Instead, as described above, the rubber packing member 26b is provided on both side edges in the width direction. The pressing edges 27a and 27b are provided along the edges.

Thus, also in the case of this embodiment, when the key plate member (fitting member) 18b is fitted in the recessed portion 16b of the spacer member 14b, the edges of both flat panels 10a, 10b are made of rubber. The packing members 26b are clamped and fixed on the spacer member 14 by pressing edges 27a and 27b provided on both side edges of the packing member 26b. In the key plate member 18b once fitted into the recessed portion 16b of the spacer member 14b, the bulging portion 24 provided at the tip of the sandwiching plate 22b also has the recessed portion of the spacer member 14b together with the rubber packing member 26b. The key plate member 18b is fitted into the 16b and is difficult to remove, and even in this case, the key plate member 18b is not accidentally removed and the flat panels 10a and 10b are not peeled off.

FIG. 5 shows a modification of the second embodiment. This embodiment uses a T-shaped key plate member as described above. In this embodiment, as in the embodiment shown in FIG. 4, both flat panels 10a and 10b are attached to the panel abutting surface of the spacer member 14c by the double-sided adhesive tape 28 with a slight gap between the edges. Then, the rubber packing member 26c is placed so as to straddle the end edges of both the flat panels 10a and 10b, and the T-shaped key plate (fitting member) 18c is placed on the recessed portion of the spacer member 14c together with the rubber packing member 26c. 16 c, and at that time, the edges of both flat panels 10 a and 10 b are clamped and fixed to the spacer member 14 c by pressing edges 27 a and 27 b provided on both side edges of the rubber packing member 26 c, and at the same time, a T-shape is formed. Both flat panels 10a and 10b are clamped and fixed from above the rubber packing member 26c by pressing edges 21a and 21b provided on both side edges of the edge blinding plate 20c of the mold 18c.

In this embodiment, when the T-shaped key plate (fitting member) 18c is fitted into the recessed portion 16c of the spacer member 14c, the edges of both flat panels 10a and 10b are rubber-packed. The flat edges 10a and 21b of the T-shaped key plate 18c are not only pinched by the pressing edges 27a and 27b of the member 26c but also the pressing edges 21a and 21b of the T-shaped key plate 18c. The edge of 10b is more firmly clamped and fixed on the panel abutment member. Moreover, in the key plate 18c once fitted into the recessed portion 16c of the spacer member 14c, the bulging portion 24c provided at the tip of the fitting plate 22c is also fitted into the recessed portion 16c of the spacer member 14c together with the rubber packing member 26c. The key plate member 18c is inadvertently removed and the flat panels 10a and 10b are not peeled off.

It is needless to say that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention. For example, in the above embodiment, the dry van was assumed, but a sandwich panel material in which a heat insulating foamed plastic material or the like is sandwiched between aluminum plate materials is used as the exterior panel material like a box-type luggage compartment of a refrigerating vehicle. It can be easily guessed that it can be applied to the ones used.

In short, the gist of the present invention is that the flat panel forming the exterior surface of the box-type luggage compartment, such as a dry van, does not use rivets or screw screws, and the fitting member is attached to both flat panels from the exterior surface side. Both flat panels can be joined simply by fitting them into the recessed part of the panel abutment member abutted on the edge of the back surface.
