Universal hub and strut system for a geodesic enclosure

A universal hub and strut system for assembling a geodesic enclosure, the universal hub and strut system comprising:

• a universal hub having a center component with an exterior face, an interior face, a perimeter joining the exterior face to the interior face at a plurality of radii, a center port, and a central axis extending through the center port and perpendicular to the exterior face;
• a strut having a first strut end, a second strut end, and a center shaft extending between the first strut end and the second strut end;
• a first strut-tab and a second strut-tab, wherein the first strut-tab comprises a first tab having a first strut-tab port and a first alignment notch, and the second strut-tab comprises a second tab having a second strut-tab port and a second alignment notch;
• wherein the first strut-tab attaches to the first strut end by aligning the first alignment notch within a first slot opening in the first strut end and inserting the first strut-tab into the first strut end, and the second strut-tab attaches to the second strut end by aligning the second alignment notch within a second slot opening in the second strut end and inserting the second strut-tab into the second strut end;
• a hub-tab affixed along the perimeter of the center component, the hub-tab arrayed at an angle in relation to a plane through the hub and perpendicular to the central axis of the center component and wherein the hub-tab has a hub-tab port;
• the strut-tab port overlapping the first hub-tab port and securing the strut-tab to the first hub-tab via a tab attachment means;
• and
• a plurality of hub caps that attach to the universal hub and strut assembly.
