Tech Term help?!

[CharlesM]

OK brainiacs...

What do you call a triangle with ronded corners (other than a triangle with rounded corners...)

The top tube of a bike has this shape and I want to sound smarter than I am.


Is it a polytrigle, a tricircle...?

Alienator or Scienceiscool, the clock's ticking

[santacruzxt]

I believe it is an arc triangle

Here is a source

also look at the Reuleaux triangle about 3/4 down the page.

a triangle with radiused corners

Well...if you said the tube was triangular with rounded corners that actually doesn't sound so dumb. A "round" is a sort of technical term if you're talking about mechanical drawing...as in "Fillet", "Chamfer", "Round" etc. Know what I mean?

[Skyleth]

a triangular tube with beveled edges?

[santacruzxt]

He wants a shape, not 4-5 words that describe it.

[jersievers]

Start a contest...name that tube shape!

My entry is "troval"



(ala schwin n'liten contest)

[rouleursteve]

My entry: "Tricircle" to be read the same as "tricycle". Its a clever play on words you see.

[CharlesM]

I do see... That's why I used it.

LMAO,

Now I realy want to use the term troval just to have the manufacturer asking me what the fark I'm talking about... The problem is it might find it's way into a catologue



tri-bullnosed could fly too, but thanks to santacruz... "The top tube of the Kuota KOM is an inverted reuleaux triangle"

[rouleursteve]

Is it a polytrigle, a tricircle...?

Curse me and my skim reading.

[santacruzxt]

ding ding ding, what do I win...ha, just kidding.

[drjones96]

The top tube is an inverted euleaux triangle (hell no I didn’t know that till today).

That's good bullshit

....no wait you left off the R on Reuleaux!
