Benefits of technology
The present invention provides a slat for use in a roll-out structure of construction material. The slat includes an elongated body with a projection and a socket, which are structurally complementary to each other. The slat also has a wedge associated with the projection. The slat can be connected to another slat with a gap between them to allow rotation of the projection. The slat also has a ledge and a shelf at its ends, and it has beveled edges. The slat can also have holes and openings in it. The technical effects of this invention include improved stability, durability, and ease of use in construction projects.
Problems solved by technology
For example, assembly and disassembly of the panels are complex and require significant amount labor and time.
Furthermore, the extra connectors, required in addition to the panels, incur additional costs on material and transportation.

Embodiment Construction
[0031]FIG. 1 illustrates a roll-out structure 10, which can be in the form of a rollable sheet, according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. The roll-out structure 10 includes a plurality of slats 100, which are structurally the same or similar. Any two adjacent slats of the roll-out structure 10 are connected to each other to permit the roll-out structure 10 to be deployed in a rollable manner.
[0032]As shown in FIG. 1, a three-dimensional coordinate system is defined. In this coordinate system, each slat extends longitudinally along the X-axis; the jointed slats extend laterally in a rollable manner along the Y-axis; and each slat extends vertically in its thickness along the Z-axis. Preferably, the slats 100 have identical longitudinal, lateral, and / or vertical dimensions, to ensure interchangeability of the slats.
[0033]FIG. 2 is a schematic perspective view showing the structure of a slat 100. The slat 100 is substantially flat and elongated, extending in the lo...

Abstract
A slat for use in a roll-out sheet of construction material is provided. The slat has an elongated body extending longitudinally. A projection is disposed at a first lateral end of the body. A socket is disposed at a second lateral end of the body, opposite to the first lateral end. The projection and the socket are structurally complementary to each other. A wedge is formed with the projection as a self-tightening mechanism. A roll-out structure is also provided. The roll-out structure has at least two adjacent slats which are structurally the same. The projection of one of the slats is insertable into the socket of the other slat to connect them, and the projection is rotatable in the socket. The rotation of the projection in the socket allows the wedge to engage the socket, to lock the slats with each other.
Description
BACKGROUND[0001]This disclosure relates to the field of building materials and more particularly to a universal modular roll-out building material with self-tightening features.[0002]There is a long recognized need for modular construction material, for example, roofing, flooring, roadways and the like, which can be delivered from a remote location, rapidly assembled and deployed, and easily removed when it is no longer required.[0003]Traditionally, the modular construction material includes a series of panels which can be linked or jointed to form a roofing or roadway having a flat surface. The panels are laid according to a predetermined pattern (for example, side by side) and, subsequently, assembled with each other by using connectors, including straps, cords, adhesives, metal fasteners and the like.[0004]The known construction material has several drawbacks. For example, assembly and disassembly of the panels are complex and require significant amount labor and time. Furthermor...
