ABSTRACT:
A web structure includes a generally hexahedron-shaped frame having a plurality of points or vertices oriented in a manner that no more than three points lie in a common plane. Each pair of the points is connected by a line or frame segment and a plane includes three of the points. One line or frame segment passes through the plane and has first and second ends that are generally equidistant from the plane.
