ABSTRACT:
A connector system for the attachment of component panels along the line of a joint. The panel to be joined has a dovetail shaped channel on the edge to be joined. A flexible connector has a curvilinear cross section containing a major arched portion and a minor arched portion inverted to it. Flattening the major arched portion by exerting a normal force on it drives the minor arched portion into the dovetail shaped channel, forming the joint. Removing the force releases the joint.
In the preferred form; a pair of connectors opposed to one another joint two solar/structural building panels. Slots on the inside surfaces of the connectors distribute air to the dovetail channels, and through a corrugated film bonded to the outer panel skin. Air returning to the dovetail channel on the opposite side of the panel is heated by sunlight.
