Abstract: A two-piece edge fastener used to secure two adjoining building panels to a substrate or other supporting structure. One piece is a female fitting, for bonding to the edge of one of the panels, that has an outer portion defining a cavity with a shoulder on one side thereof. The second piece, for bonding to the edge of the other panel, is a male fitting having an outer portion carrying an outwardly extending protuberance whose free end is at least generally complementary to the shape of the cavity, with the outer portion of the male fitting having a shoulder on one side of the protuberance. A fastening flange extends outwardly from one of the fittings, providing a hole for receiving a fastener for attaching the fitting to the substrate or supporting structure. A masking member extends outwardly from the other fitting to conceal the fastener. The free end portion of the fastening flange terminates adjacent the shoulder on the other fitting, and the free end portion of the masking member terminates adjacent the shoulder of the fitting that carries the fastening flange. In some embodiments, the two free end portions actually abut the shoulders to form precise hairline joints. In other embodiments, three gaps are provided between the two fittings, with compressible, resilient gaskets in two of the gaps, while the third is left open.

Abstract: A laminated master panel having a predetermined shape and predetermined dimensions, which panel comprises a foam core made up of a plurality of separate, rigid, constituent segments, an original perimeter frame, and at least one interior divider member. Transverse interior divider members may also be included. Through careful positioning of the interior divider member or members, the panel is dividable into a plurality of smaller laminated panels each of which has a predetermined shape and dimensions that are predetermined proportions of the dimensions of the master panel. In addition, the resulting perimeter frame of each subdivided panel has substantially the same thickness, and substantially the same surface characteristics, throughout the extent of its perimeter. The predetermined shapes of the subdivided panels may be any desired shape--rectangular, square, triangular, trapezoidal, a parallelogram, circular, etc.
