ABSTRACT:
A Prefabricated Panel Module Construction for use in constructing walls and enclosures comprising a substantially rectangular frame assembly with a substantially flat rectangular sheet of sheathing material attached thereto. The frame assembly includes four side framing portions preferably of substantially uniform cross-section dimensions. The sheathing material has side edges defining a substantially rectangular shape and is attached to the framing portions of the frame assembly such that each of the framing portions is associated with a respective side edge of the sheathing material and such that the sheathing material projects beyond at least three sides of the frame assembly to form overhangs thereat and extends along the remaining fourth side framing portion of the frame assembly to at least partially overlap the framing portion along its length. In a preferred embodiment the framing portion along the fourth side of the frame assembly projects beyond the associated edge of the sheathing material to form an underhanging thereat, which underhanging is less than the width of the framing portion. The overhang oppositely disposed from the underhanging projects beyond the frame assembly a distance less than or equal to the width of the underhanging and the width of the overhangs at the other sides of the frame assembly are preferably less than the depth of the framing portions. In an alternate embodiment the sheathing material projects beyond the frame assembly along the fourth side thereof to also form an overhang thereat, and the widths of all the overhangs are preferably less than the smaller of the width or depth of the framing portions. In both embodiments the sheathing material is preferably lightproof and the framing portions may include predrilled holes and channels therein to allow a plurality of like panel modules to be easily assembled to form walls or enclosures and to be joined to one another by conventional fasteners, such as nuts and bolts or screws. A plurality of such modules may be provided in kit form and assembled to form a complete and essentially lightproof and dustproof room enclosure. The subject device also lends itself to ease of disassembly for storage and transport.
