ABSTRACT:
A joint system for wall panel construction, particularly adapted for use with metal studs. The system provides a batten cover element which is positioned to overlie the junctions between panels of a wall panel structure having butt joints, inside corners, and/or outside corners. The system of the invention utilizes a receiver element which is adapted to be fastened to the framework studs which underlie the junction, the receiver element having a portion which projects outwardly between the panels and terminates in a locking flange. The receiver element is identical for all junctions and separate batten cover elements cooperate with the locking flange to cover the junctions, the batten element having one form for a butt joint, a second form for an inside corner, and a third form for an outside corner, each form providing one wing having a locking channel to receive the locking flange of the receiver and adapted to overlie one panel and a second wing to overlie the other panel. The receiver and batten elements have sufficient resilience to snap into place and interlock against inadvertent displacement, the resilience also affording intentional displacement to enable disassembly of the joint.
