DEFINITION

Classification: 52/782.1

COMPOSITE PREFABRICATED PANEL INCLUDING ADJUNCTIVE MEANS:

(under the class definition) Structure comprising a prefabricated panel (i.e., a member which is very thin relative to its width and length) which includes (a) a separate mechanical fastener (e.g., a nail, bolt, screw, etc.) securing components of the panel together; or (b) a mechanical structure facilitating securement of the panel to a separate support (e.g., a flange or an aperture at a panel edge for receiving a nail; or (c) multiple plies and a disparate, elongated edging or stiffener which extends outwardly of a major or edge face of the panel; or (d) a single ply and a disparate, elongated edging or edge face of the panel; or (e) spaced sheets having in-turned opposed flanges forming an edge of the panel.

(1) Note. The combination of an adhesive fastening means and a mechanical fastening means with a composite panel is classified in Class 52, subclasses 782.1+.

SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:

202+, auxiliary imperforate panel-like member attached to main panel, barrier, or frame.

208, for a panel clamped or sealed to a barrier wherein the panel is often of the "safety glass" sandwich type.

404.1+, for an insulating insert in a preconstructed barrier cavity.

443+, for a settable material facing adhered to imperforate area backer. 455+, sectioned imperforate facing within peripheral frame (e.g., plural panel door).

474+, for a panel held by a pre-positioned frame or shaft.

506.01+, facer attachable to disparate structure.

514, stiffened for split prevention in panels.

515+, for coated means specialized to use as a component of a static building construction.

556, for a shingle with a metal face and end covering.

576, for a cavity former within a module.

578+, for a panel with discrete edgewise connecting feature.

596+, for a stone-like module with a pre-formed dissimilar attached facing or edging; particularly subclass 612 for a layered module.

630, imperforate panel with integral reinforcing.

633+, openwork panels (e.g., grill, screen, or frame).

716.1+, in situ attached-type channel or trim strip (e.g., edging). SEE OR SEARCH CLASS

29, Metal Working,

897.32, for a metallic stock material product in the form of a web or sheet of indeterminate length or width. A patent for a product in the form of a web, sheet, or panel generally employed as a portion of a building structure and including specific structure to facilitate (a) securing thereof to a support, (b) attaching a facing to a core by an applied mechanical fastener or mating configuration, or (c) edge-to-edge mating with an adjacent unit will be placed in Class 52.

49, Movable or Removable Closures,

501+, for a composite panel having means particularly adapting it for use as a closure (e.g., lock).

428, Stock Material or Miscellaneous Articles, appropriate subclasses for a stock material product of single or plural layer form which is non-rigid or, if rigid, has no mechanical fastener or interfitting means for forming a structural combination between its components or with an adjacent unit or mounting structure.
