Injection Molded Slotted Angled Dome Connector
The invention provides a unique injection-molded, slotted, angled hub that connects standard timbers at predetermined angles to build geodesic domes. They form fit over the ends of multiple timbers to transfer load evenly, limit strut rotation and movement, and aid in easy construction of domes. Furthermore they include screw holes that help to snug the timbers flush into its slot to form a durable structure. Being injection molded, they are cost effective, lightweight and through multi directional load transfer, allow lightweight timbers to be used in maximizing the strength at each union. Building with molded slotted angled dome connectors one can assemble a geodesic dome without calculating angled cut for each timber.An Injection Molded Slotted Angled Dome ConnectorThis invention provides a novel one-piece injection molded hub that form-fits around timbers to form a geodesic dome without the need for angled cuts.
