Abstract
Abstract The panel board is made of modulated panel sections which interlock with each other and a frame in which the panel sections are removably retained to form a unit construction. The panel sections are the multiple of a unit which in the illustration example is square so that the panel section can be a rectangle having the dimension of two of the units or a square having a dimension of four of the units and the like.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
103 words
In a panel board, a frame having side rails and top and bottom cross members of inwardly presented channel section, module panel sections of sizes to be multiples of the size of the smallest unit assembled within the channel of the side elements to rest upon each other and the bottom cross member within the channel thereof, at least some of said panel sections having means for supporting valve and fittings thereon communicating with apertures through the panel sections, and means for releasably supporting the top cross member on the side rails providing channel means for securing the panel sections within the frame.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
103 words
In a panel board, a frame having side rails and top and bottom cross members of inwardly presented channel section, module panel sections of sizes to be multiples of the size of the smallest unit assembled within the channel of the side elements to rest upon each other and the bottom cross member within the channel thereof, at least some of said panel sections having means for supporting valve and fittings thereon communicating with apertures through the panel sections, and means for releasably supporting the top cross member on the side rails providing channel means for securing the panel sections within the frame.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
49 words
In a panel board as recited in claim 1, wherein the elements forming the side rails and top and bottom cross members are of H-section having flanges forming inwardly and outwardly facing channels with the outer ends of the flanges reversely bent to provide spaced inwardly presenting channel elements.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
46 words
In a panel board as recited in claim 1, wherein the panel sections are engaged within the inwardly presented channels of the side elements and top and bottom cross members and wherein an element of H-sections is disposed between the panel sections when in side-by-side relationship.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
50 words
In a panel board as recited in claim 3, wherein an electric control box has side bars provided thereon which extend within the presenting channels of the side rails and H-section elements or a pair of H-section elements so as to be located in a space to be occupied thereby.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
61 words
In a panel board as recited in claim 1, wherein the panel sections have slots in the side edges and wherein bars are disposed within the inwardly presenting channels of the side rails in position to extend into the slots of the panel section when the sections are slid downwardly thereover into engagement with the bottom cross member and each other.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
26 words
In a panel board as recited in claim 5, wherein the assembly of the panel section forms smooth planar front and rear surface within the frames.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
56 words
In a panel board as recited in claim 5, wherein additional bars are supported in the bottom cross member and spaced from each other and the side rail a distance which is the multiple of the unit panel section so that a plurality of rows of the panel sections may be assembled side-by-side within the frame.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
42 words
In a panel board as recited in claim 7, wherein an electric control box has outwardly presented channel sections at the sides in position to slide downwardly over a pair of the spaced bars and be located within the panel board area.
