Patent ID: 8528288

Claim:
An insulated panel arrangement, comprising: an insulated panel having a pair of opposed left and right panel ends and a pair of opposed top and bottom panel ends, said insulated panel including parallel, spaced-apart inner and outer planar skins defining an interior space between said inner and outer planar skins, and an insulated core extending between said inner and outer planar skins and generally filling said interior space; wherein each of said planar skins has a pair of opposed top and bottom edges and a pair of opposed left and right edges, with at least one pair of opposed edges on each of said planar skins being bent toward the other of said planar skins to define two pairs of first and second opposed end faces located at respective first and second opposed panel ends; a hook assembly at the first of said respective opposed panel ends; and a pin assembly at the second of said respective opposed panel ends, directly opposite the hook assembly so that, when two of said insulated panels are placed end to end, with the first respective opposed panel end of one panel abutting the second respective opposed panel end of the other panel, the hook assembly on the one panel engages the pin assembly on the other panel to hold the two panels together; wherein said pin assembly at said second opposed panel end includes a pin defining an inner end portion and an outer end portion, said pin lying between and extending perpendicular to said inner and outer planar skins; and inner and outer pin support members which are located in said interior space; each of said inner and outer pin support members having an end surface which bears against the second opposed end face of one of the inner planar skins; wherein said inner and outer pin support members support said pin; wherein said hook assembly includes two spaced-apart hooks mounted for rotation on a rod and a spacer between said two spaced-apart hooks, said rod defining an inner end portion and an outer end portion and lying between and extending perpendicular to said inner and outer planar skins; and inner and outer rod support members which support said rod; each of said inner and outer rod support members having an end surface which bears against the first opposed end face of one of the planar skins; wherein at least a portion of the end surface of said inner rod support member is directly opposite the end surface of said inner pin support member, and at least a portion of the end surface of said outer rod support member is directly opposite the end surface of the outer pin support member.
