  • Patent number: 9938720
    Abstract: A modular beam structure consisting of one or more collapsible, lockable and interconnectable support structure modules, and any transition module to change longitudinal direction of the structure. In addition, it is possible to attach onto one or more support structure modules a collapsible platform and/or wall or fence. The structure is at an upstream end or start end attachable, via a module end element, onto an attachment device, e.g. a wall or attachment block, via a support frame which is fixedly attached to the attachment device.

  • Patent number: 9554645
    Abstract: A bracket is for use in a modular construction system, wherein plates are mechanically connected in a releasable manner to form a structure. The plates comprise at least one hole in a part thereof, wherein the hole is configured for being coupled to the bracket. The bracket comprises at least two foot portions for being coupled to respective plates. Each foot portion comprises a gripper element for being inserted into the hole of the plate and a linking member connecting the at least two foot portions and establishing a predefined fixed distance and a predefined fixed relative orientation between said foot portions.

  • Publication number: 20090224129
    Abstract: A foldable support element for use in, e.g., furniture, is described in the form of a column with three or more sides, where a number of sides on the support element comprise sets of first (10) and second (20) corresponding side plates, where one end of a first side plate (10) and one end of a second side plate (20) are each fastened to a rigid base (30, 40) in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the support element with the help of hinged fastening points (60). The side plates (10, 20) are arranged to be folded outwards in relation to the longitudinal direction of the support element into a folded position, where the side plates (10, 20) lie up to 90° to the longitudinal direction of the column.
