ABSTRACT:
This disclosure is directed to an interlocking construction panel, which when interlocked with an identical panel, will present a smooth flat surface on one side, with a plurality of longitudinal integral channels projecting from the opposite side. The panel comprises: a planar wall of elongate rectangular configuration; one longitudinal edge of this planar wall having an integral open channel projecting outwardly and downwardly therefrom with a bottom in parallel alignment therewith; the bottom of the channel has a longitudinal, central thickened portion; the open channel has an inwardly projecting longitudinal lip adjacent the open top thereof on the side thereof remote from the panel; the other side of the channel has a pair of inwardly projecting members, one in alignment with the planar wall and one therebeneath and, the other longitudinal edge of the planar wall has downwardly projecting interlock integral longitudinal parallel members, one adapted to be restrained within the pair of inwardly projecting members on one side of the open channel, the other being adapted for snap-lock engagement with the inwardly projecting longitudinal lip on the other side of the open channel. The novel construction permits a plurality of panels to be readily enjoined such that when assembled there is no necessity for a separate structural frame since the two inwardly projecting members on the side of the channel clamp one of the interlock members therebetween to resist shifting of adjacent panels.
