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 2):
The jointed metal plates of  claim 1 , wherein the protrusions each has a neck and an engaging portion, the neck of each of the protrusions connects its corresponding engaging portion to the first plate member, a width of each of the engaging portions is larger than that of its corresponding neck in a width direction, which is perpendicular to the jointing direction and coincides with the extension plane of the first plate member, the recesses each has a throat portion and a concave portion, the throat portion of each of the recesses connects its corresponding concave portion to the second jointing edge, a width of each of the concave portion is larger than that of its corresponding throat portion in the width direction.
