Abstract (en)
A method of manufacturing a framed structure is described comprising at least a first and a second substantially parallel main elongate structural members with at least one secondary elongate structural member joined between the two main members in a load bearing manner, the main members being separated by a fixed distance and an opening being provided which extends part way along a side face of each main member; the method comprising: inserting a first protrusion located on a first end of the secondary structural member in the opening of the first main member by moving the secondary structural member along a first direction parallel with the longitudinal axis of the secondary member, inserting a second protrusion located on a second end of the secondary structural member in the opening of the second main member by moving the secondary member along a second direction which is the reverse direction of the first direction, interconnecting the secondary member with the main members by a movement of said secondary member to bring the ends of the secondary member into a predetermined position on said main members, said openings and said first and second protrusions co-operating to prevent disengagement of said secondary member from said predetermined position other than by reversal of said movement. <IMAGE>
