Abstract
Building products as well as manufacturing of molds or/and frame-cast components used to fabricate them are provided. These are dimensionally predetermined socket array systems integral to construction building blocks or standalone, attachable socket array systems for methods of (mass-)producing building structures and construction systems and infrastructure.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedWhat is claimed is:
1 . A dwelling structure, comprising:
(a) a building structure block; and (b) a socket array, wherein the socket array comprises a base plate having a base plate surface from which a plurality of protrusions extend in a distributed pattern, wherein each of the plurality of protrusions have a distal end, wherein the socket array is cast in the building structure, wherein the building structure has a building structure surface at which each of the distal ends of the plurality of protrusions are accessible, and wherein one or more or each of at least a subset of the plurality protrusions are capable of receiving a connector that fits the respective protrusion.
2 . The dwelling structure as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the building structure is a building block or panel, a cement block or panel, a prefabricated building structure, a wall structure, ceiling structure or a floor structure.
3 . The dwelling structure as set forth in claim 1 , wherein one or more of the distal ends of the plurality of protrusions are flush with the building structure surface, are shy of the building structure surface, or are extend passed the building structure surface.
4 . The dwelling structure as set forth in claim 1 , wherein one or more of the plurality of protrusions are non-metallic or metallic.
5 . The dwelling structure as set forth in claim 1 , wherein one or more of the plurality of protrusions have a through-hole from the distal end in a direction of the base plate, are solidly closed protrusions from the distal end in the direction of the base plate, or a combination thereof.
6 . The dwelling structure as set forth in claim 1 , wherein one or more of the plurality of protrusions are circular, square, rectangular, or ellipsoidal.
7 . The dwelling structure as set forth in claim 1 , wherein one or more of the plurality of protrusions have a protrusion locking mechanism to lock to connectors.
8 . The dwelling structure as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the plurality of protrusions are individually attached to the base plate.
9 . The dwelling structure as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the plurality of protrusions are uniformly integrated with the base panel through a manufacturing process.
10 . The dwelling structure as set forth in claim 1 , wherein each one of the plurality of protrusions have predesigned thermal, acoustic, electromagnetic energy barrier, vapor barrier, structural performance specifications or combinations thereof that will affect the performance of the dwelling structure.
11 . The dwelling structure as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the plurality of protrusions are suitable to fit mechanical, electrical, network, plumbing devices, equipment, spatial spanners or assemblies.
12 . The dwelling structure as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the plurality of protrusions are suitable to fit to connectors to fixate mechanical, electrical, network, plumbing devices, equipment, spatial spanners or assemblies.
13 . The dwelling structure as set forth in claim 12 , wherein one or more of the connectors have a connector locking mechanism to mate or lock with a protrusion locking mechanism of the plurality of protrusions.
14 . The dwelling structure as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the distributed pattern is an orderly matrix m by n pattern, wherein m≥1 and n≥2, or m≥2 and n≥1.
15 . The dwelling structure as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the building structure has one or more cut-outs or through-holes for the purposes of aligning the dwelling structures, stacking the dwelling structures, connecting socket arrays, connecting base plates or connecting one or more of the plurality of protrusions.
16 . The dwelling structure as set forth in claim 1 , further comprising a lining or joining mechanism suitable to fit in between two dwelling structures.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
