  • Patent number: 8312802
    Abstract: A toroidal cloth is provided comprising a plurality of closed-loop toroids interconnected together, the method comprising: providing a first toroid having a first proximal portion and a distal portion; providing a second toroid having a second proximal portion and distal portion; providing a third toroid having a third proximal portion and distal portion; overlapping the second toroid and the third toroid; forming an interconnection between the first, second and third toroids by looping the first proximal portion through the second and third toroids, the first proximal portion passing through the interior of the first toroid adjacent to the first distal portion to cause the first distal portion to be positioned adjacent to the second and third proximal portions; and wherein the interconnection and each subsequent interconnection is formed to provide a triangulated toroidal cloth structure.

  • Patent number: 7861634
    Abstract: The present invention provides a toroidal structure comprising a plurality of closed-loop toroids interconnected together, each toroid having a body defining an interior, the toroidal structure comprising: a first toroid of the plurality of toroids having a first proximal portion and a first distal portion; a second toroid of the plurality of toroids having a second proximal portion and a second distal portion; and an interconnection between the first and the second toroid formed by looping the first proximal portion around the body of the second toroid and passing through the interior of the first toroid adjacent to the first distal portion to cause the first distal portion to be positioned adjacent to the second proximal portion.
