Abstract

A structure comprising a plurality of generally flat elements, each element being in the shape of a non-square parallelogram in plan. The elements are linked in a ring, each element being connected to the next in the ring through a hinge having a pivot axis. The sum of the angles between respective adjacent pivot axes of the hinges is less than 360{ and more than 0{.
