Definitions

  • the invention relates to coherent spatial structures composed of generally prismatic form bodies.
  • Such structures may be utilized e.g. for the erection of attractive room-dividing walls for exhibition purposes, as sculptural building components or play bricks providing a challenge to fantasy.
  • a system of such form bodies comprises three main groups of form bodies that can be used together or separately.
  • a first main group comprises bodies having a cubic base structure with extensions or depressions in the form of pyramid structures
  • a second and a third main group comprise generally prismatic bodies with cross-sectional profiles in the form of an equilateral triangle or an isosceles orthogonal triangle with end sections in the form of pyramidal extensions or depressions adapted to the profile of the prismatic body.
  • the form bodies of this prior art concept may be solid bodies or frame structures, or they can be made as foldable bodies.
  • a coherent spatial structure comprising at least two generally prismatic form bodies each composed of a main section of rhombic cross-sectional shape, which is identical for said at least two form bodies, and first and second end sections, each comprising two pyramid configurations, each having a base in the shape of an equilateral triangle and forming a depression into or an extension of said main section, said structure further comprising a connecting body of a generally prismatic form for connecting said two form bodies into said spatial structure, said prismatic form having a triangular cross-section defining a rectangular surface and two end faces in the form of identical isosceles triangles projecting from opposite sides of said rectangular surface at right angles thereto and having legs of the same length as the side length of the base of each end section of said form bodies, at least one of said end faces being connected with connecting means for connecting said connecting body with two of said form bodies, said end faces having an apex angle selected from a limited number of angle values.
  • the limited number of angle values comprises the values 30°, 60°, 90°, 120° and 150°.

  • the flange parts 114 are identical and take the form of an orthogonal isosceles triangle of the same size as the first and second triangular wall parts of the end sections of the form bodies.
  • connection of a connecting body to two form bodies 107 which are to be interconnected in the spatial structure is provided by bending one flange part 114 of the connecting body into a depression in an end section of the relevant form body 107 formed by one of the two pyramid configurations of the end section and the connection may be locked by positioning another form body on the top, said other for body having at its lower end section a downwards extension formed by one of the two pyramid configurations and matching the pyramid depression in the first form body.
  • a connecting body 109 is ideally connected between two prismatic columns each composed of three form bodies 107 stacked on top of each other by inserting each flange part 114 of the connecting body between mating triangular side faces 115 and 116 of a pyramidal depression in the top end section of a lower form body and a downwards pyramidal extension of the lower end section of an upper form body, respectively.
  • the form body in fig. 5 comprises a main section A composed of a first pair of rectangular side walls 1 and 2 and a second pair of rectangular side walls 3 and 4 which are all identical and are pivotally interconnected along parallel first side edges 5, whereby in the erected condition the main section A will have the shape of a prism with a rhombic cross-sectional form.
