Embodiment Construction
[0128] To illustrate the details of the system, the function of its elements, and the method of constructing those structures with the system, reference is made to the accompanying drawings.
[0129]Figures 1 to 4 show an embodiment showing the basic principles of the torsion of the structural system. In Figures 1 to 4, two types of torsion elements 3, 4 are connected with two types of couplings 1, 6 to form a torsion structure assembly. Torsion elements 3 and 4 are shown as rectangles with rounded cross-section openings to illustrate the principle, but any cross-sectional shape and any element shape can be used for couplings with compatible openings. The couplings 1, 6 shown have cylindrical openings, the coupling 6 has bearings 7 to facilitate free rotation of the torsion elements within the coupling, and the coupling 1 has splined clamps 2 to engage the torsion elements 3, 4 Spline end 5. The purpose of the splined ends 5 engaged by the corresponding splined clamps 2 is t...
