Modular Building Units, And Methods Of Constructing And Transporting Same

摘要

A connector assembly, which in one embodiment has an upper connector and in another embodiment has a lower connector. The assembly can have a gusset plate sandwiched between the upper and lower connectors. Also, disclosed is a hoistable connector assembly, a lifting frame assembly, a coupling system for modular frame units, a method for assembling a module unit using the connector assembly, and a modular frame unit and building having the connector assembly. Also, a system for coupling adjacent modular frame units for forming a modular building and a method for coupling modular frame units for forming a modular building are provided.

1. A connector assembly, comprising an upper connector coupled to a lower connector and a gusset plate sandwiched between the upper and lower connectors,
the lower connector comprises:
a lower connector hollow body having lower connector first and second ends, the first end being adapted for receiving a first end of a first module frame and the second end being adapted for coupling to the gusset plate;at least a pair of lower connector bosses coupled to the lower connector hollow body; andat least a pair of lower connector arms, each lower connector arm being coupled to and extending from the lower connector boss and having an aperture for receiving a fastening means to couple the lower connector to the upper connector.
