Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a panel assembly, and more particularly to a panel assembly assembled and used as a roof or a wall.

(Prior Art) A conventional assembly of this type is disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 53-60319.

In this example, as shown in FIG.
Panels B and B are connected by covering the ends of B and B with each other.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) However, the conventional panel assembly described above has drawbacks in that the end shapes of adjacent panels to be connected are complicated and easily disengaged by wind or other external pressure.

The present invention eliminates such drawbacks.

(Means for Solving the Problem) The panel assembly of the present invention comprises a plurality of long panels having a substantially S-shaped cross section by curving both ends thereof in opposite directions in a substantially arcuate shape. And a connector for connecting the curved ends of these panels to each other, the connector comprising a vertical wall having on one side thereof a curved concave surface matching the curved outer surface of one end of the panel, and the vertical wall. A base plate that extends horizontally from the lower end to both sides, a side wall that extends downward from one end of the vertical wall facing the curved concave surface of the vertical wall, and a support wall that extends horizontally from the other end of the vertical wall, The side wall has an inner convex surface that matches the curved inner surface of one end of the panel and an outer convex surface that matches the curved inner surface of the other end of the panel, and one end and the other end curved inner surface of the two adjacent panels It is held and the supporting wall is It is characterized by supporting the flannel from below.

In another panel assembly of the present invention, the curved end portion of the panel is further bent inward at a sharp angle, and the side wall has an engaging groove that engages with the bent end.

Embodiments of the Invention Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1, both end portions 1a and 1b thereof are
And the curved ends 1a and 1b of the two adjacent panels of the panel 1 with respect to each other. Long connector 2 for connecting in the form of overlapping in opposite directions
And form a panel assembly.

As shown in FIG. 2, the connector 2 in the panel assembly of the present invention includes a board 3 fixed to a beam or the like, and one of the two adjacent panels vertically installed at the center of the board 3. A curved wall 5 having on one side thereof a curved concave surface 4 that matches the curved outer surface of one of the panel end portions 1a, and a curved concave surface 4 of this curved wall 5 at an interval approximately equal to the thickness of the panel end portion 1a. The base portion has an inner convex surface 6 that faces the curved inner surface of the panel end portion 1a and an outer curved convex surface 7 that matches the curved inner surface of the other panel end portion 1b of the other two panels. A side wall 8 which is connected to the upper end of the curved wall 5;
The other of the panel ends of the other of the two panels extends substantially horizontally from the upper end of the curved wall 5 to the opposite side of the side wall 8.
It is constituted by a corrugated support plate 9 supporting 1b.

Since the panel assembly of the present invention has the above-described structure, first, the curved end portion 1a of the one panel 1 is inserted into the gap between the curved wall 5 and the side wall 8 of the connector 2, and then the one panel The side wall 8 of the connector 2 and the horizontal corrugated support plate 9 are arranged so that the other curved end portion 1b of the other panel 1 curved in the opposite direction to the curved end portion 1a is engaged with the outer curved convex surface 7 of the side wall 8. It is possible to form a panel assembly by covering the outside and connecting the successive panels to the connector 2 by repeating the above operation.

In another embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 4, the ends of the curved ends 1a, 1b of the panel 1 are bent further inward at an acute angle, and the engaging grooves 6a, 6b are engaged with the bent ends. Are formed on the inner convex surface 6 of the side wall 8 of the panel connector 2, respectively.

(Effects of the Invention) According to the panel assembly of the present invention, the shape of both ends of the panel is simple and the formation thereof is extremely simple, and there is a great advantage that once the panel is assembled, there is no fear of it coming off unintentionally due to wind or the like.
