Abstract

A universal connecting rod assembly contains: multiple elongated rods, and a respective one elongated rod includes an upper face and a lower face opposite to the upper face. The upper face has a slot and a first male multi-angle connection portion. The lower face has a groove and a first female multi-angle connection portion. The upper face also has at least one trench and a second male multi-angle connection portion. The lower face has at least one notch defined and a second female multi-angle connection portion. In addition, the at least one notch is not aligned with the at least one trench. The respective one elongated rod further includes multiple spaced through orifices passing therethrough, and a respective one through orifice has at least one hexagonal hole defined on at least one end thereof.

Claims (14)

1 . A universal connecting rod assembly comprising:

multiple elongated rods, and a respective one elongated rod including an upper face and a lower face opposite to the upper face;

wherein the upper face has a slot defined on a side thereof, and a first male multi-angle connection portion adjacent to a head end of the slot;

wherein the lower face has a groove defined on a side thereof, and a first female multi-angle connection portion proximate to a distal end of the groove;

wherein the upper face also has at least one trench defined close to a center thereof, and a second male multi-angle connection portion formed on the at least one trench;

wherein the lower face has at least one notch defined close to a center thereof, and a second female multi-angle connection portion, wherein the at least one notch is not aligned with the at least one trench; and

wherein the respective one elongated rod further includes multiple spaced through orifices passing therethrough, and a respective one through orifice has at least one hexagonal hole defined on at least one end thereof.

2 . The universal connecting rod assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first male multi-angle connection portion and the second female multi-angle connection portion are adjustably connected in any one shape of a connection of a polygonal column and a polygonal hole, a connection of multiple teeth, a connection of multiple squares, a connection of multiple arcuate protrusions, a connection of multiple columns and recessed holes, and a connection of multiple protrusions and recesses.

3 . The universal connecting rod assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the multiple elongated rods are configured to mate with multiple first connectors and multiple second connectors to connect a three-dimensional frame, wherein a respective one first connector includes three axial protrusions, two first male multi-angle connection portions of two of the three axial protrusions, and a second female multi-angle connection portion of the other axial protrusion; a respective one second connector includes three axial projections, two second male multi-angle connection portions of two of the three axial projections, and a first male multi-angle connection portion of the other axial projection.

4 . The universal connecting rod assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the multiple elongated rods are connected to form a daily necessity.

5 . The universal connecting rod assembly as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the daily necessity is a coat hanger.

6 . The universal connecting rod assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the multiple elongated rods are connected to form commercial supplies.

7 . The universal connecting rod assembly as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the commercial supplies are any one of a flagpole, a triangle, a circle, a billboard, an advertising sign and a display stand.

8 . The universal connecting rod assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the multiple elongated rods are configured to mate with multiple third connectors, multiple fourth connectors, and multiple fifth connectors; wherein a respective one third connector includes at least one first male multi-angle connection portions formed on at least one surface of the respective one third connector, and the respective one third connector includes at least one second female multi-angle connection portion formed on other surfaces of the respective one third connector; a respective one fourth connector includes at least one first male multi-angle connection portions formed on at least one surface of the respective one fourth connector, and the respective one fourth connector includes at least one second female multi-angle connection portion formed on other surfaces of the respective one fourth connector; a respective one fifth connector includes at least one first male multi-angle connection portions formed on at least one surface of the respective one fifth connector, and the respective one fifth connector includes at least one second female multi-angle connection portion formed on other surfaces of the respective one fifth connector.
