Abstract:
1. A construction kit which makes it possible for a do-it-yourselfer to erect a strong and stable structure of predetermined geometry resistant to parallelogram effects; said kit comprising the following components: A. first and second end frames provided with corners, B. a plurality of beams adapted to bridge the end frames, each corner of the end frames being provided with a means to join the corner onto an end of a beam to create a structure skeleton in which the beams bridging the end frames are in parallel relation, said beams being formed as profiled members having L-shaped cross-sectional configuration defined by a vertical zone and a horizontal zone, wherein the vertical zone is divided from the horizontal zone by a diagonal slat; C. a set of rectangular wall panels mountable on the beams, the vertical and horizontal zones of each beam being profiled to create at least one track therein, said track being suitable to slidably receive a panel within the track, the panel then being trappable between a pair of adjacent parallel beams and being confineable by the end frames to maintain the geometry of said structure when it is subjected to stresses the horizontal zone and the vertical zone are provided with outer slats, wherein the outer slats of the vertical zone define right angle with the outer slats of the horizontal zone; and ledges projecting from the diagonal slat into each zone, said ledges are parallel to respective outer slats to define a broad track and a narrow track, said broad and narrow tracks being suitable to accommodate panels of different thickness.
