1. Wall construction for a receptacle, a vehicle body, or a transport container, formed by a series of substantially identical plates (1, 2, ...), such as e.g. extruded light-metal section, which are connected to one another by snap locks, a continously level side wall surface being formed at one side (usually the outside of the receptacle) whereas at the other side a substantially box-shaped upright (19) is formed at each connection, each plate being provided at one of its longitudinal edges with a channel-shaped profile (4) the opening of which is situated mainly in the plane of the plate, with an inwardly directed barbed rib (14) situated at the edge and with a part of a push-in hinge (7) arranged in the region of the transition from the level plate part into the adjacent channel wall (11), whereas at the other longitudinal edge of each plate a complementary counter-element of the push-in hinge (7) is provided at the end of the level plate part (3) and, at some distance from the said counter-element, a complementary barbed counter-rib (15, 16) at the plate surface, said counter-element and said counter-rib being situated at the same side of the plate as the channel, in such a manner that the ribs (14, 15, 16) and hinge parts (7) all extend parallel to one another and are spaced at such distances from one another that, after the insertion of the complementary hinge parts (8a, 8b, 8c, 9 ; 7) of two plates in one another and the subsequent pivoting of the two oppositely directed barbed ribs relatively to one another, the ribs are adapted to snap-in under a normal force, elastically along one another, to lock behin one another, so that the plates (1, 2, ...) are connected to one another substantially permanently in force-locking manner in a single plane a right angles to the snap connection, there being provided at that part (3) of a plate (1) which, at assembly, co-operates with the channel (44) of the next plate (2), a longitudinal lip (20) which projects into that channel and which in the snapped-in state extends parallel to the next channel wall (11, 12, 13), characterized in that the longitudinal lip (20) is securable as a longitudinal connection lip with one or more bolt connections (6) to the channel (4), the region of the (bolt) connection of this longitudinal connection lip extending, after the snapping-in operation, in the vicinity of the channel (4) with formation of a slight gap (S), in such a manner that this gap (S) is reduced by means of the bolt connection (6) with elastic deformation of the longitudinal lip, and at least in the region of the connection (6) the longitudinal lip (20) is drawn tightly against an inner wall of the channel (4). |
