  • the clip member 32 additionally includes a flat body portion 36 which is offset from and connected to the lip receiving portion 33 by an intermediate body portion 37.
  • the flat body portion 36 is provided with a central aperture 38.
  • the wing elements 27 extend outwardly from the subgirt 13 and are flexible in a direction parallel with the first and second side walls 18, 19 of the panels 11 between the normal position illustrated in solid lines and a depressed position illustrated in dotted outline.
  • the wing elements 27 are relatively inflexible in a direction normal to the first and second side walls l8, 19.
  • FIGS. 6 and 7 An alternative embodiment of the present joint retention means is illustrated in FIGS. 6 and 7 and comprises a clip member 40.
  • the clip member 40 presents a single wing element 27 extending outwardly from one of the upstanding flange portions 26a of the U-shaped base 24 and is inclined relative to the web 25.
  • the clip member 40 includes means (the upstanding flange portion 26a) for preventing rotation of the clip member 40 about an axis extending normal to the base 24, for example the central axis of 41 (FIG. 6) of the central aperture 29 (FIG. 7).
  • FIG. 8 illustrates an insulated wall structure 42 comprising an inner sheath assembled from plural liner sheets 43 presenting overlapping flanges 44; a layer of insulation 45 covering the interior surfaces of the liner sheets 43; horizontal girt members 46 (only one illustrated) secured to the overlapping flanges 44 by fasteners 47 (only one visible); and building panels or facing sheets 11A, 118.
  • the female lip 20 of the panel 11A is secured to the girt member 46 by the clip member 32 and fastener 39. It will be observed in FIG. 8 that the base 24 of the clip member 40 underlies the flat body portion 36 of the clip member 32 and also is secured to the girt member 46 by the fastener 39.
  • FIGS. 9 through 14 illustrate the installation of a building panel at a joint incorporating the present joint retention means 16.
  • the panel 11B is moved inwardly toward the subgirt 13 until the male lip 19 confronts the lengthwise channel 21 of the female lip 20.
  • the wing elements 27 being flexible in a direction parallel with the first and second side walls 18, 19 of the panels 11A, 11B are depressed inwardly toward the subgirt 13. Thereafter, the panel 11B is moved laterally to introduce the male lip 22 into the lengthwise channel 21.

It will be observed in FIG. 14 that the wing elements 27 present corresponding longitudinal edges 48 (only one visible) in confronting relation with a face 49 of the second side wall 19 which is remote from the first side wall 18. Since the wing elements 27 are relatively inflexible in a direction normal to the side walls 18, 19, the male lip 22 is confined within the lengthwise channel 21 of the female lip 20. A centering device, such as a lip clip 50 (FIGS. l3, l4), maintains the male lip 22 centered within the channel 21 of the female lip 20.
  • a centering device such as a lip clip 50 (FIGS. l3, l4), maintains the male lip 22 centered within the channel 21 of the female lip 20.

  • the clip member 55 also is secured to the subgirt 13 by the fastener 64 passing through the aperture 62 (FIG. 16) of the base portion 61.
  • the clip member 55 is positioned such that the corresponding first longitudinal edge 59 of a wing element 57 confront the first side wall 18 of the panel 11C.
  • the male lip 22 thereof is engaged with the flat end portions 58 of the wing elements 57 (FIG. 17).
  • the panel 11D is then pushed inwardly toward the subgirt 13 thereby depressing the wing element 57 toward the subgirt 13 and posi tioning the male lip 22 thereof for introduction into the female lip 20 (FIG. 18).
  • the panel 11D is displaced laterally toward the building panel 11C to introduce the male lip 22 into the lengthwise channel 21 of the female lip 20.
  • the wing elements 57 return to their normally inclined position and have their corresponding first longitudinal edges 59 confronting the face 49 of the second side wall 19 (FIG. 19). It will be observed in FIG. 19 that the wing elements 57 confine the male lip 22 within the female lip 20.
