Geometric modeling kit and method of making same

Abstract From the Canadian patent

A geometrical structural system is made up of a plurality of nodes and shape-coded connectors extending therebetween, each node having a plurality of outer polygonal elements. The outer edges of each element are bordered by end edges of other elements and each element has an opening therethrough corresponding to the outer side edges of each element. Each opening extends radially into a hollow space centrally of each node. The connectors are elongated and have opposed connecting ends with a crosssectional configuration corresponding to a cross-sectional configuration of an opening in one of the element faces for insertion therein. The steps involved in making the nodes includes tooling a …
