A wall construction comprising a plurality of wall panel sections interconnected by an anchoring plate which has a frustoconical hole at each of two ends. The ends are disposed in anchoring or connecting side members mounted in respective, mutually juxtaposed panel sections. The plate is connected with these members by connecting bolts, each of which has a bolt end portion for screwthreaded engagement with one of the anchoring side members, and an intermediate frustoconical bolt portion engaging an associated frustoconical hole of an anchoring or retaining bar or plate, so that when the connecting bolts are screw engaged with respective side members the frustoconical bolt portions of the bolts are shifted relative to the holes in the anchoring plate, whereby adjacent connecting members, with their panel sections, are drawn together to bear tightly against one another. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION With this in view there is now disclosed a novel way of attaching panels to one another, which entails applying a considerable pressure between the panels.
The joint achieved between panels is extremely robust and of long service life, while at the same time the formation of the joint, and also the construction of the elements required for achieving it, is uncomplicated.
It is a particular feature that the attachment means of one panel and the attachment means of the panel which is to be fixed thereto are identical, so that the panels equipped with the attachment means may be of a standard nature, whereby production can be improved.
According to one aspect of the invention therefore there is provided a wall construction comprising panel sections, joined by anchoring plates.
Each anchoring plate has a frustoconical hole at each of its ends, the ends being disposed in anchoring side members mounted in respective ones of mutually juxtaposed panel sections.
Connecting bolts are provided, each of which has an intermediate frustoconical portion and an end portion for screwthreaded engagement with a respective anchoring side member in mounted in a panel section.
Each connecting bolt has its lower portion passed through the respective hole formed in the anchoring plate, whereby when the axes of the connecting members are offset relative to the axes of the holes in the anchoring plate their intermediate frustoconical portions engage the associated frustoconical holes of the anchoring plate subject to a certain degree of eccentricity.
Thus, when the connecting bolts are fully screw engaged with respective anchoring side members the frustoconical portions of the connecting bolts are shifted relative to the holes in the anchoring plate; adjacent connecting bolts are moved towards one another; and the panel sections, associated with the connecting bolts are thereby drawn together to bear tightly against one another in assembly.
The practical efficiency of the above arrangement derives from the fact that a continuous pressure can be exerted between the panel sections, this pressure being greater than that which can be achieved using known forms of construction
