Adaptable framework with cellular structure has each support structure cell provided with 2 sets of edge nodes lying in 2 different planes and at least one further node coupled to edge nodes of one or both sets

摘要

The framework has at least one collapsible support structure cell (91-94) with 2 sets of edge nodes which lie in 2 relatively spaced planes and at least one further node coupled to at least 2 edge nodes of one or both edge node sets via tensile coupling elements. The corresponding edge nodes of the relatively spaced edge node sets are held at a fixed distance apart, e.g. via intermediate coupling struts.
