Abstract
This invention is a connector that gains versatility by virtue of its specific shape and proportions. The connector will interface two rods at right angles. Versatility is displayed by forming closely packed clusters.
Claims2
The geometry and proportions of a solid whose shape is defined by the outline of a square of unit length which traces over directions perpendicular to the plane of said square;
- first, the square traces over a circular path so as to sweep out a three-unit diameter cylinder with a one-unit diameter concentric cylindrical hole;
- second, the square traces tangently from the said cylinder over a straight line for a distance of three units;
- third, the square traces over a second circular path in a plane perpendicular to said first circular path and also tangent to said straight line so as to sweep out a second three-unit diameter cylinder with a one-unit diameter concentric cylindrical hole;
- the faces of the two three-unit diameter cylinders lie in planes perpendicular to each other.
