Patent attributes
A composite panel of a wall of a trailer has inner and outer skins and a core material positioned between and secured to the skins. The core material defines or includes a plurality of voids which extend vertically along a height of the core material. At a plurality of points in a cross-section taken along the height of the core material, the core material is secured to both the skins. Alternatively, at any point in a cross-section taken along the height of the core material, the core material is secured to at least one of the skins. The voids through the composite panel provide a vent path from an interior of the trailer to an exterior of the trailer when top ends of the voids are separated from the top rail of the trailer and when bottom ends of the voids are separated from the bottom rail of the trailer.
