Abstract:
Jointed metal plates and the manufacturing method thereof are provided, in which a first plate can be end-to-end connected to a second plate. The first plate has protrusions on its jointing edge, while the second plate has recesses on its jointing edge. The protrusions of the first plate are embedded in the recesses of the second plate respectively in a manner that the first plate is fixed with respect to the second plate. Thereby, welding process can be omitted when two metal plates are to be fixed end-to-end. The disadvantages of the welding process can be prevented. The manufacturing efficiency can be increased, while the manufacturing cost can be reduced.

Claim (Index 7):
The manufacturing method of  claim 4 , wherein the first plate and the second plate each has an upper surface and a bottom surface, the protrusions as a whole has a first side edge, the first side edge comprises a first reference surface and a first rupture surface, the first reference surface is perpendicular and connected to the upper surface of the first plate, the first rupture surface is connected to the bottom surface of the first plate, there is an internal obtuse angle between the first rupture surface and the first reference surface, the recesses as a whole has a second side edge, the second side edge comprises a second reference surface and a second rupture surface, the second reference surface is perpendicular and connected to the upper surface of the second plate, the second rupture surface is connected to the bottom surface of the second plate, there is an internal obtuse angle between the second rupture surface and the second reference surface, the first reference surface is in contact with the second rupture surface, the first rupture surface is in contact with the second reference surface.
