This invention relates to structural panels and par-ticularly to composite laminate insulated structural panels having inner and outer surfaces or s~ins, at le~st the outer one of which is inter-connected by side and end laps and to the novel skin sheets used in forming such laminates or as structural panels in their own right~
In the building and simllar trades there has long been a need ~or a structural panel ha~ing a satisfactory weatherproof joint wlth the next adjacent panel and preferably including .; .
spaced apart panels having an insulant therebetween. The common .:
practice in assembling metal panel buildings is to erect the girts a~d purlins forming the framework of the bu~lding and then to first ~asten an inner sheet to the assembled girts and purlins, -1then to fasten an insulation sheet to the inner sheet and finally .": ~
to ~asten an outer sheet through the insulation to the inner sheet and the girts and purlins o~ the frame. This practice i8 expensive and time-consuming involving three times a8 much time and ePfort as installing a single sheet to the girts and purlins .,.. ~
~o~ a building.
-1 20 I have invented a structural panel which eliminates the problems o~ prior art three step practices described above and which makes it pos~ible to install a superior panel wall or roo~ in a single step while providing improved weather sealing and insulating e~ectiveness. In a pre~erred embodiment of my invention, I provide a panel ~orming member and a composite structural panel ~ormed o~ t~lo such panel ~orming members and a ~ormed in situ ~oamed insulant which is sel~-adhered to the panel ',, ~orming sheets to ~orm a unitary composite structure. Alterna-tively, I may place cement asbestos, ~ibre-glass or any other in~ulating and/or ~ireproo~ material within the area between said B heets.

- Pre~erably, I provide a panel forming member com-prising a continuous sheet of material o~ substantially uniform . .:, ,~
thickness ~ormed to provide an outer face adapted to form an exposed wall surface and ~n inner opposite ~ace, opposite first and second side edges and opposite first and second end edges, said first side edge being bent to form a groove-like recess spaced from the outer ~ace and extending the length of the panel, ; -the second side edge being bent to form a tongue spaced from the - outer face and adapted to ~it within the groove-llke recess of the first edgeO Pre~erably, an insulated panel is formed by spacing two such members apart with the inner faces toward one another and the ~irst side edge of one ad~acent the second side , .,, .~,~, .
edge of the other to ~orm a box-like configuration into which an insulant is formed in SltU between and adhering to the inner faces o~ the two panel forming membersO Preferably, the two members are spaced so the first end edge o~ each extends beyond -the insulant to form an ovexlapping edge for assembly of panels end to end. Preferably at least one of the tongue and the groove ; is provided with a sealant slot extending its full length into which a resilient sealant is placed during assembly of adjacent side by-side members or panels as the case may be. The members used in ~orming an insulated panel are pre~erably spaced apart .
at the side edges so as to eliminate any continuous contact be-~ tween the two and thereby prevent heat exchange from one to the ; other and providing an area for insertion of a fastener which ~orms a blind ~astener to the exterior face. Pre~erably the in-sulant is urethane ~oam ~ormed in situ between the inner and outer sheets.

In Figures 1 and 2 I have illustrated a panel member -10 according to my invention which may be used alone or combined to ~orm an inqulated panel (Figure 3). The panel member 10 has !
side edge~ 15 a~d 16 which are bent to form inter~itting tongues and groove~ respectively. Edge 1~ is bent downwardly, then in-~`' 20 wardly, downwardly again and outwardly to ~orm a groove 19. ~dge , ~ 16 i~ ben~ ~own~ardly, then outwardly, downwardly and inwardly -~ to ~orm a s~uared or box tongue ~0 adapted to ~it within groove 190 In Figure 3 I have shown two panel forming members 10 and 11 which are ~paced apart by a ioamed in situ urethane ~oam insulant 12. The two panel ~orming members 10 and 11 have outer ~aces oi di~ierent conilgurations, that o~ eing per~ectly ~lat and planar, while that o~ 10 i8 generally planar but has a central ~; valley or trough portion 14 ~or decorative as well a~ utilitarian ,, ~ ~ ... ..

be identical.
The side edges 15 and 16 of member l0 aud 17 and l8 ~` of member ll are of like con~igurations. One side edge o~ each, l5 and 17 respectively, is bent to ~orm a groove l9. The second ~, :
side edge o~ each, 16 and 18 respectiYely, is bent to ~orm a box-llke tongue 20 adapted to ~it with groove l9. The base of tongue 20 o~ each is provided with a sealant slot 21 adapted to ` receive a resilient sealing strip 22 which may be in the ~oxm o~
; a hollow elastomer ring9 a mastic or similar resilient or flow~
; l0 able sealant~ Alternatively the sealant strip may take any of .
the ~orms shown in Figures 23 through 31 and 34 through 36, each , ~
. . . .
o~ which will be diSCUBBed in more detail herea~terO
The two members l0 and ll are assembled in spaced relation so that the bent side edges 15 and 16 and 17 and 18 .. , are spaced apart and out of contact with one another and the area , between the members is ~illed with ~oam or any insulating and/or ,1 ~ireproo~ material. Such insulated panels are assembled in a wall or roof by removing insulant from the gap between the side ,;
~ edges to ~orm a well and inserting a screw ~stener 23 or~ other ,; 20 xuitable ~astener through one member such as l0 into a girt or , ,;`1 ' ' purlin 2~ as the case may be. The next panel is joined by ~orc-ing the tongues 20 into grooves l0 o~ the two panels and fasten-ing the new panel with screws 23 or other suitable fastener in `,' ~! the ~ame manner a~ the ~irst assembled panel as shown in Figure

- Pre~erably, I provide a panel forming member com-prising a continuous sheet of material o~ substantially uniform . .:, ,~
thickness ~ormed to provide an outer face adapted to form an exposed wall surface and ~n inner opposite ~ace, opposite first and second side edges and opposite first and second end edges, said first side edge being bent to form a groove-like recess spaced from the outer ~ace and extending the length of the panel, ; -the second side edge being bent to form a tongue spaced from the - outer face and adapted to ~it within the groove-llke recess of the first edgeO Pre~erably, an insulated panel is formed by spacing two such members apart with the inner faces toward one another and the ~irst side edge of one ad~acent the second side , .,, .~,~, .
edge of the other to ~orm a box-like configuration into which an insulant is formed in SltU between and adhering to the inner faces o~ the two panel forming membersO Preferably, the two members are spaced so the first end edge o~ each extends beyond -the insulant to form an ovexlapping edge for assembly of panels end to end. Preferably at least one of the tongue and the groove ; is provided with a sealant slot extending its full length into which a resilient sealant is placed during assembly of adjacent side by-side members or panels as the case may be. The members used in ~orming an insulated panel are pre~erably spaced apart .
at the side edges so as to eliminate any continuous contact be-~ tween the two and thereby prevent heat exchange from one to the ; other and providing an area for insertion of a fastener which ~orms a blind ~astener to the exterior face. Pre~erably the in-sulant is urethane ~oam ~ormed in situ between the inner and outer sheets.
