Abstract
Abstract A sheet metal construction material for trailers, mobile homes and the like in which baffles are placed in spaced relation on the external surface in order to control the wind currents over the surface of the material and thereby eliminate or minimize the sound created by flexing of the installed material. A baffle may also be placed on the inner side of the material to give rigidity or support to the roofing material.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
116 words
Sheet construction material for trailers, mobile homes and like vehicles, comprising a panel of material for attachment to the vehicle structure, said panel constructed of a plurality of parallel seCtions and a plurality of yieldable bafflelike members secured to one side of said panel and located on said panel in spaced relation to one another, in which a joint used to secure the sections together consists of a U-shaped flange on adjacent edges of the section and a cap having inwardly turned flanges interlocking with the flanges on said sections, and in which said bafflelike members have a flange near their inner edge extending inwardly into the joint between said cap and one of the sections.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
116 words
Sheet construction material for trailers, mobile homes and like vehicles, comprising a panel of material for attachment to the vehicle structure, said panel constructed of a plurality of parallel seCtions and a plurality of yieldable bafflelike members secured to one side of said panel and located on said panel in spaced relation to one another, in which a joint used to secure the sections together consists of a U-shaped flange on adjacent edges of the section and a cap having inwardly turned flanges interlocking with the flanges on said sections, and in which said bafflelike members have a flange near their inner edge extending inwardly into the joint between said cap and one of the sections.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
23 words
A sheet construction material as defined in claim 1 in which said bafflelike members are mounted on the external surface of said panel.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
122 words
Sheet construction material for trailers, mobile homes and like vehicles comprising a panel of said material for attachment to the vehicle structure, said panel constructed of a plurality of parallel sections, and a plurality of yieldable bafflelike members secured to one side of said panel and located on said panel in spaced relation to one another in which a joint used to secure the sections together consists of a U-shaped flange on adjacent edges of the sections and a cap having inwardly turned flanges interlocking with the flanges on said sections, and in which a flange on the inner edge of each of said bafflelike members extends across said cap and extends thereunder between the sections on opposite sides of said cap.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
122 words
Sheet construction material for trailers, mobile homes and like vehicles comprising a panel of said material for attachment to the vehicle structure, said panel constructed of a plurality of parallel sections, and a plurality of yieldable bafflelike members secured to one side of said panel and located on said panel in spaced relation to one another in which a joint used to secure the sections together consists of a U-shaped flange on adjacent edges of the sections and a cap having inwardly turned flanges interlocking with the flanges on said sections, and in which a flange on the inner edge of each of said bafflelike members extends across said cap and extends thereunder between the sections on opposite sides of said cap.
