ABSTRACT:
A cube junction connector comprises six cylindrical receivers which extend from the cube and into which bottle caps can be inserted and locked. The cube is constructed from a flat cruciform blank with living hinges between square panels, comprising the cylindrical receivers. The panels are folded into a cube and locked together using male snaps interfitted with female snap receivers. A flange circumventting the edge of the cylinder, acting as a lock, holds and secures the bottom of the bottle cap in the cylinder. Rivets comprise two male snap members secured to one another at a base, and may be divided into two parts to allow for flexibility. The rivets are used in preformed openings in the bases of the bottles and secure one bottle base to another bottle base. Plastic bottles are joined together as building elements for structures.
