The set of subsums of the series Σn=1∞ xn is known to be one of three types: a finite union of intervals, homeomorphic to the Cantor set, or of the type known as a Cantorval. Bartoszewicz, Filipczak and Szymonik have described a family of series which contained all known examples of subsum sets which are Cantorvals. We construct another family of series which produces new examples of subsum sets which are Cantorvals.
