发明名称 Spherical object formed of several joint parts and method for producing spherical object formed of several joint parts
摘要 A spherical object formed of several joint parts and a method for producing a spherical object formed of several joint parts, where the spherical object includes at least twenty pieces of hexagonal panel type elements and at least twelve pieces of pentagonal panel type elements. The radius of curvature of each panel type element is shaped in such a way that, when assembled, the elements make up a hollow spherical object with a radius of not less than 1.5 meters. Each panel type element is additionally provided with an attachment and handling cap.

主权项 1. A spherical object, comprising: at least twenty curved hexagonal panel type elements; and at least twelve curved pentagonal panel type elements; wherein each panel type element includes an attachment and handling cap, each attachment and handling cap including an internal gripper element that is configured to be graspable from within the spherical object, and an external gripper element that is configured to be graspable from outside the spherical object; and each panel type element is configured such that, when assembled, the elements form a hollow spherical object with a radius of not less than 1.5 meters that can be moved by the external and internal gripper elements.
