Framework made from thin-walled round composite fibre rods

A framework of thin-walled, round composite fibre rods comprising a pressure-resistant foam core and walls, said walls comprising at least one layer of axially parallel unidirectional elongate fibres, said framework comprising strut rods, transverse or diagonal rods, and connection elements for connecting said strut rods to said transverse or diagonal rods, said connection elements comprising joint plates of composite fibre material and having a plurality of edges, wherein axially-parallel recesses are provided in said walls of said strut rods, said recesses having a width corresponding to the thickness of said joint plates, and said recesses extending diagonally through said foam core of said strut rods up to the opposite side of said walls of said strut rods, wherein said joint plates are inserted into said recesses and glued at the inward one of said edges to the inside of said walls of said strut rods opposite said recesses, and also glued to said foam core at their widths engaging said strut rods, and wherein said transverse or diagonal rods have ends, said ends being provided with slots, said slots having a width corresponding to said thickness of said joint plates, whereby said slots overlap said joint plates at both sides thereof.
