Abstract:
A system for building a reconfigurable trellis includes at least one slidable pole connector configured to slide along a pole having either a circular or rectangular cross-section. The slidable pole connector includes a first portion configured to slide along a first pole and a second portion extending perpendicularly from the first portion and configured to receive an end of a second pole. The first portion may be in the form of a sleeve, which may be unitary or may include two detachably connected parts. A tightening mechanism may be provided to secure the first portion against the first pole and to prevent further sliding of the first portion when the connector is in a desired position. Several slidable pole connectors may be used with one another and with strand or rope connectors to secure a plurality of vertical poles, horizontal poles, and ropes, cables, strings, or or wires to one another in a variety of adjustable configurations.

Claim (Index 19):
A system according to  claim 17 , wherein:\n the pole has a rectangular cross-section; the first sliding element includes\n a first plate configured to overlie a first side of the pole and having a first end, and \n a second plate configured to overlie a second side of the pole and having a second end; and \n the second sliding element includes\n a first plate configured to overlie a third side of the pole and having a first end, and \n a second plate configured to overlie a fourth side of the pole and having a second end; \n wherein the first end of the first sliding element is configured to cooperate with the first end of the second sliding element, and the second end of the first sliding element is configured to cooperate with the second end of the second sliding element to detachably secure the first and second sliding elements to one another.
