Abstract
Abstract Disclosed herein are rapidly assembled walls and columns, wherein the walls and columns are made of wasted wooden material, wood, marble, lime stone, tile, compressed stone powder FRP, glass, calcium silicate plate, while the inner components are made of metals as steel, stainless steel, and aluminum alloy, and reinforced plastics, carbon fiber and fire-proof plastics. The method of assembling rapidly assembled walls and columns comprises A, B, C, D and E five assembly modes, these modes are commonly characterized by applying an idea of exquisite, simple and progressive through making use of wooden block principle. Every person who is an amateur in construction work can construct his own house in DIY way according to the steps illustrated and using materials provided in the present invention. The products made of the present invention may be used as inner and outer walls, columns, interior decoration, landscaping articles, sound isolation member, security fence and ceiling. Moreover, the re-use of wasted materials makes a contribution to environmental protection and beautification, the re-use of wasted materials also serves to reduce the cost of materials and construction.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
157 words
Rapidly assembled walls and columns, comprising: inner and outer wall panels which are assembled from a group of component parts including at least one C-shaped steel column, at least one support frame with at least one fixing hole, at least one steel bar, at least one T-shaped pin, at least one tightening member, and at least one T-shaped groove; and wherein the at least one C-shaped steel column is set in a generally vertical position, the support frame is supported in a generally horizontal position by the C-shaped column, the steel bar is inserted in a generally horizontal position in the fixing hole of the support frame, the at least one T-shaped groove is formed generally horizontally on an inwardly facing surface of the inner/outer wall panel, the at least one T-shaped pin is inserted into the T-shaped groove, and the T-shaped pin is tightened to the C-shaped steel column with the at least one tightening member.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
70 words
Rapidly assembled walls and columns according to claim 1, wherein the inner and outer wall panels are made of a material selected from the group consisting of wood, wooden scrap material, marble, limestone, tile, compressed stone powder, FRP, glass and calcium silicate; and wherein the component parts are made of a material selected from the group consisting of steel, stainless steel, aluminum alloy, reinforced plastic, carbon fiber and fire-proof plastic.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
34 words
Rapidly assembled walls and columns according to claim 1, further comprising: an internal cavity for receiving steel bars, providing a passage for electrical and water conduits, or filling with waste materials/debris to enhance strength.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
148 words
An assembly method for rapidly assembling walls and columns from a group of component parts including at least one C-shaped steel column, at least one support frame with at least one fixing hole, at least one steel bar, at least one T-shaped pin, at least one tightening member, and at least one T-shaped groove, the method comprising the steps of: setting the C-shaped steel column in a proper position; disposing the support frame relative to the C-shaped column; inserting the steel bar in the fixing hole of the support frame; forming the T-shaped groove on an inwardly facing surface of the inner/outer wall panel; inserting the T-shaped pin into the T-shaped groove; and tightening the T-shaped pin to the C-shaped steel column by extending the T-shaped pin through holes on a side of the C-shaped column and securing the T-shaped pin with the at least one tightening member.
