Abstract
A building panel is constructed of a corrugated material. The panel can be folded into a U-shaped configuration. Successive folded panels can be coupled together using complementary shaped corrugations to fix panels in position relative to each other. Shaped connectors can be used to connect building panels in one plane to building panels in another plane.
Claims7
A panel for use in a modular building as a section of a wall;
- the panel including:
- a first side wall, a second side wall, and a base portion, each of which extends in a longitudinal direction,
- wherein the pan& is movable between a first position and a second position, the second position representing an assembled position in which the panel forms the section of the wall,
- wherein, when the panel is in the first position, the first side wall and the second side wall are angled with respect to each other,
- wherein, when the panel is in the second position, the first side wall is generally parallel to and opposed to the second side wall,
- wherein the panel includes further longitudinally extending bends located on the first side wall and/or the second side wall,
- wherein movement of at least one side wall portion about one of said further longitudinally extending bends permits movement of the panel into a third position in which the panel is closed at an outer end remote from the base portion, and
- wherein movement of at least one side wall portion one of said further longitudinally extending bends permits movement of the panel into a fourth position in which an outer portion of the first side wall and/or the second side wall extends away from the panel in a direction parallel to the base portion.
