ABSTRACT:
Structural frameworks of differing shapes and for diverse purposes may be assembled by linking essentially rectangular, open centered frames together in end to end relationship by extending side members of individual ones of the frames into the open centers of adjacent ones of the frames. Sidewardly extending projections on individual frames overlap and abut side members of the adjacent frames to hold the members in a linked condition and to impart load bearing capability to the framework. Frameworks of differing geometry can be assembled from the same set of frames. The linked frames may be angled relative to each other to form an arch and the linked frames may be pivoted together at the locations where the frames intersect to enable folding of the framework into a more compact shape.
