  • Patent number: 6247414
    Abstract: A construction system for the rapid assembly of three-dimensional structures, especially shelves, having preferably vertical supports to which structural components, particularly shelves, are releasably attachable, in which the supports pass through drillings or recesses in the structural components. The supports, which comprise spacer sleeves inserted over bar members, are removably connected to the structural components through the use of connecting inserts, which are arranged within a drilling or recess in a structural component secured to the latter via the supports. The spacer sleeves are supported at the connecting inserts, which provides added stability to the structure when assembled.
