Patent ID: 8096085

Claim:
Connecting node for constructing a three-dimensional framework, wherein the connecting node comprises at least one connecting arrangement for connection with other identical connecting nodes by way of a definable number of basic structural elements engaging with the respective connecting node, wherein the connecting node is configured as a disk having a predefinable number of keyholes, with each of the keyholes being penetrated by a corresponding connecting means and engaging with a receiving element attached on the basic structural elements, such that each basic structural element is rotatably supported in a formed first connecting arrangement and configured to be pre-adjusted and subsequently attached at arbitrary predefinable angles, wherein, on at least one keyhole on a side of the disk facing the basic structural element between the disk and the basic structural element, there is arranged a safety clip with a safety clip opening at a fixed predeterminable position on the disk, wherein the safety clip attaches the basic structural element non-rotatably on the disk by way of a second connecting arrangement, thereby absorbing the torque of the disk in the basic structural element.
