Abstract

732,645. Plating. SOC. ANON. POUR L'INDUSTRIE DE L'ALUMINIUM. Nov. 23, 1953 [Nov. 21, 1952], No. 32458/53. Addition to 684,944, [Group XXII]. Class 113 (2). [Also in Groups XXII and XXXII] In a method of making light metal bodies, for example, bodies for ships, by assembling panel elements side by side to form the walls and the roof, the adjacent edges of the panels to be joined, which are provided at the inside with profile sections, are welded together from the outside while the profile sections are afterwards fastened together either by mechanical means or by spot welding. In forming the structure shown, two longitudinal beams 3 comprising part of the frame of the vehicle body, are spot welded or riveted to profile sections 2. The sheets 1 are then placed in position with their adjacent edges slightly spaced apart and are fastened to the members 2, 3 by spot welding. A rod which may be of T-section is placed between the adjacent edges of the sheets and is welded thereto to form the seam 6. Afterwards a profile section 5 is placed in position with a rib between the members 2. An intermediate layer 7 may also be provided. The profile sections and the rib of member 5 are riveted together, and the flanges 9 of the member 5 are secured to the beams 3. Specification 732,635, [Group XXII], is referred to.
