Self-Alining, Latching Joint For Folding Structural Elements
Abstract
Structural column elements assembled quickly and easily with aid of new center joint. Joint alines column elements automatically and fastens them together securely. Tapered half columns are stacked like paper cups, unfolded, and connected to other similar elements to form truss structures.
