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 18):
A system according to  claim 17 , wherein:\n the first sliding element includes a first attachment element; the second sliding element includes a second attachment element configured to cooperate with the first attachment element to detachably secure the second sliding element to the first sliding element; and the sleeve further comprises a tightening mechanism configured to secure the sleeve against the pole to prevent further sliding of the connector when the connector is in a desired position.
