Embodiments of the present disclosure are related to an configurable assembly (hereinafter referred to as assembly), for example a connector assembly, and a method for forming an assembly, and a structure or object that may be built from the assembly, wherein seamless integration of the various components and utilities may be materialized within the assembled object. In an exemplary embodiment, the assembly, for example a connector assembly or a structural hollow joining assembly, includes a central hollow section 105 provided radially with a plurality of connection 110. The connections 110 referred herein are broadly the connection points or connection nodes are radially positioned around the central hollow section 105 as per a required design as will be illustrated and explained with reference to the Figures. The connections are positioned or located around the central hollow section during fabrication of the central hollow section, and the connections are essentially molded around the central hollow section at a pre-defined position and in a pre-defined shape and/or size forming one part of the assembly. The connection 110 around the central hollow section 105 may be configured to hold a first part 122 of a sleeve 120. The first part 122 of the sleeve 120 may be provided with a cavity 150 along a specified direction, and the first part of the sleeve 122 may be glided into the connection 110 such that the side having the cavity 150 glides into the side of the connection 110 having a positioning stub 160. Once the first part 122 of the sleeve 120 is glided into the connection 110, the cavity 150 in the sleeve may be configured to sit into the positioning stub 160 on the connection 110 and locks the first part 122 of the sleeve 120 into the connection 110. Prior to gliding the first part 122 of the sleeve 120 into the connection 110, a second part 124 of the sleeve 120 is seamlessly glided into/onto a beam 130. The second part 124 of the beam may be affixed to the beam 130. The beam 130 affixed to the second part 124 of the sleeve 120 on the one part is glided into the connection 110, such that the first part of the sleeve may be allowed to form an assembly in a given direction of the connection 110. In this may a number of assembly structures may be formed or combined together at pre-defined position to form an object or a structure, for example a building. This way a pre-defined and highly stable structure, for example a building, may be constructed with lesser cost and at a faster pace as compared to construction work on site.
In an exemplary embodiment, the connection 110 around the central hollow section 105 may include at least one of a square shape and/or a rectangular shape and/or a circular shape and/or cylindrical shape and/or a conical shape and/or a polygonal shape and/or octahedral shape and/or a combination thereof. It should be obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art that other shapes and sizes or a combination of shapes and sizes may be included, and all such shapes and sizes fall within the scope of the present disclosure. For example, in one assembly, all connections around the central hollow section may have the same dimension and shape. In another example, in an assembly, the size and shapes of the connections may vary around the central hollow section. In an exemplary assembly, which may include 4 connections around the central hollow section, a first connection may be square shape, a second connection may be circular shape, a third connection may be hexagonal shaped and a fourth connection may be pentagonal shaped. Based on the shape of the connection, a corresponding shaped sleeve 120 may be fabricated, such that the sleeve 120 glides into the connection and the cavity 150 on the sleeve 120 locks itself in position with the positioning stub 160 of the connection 110. Therefore, it should be obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art that various shapes and sizes may be associated with the sleeve 120, and all such shapes and sizes fall within the scope of the present disclosure.
In a further exemplary embodiment, a second part 124 of the sleeve 120 may be affixed to a beam 130. The beam may include either one of a hollow beam or a solid beam and may also include different shapes and sizes that may be configured to be accommodated by the sleeve 120. In an exemplary embodiment, the beam 130 may include at least one of a square shape and/or a rectangular shape and/or a circular shape and/or cylindrical shape and/or a conical shape and/or a polygonal shape and/or octahedral shape and/or a combination thereof. It should be obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art that other shapes and sizes or a combination of shapes and sizes may be included, and all such shapes and sizes fall within the scope of the present disclosure.
In a further exemplary embodiment, the second part 124 of the sleeve 120 is first glided into or onto the beam 130. Once the second part 124 of the sleeve is glided into/onto the beam 130, the second part 124 of the sleeve 120 is affixed to the beam 130, forming a permanent fixture. Alternatively, the second part124 of the sleeve 120 may be glided into the beam and tagged to affix the beam and the sleeve, and the permanent affixation may be performed once the structure, for example, the building is ready. In an exemplary embodiment, post the second part 124 of the sleeve 120 being glided into/onto the beam 130 and affixed therein, the first part 122 of the sleeve 120 is glided into the connection 110 and the cavity 150 in the first part 122 of the sleeve 120 locks into the positioning stub 160 of the connection 110 and the two may be affixed. In an exemplary embodiment, the first part 122 of the sleeve 120 may be fastened to the connection 110 and the second part 124 of the sleeve 120 may be fastened to the beam 130 by a fastener and/or a glue and/or a screw and/or a nut and bolt system and/or a weld and/or fused and/or crimped and/or friction fitted and/or a combination thereof. It should be obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art that other methods of fastening may be used, and all such methods of fastening may fall within the scope of the present disclosure.
In an exemplary embodiment, the assembly creating the structure advantageously allows seamless passage of utilities 140 that may be is materialized via the beam 130 and the central hollow section 105 either unidirectionally and/or bidirectionally. In an exemplary embodiment, the utilities 140 may include at least one of an electrical wiring and/or water piping and/or air conditioning and/or gas piping and/or vacuum lines and/or ventilation and/or sanitary lines and/or a combination thereof. It should be obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art that other utilities not mentioned herein may also be materialized via the beam 130 and the central hollow section 105 throughout the build structure or at specific portions of the structure. In an exemplary embodiment, the beam 130 coupled to the connection 110 of the central hollow section 105 may form vertical portion and/or horizontal portion and/or curved portion and/or angular portion and/or a combination thereof. It should be obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art that various other portions may be formed and all such portion fall within the scope of the present disclosure.
In an exemplary embodiment, a method for forming an assembly is illustrated. The assembly is fabricated by first building a central hollow section 105 with connections 110, wherein the connection 110 are molded around the central hollow section 105 in a pre-determined shape and/or pre-determined size and/or at pre-determined locations. In a further exemplary embodiment, the connection 110 may be provided with a positioning stub 120.
In another exemplary embodiment, the method includes fabricating a sleeve 120, wherein the fabricated sleeve 120 may include a first part 122 and a second part 124, the first part and the second part separated by a joint. In an example the sleeve may be fabricated by a shaped tool or die for giving a desired form to metal by hammering or pressure, such as swage. In a further exemplary embodiment, the first part 122 of the sleeve 120 may be provided with a cavity 150, such that the cavity 150 locks into the positioning stub 160, when the first part 122 of the sleeve is glided into the connection 110. This also ensures proper and correct positioning of the beam 130 from the connection. The exemplary method includes gliding the second part 124 of the sleeve 120 ed into or onto the beam 130, wherein the beam 130 may be at least one of a hollow beam or a solid beam. The exemplary method then includes affixing the second part 124 of the sleeve 120 to the beam 130 by either one of a fastener and/or a glue and/or a screw and/or a nut and bolt system and/or a weld and/or fused and/or crimped and/or friction fitted and/or a combination thereof.
The exemplary method further includes gliding the first part 122 of the sleeve 120 affixed to the beam 130 into the connection 110, and ensuring that the cavity 150 in the first part 122 of the sleeve 120 is placed or positioned into the positioning stub 160, wherein the first part 122 of the sleeve locks into connection 110. After the beam 130 and the connection 110 are positioned, the first part 122 of the sleeve 120 may be affixed by a fastener and/or a glue and/or a screw and/or a nut and bolt system and/or a weld and/or fused and/or crimped and/or friction fitted and/or a combination thereof.
In an exemplary method a structure may be formed by affixing the beam 130 to the connection 110 of the central hollow section 105, wherein the structure comprises a vertical section and/or horizontal section and/or curved section and/or angular section and/or a combination thereof. In an example, the structure could be a temporary structure or a permanent structure such as a building or a home or a canopy or green house or barn storages or hangers or workshops etc. The exemplary method may include passing utilities 140 seamlessly via the beam 130 and the central hollow section 105 either unidirectionally and/or bidirectionally throughout the structure or a portion of the structure, wherein the utilities 140 comprises at least one of an electrical wiring and/or water piping and/or air conditioning and/or gas piping and/or vacuum lines and/or ventilation and/or sanitary lines and/or a combination thereof.
Reference is now made to Figure 1A, which illustrates an exemplary embodiment of an assembly 100A for building a structural segment of a complete structure in accordance with the present disclosure. Connection 110 (also referred to as connection points or connection nodes) are first designed in a way such that the central section forms a hollow chamber, referred to as a central hollow section 105. The connection 110 are placed at pre-determined positions around the central hollow section 105. The connections 110 may be of a different shape and/or different sizes around the central hollow section 105. Each connection 110 may be provided with holes 155 to accommodate screws or nuts and bolts to fix. A sleeve 120 having as will be illustrated in Figure 1C. A beam 130 is attached to the sleeve 120 at one end and the other end of the sleeve 120 is fabricated such that it glides into the connection 110 and may be affixed into the connection 110. As discussed previously the beam may be a hollow beam or a solid beam and may include at least one of a square shape and/or a rectangular shape and/or a circular shape and/or cylindrical shape and/or a conical shape and/or a polygonal shape and/or octahedral shape and/or a combination thereof. The beam may be fastened/affixed to a first part of the sleeve 120 by a fastener and/or a glue and/or a screw and/or a nut and bolt system and/or a weld and/or fused and/or crimped and/or friction fitted and/or a combination thereof. The beam 130 with the second part of the sleeve 120 may be glided into the appropriate connection 110 and affixed therein by a fastener and/or a glue and/or a screw and/or a nut and bolt system and/or a weld and/or fused and/or crimped and/or friction fitted and/or a combination thereof.
The central hollow section 105 and the beams at the desired locations placed into at the connections 110 may form an assembly 100A, such as a connector assembly, and several such assemblies may be required to form a complete structure. Utilities 140 may pass through seamlessly vias the central hollow section and the beams around the central hollow section forming the assembly 100A. Utilities may include and not be limited to at least one of an electrical wiring and/or water piping and/or air conditioning and/or gas piping and/or vacuum lines and/or ventilation and/or sanitary lines and/or a combination thereof.
The connections 110 and the beams 130 along with the sleeve 120 forming the assembly 100A may include at least one of vertical segment and/or horizontal segment and/or curved segment and/or angular segment and/or a combination thereof. Once the beam 130 with the sleeve 120 is glided into the connection 110 and positioned in the required manner, the connection 110 and the beam 130 may be fixed permanently. Once the beam is glided into the connection, the beam is held in position by a positioning stub (described in Figure 1D), wherein the beam may be adjusted before forming a permanent fixture. In an example, techniques such as flow weld may be used to permanently fix the connection 110 and the beam130, in addition and not limiting to the other techniques mentioned above. Once the assembly is formed, advantageously utilities may seamlessly pass though the assembly and the structure itself. The connections, the sleeve and the beam may be Metals or PVC or Plastic, or Fiber, or Wood, or from any other materials and may be a combination of these thereof. In an exemplary embodiment, the assembly may be a mixture of a metal based connection with a metallic sleeve and metallic beam and/or a PVC based connection with a PVC sleeve and a PVC beam or could be an admixture of metal and PVC. Essentially it should be obvious to a person of ordinary skill in the art that inorganic compounds in solid form or organic compounds in solid form may be used for fabricating the connections 110, the sleeves 120 and the beams 130.
Reference is now made to Figure 1B, which illustrates an exemplary embodiment of another assembly 100B for building a structural segment of a complete structure in accordance with the present disclosure. It should be obvious to a person skilled in the art that only a limited exemplary assembly are disclosed herein and there are probably infinite number of such possible assemblies that may be created based on the design. Alongside the figure with reference numerals illustrated is an exemplary prototype of the assembly of the central hollow section 105 with connections 110 placed pre-determined locations, and the bottom end closed with a plate 145 to allow seamless passage of utilities in the assembly.
The unique feature of the assembly is that the joints are seamless and the utilities 140 pass through the assembly 100B seamlessly. As discussed previously with respect to Figure 1A, the central hollow section 105 has connections 110 at predetermined locations, which may also be in a predetermined shape and/or size. A beam 130 may be affixed to a first part of a sleeve 120. The second part of the sleeve 120 is glided into the connection at positioned at the connection before forming a permanent fixture. In the exemplary illustration, one side of the central hollow section 105 is covered with a plate 145 restricting movement of utilities along that direction.
The assembly 100B as illustrated in Figure 1B is a different type of assembly which may be used advantageously at the foundation or base level or at the ceiling wherein one end of the central hollow section needs to be closed. This is in contract to the assembly 100A of Figure 1A where the connections are radially placed around the central hollow section, in assembly 100B, one end, in this case the bottom end, of the central hollow section 105 is covered with a plate 145. In the exemplary assembly 100B the bottom end 145 form the closed end and may be used as the foundation pillar assembly for the structure. It should be obvious to a person of ordinary skill in the art that any other side or multiple sides may be closed. For example, the left and right side may be closed, allowing seamless passage of utilities along the vertical axis. Similarly for example, the top side and bottom side may be closed allowing seamless passage of utilities in the horizontal direction. In another example, as illustrate herein, seamless passage of utilities may be possible in three directions. In another example (not shown in the Figure), if there are multiple connections at different angles around the central hollow section, and all these may be open or some may be closed selectively depending on the use, then utilities may pass seamlessly via those open connections and beams, and restricted along the closed sections, which for example may be used as a support or an extended design.
Reference is now made to Figure 1C, which illustrates an exemplary embodiment of a sleeve 120 in accordance with the present disclosure. A prototype of the sleeve 120 with a beam 130 inserted into the second part 124 of the beam 130 is illustrated. The first part 122 of the sleeve shown as open ended is the end that glides into the connection 110 and is positioned and affixed into the connection 110.
The sleeve 120 comprises essentially of two parts. A first part 122 of the sleeve 120 is designed to glide into the connection 110 and be attached to the connection 110 (as has been described above). The second part 124 of the sleeve 120 is designed to be inserted into or onto a beam 130. The second part 124 of the sleeve 120 may be affixed to the beam 130 by methods described previously. It should be obvious to a person of ordinary skill in the art that the prototype and the Figure are only illustrative and the sleeve may be made in different shapes and sizes and may be angled or curved or may a combination thereof. For example, as illustrated the sleeve may be square shaped on both sides, i.e. the first part and the second part. In another example, the first part of the sleeve may be square and the second part of the sleeve may be circular to accommodate different design features. In yet another example, the first part of the sleeve and the second part of the sleeve may be at different angles, such as 30 degrees, 45 degrees etc. In yet another example, the sleeve may be a semi circular shaped. It should therefore be obvious that several different shapes, sizes and combination are possible for fabricating the sleeves based on the required design of the final structure.
Reference is now made to Figure 1D, which illustrates an exemplary embodiment of a locking mechanism 100D of the sleeve and connector in accordance with the present disclosure. A prototype of a square shaped sleeve is illustrated alongside and a hollow central section with a base plate at the bottom and a beam positioned to the top portion of the connection for the assembly is illustrated.
Parts of the sleeve have been described previously with respect to Figure 1C. Essentially, the first part 122 of the sleeve 120 is provided with a cavity 150. The connections are provided with positioning stubs 160 (see prototype alongside). The beam 130 is first affixed to the second part 124 of the sleeve 120. The first part 122 of the sleeve 120 is then glided into the connection 110, wherein the cavity 150 is configured to accommodate the positioning stub 160, thereby positioning the beam firmly into the connection 110. The beam may be adjusted as required and them permanently affixed to the connection (see prototype, wherein is illustrated the beam being affixed to the connection)
Reference is now made to Figure 1E, which illustrates an exemplary embodiment of another assembly 100E for building a structural segment of a complete structure in accordance with the present disclosure. Figure 1E essentially illustrated one assembly having connections radially in all six directions. The hollow central section 105 may be permanently fixed at one end as illustrated in Figure 1B. However, sometime while designing structures it may not be possible to design assemblies that are closed at a particular end(s). Therefore, a separate connector 170 made be fabricated, which may be inserted into the connection 110 to form a closed loop. The advantage of using connectors 170 is that un-used portions of the connections may be capped to ensure safety of the structure.
Reference is now made to Figure 1F, which illustrates an exemplary embodiment of a portion of a structure 100 formed using the assembly in accordance with the present disclosure. The portion of the structure basically illustrates the assemblies 100A with the beam 130 having different shapes, different sizes and connections in the assemblies at different angles. The figure is only illustrative in nature and it should be obvious to a person of ordinary skill in the art that different dimensions, shapes, sizes and angles may be fabricated to form a desired structure. For example, to create an inclined roof, the assemblies may have at least one connection at an angle at a particular angle at the top and thereafter the angle of the connection of subsequent assemblies may be configured accordingly to create a sloped roof for a structure.
Reference is now made to Figure 2, which illustrates an exemplary structure 200 built using the assembly disclosed in Figures 1A to 1F in accordance with the present disclosure. The structure shows a gird like structure forming the base 210 coupled by assemblies suing horizontal beams. Each of the assemblies at the grid point may be coupled with a vertical column 220 or a column in a vertical direction at an angle. Illustrated the vertical sections at the sides are smaller in length than the vertical columns towards the center. An assembly of angled connections may be provided to form an angled roof 230. The structure shown in here using the assembly of the connections and beams is only illustrative in nature and it should be obvious to a person of ordinary skill in the art that various different structures with high stability and low cost may be fabricated using the present disclosure, and the utilities pass through seamlessly within the beams and the connections as per the requirement and design pre-conditions.
Reference is now made to Figure 3, which illustrates another exemplary structure 300 built using the assembly disclosed in accordance with the present disclosure. The structure is built using the same design as made for Figure 2 using the connections and beams of the present disclosure and the utilities pass through seamlessly within the beams and assemblies. The structure illustrates a simple house and a two storied house built using the techniques and materials of the present disclosure
Reference is now made to Figure 4, which illustrates another exemplary high rise structure 400 built using the assembly disclosed in accordance with the present disclosure. Because different shapes and sizes may be used for creating the structure, multi-level structures or high rise structures with high stability may be constructed with the advantage that the utilities pass through the beams and connections thereby saving cost and allowing efficient use of space.
Although the operations of the method according to the embodiments of the present disclosure are described in a specific order in the drawings, it does not require or imply that these operations have to be performed in that specific order, or a desired result can only be achieved by performing all of the illustrated operations. On the contrary, the steps illustrated in the flow diagrams may change their execution order. Additionally or alternatively, some steps may be omitted, a plurality of steps may be combined into one step for execution, and/or one step may be decomposed into a plurality of steps for execution. It should also be noted that the features and functions of two or more modules according to the embodiments of the present disclosure may be embodied in one module. In turn, features and functions of one module described above may also be further divided into a plurality of modules for embodiment.
