The connecting elements may have two or more tongues projecting at an angle to one another, e.g. at 90‹, for corner connections between primary elements in different planes, or two parallel tongues for connections between coplanar elements. Primary elements of plate-like form are also described, and central apertures of annular elements may be filled with transparent elements.
