ABSTRACT:
A hub for use in the construction of the framework of geodesic domes is described. The hub is formed from a plurality of flat generally rectangular leg plates rigidly joined at one end of each plate so that the leg plates extend radially from the junction and are so arranged that the angle between adjacent leg plates is at least 50 degrees. Each leg plate has at least two openings through its side wall sized to receive clamping means such as bolts to permit attachment of the leg plate to one of the struts making up the framework of the dome.
