ABSTRACT:
A construction is provided in the form of a roof or a wall or the like which includes a plurality of parallel panels connected in series. These panels include juxtaposed edge portions and are formed of cores provided with skins which extend along the cores and beyond the same to form interlocking members to connect the parallel panels together. Some of the interlocking members may be in the form of ramps which are resiliently supported. The interlocking members which engage therewith are in the form of hook-shaped members which ride up the ramps and beyond the same. The interlocking members which are formed as ramps define a rectilinearily shaped receptacle for receiving the core of the next adjacent panel. The received core extends into the receptacle short of the core associated therewith. The interlocking members bear upon one another and selective of the associated cores in order to enhance the load bearing characteristics of the construction. Some of the interlocking members also form fluid evacuating passages extending longitudinally along the panels. A gutter arrangement can be provided at the extremities of the panels in order to receive and drain away fluid received from the aforesaid passages. The received core can be formed with a tongue which may be integral with the associated core or separate from but cemented thereto. The tongue can be chamfered to permit tilting of the panels when they are brought together. Alternatively, the panels can be brought directly together in edge-to-edge direction or can be connected by relative longitudinal displacements.
