parallel and separated by a nucleus
and own second tablets.

Although the edge termination and the - connection; ceinrichtu ₁ ' ⁱ .r-: for plate-shaped bodies according to the invention are diverse, they are particularly suitable for the prefabricated construction of buildings and containers according to the modular principle, which is why they are part of a such application area will be explained in the following description.

The erection of structures and containers with the help of plate-shaped bodies or building panels, their metal walls
separated from one another by an insulating layer is known and is described, for example, in US Pat. No. 3% 3,578. Typically, however, such components have
Disadvantage that the electrical and thermal insulation is impaired by the fact that the inner and outer walls
of the plate-shaped body come into contact with one another at the ends of the plate-shaped body or building panels when a connection is formed. To solve this problem, proposals have already been made that are based on edge terminations and edge connection devices of relatively complex design, which extend far beyond the walls of the plate-shaped body. For example, TJS-PS 3 217 ^ 55 shows an edge termination for a flat, uniform prefabricated part and a connecting device for swc-i such prefabricated panels, the formation of a continuous metallic contact area between the inner and outer metal walls being avoided. The edge termination described in US Pat. No. 3,217-455 requires, however, a relatively complicated application of seven individual elements, with it extending far beyond the outer wall of the plate-shaped body, which creates an additional space requirement.

With regard to the device for connecting two plate-shaped Bodies, the object underlying the invention is achieved according to the invention in that on each of the plate-shaped Body an edge termination is formed, in which each a section of the first and the second Ta-

509819/0799

fei as the end of the first and the second table "above .the.core extends out, "at which at the end of the first panel One-piece molded part is arranged and "in which an insulation is provided, with the help of which the end of the the first panel can be thermally and electrically insulated from the end of the second panel, and that fastening members are attached to the device are provided, with the help of which self-aligning connection surfaces, which are attached to the edge terminations of the first and second panels are formed, can be firmly connected to one another.

The advantages that can be achieved with the invention are primarily to be seen in the fact that the thermal and electrical insulation it is ensured that there is also a shield against electromagnetic waves and electrical or magnetic waves Fields, especially those that interfere with television or radio reception, can be provided and that v / eder at the edge termination elements are still provided in the connecting device according to the invention, which extend over the end faces extend out of the plates. In addition, the edge termination and connector according to the invention act to penetrate against moisture and are designed to be sufficiently elastic to distribute shock-like stresses over the entire plate structure. A particular advantage of the invention can also be seen in the fact that the plate-shaped body against all plate-shaped bodies of the same type are of the same type or of different thicknesses are interchangeable, as long as care is taken that the edges engage with one another stand or align with each other. The connecting device according to the invention is characterized by a simple design made of, is easy to assemble and is self-aligning.
