  • Patent number: 12419425
    Abstract: A frame structure defines a space capable of accommodating a user, and includes a plurality of outline frames that forms an assembly-type framework for the space, a sheet that is stretched over the framework so as to form a floor surface, a side surface, and a top surface of the space, a support frame that supports the floor surface at a position higher than a base surface where the frame structure is placed, a battery attachment portion that enables attachment of a battery to an under surface side of the floor surface, an outlet provided on any of the floor surface, the side surface, and the top surface, and a battery connecting portion that connects the battery attached to the battery attachment portion and the outlet.

  • Patent number: 12419423
    Abstract: A coupling device and method for removably coupling frames of a modular panel system includes a first coupling body fixedly and rotatably connected to a first panel frame of a first panel and a second coupling body fixedly and rotatably connected to a second panel frame of a second panel. The first and second coupling bodies are removably coupled to one another in a coupled state to thereby couple the first panel and the second panel together and are decoupled from one another in a decoupled state to thereby decouple the first panel and the second panel from one another.

  • Publication number: 20240301902
    Abstract: A modular panel system, kit and method includes a first panel and a second panel removably connected to the first panel. Each of the first and second panels includes end edge portions spaced apart from one another to define a panel length, and lateral edge portions spaced apart from one another to define a panel width with each of the lateral edge portions extending from one of the end edge portions to the other of the end edge portions. The panel length and panel width of the second panel are, respectively, the same as the panel length and panel width of the first panel. The first and second panels are configured to be removably coupled to one another by having respective edge portions of each of the first and second panels arranged longitudinally adjacent to one another and removably coupled together.

  • Publication number: 20240301901
    Abstract: A removable coupling device and method for coupling panels of a modular panel system includes a at least one cooperative housing portion defining a housing recess configured to receive an associated frame of an associated panel and a rotational locking member movably disposed on the at least one cooperative housing portion to selectively lock an angular position between the at least one cooperative housing portion and the associated frame. The rotational locking member axially movable between a first axial position wherein the rotational locking member prevents relative rotation between the at least one cooperative housing portion and the associated frame and a second axial position wherein the rotational locking member allows relative rotation between the at least one cooperative housing portion and the associated frame.

  • Publication number: 20230407668
    Abstract: A space structure with an interior space, the space structure having a plurality of hexagonal planes and a plurality of triangular planes surrounding the space, in which each of the hexagonal planes and each of the triangular planes are arranged so as to face each other with the space S in between, and, when the space structure is installed so that one of the plurality of hexagonal planes is a bottom surface, other hexagonal planes slope toward the space S side as the other hexagonal planes go from bottom to top.
