Benefits of technology

"The present invention is a modular building system that allows for the efficient and effective construction of structures. The system includes tube sections, removable connectors, and geometrically shaped panels that engage with the connectors to form a structural skeleton. The panels can have a pre-finished surface and provide additional strength to the structure. The system also allows for the routing of electrical wiring, plumbing lines, ventilation ducts, and communications cabling within the panels. The invention provides a method of construction using the modular building system. Overall, the invention improves construction efficiency and flexibility while providing a structurally sound and aesthetically pleasing building."

Problems solved by technology

Each system has its own advantages and disadvantages based on cost, complexity, ease of construction, weight, strength, versatility, and durability.

Embodiment Construction

[0034] While this invention is susceptible of embodiments in many different forms, there are shown in the drawings, and will herein be described in detail, preferred embodiments of the invention with the understanding that the present disclosure is to be considered as an exemplification of the principles of the invention and is not intended to limit the broad aspect of the invention to the embodiments illustrated.

[0035] The present invention is a modular building system having a selection of tube sections 100, a selection of removable connectors 110, and a selection of panel sections 120. The removable connectors 110 are used to connect the tube section 100 together to form a structural skeleton 130. The structural skeleton 130 can have a variety of geometrically shaped sides 140. The panel sections 120 structurally attach to the structural skeleton 130 formed from the tube sections 100 and the removable connectors 110. In various embodiments, the removable connectors 110 can be re...

Abstract

A modular building system that has three main components: a selection of tube sections, a selection of removable connectors that can connect multiple tube sections together at various angles to form a structural skeleton having geometrically shaped sides, and a selection of geometrically shaped structural panels that structurally engage the geometrically shaped side panels of the structural skeleton is disclosed. The removable connectors may be removed after the panel sections are installed. The panel sections can provide additional structural support and strength to the structural skeleton with the inclusion of additional bracing and supports. The panel sections can also have a pre-finished surface. The panel sections may also have additional features to facilitate construction, such as providing for insulation, the routing of electrical wiring, plumbing lines, ventilation ductwork, or communications cabling.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates to building systems, and more specifically to a modular building system. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] A simple and versatile building system has been sought for generations. From the first attempts to construct their own shelters, mankind has continually looked for innovative ways to build. There are many building systems in use today. Each system has its own advantages and disadvantages based on cost, complexity, ease of construction, weight, strength, versatility, and durability. In an attempt to reduce cost and improve versatility by standardizing many components, modular building systems are one approach to construction. [0003] A modular construction system is disclosed in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09 / 834,624, by Pries, which was published by the U.S.P.T.O., on Sep. 13, 2001 as Publication No. US2001 / 0020352. The Pries system uses a set of panels and shapes derived from the sides of a cube divided into twen...
