Abstract

The paper presents an interlocking system designed to fix and hold together the panels of a modular house. The house modules are flat square panels, almost identical, which need to be hold using a locking system. The locking system is a simple, but solid construction, capable to resist to repeated assembling and disassembling operations. It consists of some linkage mechanisms and a ratchet; it is hand-powered in order to ensure a fast mounting of the panels. In this paper are presented all the steps necessary to be followed and the restraints of the design process.
