Joint assembly for plates

Abstract

The present invention discloses a new type joint assembly for plates. By using this new type joint component, it is possible to complete the riveting of the plate and the joint component during the manufacturing of the plate, detachment becomes easier, so it is convenient to maintain and disassemble the carriage body. While ensuring that the carriage body of the containers or the van trailers have relatively larger interior width, the inner and outer surfaces of the entire side panels are flat or substantially flat.
