ABSTRACT:
A joint for use in forming a three-dimensional framed spatial structure for interior use and construction comprising three identical shaped surfaces or wings resembling the corner of a cube, each of the three identical shaped surfaces (4, 5 & 6) comprised of two different segments: the first an L-shaped segment with one hole at the intersection (23) and two holes on each arm of the "L" (26 & 27); the second segment comprising a sector of a circle whose arc measures ninety degrees (4) with a hole in the center (32) to permit attachments. These two different segments are connected on the inside surface (surface A) by a forty-five degree angle and on the outside (surface B) by a ninety-degree angle. Multiple connections and attachments can be made through the four predetermined holes (23, 26, 27, 32) located on each of the three identical shaped surfaces (4, 5, 6). The three identical shaped surfaces are connected by three identical forty-five degree angled surfaces (13, 14, 15) which permit said joint to rest on a surface at a forty-five degree angle from the surface or to be attached to other units at a forty-five degree angle; a fourth smaller angled triangular surface (22) with a hole in the center (43) is located at the point where the three identical shaped surfaces (4, 5, 6) intersect and permits the joint to rest on an angled surface, or alternatively, to interconnect with the angled surface of other similar joints through the hole (43) located in the center of the angled surface (22).
