Title: Framework of changeable shape
Inventor: BURDON ROBERT LAXTON JOHN
IPC: A63H33/04
Filed: 1984-03-21
Abstract: A framework 10 especially suitable as a child's or adult's plaything or as a teaching aid in which at each node of the framework there is a hexagonal connector 14 providing six pivot journals 18. The journals are either coplanar or three alternate journals are in one plane parallel to another plane in which the other three lie. Rods 12 extend between the connectors and have bores 16 receiving the journals. The framework can be arranged in several shapes including multiple sub- frames 20, 22, 24, 26 defining the outline of a hexahedron; or an elongate shape with all rods extending in the same direction (Fig. 3); or in a flat shape (Fig. 2). The rods pivot independently of each other and make snap-connections with the connectors so that the framework can be dis-assembled to a kit of parts including typically thirty-six rods. Frictional resistance at the pivot connections allows the framework to retain its shape. Other applications include display stands, ornaments, radio or radar antennae and cargo retention. <IMAGE>
