Definitions

  • the present invention comprises a self-supporting coachwork for a vehicle. e.g.. a semi-trailer or trailer of the kind in which the coachwork is constructed of pan els or plates fastened to uprights on the vehicle.
  • a means of fats tening two adjacent panels or plates to an upright or uprights forming part of the bodywork of a vehicle comprises deforming the panels or plates along two opposite edges to provide a fixing tongue or tongues and securing the tongue or tongues in a slot or slots provided in the upright.
  • FIG. I is a partial view in elevation of a vehicle.
  • the coachwork of which comprises wall plates or panels mutually connected with the aid of fastening means according to the present invention
  • FIG. 2 is a horizontal section on an enlarged scale. in the direction of the arrows IIII of FIG. I, of the uprights on the vehicle chassis to which are secured wall panels.
  • FIG. 3 is a side view of the wall panels of FIG. 2.
  • FIG. I there is shown a vehicle chassis C fitted with uprights indicated at 14 an Ishaped or H- shaped cross section. each upright including a rear flange 4 joined by a web 6 to a bifurcated front flange. The two limbs 7 of the front flange project laterally from the entrant end of a vertical slot 3 formed in the web 6.
  • the wall panels 1 are secured in position by bending their opposite edges at right angles as at 2 to the face of the panel as clearly shown in FIG. 2 so as to form fixing tongues and inserting the abutting flanges so formed into the slot.
  • the gauge of the sheet metal or. e.g.. plastics material, of which the panels are made. the panels may be a push (friction) fit in the slots 3.
  • the uprights are of H- shaped cross-section and are provided with holes or orifices in the webs 6.
  • This arrangement has the advantage that after the panels have been inserted into the slots 3 they can be fixed in position by deforming the portions of edge flanges 2 aligned with orifices 5, e.g.. by means of a punch tool. so that a positive interlock is obtained between the panels and the uprights.
  • This non-shiftable connection with the bodywork or uprights ensures that any shearing stresses are transferred thereto.
  • said uprights comprise rigid, non-deformable members extending vertically upwardly from said chassis.
  • each of said uprights having an I-shaped crosssectional configuration with opposite flanges joined by a web.
  • each of said uprights having a vertical slot extending through one of said flanges into said web. and the web of each of said uprights having aligned apertures extending therethrough on opposite sides of said slot;
  • each of said panels comprise members having opposite edges thereof bent along the entire length of the panel at right angles to the plane of the panel. thus forming inwardly turned panel flanges;
  • each pair of said adjacent panel flanges inserted in one of said slots being permanently deformed in the same direction transverse to the respective web into said apertures therein to provide nondetachable panel locking means for preventing removal of said panels from said uprights.
  • said method comprising the steps of:
  • each of said uprights having an l-shaped cross-sectional configuration with opposite flanges joined by a web;
