Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enhance the efficiencies for assembling and storing a three- dimensional shell-like structure comprising hexagonal structural elements connected to one another. SOLUTION: Twenty hexagonal structural elements 11 are represented as A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S and T in order. Four of the hexagonal structural elements connected to one another in staggered fashion, such as the elements A, B, C, D in Figure 2, are defined as a connecting blocks. Four of the hexagonal structural elements connected to one another in arcuate form, such as the elements A, B, C, D in Figure 5, are defined as γconnecting blocks. Further, the staggered connections among A, B, C, D in Figure 2 are different in staggering direction from the staggered connections among A, B, C, D in Figure 4. To distinguish the staggered connections in Figure 4 from those in Figure 2, the staggered connections of the configuration in Figure 4 are defined as consisting of β connecting blocks. Series connections are represented as α.α.α.α.α. To construct a structure from the series connections shown in Figure 2, connections of A-Q, A-H, B-S, C-G, D-T, E-L, F-J, I-P, K-O, M-T, and N-R are made.
