Embodiment Construction

[0022] refer to figure 1 , which shows a building 10 constructed at least in part from modular components and which includes one or more of several improvements. The first improvement in Figure 2-Figure 5 and Figure 6A-6F Illustrated in , and generally at 12 , is a bonding system for connecting a first building construction component 14 and a second building construction component 16 . For example, if figure 2 As shown in , the first building construction element 14 may be a roof panel and the second building construction element 16 may be a gabled wall panel. Alternatively, as in image 3 As shown in , the first building construction element 14 may be a roof panel, and the second building construction element may be another type of wall panel.

[0023] The coupling system 12 includes a female buckle 18 that is attachable to the first building construction member 14 and includes a first female buckle receiving surface 20 and a second female buckle receiving surface 22 ...

Abstract

A joining system is provided for connecting first and second building construction members. The system includes a female dog(18) that connects to the first building construction member (14) and includes first and second female dog receiving surfaces (20,22), which face generally away from each other, and are adjacent an aperture (24) defining an axis. The system further includes a male dog (32) that is connectable to the second building construction member (16) and includes first and second male dog clamping surfaces (33,34) which generally face each other. The male dog (32) inserts through the aperture(24) and moves in a first lateral direction to clamp the female dog (18). A locking arrangement (42) includes first and second locking structures (44,46) which engage to permit movement of the male dog (32) in the first lateral direction to increase a clamping force on the female dog (18), and inhibit movement opposite the first lateral direction.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to modular construction systems, and in particular to systems and methods for connecting construction members, such as walls and top members, and for supporting bottom panels. Background technique [0002] Modular construction systems have been proposed, but assembling modular construction systems into buildings is often time consuming and may require extensive work on site. It would be preferable to provide a modular construction system that reduces the amount of finishing work required at the building assembly site and is relatively easy to assemble. Contents of the invention [0003] In one aspect, a joining system for connecting a first building construction element and a second building construction element is provided. The coupling system includes a female dog attachable to a first building construction member and including a first female dog receiving surface and a second female dog receiving surface. The first ...
