The present invention provides an electronics panel which includes a unitary extrusion of substantially constant cross section which is horizontally mounted to a supporting vertical structure. The extrusion has a back plate mounted flush to the supporting structure, a top plate which projects forwardly from the back plate at a position spaced downwardly from the top edge of the back plate, and a front plate parallel to the back plate and projecting downwardly from the forward edge of the top pla...

A building panel of composite wood materials adapted to cover intersecting surfaces on opposite sides of an apex at the hip or ridge of a roof or corner of a building includes a substantially flat back face and an irregular outer weather face resulting in variations in panel thickness at different positions on the panel face. The panel is provided with a V-shaped groove formed in the back face and extending along an axis adapted to overlie the apex of intersection on application of the panel on ...

A building panel of wood composite material includes inner and outer faces outlined by opposite ends and upper and lower edges. The panels are adapted to be placed end-to-end in courses or rows arranged in parallel to extend upwardly from a lower edge or eave to cover a building wall or roof structure. Each panel includes an outer face having a lower portion of substantial surface area adapted for exposure to the weather and an upper portion of relatively smaller surface adapted to underlie one ...

The invention is concerned with a panel assembly including at least two panels and a connector member for mounting the panels to a support surface, the panels being positioned edge-to-edge in coplanar relationship with the respective confronting edges thereof spaced apart, and the connector member between the confronting panel edges and interlocking the panels together by being fixedly secured to the support surface. Each panel has first and second surfaces lying respectively in first and second...

A thermal panel comprises (a) a body including a solar radiation transmitting lens sheet, having opposite surfaces characterized in that solar radiation incident on one surface is focussed at one or more narrow zones at the body opposite surface, (b) a coating on said body opposite surface and defining aperture means in registration with one or more of said narrow zones, whereby solar radiation focussed at said zones may pass through said aperture means, and (c) said coating having a reflective ...

A building panel (10, 20, 30, 31, 32, 60 and 70) having spaced first and second outer layers (11, 12), a covering layer (15) bonded to an exterior surface of at least one of the outer layers, and a connecting member (13, 14, 64, 71) extending across the space between the first and second layers and joined to both layers. The first and second outer layers are made of furan resin reinforced with glass fibers.

Cab panel structures and methods for their assembly on an overhead guard of a land vehicle. A metal roof panel can be used alone or with a metal frame windshield panel for a partial enclosure. The metal roof and windshield panels can be used with complimentary fabric panels that afford a full enclosure or with complimentary steel panels that afford a full enclosure of high durability. The metal panels are attached to the overhead guard posts in a unique clamp-on method that avoids the need for d...

A control panel includes a cover plate and at least one cap-shaped control key or button. The key includes a cap-shaped plastic substrate the side wall of which includes a light-block cylindrical portion for preventing light from leaking out through the side wall, even if the light-block coating formed on the outer surface of the side wall is not sufficient.

A panel is disclosed that is formed from a planar, substantially inflexible cellulosic substrate having a rough or uneven surface, at least one layer of paper or veneer and a layer of an electrically conductive wire mesh or metal foil interposed between the substrate and the layer of paper or veneer. The substrate and the layers are bonded together with a layer of a polyolefin that has been grafted with an ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid or anhydride. The polyolefin is a homopolymer of...

A panel fixture adapted to be inserted into a cavity formed in a panel, the panel fixture releasably receiving an accessory. The panel fixture can be mounted within a routed cavity in a panel or wall such that its faceplate can be substantially flush with the panel surface or wall surface to provide a convenient, randomly selected location for supporting an accessory such as a hook bracket or a shelf support bracket. The mounting of the panel fixture into the cavity simultaneously holds the pane...
