ABSTRACT:
A metal connector for a geodesic dome structure constructed with wood struts. The connector including a cylindrical hub with metal support arms welded to the outer surface of the hub and extending outwardly in spaced pairs. The arms are formed with openings for receiving bolts which register with bolt openings in the wood struts.
In a modified form of the invention, the hubs are formed with internal threads which threadably receive a metal pipe. A second metal connector may be threadably joined to the metal pipe; thereby spacing the connectors for constructing dormers, cupolas doorways, double domes and other peripheral and interior structures.
