Patent
·
OSTI ID:6548861
A prefabricated modular building assembly is described comprising: (a) circular ring means of substantial diameter; (b) lightweight contoured panels, each of the panels having arcuate top, bottom and side edges providing panels of identical size and contour; (c) the top edges conforming to the ring means; (d) means associated with each of the top edges cooperatively engaged with the ring means for positively securing the top edges and thereby the panels around the ring means; (e) one of the side edges of each panel including a tongue and the other side edge including a conforming groove; and, (f) compression securement means extending from the side edges of each panel. The securement means of adjacent panels is interengaged and draws the panels together so that the tongue of a panel is seated in and sealed by the groove of the adjacent panel for thereby rigidly interconnecting the panels and providing a self-supporting building assembly.
