The present invention relates to structural couplings for forming of a variety of structures such as floor and wall panels for buildings and internal structures such as hand rails. The structural coupling comprises a structural component or components (1) provided with coupling leg formations (2) and locking flanges (F) and a channel section (8) which interconnect one with the other by means of a snap fit engagement (12) of the leg formations (2) of the structural component (1) with the channel section (8). This has considerable advantages over the prior art where nuts and bolts were needed to fasten the components together. The use of a common channel section which can be engaged by snap fit action provides an elegant and non-limited method of joining structural components together rather than in a direct fashion as with prior systems.
L'invention concerne des raccords structurels permettant de former diverses structures telles que des panneaux de sol ou des panneaux muraux ainsi que des structures internes telles que des mains courantes. Le raccord structurel de cette invention comprend un ou des constituants structurels (1) possédant des formations jambes de raccord (2) et des brides de verrouillage (F) ainsi qu'une section canal (8) qui les relie les unes et les autres au moyen d'un élément d'engagement par pression (12) des formations jambes (2) du constituant structurel (1) avec la section canal (8). Ceci présente des avantages considérables par rapport à l'art antérieur où des écrous et des verrous étaient nécessaires pour assembler les constituants. L'utilisation d'une section canal commune pouvant être engagée par une action de pression constitue un procédé élégant et non limité pour joindre des constituants structurels plutôt que d'une façon directe comme dans les systèmes précédents.
