Abstract:
A system of construction comprising:(a) a first subassembly comprising a plurality of first subassembly structural members, each of said first subassembly structural members comprising: (i) a first subassembly first lengthwise side and an opposing first subassembly second lengthwise side, said first subassembly lengthwise sides being substantially parallel to each other and substantially equal in length, (ii) a first subassembly first widthwise side and an opposing first subassembly second widthwise side, said first subassembly widthwise sides being substantially parallel to each other and substantially equal in length; (iii) a first subassembly first planar side and a first subassembly second planar side, said first subassembly planar sides being substantially parallel to each other and defining a first subassembly thickness, said first subassembly thickness being substantially equal for each of said first assembly structural members, (iv) at least one first subassembly slot in at least one of said first subassembly lengthwise sides of each of said first assembly structural members, each of said first subassembly slots having a first subassembly slot open end, a first subassembly slot closed end, a pair of first subassembly slot parallel sides extending from said first subassembly slot open end to said first subassembly slot closed end, a first subassembly slot axis being parallel to said first subassembly slot parallel sides, each of said first subassembly slots being adapted to be detachably connected to another one of said first subassembly slots in another one of said first subassembly structural members, wherein at least one of said first subassembly slots in each of said first subassembly structural members is detachably connected to another one of said first subassembly slots in another one of said first subassembly structural members, (b) a second subassembly comprising a plurality of second subassembly structural members, each of said second subassembly structural members comprising: (i) a second subassembly first lengthwise side and an opposing second subassembly second lengthwise side, said second subassembly lengthwise sides being substantially parallel to each other and substantially equal in length, (ii) a second subassembly first lengthwise side and an opposing second subassembly second widthwise side, said second subassembly widthwise sides being substantially parallel to each other and substantially equal in length, (iii) a second subassembly first planar side and a second subassembly second planar side, said second subassembly planar sides being substantially parallel to each other and defining a second subassembly thickness, said second subassembly thickness being substantially equal for each of said second subassembly structural members, (iv) at least one second subassembly slot in at least one of said second subassembly widthwise sides of each of said second subassembly structural members, each of said second subassembly slots having a second subassembly slot open end, a second subassembly slot closed end, a pair of second subassembly slot parallel sides extending from said second subassembly slot open end to said second subassembly slot closed end, a second subassembly slot axis being parallel to said second subassembly slot parallel sides, each of said second subassembly slots being adapted to be detachably connected to one another of said second subassembly slots in another one of said second subassembly structural members, wherein at least one of said second subassembly slots in each of said second subassembly structural members is detachably connected to another one of said second subassembly slots in another one of said second subassembly structural members, and wherein at least one of said first subassembly slots and at least one of said second subassembly slots are detachably connected to produce an assembled unit.
