; and   a corner post positioned underneath the corner bracket to provide support for the corner bracket and plurality of frame members.   
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein one or more additional corner brackets are positioned in parallel to the first corner bracket. 
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein a plurality of mid-beams are placed within at least one of the frame members. 
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 8 , further comprising:
 one or more center braces positioned within at least one of the frame members.   
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein an additional corner post provides structural support for an additional corner bracket. 
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein the corner post is included in the T-shaped bracket of the plurality of frame members and corner bracket. 
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein the corner bracket includes one or more apertures for locking mechanisms to secure the one or more frame members and corner post within the corner bracket. 
     
     
         15 . A method comprising:
 identifying an initial position to build one or more connected structures;   attaching one or more corner brackets to a plurality of frame members at the initial position, wherein the corner brackets are positioned in a plurality of positions;   positioning a plurality of mid-beams in between each of the frame members and each of the corner brackets to enable decorative screen panels to be placed between each of the frame members and corner brackets; and   positioning the decorative screen panels over the mid-beams and between the corner brackets and frame members; and   inserting a plurality of corner posts into each of the corner brackets, wherein the corner brackets, frame members, and decorative screen panels are positioned at an angle, and wherein the corner posts, combined with the corner brackets form a T-shaped frame around the decorative screen panels.   
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 15 , further comprising:
 placing openings within each of the corner brackets to secure the T-shaped bracket.   
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 15 , further comprising:
 placing welded brackets within the frame members to enable the frame members to be secured within the one or more corner brackets.   
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 15 , further comprising:
 placing at least one center beam to connect at least one of the frame members to another frame member.
