The present invention is in the field of modular structures, assembled by way of fastening or attached means, whose purpose is to be used as base support structures for various applications, particularly connecting systems involving plastic or aluminum containers, recipients, bottles or vessels. Particularly, the invention comprises an omnidirectional construction system that includes connectors and terminals to be attached to containers with threaded openings or flat openings and container bases, to which various types of connectors may be attached to.

The disclosure is directed to an elongated geodesic dome with an arched-tunnel section. In some embodiments including: a first adjustable angle hub connector, the first adjustable angle hub connector being a connector of a first plurality of tubular struts, the first plurality of tubular struts being inserted into the first adjustable angle hub connector; a second adjustable angle hub connector, the second adjustable angle hub connector being a connector of a second plurality of tubular struts, the second plurality of tubular struts being inserted into the second adjustable angle hub connector; a third adjustable angle hub connector, the third adjustable angle hub connector being a connector of a third plurality of tubular struts, the third plurality of tubular struts being inserted into the third adjustable angle hub connector. The adjustable angle hub connectors may be removable for adjusting a length of the arched-tunnel section of the elongated geodesic dome.

A joint connector comprising a hub, two registration caps, a bolt assembly or similar means of connecting the components, and at least two wing pairs. The joint connector is adaptable and thus is capable of creating a variety of different joint networks. Joint connectors can be arranged to connect panel frames and panels for regularly faceted structures and asymmetrical or irregularly shaped structures.

A pre-fabricated dome and a spherical structure include strut assembly sets, into which glass panels or synthetic resin transparent plates are to be inserted, are assembled into 5 sets of hexagonal modular assemblies around a pentagonal assembly to build a primary pentagonal modular assembly, and further 5 sets of primary pentagonal modular assemblies, into which upper and lower, (outer and inner) struts are assembled in 2 layers (of outer and inner walls), are interconnected to build a semi-spherical dome, and if 12 sets of primary pentagonal modular assemblies are assembled, a solid cylindrical structure can be built to provide a perfect block between the outdoor and the indoor so that the room temperature will not be affected at all by the outdoor temperature.

A foldable tubular construct/element with one rigid degree of freedom is of a tubular construction formed by a number of single layered annular units which are connected in sequence; each single layered annular unit is of a prism having N ridge lines; two adjacent prisms each having N sides are connected to each other by sharing a polygon with N sides formed on an intersection plane; each prism with N ridge lines is composed of N rigid planar quadrilateral facets; two adjacent single layered annular units comprise N spherical mechanisms formed by the intersections of only four planar quadrilateral facets at each apex; the polygon having N sides formed in the intersection plane of the two adjacent single layered annular units is a planar polygon with an arbitrary number of sides greater than for a triangle; the ridge lines of each prism having N ridge lines are parallel to each other; the connecting ridge lines of the tubular element are coplanar; when the polygon having N sides formed in the intersection plane of the two adjacent single layered annular units is a line-symmetric polygon of even number of sides with at least one diagonal symmetric axis, the plane in which connecting ridge lines of the tubular element are located is perpendicular to one diagonally symmetric axis.

A building system comprising a plurality of tubes, a plurality of connection nodes comprising tubular sections for connection to the tubes, wherein the tubes are arranged to connect between the connection nodes to form a frame for a building, wherein at least one continuous cavity is formed through at least a portion of the nodes and tubes when the nodes and tubes are connected, the building system further comprising fluid tight seals between the tubes and connection nodes to enable fluid to flow through the at least one continuous cavity.

In this invention, Dome structure is constructed by, “Top connector” (TC) connecting to the “Base plates” (BP) by connecting the “Connecting arch's” (CA) and “Middle connectors” (MC), to form a meridian of a doom. “Middle connectors” (MC) are used to connect “Connecting arch's” (CA) to maintain a specific radius vertically for the entire structure, and to connect adjacent “Connecting arch's” (CA's) horizontally with horizontal bars, to maintain the stability of the structure at each horizontal level, as shown in FIG. 33. The “Middle connector's” are also used to attach another layer of similar dome structure to the structure and to attach accessories inside the structure.

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 Connector

This 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.

A temporary shelter that is easy to assemble and disassemble and suitable for use in providing, for example, medical and healthcare services to patients having infectious diseases, as temporary drop-off testing facilities, and/or as emergency housing for the homeless. In one embodiment, the shelters are comprised of one or more modules, which, in turn, are comprised of a PVC pipe structure, a skin covering the structure, zipper doors, and a floor. The modules may be attached to pre-existing structures, attached to other modules to form a larger shelter, or left as a standalone shelter.
