Abstract:
1. A system for making walls comprising: at least two pairs of connector plates each including retaining means for receiving an end of a structural member; at least two spacer plates, each defining at least one elongated slot extending through said spacer plate; a fastener extending through one of said connector plates in each of said at least two pairs of connector plates, a portion of said fastener being slidably and rotatably positioned in said elongated slot so that said spacer plate and said connector plate are movable relative to one another, rotatably, and along said slot to allow the distance between and the relative orientation of successive connector plates to be desirably configured; successively positioned connector plates being rotatably coupled to one another by at least one of said spacer plates; and wherein to form a wall, a pair of connector plates is coupled via said retaining means, one to each of a pair of generally opposing ends defined by each structural member, said connector plates being rotatably movable relative to said spacer plates thereby allowing said structural members to be oriented relative to one another so as to form a surface having desired contours when a wail-forming material is fastened to, and extends between said structural members.
