Abstract:
1. A construction combination, comprising: a large construction element including a conjoined pair of large octahedral sections arranged in a side by side configuration, the pair of large octahedral sections sharing a large common member; a first conjoined pair of large tetrahedral sections disposed adjacent to the octahedral sections so constructed and arranged to join together the pair of large octahedral sections, each large tetrahedral section sharing the large common member also shared by the pair of large octahedral sections; a second conjoined pair of large tetrahedral sections disposed adjacent to the large octahedral sections so constructed and arranged that the large octahedral sections alternate with a pair of large tetrahedral sections along the longitudinal length of the large construction element; the cross sectional shape of the large construction element being trapezoidal extending throughout an entire axial length; each octahedral section comprising twelve large linear members only and each large tetrahedral section comprising six large linear members only, three of said six large linear members each being shared in common with three of said large twelve members forming one of the pair of the large octahedral sections; wherein each of the large linear members of both the large octahedral section and the large tetrahedral section have substantially the same length; a first small construction element being substantially similar in construction relative to the large construction element, the small construction element having small linear members forming a plurality of octahedral and tetrahedral sections, the large linear members being substantially twice as long as the small linear members; a second small construction element being of like construction relative to the first small construction element, the first and second small construction elements being positioned partially through and properly mated with an opening in the large construction element; the large construction element including a pair of first and second adjacent triangular elongated unobstructed large passageways extending the entire axial length of the trapezoidal construction element, the pair of first and second large passageways each having a cross sectional shape in the form of triangles being joined together by large shared linear members and extending the entire axial length of the large trapezoidal construction element for receiving the small construction elements and permitting the small construction elements to extend through at least the end portion of the large construction element; each one of the small construction elements being at least partially disposed within one of the first and second large passageways and each having a pair of small adjacent triangular elongated unobstructed equipment receiving passageways extending the entire axial length of each of the small construction elements; each one of the small equipment receiving passageways having a cross sectional shape in the form of triangles each formed by a pair of small substantially equal sized linear members joined together by small shared linear members and extending the entire length of the small construction element; the small shared linear members of each small construction element extending substantially parallel to the large shared linear members and the small substantially equal sized linear members converging at a point near the large shared linear members; the axes of each small construction element being disposed parallel to the central axis of the large construction element on either side thereof to add strength to the large outer construction element; and the first and second small construction elements being pegged to the large construction element to provide tension release to help prevent denigrating the structure of the construction combination.
