ABSTRACT:
A storm panel is formed of a large number of elongated, narrow, thin panel sections that are arranged along a common plane and are connected together edge-to-edge. Each section has an integral flange forming a tongue extending along one of its longitudinal edges. Also, each panel has a pair of approximately parallel spaced apart flanges formed integral with its opposite edge to provide a channel of a depth and width for tightly receiving a tongue. The tongue of each section is manually fitted within and tightly held within the channel of the next adjacent section. The overlapping, narrow flanges forming the tongues and grooves at each adjacent pair of section edges provide a three-layer, narrow, bar-like reinforcement strip extending the full length of the panel. The series of reinforcement strips formed along the assembled panel, stiffen, strengthen and increase the resistance of the panel to penetration by forcefully applied objects, such as wind hurled debris during storms.
