In 2016 I wrote a post about an ingenious structure I had come across while browsing through patents in the late 1980's. This past week I received a question about how to assemble the sections of the structure.
Although I was able to locate the piece I that was in the 2016 post, I thought it might be best to make some before answering.
I had used a heavy paper for the sample I made to show third and fourth graders . The units are held together with tape, which is manageable to with a classroom of 10ish-year-olds. The amazing thing is that, even though I made this sample maybe 20 years ago, the tape still was holding the pieces together.
The one I just made for myself uses paper hinges for the attachments. If you, the reader, have bookbinding skills, you very well would choose to use either cloth or paper hinges, glued on. This would be very tough to do with children.
There's a third way of attaching that is best seen, not described. Well, actually, even the taped option should be demonstrated as the method is not as obvious as it sounds.
Therefore, here is a video, which, I hope, explains all.
If you are interested, which of course you are, here's a pdf I made from the copy I made of the patent by Iris Sarid
