Patent ID: 7527845

Claim:
A non-textile fabric comprising: a. at least a first element having at least three sides, each side defining a first connection structure having an axis of rotation, which axes intersect in the form of a right triangle; b. at least a second element having at least three sides, each of said sides defining a second connection structure having an axis of rotation, which axes intersect in the form of a right triangle; and c. wherein said at least first and at least second elements are attached together using said connection structures, and in turn are attached together with similarly attached first and second elements using said connection structures to form out of at least some intersecting axes of rotation the general shape of a parallelogram in a repeating manner to form the non-textile fabric having at least three major bending axes, said first and second connection structures, when connected together, form a hinge along the connected sides of the first and second elements, the hinge having a solid structure with substantially no gaps or spaces.
