Abstract:
1. A construction system, comprising: a plurality of construction elements with each construction element of said construction elements including a body member and a plurality of coupling members, wherein said plurality of coupling members includes a first coupling member belonging to a first construction element of said plurality of construction elements and being interlockable with a second coupling member of said plurality of coupling members belonging to a second construction element of said plurality of construction elements, wherein: said receiving block further comprising a tapered portion extending from said center-point and said recesses, said tapered portion including at least one control geometric parameter, so that, upon presenting said first coupling member to said second coupling member along said coupling direction and in mutually orthogonal orientations: whereby, said control geometric parameter defines and controls an amount of applied force needed to couple, or de-couple, said construction elements in said construction system, said tapered portion of said first coupling member and said tapered portion of said second coupling member, in a coupled position, substantially contact one another at said center-point for preventing over-engagement or unwanted deformation of said exterior portion if excessive coupling force is applied, and said protrusions and recesses, in coupled position, provide for full contact between said first coupling member and said second coupling member on at least four predetermined and controllable surface portions in two mutually orthogonal planes, thereby enabling a secure, stable and controllable connection.
