A panel is provided, which is a building block, for a trade show booth. Each panel includes a support structure having rails secured to the edges. Each rail has magnetic fastening strips and metal guidance blades disposed in the lengthwise extending slots, which engage with similar structures in other panels or other rails. Separate rails have mutually engageable lobes and lobe-engaging openings to allow a plurality of panels to be placed in any trade show booth configuration.

An apparatus for connecting adjacent panels includes a first panel and a second panel. Each panel has a connectable edge adapted for connection to a connectable edge of an adjacent panel. At least one first panel interface is disposed on the first panel and at least one second panel interface is disposed on the second panel. Each panel interface is positioned on a surface of the respective panel near the respective connectable edge. First and second interlocking elements are disposed on the respective connectable edges of the panels. The apparatus also includes at least one connector with a base and first and second engaging parts projecting from the base. To connect the panels, the interlocking elements of the connectable edges are interlocked with one another. The connector is mounted to the first and second panels such that the base traverses the connectable edges. The connector is moved such that the first engaging part engages the at least one first panel interface and the second engaging part engages the at least one second panel interface when installed.
摘要:
A modular construction system and method of use for creating a concrete wall system which has a wall system which complies with a modular construction system. The system uses wall form panels having connectors and structural tie plates. The wall form panels have interlocking protrusions around the edges such that the panel is reversibly symmetric. The panels are specific lengths to minimize the number of panels required to achieve a set length. The structural tie plates have connectors to tie in with the wall form panels and in addition carry and position reinforcement bars with the wall. The modular wall system ensures ease and integrity of alignment of the wall form panels by the self-aligning structural tie elements. In a preferred embodiment, a footing is continuously integral with the wall. A heat retention cap form allows for a more uniform cure temperature in adverse temperatures. The modular system in addition allows for integrated tie-ins to built-out piers, which can support stone or steel or wood or poured concrete or continue as a vertical pier with design vertical reinforcement bar strength.

An insulating panel having at least one pair of opposite vertical sides defining opposite vertical interfaces for connection to other similar insulating panels abutting it. One of the opposite vertical interface includes a tongue and groove interlock consisting of at least three rows of aligned tongues and grooves, the three rows including first, second and third row adjacent to each other, the second row extending between the first and third rows, the aligned tongues and grooves of each of the rows being staggered with respect to the tongues and grooves of each adjacent row. The vertical interface opposite the one vertical interface includes a corresponding tongue and groove interlock consisting of a same number of rows of aligned tongues and grooves sized and positioned to engage and interfit with the rows of tongues and grooves of the one vertical interface of another similar insulating panel abutted to the panel so as to maximize a homogeneous force distribution along the adjacent interfaces of abutted panels and to act as a weather strip to prevent air circulation between the rows of tongues and grooves, thereby increasing the effective shearing strength as well as the effective insulation of the abutted panels.
摘要:
A hollow structural panel forms a number of cavities each of which is bounded by side walls and end or partition walls. The side walls have a concave outer surface and a convex inner surface, and the partition walls are formed as I-beams the flanges thereof being integral with the side walls and forming substantially planar outer surfaces separating adjacent side walls from each other.

An A-frame building is constructed of a floor, opposite end walls and a roof on each side which extends from the floor to the peak of the building. The steps include first, interconnecting the panels to form the floor and then erecting one end wall followed by alternately interconnecting part of oppositely disposed roof panels and then erecting the other end wall followed by assembling the remaining oppositely disposed roof panels. All joints between two or more abutting panels includes a removable rod interconnecting complementary joint half sections. Each half section is L-shaped with upstanding tongues on an inside face of one leg and the adjacent face of the other leg includes a channel. An outwardly facing edge of the other leg includes upstanding wall portions defining grooves. The halfjoint sections when interconnected define a bore circular or square in cross section and the upstanding tongues are positioned in the grooves between the upstanding walls. A rod having a corresponding cross section to that of the bore is positioned in the bore to restrict movement between the joint half sections.

MEANS IS PROVIDED FOR JOINING PANEL POSTS TOGETHER IN SUCH MANNER THAT PARTITIONS OR THE LIKE FORMED OF PANELS AND POST UNITS MAY BE READILY ASSEMBLED IN A MINIMUM OF TIME AND THEREAFTER "KNOCKED DOWN" WITH EQUAL FACILITY. CHANNEL-SHAPED POSTS ARE PROVIDED HAVING THE FLANGES THEREOF INTERFITTING WITH EACH OTHER AND JOINED BY MEANS OF FINGER WEDGES CONCEALED INSIDE THE CHANNEL-SHAPED POSTS. THE FINGER WEDGES ARE DESIGNED TO COACT WITH EACH OTHER BY FIRST LONGITUDINALLY OFFSETTING ONE CHANNEL-SHAPED POST RELATIVE TO THE OTHER, AND THEN SLIDING THEM TO ACHIEVE FINAL ALIGNMENT, WHEREUPON INTERLOCKING TONGUE AND GROOVE CONNECTION BETWEEN THE FLANGES OF ONE CHANNELSHAPED MEMBER AND THE FLANGES OF THE OTHER CHANNELSHAPED MEMBERS SO COACT WITH EACH OTHER THAT THE TWO POSTS FORM A SINGLE SUBSTANTIALLY RECTANGULAR POST. THE CHANNEL-SHAPED POSTS MAY BE FORMED AS EXTRUSIONS OF METAL, PLASTIC OR THE LIKE AND USED FOR ASSEMBONG PANELS TOGETHER BY SECURING THE CHANNEL-SHAPED POSTS TO THE EDGES OF PANELS OF WOOD, PLASTIC, PARTICLE BOARD OR THE LIKE AS BY MEANS OF SCREWS. THE CHANNEL-SHAPED POSTS ARE PROVIDED WITH MATING WEDGE SURFACES SO DISPOSED AS TO SPREAD
THE POST FLANGES AS THE POST WEBS ARE DRAWN TOWARD EACH OTHER BY THE FINGER WEDGES, AND THE SPREADING ACTION EFFECTS ENTRY OF THE TONGUESE INTO THE GROOVES OF THE FLANGES TO ATTAIN FINAL ASSEMBLY OF THE TWO POSTS INTO A SINGLE RECTANGULAR POST.
