Architectual panel system for geodesic-like structures

An architectural panel system comprising at least three panels having corrugations formed in the surface thereof, said corrugations directed substantially perpendicularly to the edges of the panel surfaces, and each of the panels bounded along at least two edges by side flanges formed integrally therewith, each of the side flanges having surfaces extending away from said panel surface substantially perpendicular thereto, and means for fastening each of the side flanges to a side flange of at least one other panel such that said at least three panels converge in a vertex to form a polyhedral angle, and each of the flange surfaces having corrugations formed therein directed substantially perpendicular to the edge of the panel surface that interlock with complementary corrugations formed in a flange surface of an adjoining panel.

An architectural panel system comprising at least three substantially parallelogram shaped panels having corrugations formed in the surface thereof, said corrugations directed diagonally to the edges of the panel surfaces, each of the panels bounded along at least two edges thereof by side flanges formed integrally with said panels, each of the side flanges having a surface extending away from said panel surface substantially perpendicularly thereto, and means for fastening each of the side flanges to a side flange of at least one other panel such that said panels form a polyhedral angle, and each of the flange surfaces having corrugations formed therein substantially perpendicular to the edge of the panel surface that interlock with corrugations formed in a flange surface of an adjoining panel.

An architectural panel system comprising:

• at least three panels, each of said panels having a panel surface bounded along at least two edges by side flanges formed integrally therewith, each of said side flanges having a flange surface extending away from said panel surface substantially perpendicularly thereto, each of said flange surfaces having corrugations formed therein substantially perpendicular to the edges of the panel surface that nestingly mate with a flange surface of at least one adjoining panel such that said panels converge in a vertex to form a polyhedral angle;
• and
• means for fastening said mated flanges, said fastening means including an interlocking member for joining said panels together at the vertex of the polyhedral angle formed by the panels, said interlocking member having a leg for interlocking each adjoining pair of flange surfaces.
