ABSTRACT:
A multi-cellular, multi-purpose lattice is constructed from a matrix of elongated members which interdect at 3-dimensional joints at which the members interlock to define a completely rigid joint without the use of fasteners or adhesives. Specific implementations of the invention include an equipment support structure and a bridge. Other refinements to the basic lattice construction include diagonal braces, the narrowing of the elongated members between joints for weight considerations, the radiused treatment of member edges and notches, and other details of construction.
