Abstract A joint structure for fixing panel blocks on a side wall of a building in a manner such that the lower edge face of each panel block contacts closely with the upper edge face of the lower adjacent panel block to leave no gaps between the adjacent panel blocks. Each panel block is formed with a first blind bore extending vertically from the lower edge face thereof and a second blind bore extending vertically from the upper edge face thereof. The joint structure comprises first stud means anchored to the side wall of the building and having an exposed end extending beyond the exterior surface of the side wall of the building, second stud means anchored to each panel block and having an exposed end extending beyond the interior surface of each panel block, a positioning rod having one end inserted into the first blind bore of upper adjacent panel block and the other end inserted into the second blind bore of lower adjacent panel block, the positioning rod being pressed by the inner end of the second stud means to be fixedly held in position, and connector means having one end connected to the exposed end of the first stud means and the other end connected to the exposed end of the second stud means.
A joint structure for fixing panel blocks on a side wall of a building in a manner such that the lower edge face of the lower adjacent panel block, each panel block having a first blind bore extending vertically from the lower edge face thereof and a second blind bore extending vertically from the upper edge face thereof, said joint structure comprising first stud means anchored to said side wall of said building and having an exposed and extending beyond the exterior surface of said side wall of said building, second stud means anchored to each panel block and having an exposed end extending beyond the interior surface of each panel block, a positioning rod having one end inserted into said first blind bore of upper adjacent panel block and the other end inserted into said second blind bore of lower adjacent panel block, said positioning rod being pressed by the inner end of said second stud means to be fixedly held in position, and connector means having one end connected to said exposed end of said first stud means and the other end connected to said exposed end of said second stud means wherein said second stud means comprises a cylindrical anchor member having a threaded bore extending in the axial direction and a slitted end, and a male screw member inserted into said threaded bore of said cylindrical anchor member.
