"hid" inward, but the squares with triples
became visible. This is an example that
demonstrates the constructive solution that
underlies the "double-acting articulated
joints" (reversible flexo hinges). The
execution order of the paper model of the
flexo loop can be seen in fig. 3. By combining
the loops into structures, we ultimately get
the "desired" flexo nets.
These structures made using solid-
state (conditionally, within the boundaries of
operational properties) materials will have

deformations.
It should be noted here that the
elastic properties of structures realized on
the basis of the principle of flexo nets are
achieved not due to the plastic properties
of the materials from which they are made,
but due to hinged joints (flexo loops).
In fig. 4, you can see two examples of
combining flexo loops into grids. Note that
presented in Fig. 4 schemes do not exhaust
the potential stylistic variety of flexo nets,
the difference of which is not only visual,
but functional.
As one of the options for the practical
implementation of the idea of flexo nets,
one can propose the creation of lamps,
chandeliers and LED panels, for which
it is necessary to place light sources in
the mesh cells. In combination with the
inherent nature of the structure, the ability Fig. 3.
