Abstract:
1. A wall structure comprising: a support; a plurality of similarly-shaped clips, each of the clips including; fastener means for mounting at least a pair of neighboring clips in vertically-spaced locations on the support; an elongated horizontal first panel having an outer face, and an inner face, the first panel being mounted on said pair of neighboring clips, said first panel having a first panel lip slidably received in the horizontal first channel; and an elongated horizontal second panel which is identical to said first panel and is slidably receivable in a second channel disposed between the first panel and the support, such that the first panel is parallel to the second panel; wherein each of the elongated panels has an upper tapered face which depends from the outer face and terminates at a first flat surface, said first flat surface is proximate and parallel to the inner face and runs the length of the panel, wherein an uppermost edge of the first flat surface extends beyond an uppermost edge of the inner face to define said second channel; wherein each of the elongated panels has a lower tapered face which runs from the outer face toward the inner face parallel to said upper tapered face and terminates at a second flat surface which is co-planar with said first flat surface, the lower tapered face and second flat surface defining a groove that is complementary in shape to a profile defined by the upper tapered face and first flat surface.
