configuration and relies upon a biased contact between various features of the mounting portion 18 and the receiver 20 to accomplish the rigid interlock between the adjacent panels 10 11 the various features of the interlocking panel that will be discussed in detail below are preferably 0 070 inch in thickness but may vary depending upon the specific requirements of the fence it should be understood that the above referenced dimension is only exemplary and is not intended to limit the scope of the invention fig2 depicts the side wall 12 transitioning into the mounting portion 18 which comprises a first bend 24 of about 90 degrees that transitions into a shoulder 26 the mounting portion shoulder 26 transitions into a second bend 28 of about 90 degrees that leads into a strut 30 before encountering a third bend 32 the third bend 32 of about 90 degrees extends upwardly toward the second side 16 and leads into an upright 34 before encountering a knee 36 the knee 36 extends into a flange 38 that extends angularly away from the second side 16 at the furthest most reach of the flange 38 is the contact edge 40 wherein force is applied against the base leg 66 of the receiver 20 when the mounting portion 18 is inserted into the receiver 18 an alternative configuration as will be discussed in more detail below utilizes the entire or potentially a portion of the flange 38 for engagement against the base leg 66 it is the biasing force of the base leg 66 against the contact edge 40 or a greater portion of the flange 38 that drives the mounting portion 18 further into the receiver 20 securely interlocks the two components and provides for an.
