Abstract (en)

The struts of a temporary suspended roof structure are interconnected by a modular joint comprising at least one multiple coupling element (3) affording a set of profiled sockets (5) with narrowed access slots (6), and a corresponding set of longitudinal coupling elements (8); the body (9) of each such element (8) is axially aligned with and secured at one end (9a) to the single strut (2), whilst the remaining end (9b) takes the form of a shank (20) terminating in a profiled tip (10) that is matched to the internal profile of the socket (5). With the tips (10) seated in the sockets (5) and the shanks (20) occupying the narrowed slots (6), the relative profiles remain interlocked, with the longitudinal elements (8) retained positively by but ultimately removable from the multiple coupling element (3). <IMAGE>
