Abstract
A sidewall of a trailer is formed from at least two composite panels joined together by a novel joining configuration. Each panel is formed from inner and outer thin metal skins and a plastic core sandwiched between the skins. In several embodiments, at least one of the skins has at least one end coined to as to compress the core between the skins to define a coined end section. A
logistics plate and a splicing member are used to join the panels together and are secured thereto by rivets.
The logistics plate and/or the splicing member may sit against the coined end sections. The splicing member may have flat top and bottom portions to facilitate in the attachment of the panels to the top and bottom rails of the trailer. In other embodiments, a logistics plate is secured by rivets to the panels for joining them together. The splicing member is eliminated and instead, the outer skin of at least one panel is extended to lie behind the logistics plate. In yet another embodiment, the inner skin may have rolled or formed grooves to provide a smooth transition from a logistics plate having rolled edges. An insert may be used between the skins where the rivets are inserted in any of the embodiments to substantially prevent compression of the panels.
