Abstract
There is provided an extruded, modular panel unit for the construction of wall-surface portions, especially of light-transmitting wall-surface portions. The panel comprises two sheet-like major surfaces interconnected and spaced apart by a plurality of web-like ribs dividing the space delimited by the major surfaces into a plurality of subspaces, and at least one joining flange extending in the direction of extrusion and projecting at an angle from an edge of the panel unit. In cross section, the sheet-like major surfaces and the ribs form a truss-like structure of which the major surfaces constitute the chords and the ribs constitute the webs.

An extruded, modular panel unit for the construction of wall-surface portions, including light-transmitting wall-surface portions, comprising at least two sheet-like major surfaces interconnected and spaced apart by a plurality of ribs dividing the space delimited by said major surfaces into a plurality of subspaces, wherein a joining flange, extending in the direction of extrusion, projects at an angle from, and beyond, an outside face of one of said major surfaces, at each extruded edge of said panel unit, wherein, in cross section, said sheet-like major surfaces and said ribs form a truss-like structure of which said major surfaces constitute the chords and said ribs constitute the webs, and wherein each of said joining flanges has an outside and an inside face, each face being adapted to contact a corresponding face of a flange of an adjacent panel unit.
