Description

  The present invention relates to a panel coupling joiner for connecting panels such as a wall panel and a partition panel to each other.

  When panels are sequentially connected to form a panel wall such as a wall surface or a partition wall, the panels are sequentially connected using a panel coupling joiner.

  In the panel coupling joiner, the side portions of the panel are fitted between a pair of opposed flanges so that the panels are sequentially connected.

  By the way, in the above conventional panel coupling joiner, since the dimension between the opposed inner surfaces of a pair of opposed flanges is larger than the thickness of the panel to be connected, when the panels are simply connected, there is a gap between the surface of the panel and the inner surface of the flange. As a result, the airtightness is deteriorated, and a strong panel wall cannot be obtained.

  In order to solve such a problem, a sealing material such as a silicon sealer or a gasket is interposed between the surface of the panel and the inner surface of the flange so as to improve the airtightness and the strength of the panel wall.

  For this reason, it takes a lot of time to form the panel wall, and there is a disadvantage that a harmful gas is generated from the sealing material to the human body and the environment is deteriorated.
