  • Projecting structures can only be mechanically balanced with certainty when mechanical interlocking members are engaged with each other at the surfaces to be joined, these mechanical interlocking members being completely independent of the electrical contacting.
  • a particularly high degree of mechanical stability can be ensured by the fact that the mechanical locking members at a greater radial distance from the center of the area of the adjacent congruent Surfaces are arranged as the electrical contacts, wherein preferably the mechanical locking members are arranged on circles within the lateral boundary of the congruent surfaces whose radius is greater than 25% of the edge length of the congruent surface.

  • Such a prismatic design with triangular base and top surfaces makes it possible to design any structures with cantilevered arms, as they are desirable for desk lamps, for example, where it is only necessary that each of the components to be interconnected via congruent surfaces communicate with each other to ensure the desired aesthetics.
  • the training is therefore made so that the two square surfaces have connecting means for fixing adjacent modular components in each case by 90 ° rotatable position.
