Binding elements
The invention
  • The problem to be solved:
    To make a new binding system
  • Definition:
    The invention is a connecting element, previously unknown, made up of a rabbet and a tenon.
  • Presentation:
    In a traditional sense is the invention the 21 century version of the ancient cotter, substituting for nails and wood-screws.
    A significant advantage of the invention over traditional jointing methods is its self-pressing cotter-effect. For example: When assembling a door no pressing device is needed and there is no waiting for the glue to bind. The assembling time of a 30 m2 (square meter) wooden house could be reduced by ca 50 %. The invention may score its greatest success in building family houses because no mortar is required.
    When assembling several architectural parts the direction, width and depth of the rabbet will be shaped considering the proper order of succession and the loading conditions. Extrancous tenons are expected to be the most effective.
    This jointing method can be applied in the case of all solids.

  • Application:
    The invention can be applied in several branches of industry, for example : wood industry, toy industry, space research, machine industry, potter’s craft, building industry etc.
  • Advantages:
    The adoption of the method increases effectiveness and lowers costs in the fields of production and assembly.
    -accurate, exact, quick and steady assembling of objects, architectural parts
    -cheap: mass production is possible, only the borings to the tenons are labour- intensive: the result is a pressing join
  • Stage of development: the prototype is completed
  • Documentation available: Yes
