ABSTRACT:
The invention involves a structural interlocking joint system for structural panels used in building construction. A skeleton is formed of interlocking ribs which engage panel skins which are grooved in a pattern to receive the edges of the interlocked ribs. The grooves of each panel skin are formed with their edges angled away from the groove to provide both a wider opening for insertion of the rib skeleton into the grooves, and to provide, after such joining insertion, a reservoir for any excess glue forced out by the joining process. Along the longitudinal edges of the ribs is formed a uniform channel which provides a defined reservoir for glue of substantially even width and depth between the edge of each rib and the bottom of the corresponding groove within the skin. Thus, in the insertion of a rib within a groove, the glue is directed into a substantially uniform strip within the rib edge channel, maximizing strength and minimizing localized glue overflow. Any overflow which occurs from the rib edge channel is contained by the reservoir formed by the angle-edge grooves in the skin.
