Title:
DENSELY PACKED TENSEGRITY/JOINT
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2008075397
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:

To constitute a mass producible tensegrity/joint with an external force dispersion function and a tensile force adjustment function which is capable of forming a tensegrity structure having a soft strength with a minimum of materials,time and energy.

A protruded joint 81 which clamps sphere caulking materials 61, 62 is provided in a plurality of tensile members 21 formed of fibers with super high strength and high elasticity and low elongation. A recessed joint 30 with a guide slit 52 in a diameter direction and a cylindrical tunnel 40 in an axial direction is provided in a compressive member 10. The protruded joint of the tensile member is fitted to the recessed joint of the compressive member, and finally through a tensile force, a packed structure is formed by bringing the inner wall of the cylindrical tunnel of the recessed joint into point contact with a plurality of the sphere caulking materials of the protruded joint densely, and the packed structure constitutes a dense packed tensegrity/joint 107 which functions as a node on a net work for the tensegrity which is completely closed.
