Abstract
A simplified building structure that can be extruded out of plastic to be used as inexpensive substitutes for walls, ceilings, roofs, posts, and other structural components. The structure includes elongated male and female means to connect two of the structural components together securely, either by longitudinally inserting one into the other or by snapping the male component transversely into the female component. For this purpose, the male component has resilient flanges that can be forced into a female slot, thereafter to spring apart to engage overhanging parts of juxtaposed edges of the slot to lock the two components rigidly together. Preferably, the flanged male spline is formed on top of a ridge, the side edges of which engage the juxtaposed edges of the female slot to prevent any transverse movement of one of the components relative to the other.
