ABSTRACT:
A modular wall panel system in which individual panels are constructed with a lightweight aluminum frame. In a preferred embodiment, the frame is substantially filled with a foam core material and decorative display surfaces are affixed to opposite sides thereof. One edge of the panels contains a plurality of specially shaped connector pins, while the opposite edge has a plurality of connector slots having a "dogbone" configuration. Therefore, a similar panel placed adjacent to the first panel may be mated thereto by engagement of the connector pins with respective connector slots in the other panel. The pins/slots are shaped and sized so that the connector pin may enter/exit the connector slot at either end of the dogbone but not in the center slot of the dogbone. Secure coupling with fast assembly/disassembly is thereby achieved, without tools or detachable components. Furthermore, the dogbone shape of the slot allows panels to be removed from either side.
