Interlocking Panel Assembly for Modular Building Construction

摘要

A modular building panel assembly which is assembled with other similar panels to form a building structure includes spaced apart inner and outer wall portions joined to one another at opposing first and second end portions. The first end portion includes a first flange portion defining a male connector. The second end portion includes a second flange portion which partially defines a female connector together with the inner wall portion so as to receive the male connector of an adjacent assembly therein. The inner wall portion overlaps the second flange portion of the second end portion in the lateral direction so as to be arranged to receive a common fastener penetrated collectively through the inner wall portion, the second flange portion, and the first flange portion of said adjacent assembly in the assembly building structure.

主权项

1. A building panel assembly for connection to an adjacent assembly of like configuration in construction of an assembled building structure, the panel assembly comprising:
an outer wall portion spanning an outer side of the panel assembly in a vertical direction between opposing top and bottom ends of the panel assembly and in a lateral direction between opposing first and second ends of the panel assembly; an inner wall portion spanning an inner side of the panel assembly at a location spaced inwardly from the outer wall portion so as to define a cavity therebetween; a first end portion joined between the outer wall portion and the inner wall portion at the first end of the panel assembly; and a second end portion joined between the outer wall portion and the inner wall portion at the second end of the panel assembly; the first end portion including a first flange portion which protrudes outwardly in the lateral direction beyond the inner wall panel at the first end of the panel assembly to define a male connector; the second end portion including a second flange portion which at least partially defines a female connector which is recessed inwardly in the lateral direction relative to the inner wall panel at the second end of the panel assembly so as to be arranged to receive the male connector of said adjacent assembly therein in an assembled configuration; wherein the inner wall portion overlaps the second flange portion of the second end portion in the lateral direction so as to be arranged to receive a common fastener penetrated collectively through the inner wall portion, the second flange portion, and the first flange portion of said adjacent assembly in the assembly building structure.
