ABSTRACT:
A cube comprising a first set (18) of three identical, contiguous faces and a second set (19) of three identical, contiguous faces. The first set (18) has third order rotational symmetry about a common corner (20) and comprises a first face (22). The first face (22) comprises a male connector fin (36A), a female connector slot (38A), a first band (28A), and a second band (30A). The male connector fin (36A) and female connector slot (38A) lie parallel to, adjacent to, and on opposite sides of a diagonal (34) emanating from the common corner (20). The first band (28A) parallels the diagonal (34) and connects the midpoints of two edges of the first face (22). The second band (30A) mirrors the first band across the diagonal (34). The first set (18) and the second set (19) are enantiomers. Accordingly, a plurality of these cubes can be snapped together, face-to-face, to manifest a variety of tessellating band patterns.
