Abstract: A sidewall for a cargo container is provided having at least one pair of composite panels joined together. Each composite panel includes an inside and an outside face member, each member having a body portion and at least one joint portion. The inside face member of each composite panel has an inclined portion connecting the body and at least one joint portions. At least one joint portion of the inside face member of each composite panel is parallel to and abuts a joint portion of the outside face member of the composite panel, each composite panel having a core member sandwiched between and bonded to the body portions of the inside and outside face members. Adjacent composite panels are joined at an outer surface of a joint portion of the first or second member of a first composite panel which overlaps and abuts an outer surface of a joint portion of the first or second member of a second composite panel. The first composite panel and second composite panel are joined through logistics plate.

Abstract: A frameless container is disclosed for carrying cargo and having opposing sidewalls that are comprised of a plurality of panels. The plurality of panels have a coplanar relationship relative to each other and comprise a majority portion having an edge region that has apertures therein and an inner face portion which defines a vertical plane. The panels further comprise integral connecting and bracing means comprising a first inclined portion, first and second ledge portions each having an aperture therein, a plateau portion, and a plurality of fasteners extending through and clamped within respective apertures of the first and second ledges, as well as the apertures of the majority portion. The plurality of panels are arranged in a side-by-side manner with the bracing and connecting means of the forward first panel overlapping a section of the majority portion of the next panel.
