Abstract

L'invention porte sur un système et un procédé améliorés d'élaboration de structures démontables, légère, facile à monter et démonter, stables et rigides quand assemblées et nécessitant peu d'espace de rangement quand démontées. Dans les différentes exécutions de l'invention une structure comporte de préférence des poutrelles, des poteaux et des panneaux intercalés. L'assemblage des poutrelles et poteaux se fait de préférence au moyen de connecteurs s'insérant dans les extrémités des poutrelles et poteaux et s'encliquetant sur leurs côtés. Les extrémités des panneaux, spécialement usinées, s'engagent par encliquetage dans des rainures longitudinales spécialement usinées dans les poutrelles et les poteaux. Ces connexions par encliquetage facilitent l'assemblage et donnent des constructions rigides et stables.
