Structural members and joints between such members

摘要

Effective, simple, easily assembled joints between adjacent ends of structural members such as stress-skin panels may be constructed by shaping the ends of such members so that they can be fitted together. Each of such structural members has a core located between two side members. The disclosed invention relates to identically shaping the interfitting ends of such members so that the cores between the side members include sloping walls spaced from the side members by spacing walls. One of the side members on each structural member is constructed so as to overlap a side member on the other structural member when the panels are fitted together. An adhesive is used to join all adjacent surfaces within the joint between such two members.
