Abstract
A panel joint for joining a non-metallic panel member and a metallic panel member. A metallic joining member having elongated slots, and metallic spacer members fixed to the non-metallic panel member, cooperate to clamp the metallic panel member to the non-metallic panel member, with the orientation of each slot and a tapered transition on each spacer member providing first and second different clamping forces in response to a predetermined vertical movement of the joining member.
