ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to the manufacturing of structural members which are extremely light but can be highly stressed and are designed as a framework, mainly in the field of aviation but also in other technical fields where the framework supports, as large-volume components, are to have a weight that is as light as possible. Sleeve connectors are provided which are designed so that the tubes to be connected to a framework node are covered in a form-locking manner by means of sleeve parts of a sleeve connector which can be glued adjacent to one another on the nodal point, the whole nodal point with all tubes entering at this point being enclosed by the parts of the sleeve connector.
