ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for joining panel members into walls or dividers is provided which does not require the use of a wet sealant to close the gap between adjacent panels and which allows thermal expansion and/or contraction of the panel members to be absorbed by the joints. The apparatus includes a channel for receiving turned down edges of adjacent panel members. The channel has interlocking portions for engaging mating portions on the panel edges and locking them into position. A resilient spring member is used to hold the interlocking and mating portions in engagement. A profiled elastomeric sealing member is provided to seal the gap between the panel members. The sealing member is held in position by the resilient spring member.
