US Patent 12122457 Space frame kinetic front transition connections

A transition connection for a space frame can comprise a connection pad defining a first end of the transition connection, a node defining a second end of the transition connection opposite the first end, a pair of ribs on opposite sides, a first concave portion on a first side of one of the ribs, and a second concave portion on a second side of the one of ribs. In a side elevational view of the transition connection, an acute angle is formed on a same side as the first and second concave portions. The transition connection, which can be a casting, can be part of a pair or set of transition connections separate and distinct from each other. The pair of transition connections can be mirror images of each other.
