Abstract: The invention relates to a connecting system 1, comprising at least one hole carrier 2 with a row of side openings 4 made therein in a longitudinal direction, the openings being aligned in a first orientation and in a second orientation orthogonal thereto and being made transverse to the longitudinal direction, wherein the side openings 4 of the first and the second orientation are shifted by one half the distance between two side openings 4. According to the invention, the distance between two side openings 4 is smaller than the clear width of the side openings 4, the side opening 4 of the second orientation being made within this distance and the side openings 4 of the first and the second orientation partially penetrating one another. The invention further relates to a method for building an assembly from a connecting system 1 and to a use of a connecting system 1 having the associated securing and connection elements and the installation sequence.
Abstract: Components may be used to build a three-dimensional (3-D) model. The components can include supports and connectors. A subset of components can be selected based on the 3-D model. The subset of components can be used to build the 3-D model.
Abstract: The invention describes a new constructor module with the additive aspects of sound and dynamic construction. A base block is provided with varying mating elements for adjustably connecting structural blocks and plates together with sounding elements. A plurality of base blocks may be constructed based on desired output in various shapes and structures. The base blocks are coupled together with connecting elements and fixing pins, which also assist in coupling the sounding elements. Additional plates are also utilized for creating dynamic sounds and structures, including D-shaped plates and U-shaped plates. Constructor set modules may utilize all such elements in a plurality of structures, or at minimum, only base blocks, connecting elements, a sounding element, and fixing pins.
Abstract: A system and method of masonry construction using masonry blocks and anchors, wherein the blocks are laid end to end, and an anchor is inserted between them. The anchor both spaces and secures the blocks, even before mortar is applied. The anchors contain legs recess between the walls of the masonry construction, and create a space for the walls to recess in to on the anchor, thereby providing multi-directional securement of the system. Embodiments of the system also contain grooves for additional securement and complemental engagement of the anchors.
