Patent ID: 8042312

Claim:
A reinforced composite material manufactured by filling with a resin, a ceramic or a metal the empty space of a three-dimensional wire-woven truss-type cellular light structure formed of six groups of orientational-continuous-wires intercrossed with each other at angles of 60 degrees or 120 degrees in a three-dimensional space, the cellular light structure comprising a plurality of unit cells, each unit cell of the cellular light structure comprising: a) a first regular tetrahedron member formed of first to sixth wires, the first regular tetrahedron member being constructed in such a manner that the first wire, the second wire, and the third wire are intercrossed in a plane, the fourth wire is intercrossed with the intersection point of the second wire and the third wire, the fifth wire is intercrossed with the intersection point of the first wire and the second wire, and the sixth wire is intercrossed with the intersection point of the third wire and the first wire, the fourth wire, the fifth wire, and the sixth wire being intercrossed with one another at a single reference intersection point, each side of the first regular tetrahedron member being equilateral; and b) a second regular tetrahedron member contacting the first regular tetrahedron member at the reference intersection point and having a similar shape to the first regular tetrahedron member, the second regular tetrahedron member being constructed in such a manner that the fourth wire, the fifth wire, and the sixth wire pass the reference intersection point and extend further, each of a group of three wires being intercrossed with one wire selected from the extended fourth, fifth and sixth wires and with another wire of the group of three wires so that each side of the second regular tetrahedron member is equilateral, the group of three wires being parallel to the first wire, the second wire, and the third wire respectively; c) wherein the wires are intercrossed with each other at 60 degrees or 120 degrees, each of the wires being curved in a first direction at a first intersection with a first group of two other wires and being curved in a second direction, which is opposite to the first direction, at a second intersection with a second group of two other wires, the second intersection being adjacent to the first intersection, the unit cell being repeated to form the plurality of unit cells in a three-dimensional pattern.
