Abstract:
A framing system (10) is disclosed including three-dimensional structural members (12, 14) formed from planar panels (16) having their edges removably secured together by provisions (48) including slide connectors (66, 174) which receive lugs (52) slideably received in and abutting with latches (56). The panels (16) include interconnect ports (22) having integral, concentric tubes (24). The exterior faces (18) of the structural members (12, 14) are abutted together, with the structural members (12, 14) being clamped by a clamp (28) having a central wall (30) abutting with the tubes (24) and first and second side walls (32, 34) abutting with the free faces (25) of the tubes (24). Relative rotation is prevented between the clamp (28) and the structural members (12, 14) by detents (44) formed in the clamp (28) which are received in notches (26) formed in the free face (25) of the tubes (24). A hanging accessory (114) includes an end plate (116) having a U-shaped channel (120) formed therein and a cable (122) secured thereto. By sliding the U-shaped channel (120) over the thickness of the tube (24), the hanging accessory (114) is able to pass through the port (22) and be oriented to abut with the tube (24). Provisions (84) are also provided for attaching accessories including a sleeve (86) having a removable cover (88). The sleeve (86) includes a cylindrical portion (96) slideably received in the ports (22) and having detents (102) slideable through the notches.(26) of the tubes (24) and abuttable with the tubes (24) intermediate the notches,(26).
