(54)	Panels for demountable structures

(57) A panel (10) is disclosed which with other similar panels (10) may be used to make demountable structures. The panel has means enabling its interengagement with other similar panels which are in the form of one or more hollow open ended cylinders (22) carried by U-shaped section edge members of the panel to lie substantially in the plane of the panel at a predetermined spacing one from another such that the extensions of a first panel may lie between the extensions of a second panel when edges (14,16,18,20) of the first and second panels are brought into register with one another to enable a pin member (44) to be passed through and be received in the extensions to couple two panels together.
As described the panel is of a moulded plastics material and has a generally flat and ribbed the central section.
Apparatus including the panels further comprises pin members and closure members (48) having arms for (481,482,483) receiving ends of the pin member (44) coupling panels together.
Demountable structures made from the panels are described as are methods of making those structures.
