ABSTRACT:
A bulkhead member for assembling a bulkhead is disclosed, comprising a body having two opposed faces and first and second substantially parallel edges. The first edge includes an integral split socket and the second edge includes an integral connecting bead. At least one of the opposed faces includes a planar surface, and one of the socket and bead is mounted adjacent the planar surface. The connecting bead is angled with respect to the planar surface, and the gap in the split socket is correlatively angled, such that when the bead of the first bulkhead member is lockingly received in the socket of another like bulkhead member, the planar surfaces of the two bulkhead members may be substantially coplanar, and the connecting bead and socket of the two bulkhead members are offset from the common plane of the planar surfaces of the two bulkhead members.
