ABSTRACT:
A simplified hub and strut system for the construction and assembly of geodesic domes. The system is characterized by the outer faces of the hubs and struts being provided with recessed rabbets which function as shoulders for receiving flat nesting panels of transparent or opaque rigid sheet material comprising the outer skin of an assembled dome. The inner faces of the struts are desirably also provided with recessed rabbets to function as shoulders on which to seat interior panels of rigid sheet material. The system is also characterized by the use of aligning dowels to facilitate initial assembly of hubs and struts preliminary to fastening.
