Abstract: A flat pattern is disclosed for forming a three-dimensional structure known as the Great Dodecahedron. The pattern consists of twelve regular pentagons, laid out as for the pattern for a simple dodecahedron on paper or cardboard or similar material. Creases are formed lying along the major diagonals of the twelve pentagons, and the structure is assembled by joining the edges of the pattern with adhesive tape, or tabs, or tabs and slots.

Abstract: A kite is disclosed having a main body portion fabricated of a flexible material and having a pair of leading edges diverging generally rearwardly from a forward apex, with a strut fixed to each edge to hold it rigid. The body portion is folded to provide a central longitudinal double-ply pleat, and another central strut is disposed and fixed along the pleat. The pair of diverging struts each have a pocket wherein the respective end of a cross-strut is disposed. The cross-strut is secured to the central strut at the point where the two cross. For added strength with decreased weight the portions of the kite are held together with a suitable adhesive tape.
