Abstract
An extruded, modular panel unit, made of at least two sheet-like major surfaces inter-connected and spaced apart by a plurality of ribs dividing the space delimited by the major surfaces into a plurality of subspaces, and at least two pairs of spaced-apart, ridge-like joining projections extending in direction of extrusion, the two pairs of projections being located at one edge of the panel units. The joining projections rise from an outside face of one and the same major surface and point in the same direction, and in assembly the outside surfaces of the outer projections of the pairs of projections are in substantially direct contact with similar surfaces of coplanarly adjacent panels.

In 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, and having joining flanges extending in the direction of extrusion at each extruded edge of one major surface of said panel unit, the improvement wherein said joining flanges comprise:
- a pair of parallel spaced-apart projections, each projection having a detent on an inside surface thereof which faces the opposite projection of the pair, said detents of the pair cooperating to provide a detent means for locking said panel unit coplanarly adjacent to another identical panel unit.
An extruded, modular panel unit for the construction of wall-surface portions, especially of 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, and at least two pairs of parallel spaced-apart, joining projections extending in the direction of extrusion, said pairs of projections each being located at an opposite edge of said panel units, wherein said joining projections rise from an outside face of one and the same major surface and point in the same direction, and wherein at least one of said joining projections of one pair of the panel is adapted to lockingly engage in the space between said spaced-apart projections of one of said pairs of projections of an adjacent panel.
