Abstract
A construction system has rods and connectors that may be assembled and disassembled in order to be re-used to construct a variety of geometric figures and other figures. Each connector has a plurality of sockets configured to form joints with the rods. Each socket has a cavity where the cavity has aligned openings. The socket at one of the openings forms an interference fit with an inserted rod.
Claims18
A socket in a connector for a construction system, comprising:
- a receptacle having a top, a bottom and two sides defining a cavity, the cavity having a width and a height where the width is greater than the height;
- and
- a first opening on the cavity,
- wherein the first opening and the cavity are formed and configured to receive a rod at the first opening and into the cavity and to engage with the rod in an interference fit at the top and the bottom of the cavity.
1 more element
A connector in a construction system, comprising:
- a plurality of receptacles, connected around a central axial point,
- each receptacle having a top, a bottom and two sides defining a cavity, the cavity having a width and a height where the width is greater than the height;
- and
- a first opening on the cavity,
- wherein the first opening and the cavity are formed and configured to receive a rod at the first opening and into the cavity and to engage with the rod in an interference fit at the top and the bottom of the cavity.
2 more elements
A construction system, comprising:
- a plurality of rods;
- and
- a plurality of connectors wherein each connector has a plurality of receptacles, connected around a central axial point, each receptacle having a cavity, a first opening on the cavity, and a second opening on the cavity, the second opening aligned with the first opening, each receptacle further having a beam extending from the receptacle adjacent to the second opening, wherein the first opening, the cavity and the second opening are formed and configured to receive a rod from the plurality of rods at the first opening, for the rod to pass through the cavity and for at least a portion of the rod to pass through the second opening, the first opening and the cavity further configured to engage with the rod in an interference fit.
