System for modular connection

摘要

A modular connection system has a plurality of modular units, each having a plurality of loop and edge sections alternating around the perimeter of a body section. The loop sections align with the edge sections so that a loop section of one unit is adjacent to a loop section of another unit. A connection interface is located at a vertex of the modular units and a loop of first one of the plurality of modular units is adapted to align parallel to an edge section of a next modular unit and a loop of each next unit is adapted to align parallel to an edge section of the preceding unit. Elongated connectors pass through the loop sections of the modular units to connect the modular units at the connection interface.

1. A system for modular connection comprising:
a plurality of modular units, each comprising:
a body portion having at least two vertices and a perimeter;a plurality of loop sections extending from said body portion, each loop section having a distal edge, a void and at least one side edge;a plurality of edge sections adjacent to said plurality of loop sections wherein the plurality of loop sections and the plurality of edge sections alternate around the perimeter;wherein each of the at least two vertices of each of the plurality of modular units has one of the plurality of loop sections and one of the plurality of edge sections adjacent thereto; at least one elongated connection member is adapted to pass through the void in the plurality of loop sections to connect at least two modular units wherein the plurality of loop sections are adapted to align with the plurality of edge sections so that one of the plurality of loop sections of one of the plurality of modular units is adjacent to one of the plurality of loop sections of another one of the plurality of modular units; and a connection interface located in an area proximate to a vertex of at least three of said plurality of modular units wherein one of the plurality of loop sections of a first one of the plurality of modular units is adapted to align parallel to one of the plurality of edge sections of a next modular unit and one of the plurality of loop sections of each next unit is adapted to align parallel to one of the plurality of edge sections of a preceding unit, wherein the connection interface includes an opening at the connection interface and is closed in a location extending radially outwards from the opening; wherein one of the plurality of loop sections of the last of the plurality of modular units surrounding the connection interface is adapted to align parallel to one of the plurality of edge sections of the first unit to form said connection interface and the one of the plurality of edge sections of the first unit is adjacent to the one of the plurality of loop sections of the first unit; wherein the at least one elongated connection member passes through the plurality of loop sections of said at least three of said plurality of modular units to connect the modular units at said connection interface.
