ABSTRACT:
A hinge joint assembly for flexibly connecting rigid elongated structural components in the construction of modular buildings. More specifically, the joint permits the fastening of struts (rods, tubes, or the like) about a central hub. Each joint assembly includes a plurality of lengths of resilient tubing supported in slot openings in a body member. The flattened portion of the tubing in each slot functions as a hinge for relative movement of the adjacent unflattened portions. The unflattened open end portions of the tubing function as sockets to receive one end of a structural component. Several forms of joint assembly are shown and described.
