In another exemplary embodiment, the node is cuboid and is provided with a recess or a peg on each cuboid surface.

In yet another embodiment of the invention, the node is cuboid with an inclined surface and the recesses or pins are provided in five cuboid surfaces, the cuboid surfaces opposite the inclined surface having no recesses or pins.

Due to the inclined surfaces, it is also possible to have diagonal surfaces of the facade construction

Stiffen pipes.

In a further modification of the invention, the knot is also cuboid in shape, with two inclined surfaces and all cuboid surfaces with the exception of the wide surface opposite the inclined surfaces are provided with recesses or pegs.

Another node of the component set according to the invention advantageously has an octagon cross section and is provided with recesses or pins on all ten side surfaces.

In a modification of the invention, the node is cuboid in shape and is provided with inclined surfaces abutting one edge and has recesses or tenons in the top, the bevel and the side surfaces.

The bolt of the component set according to the invention is formed from a round rod with a screw opening and with a groove strip and with an insertion pin.

According to an advantageous modification, the bolt

10 provided with an edge bead, the diameter of which is larger than the diameter of the round rod.

To fasten the fillings, the tubes are provided with screw holes at a 'central angle distance of 45- ^ in their end areas.

According to a further feature of the invention, the tubes in their end regions preferably have diametrically opposed internal ^{millings for} guiding the groove strips of the bolts or pins.

These tubes can be used in an advantageous manner

Pipe sections of eighth or quarter circular arc

25 length with the interposition of sealing strips.

To seal the fillings or the construction are advantageously between the neighboring

30 bearded pipes sealing strips are provided.

In yet another embodiment, rubber buffers are provided as supports for flat sealing strips and metallic cover strips which are screwed into the screw

35 holes of the tubes are attachable. To protect the frame structure or the knots against weather influences, optionally insertable cover caps, preferably made of plastic, are provided in the recesses of the knots.

When a frame structure is built up on a floor surface, square or circular support plates for nodes near the floor are advantageously provided.

The bolts according to the invention are welded to the nodes after they have been inserted into the recesses or depressions in the nodes.

With the few, different types of components <_es component set according to the invention, many complex constructions such as conservatories, greenhouses, roofs, shafts or the like. create with sloping or "flat roof surfaces, with vertical or sloping side surfaces to the floor. By suitable choice of the dimensions of the components, door openings or window openings can also be provided.
