Panel assembly with mullion joint

A system of panel assemblies joined together to form a mullion joint, the system comprising:

• a first panel assembly comprising:
• a first panel composed of a material substrate;
• a first bezel of the first panel assembly configured to frame a perimeter of the first panel on a first side of the first panel;
• and
• a second bezel of the first panel assembly configured to frame the perimeter of the first panel on a second side of the first panel opposite of the first side, the second bezel of the first panel assembly comprising cogs formed on a first edge;
• a second panel assembly comprising:
• a second panel composed of a material substrate;
• a first bezel of the second panel assembly configured to frame a perimeter of the second panel on a first side of the second panel;
• and
• a second bezel of the second panel assembly configured to frame the perimeter of the second panel on a second side of the second panel opposite of the first side, the second bezel of the second panel assembly comprising cogs formed on a first edge;
• a mounting structure configured to receive a portion of the second bezel of the first panel assembly, and the second bezel of the second panel assembly;
• and
• a clamping structure configured to cover a portion of the first bezel of the first panel assembly and a portion of the first bezel of the second panel assembly, wherein a portion of the perimeter of the first panel and a portion of the second panel is sandwiched between the mounting structure and the clamping structure,
• wherein the cogs of the second bezel of the first panel assembly are configured to receive and join with cogs of the second bezel of the second panel assembly to form a mullion joint, and
• wherein the mullion joint extends between an opening in the mounting structure and an opening in the clamping structure.

A method for configuring a system of panel assemblies with a mullion joint, comprising:

• forming a first panel for a first panel assembly composed of a material substrate;
• forming a first bezel of the first panel assembly formed to frame a perimeter of the first panel on a first side of the first panel;
• forming a second bezel of the first panel assembly formed to frame the perimeter of the first panel on a second side of the first panel opposite of the first side, the second bezel of the first panel assembly comprising cogs formed on a first edge;
• joining the cogs of the second bezel of the first panel assembly to cogs of a second bezel of a second panel assembly wherein the cogs are formed to receive and join together to form a mullion joint;
• and
• joining the second bezel of the panel assembly to the bezel of the second panel assembly at the mullion joint with a bonding material, wherein the bonding material maintains an electrical connectivity and a thermal conductivity between the panel assembly and the second panel assembly.

A panel assembly configured to form a mullion joint, the panel assembly comprising:

• a panel composed of a material substrate;
• a first bezel configured to frame a perimeter of the panel on a first side of the panel;
• a second bezel configured to frame the perimeter of the panel on a second side of the panel opposite of the first side, the second bezel comprising cogs formed on a first edge of the second bezel, wherein the cogs of the second bezel are configured to receive and join with cogs of a bezel of a second panel assembly to form a mullion joint;
• a mounting structure configured to receive a portion of the second bezel of the panel, and the bezel of the second panel assembly;
• and
• a clamping structure configured to cover a portion of the first bezel, wherein a portion of the perimeter of the panel is sandwiched between the mounting structure and the clamping structure, and wherein the mullion joint extends between an opening in the mounting structure and an opening in the clamping structure, but is not covered by the mounting structure and the clamping structure.
