Abstract:
A panel assembly comprising at least two SIP panels fixedly coupled together in a coplanar relationship by a coupling apparatus for fixedly coupling an edge surface of a first SIP panel to an edge surface of a second SIP panel in an abutting relationship so that the two SIP panels are coplanar. The coupling apparatus comprising at least one staple having a bridge and two embedding elements spaced apart along the length of the bridge. Each embedding element being adapted to embed into one of the two SIP panels so that the staple bridges the abutting edges and fixedly couples the two abutting SIP panels together in a coplanar relationship.

Claim (Index 11):
A method of mechanically fixing a SIP panel assembly, comprising the steps of:\n abutting at least two SIP panels, comprising at least a first SIP panel and a second SIP panel, together in a coplanar relationship, applying a coupling means for fixedly coupling an edge surface of the first SIP panel to an edge surface of the second SIP panel in an abutting relationship so that the two SIP panels are coplanar, the coupling means comprising at least one staple having a bridge and two embedding elements spaced apart along a length of the bridge so that each embedding element is embedded into one of the at least two SIP panels so that the staple bridges abutting edges of the at least two SIP panels and fixedly couples the at least two abutting SIP panels together in a coplanar relationship.
