Abstract
A panel interlock system for connecting a plurality of wall panels together is disclosed. A locking clip is attached to the vertical edges of each wall panel. A vertical filler tube is used to connect adjacent wall panels together. The vertical filler tube is disposed between wall panels and slid down over locking clips which engage inner grooves extending through the length of the vertical filler tube. The vertical filler tube engages the locking clips in a concealed cam-action fastening technique.
