[0023]

The panel of the present invention is attached to a plurality of plate-like members connected so that the front surfaces are flush with each other and to upper and lower ends and left and right side edges of the plurality of connected plate-like members. The upper and lower frame members are formed in a channel shape, the left and right frame members are formed in a rectangular tube shape, and the side edges of the body of two adjacent plate members, the left frame member At right angles to the width direction of the panel, one of the respective combinations of the left edge of the right wall and the body of the adjacent plate-shaped member and the left edge of the right frame member and the right edge of the body of the adjacent plate-shaped member. And one of the first and second connection portions having substantially the same width as the front-rear width of the left and right frame members is provided, and the other of the combination includes the other of the first and second connection portions. Are provided, and the grooves for pin hole formation face each other on the opposing surfaces of the two connecting portions that are adjacent to each other. A receiving portion is provided on each of the first connecting portions, and a receiving portion is provided on the distal end side of the first connecting portion, and has a groove extending in either the left or right direction and having the fitting portion fitted on the distal end side of the second connecting portion. The receiving portion has a rear surface parallel to the front surface of the plate-shaped member, the fitting portion is fitted into the groove, and a pin hole is formed by the opposed pin hole forming groove, and a connecting pin is formed in the pin hole. Are press-fitted, and the upper and lower frame members are fitted over all the plate members.

That is, the panel of the present invention basically comprises only a plurality of plate members connected to each other and a frame member attached to the periphery of the plurality of plate members in the connected state. Therefore, the weight can be reduced as compared with the conventional panel, so that, for example, when the panel is used for a rear door in a luggage compartment of a truck, the opening / closing operation can be easily performed.

Further, according to the present invention, the plurality of plate-like members and the connection between the plate-like members and the right and left frame members respectively adjacent to the plate-like members are fitted by press-fitting the connecting pins having the above-described structure into the pin holes. The mounting of the upper and lower frame members is performed by fitting over all the plate-like members in the connected state. Therefore, assembling of the panel can be easily performed, and like the conventional panel in which the front panel is adhered to both sides of the plywood via an adhesive without any gap,
There is no problem that the manufacturing operation requires skill and considerable labor.
