Abstract:
A method of assembling a structure from several parts, said method comprising the steps of:(a) providing two separate types of parts, a first of said types of parts having at least two oppositely disposed balls and the second of said types of parts having at least two oppositely disposed sockets, any one of said balls and any one of said sockets sized and shaped to form a ball and socket joint; (b) providing a plate having at least one groove therein, said groove being dimensioned to receive said parts and formed in the configuration of said structure; (c) placing said parts in said groove with said first and second types of parts alternating with each other, whereby each ball confronts a socket; (d) covering said groove to prevent a displacement of said parts from said groove; and (e) simultaneously applying pressure on opposite ends of said groove for forcing said balls into said sockets, thereby forming an assembled linkage of said parts joined by ball and socket joints.
