  • Patent number: 9903107
    Abstract: An improved beam connector providing enhanced means for connecting beams in geodesic spherical or domed dwellings and commercial structures. The improved connector design provides for construction of an entire geodesic frame using only one connector size and shape, and one beam size and shape. The improved connector comprises three angularly spaced apart legs radiating from the center at a downward pitch, each leg for receiving a beam. The top surfaces of each leg may form a dihedral angle for supporting adjacent exterior hexagonal and pentagonal panels. The bottom surfaces of each leg may form a dihedral angle for supporting adjacent interior hexagonal and pentagonal panels.
