Title:
TUBULAR STRUCTURE AND MODULAR BUILDING ASSEMBLY USING THE SAME
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2002066760
Kind Code:
B1
Abstract:
This invention relates to an elongated hollow non-deformable structure that can be used as beams and pillars of modular building structures. The structure includes first and second elongated C-shaped channels (20) with inwardly bent lips (25) and means for holding the two channels (20) together so that the lips (25) kiss each other. The first and second C-shaped channels (20) may be formed without lips (25). L-shaped (42) and T-shaped (40) and H-shaped flanges of appropriate design are provided with holes in the flanges at predetermined locations to correspond to the holes in the end portions of the beams and pillars. There are plug-able holes (21) provided in the end portions of the beams and pillars so that workers can easily access inside the hollow space to use nuts (72), washers, and bolts (70) to couple the elongated hollow structures together. Instead of the C-shaped chanel (20) structure two identical L-shaped channels (20b) may be used.
