ABSTRACT:
Modular building panels having foam cores protected by metal skins are releasably interconnected in edge-to-edge relation to one another. Each panel has a first panel edge that is flat and a second edge with a pair of parallel grooves formed in it. The interconnection is accomplished by bending the metal skins that protect the top and bottom surfaces of the core so that contiguous panels are snap fit together when the bent metal skins are interlocked with one another. The interlocking skin associated with a first panel edge has a "J" shape and extends outwardly at a forty five degree angle relative to the edge of that panel. The skin associated with a second panel is bent into a ladle shape that includes a cup that receives the curved end of the "J"-shaped part when the panels are interconnected. Each ladle-shaped part extends into its associated groove at a forty five degree angle, in a reverse direction relative to the "J"-shaped part. Both the "J"-shaped part and the ladle-shaped part are yieldable and resilient and the common angular orientation between them enables facile interconnection of contiguous panels.
