Abstract
The disclosed subject matter pertains to an artificial panel including a spaced apart first wall and second wall. Each of the walls has an inside surface and an outside surface, and at least one fastener location configured at an outside surface of the at least one of the first wall and the second wall of the panel. The fastener location is configured for receiving therethrough a fastener and where one or more ribs extend between the first wall and the second wall, along at least a portion of the panel, the fastener location being indicative of the location thereof.
Claims21
An artificial panel, comprising:
- a first wall;
- a second wall, wherein the first wall and the second wall are spaced apart to define a space, each of the first wall and the second wall having a space-facing surface and an outside surface;
- and
- one or more ribs that extend from the first wall to the second wall along at least a portion of the artificial panel, the one or more ribs and the second wall define at least one fastener location with the second wall defining a terminus of the at least one fastener location, the at least one fastener location configured for receiving a fastener therein;
- wherein the at least one fastener location is indicated by at least one marking on the first wall corresponding to a location of the one or more ribs;
- wherein the one or more ribs are configured to permit the fastener to penetrate the first wall from said outside surface at said at least one fastener location and to be anchored within the one or more ribs and without penetrating the second wall when received within the at least one fastener location.
An artificial panel, comprising:
- a first wall;
- and
- a second wall, wherein the first wall and the second wall are spaced apart to define a space, each of the first wall and the second wall having a space-facing surface and an outside surface;
- and
- one or more ribs that extend between the first wall and the second wall along at least a portion of the artificial panel to at least partially define at least one fastener location that is a solid body, the at least one fastener location configured for receiving a fastener therein;
- wherein the at least one fastener location is indicated by at least one marking on the first wall corresponding to a location of the one or more ribs;
- wherein the one or more ribs are configured to permit the fastener to penetrate the first wall from said outside surface at said at least one fastener location and to be anchored within the rib and without penetrating the second wall when received within the at least one fastener location.
An artificial panel-fastener assembly, comprising:
- an artificial panel including:
- a first wall;
- a second wall spaced from the first wall to define a space therebetween, each of the first wall and the second wall having a space-facing surface and an outside surface;
- and
- one or more ribs that extend between the first wall and the second wall;
- the one or more ribs and the second wall define at least one fastener location, with the second wall defining a terminus of the at least one fastener location;
- wherein the at least one fastener location is indicated by at least one marking on the first wall corresponding to a location of the one or more ribs;
- and
- a fastener including a head and a tip, the fastener extends at least partially through the at least one fastener location such that the tip of the fastener is anchored within the one or more ribs without penetrating the second wall.
