Abstract: A modular unit connection system for joining together a plurality of box-shaped modular units to form a single or multistory building. The modular building units have elongated hollow structural framing members at their vertical corners and four substantially perpendicular vertical side walls extending between their vertical corner members. The side walls are topped with horizontal framing members which extend between the vertical corner members. The vertical corner members lie within the planes formed by the side walls of the modular units, so that when modular units are laid side by side with their vertical corner members juxtaposed, their vertical corner members and their adjacent side walls abut with no significant space between them. The modular units may be connected at their juxtaposed vertical corner members with generally flat connection plates which overlay the vertical corner members of the modular units being connected and which are fastened to the horizontal framing members adjacent to the vertical corner members. The connection plates may have apertures, which when a connection plate is mounted on an assembly of two, three, or four modular units, overlie the hollow portion of the vertical corner members. Threaded tension rods may extend through the hollow vertical corner members and be coupled to tension rods running through the hollow vertical corner members of vertically aligned modular units forming the successive stories of a multistory modular building.
