    • نبذة مختصرة :
      A structure includes a first body member including a first interfacing side edge and a first interconnecting component at the first interfacing side edge and a second body member identical to the first body member, the second body member including a second interfacing side edge and a second interconnecting component at the second interfacing side edge. The first interconnecting component engages with the second interconnecting component to secure the first body member and the second body member together.
    • Claim:
      1. A structure comprising: a first body member including a first interfacing side edge and a first interconnecting component at the first interfacing side edge; and a second body member including a second interfacing side edge and a second interconnecting component at the second interfacing side edge; wherein the first interconnecting component engages with the second interconnecting component to secure the first body member and the second body member together.
    • Claim:
      2. The structure of claim 1, wherein each of the first interconnecting component and the second interconnecting component includes a wall having a wall length, a coupling flange extending from a wall edge and forming a receiving wall slot between the coupling flange and the wall, and an engaging portion.
    • Claim:
      3. The structure of claim 2, wherein the receiving wall slot of the first interconnecting component receives the engaging portion of the wall of the second interconnecting component, and wherein the receiving wall slot of the second interlocking component receives the engaging portion of the wall of the first interlocking component.
    • Claim:
      4. The structure of claim 1, wherein the first body member is of a unibody construction that is a first half of the structure, and wherein the second body member is of a unibody construction that is a second half of the structure.
    • Claim:
      5. The structure of claim 1, wherein the second body member is identical to the first body member.
    • Claim:
      6. The structure of claim 1, wherein each of the first and second body members includes a top portion, wherein each top portion includes a side surface extending from the top portion adjacent to the interfacing side edge, wherein the side surface includes a planar member extending toward the respective interfacing side edge, and wherein each planar member includes an opening.
    • Claim:
      7. The structure of claim 6, wherein the openings of abutting planar members align when the first and second interconnecting component of the first and second body members are secured together, and further comprising a securing member positioned within the aligned openings of the abutting planar members.
    • Claim:
      8. The structure of claim 7, wherein the securing members comprise a threaded bolt and wing nut.
