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.
Claims9
A plurality of panels for use in a modular building, each of the plurality of panels including a first side wall, a second side wall, and a base portion;
- each of the plurality of panels having a longitudinal direction;
- each of the plurality of panels being constructed from a corrugated material, having ridges and grooves extending in the longitudinal direction;
- each of the plurality of panels being movable between a first position and a second position;
- whereby when each of the plurality of panels is in the first position the first side wall and the second side wall are angled with respect to each other;
- when each of the plurality of panels is in the second position the first side wall is generally parallel to and opposed to the second side wall;
- such that when a first panel of the plurality of panels is in the second position an open space is created between the first side wall and the second side wall;
- whereby a second panel of the plurality of panels can be received in the open space, where ridges of the second panel can locate within grooves of the first panel and contiguous with the first panel.
