연합인증

연합인증 가입 기관의 연구자들은 소속기관의 인증정보(ID와 암호)를 이용해 다른 대학, 연구기관, 서비스 공급자의 다양한 온라인 자원과 연구 데이터를 이용할 수 있습니다.

이는 여행자가 자국에서 발행 받은 여권으로 세계 각국을 자유롭게 여행할 수 있는 것과 같습니다.

연합인증으로 이용이 가능한 서비스는 NTIS, DataON, Edison 등이 있습니다.

한번의 인증절차만으로 연합인증 가입 서비스에 추가 로그인 없이 이용이 가능합니다.

다만, 연합인증을 위해서는 최초 1회만 인증 절차가 필요합니다. (회원이 아닐 경우 회원 가입이 필요합니다.)

연합인증 절차는 다음과 같습니다.

최초이용시에는
ScienceON에 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 로그인 (본인 확인 또는 회원가입) → 서비스 이용

그 이후에는
ScienceON 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 서비스 이용

연합인증을 활용하시면 KISTI가 제공하는 다양한 서비스를 편리하게 이용하실 수 있습니다.

The panel of claim 1 wherein said female connector further comprises: a first wall from which said first ridge protrudes;a second wall opposite said first wall; anda second ridge protruding from said second wall. 3. The panel of claim 2 wherein said first ridge is opposite said second ridge. 4. The panel of claim 2 wherein said male connector further comprises: a second flange extending from said second side portion of said second prong;wherein said second flange of said male connector is adapted to be pushed beyond or slid over a second ridge of said female connector of said adjacent, substantially similar panel when said male connector is inserted in said female connector of said adjacent, substantially similar panel in said insertion direction to assist with locking said panels together in said press fit such that said male connector is adapted to resist being withdrawn from said female connector of said adjacent, substantially similar panel in said direction opposite said insertion direction. 5. The panel of claim 4 wherein: said first flange extends from a tip of said first prong; andsaid second flange extends from a tip of said second prong. 6. The panel of claim 4 wherein said male connector further comprises: a channel formed between said first prong and said second prong;wherein said first prong and said second prong are adapted to flex toward each other when said first flange and said second flange are pushed beyond or slid over said first ridge and said second ridge, respectively, of said female connector of said adjacent, substantially similar panel when said male connector is inserted in said female connector of said adjacent, substantially similar panel in said insertion direction. 7. The panel of claim 1 wherein the panel is hollow. 8. The panel of claim 1 wherein the panel is comprised of a material selected from the group consisting of vinyl and cellulosic-filled plastic composites. 9. The panel of claim 1 wherein said male connector further comprises a second flange extending from a second side portion of a second prong; wherein said first side portion is substantially parallel to said second side portion. 10. The panel of claim 1 wherein said male connector is adapted to slide relative to said female connector of said adjacent, substantially similar panel in a direction perpendicular to said insertion direction in order to unlock said panels. 11. The panel of claim 1 wherein: said second proximal portion is substantially parallel to said second recessed channel; andsaid second side portion of said second prong is substantially parallel to said first side portion of said first prong. 12. A panel comprising: a female connector comprising a first ridge on a first wall and a second ridge on a second wall; anda male connector adapted to be inserted in a female connector of an adjacent, substantially similar panel, said male connector comprising: a first prong comprising a first side portion having a first proximal portion and a first recessed channel relative to said first proximal portion, said first proximal portion substantially parallel to said first recessed channel;a second prong comprising a second side portion having a second proximal portion and a second recessed channel relative to said second proximal portion, said second proximal portion substantially parallel to said second recessed channel, and said second side portion of said second prong substantially parallel to said first side portion of said first prong;a first flange extending from said first side portion of said first prong; anda second flange extending from said second side portion of said second prong;wherein said first proximal portion is spaced a first distance from said second proximal portion, said first recessed channel is spaced a second distance from said second recessed channel, and said first distance is greater than said second distance; andwherein said first flange and said second flange of said male connector are adapted to be pushed beyond or slid over a first ridge and a second ridge, respectively, of said female connector of said adjacent, substantially similar panel when said male connector is inserted in said female connector of said adjacent, substantially similar panel such that said first recessed channel and said second recessed channel of said male connector are adapted to receive said first ridge and said second ridge, respectively, of said female connector of said adjacent, substantially similar panel. 13.
