Abstract
Abstract A structure made up of several components, particularly for use in classrooms is described which comprises at least two basic elements, each of said basic elements comprising an L-shaped panel and a T-shaped base parallel to said L-shaped panel and three vertical legs connecting said L-shaped panel to said T-shaped base, two of said legs being mounted at the extremity of the short sides of said T-shaped base and one leg being mounted at the extremity of the long side of the T-shaped base, said L-shaped panel having a plurality of blind orifices along the edge located at a modular distance, said T-shaped base being provided with a plurality of orifices, and a plurality of pins for insertion into the blind orifices of said L-shaped panel for connection of at least two basic elements. The connection between a plurality of basic elements is additionally achieved by means of rectangular boards having two orifices at the extremities and two smaller orifices in the center of the edge of the longer sides of said rectangular boards or rectangular boards having a plurality of orifices at modular distance.
