Abstract

"INSULATION MEANS FOR CORRUGATED METAL BUILDINGS"
ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE
Synthetic spacer rods or posts are screw threadably engaged upon the inner ends of bolts used to fasten or secure adjacent lengths of corrugated sheets together when the build-ing is constructed. Batts of insulation are then engaged over the spacers running perpendicular to the troughs and crests of the corrugated sheeting and are held in place by metal or plas-tic strips engaged over the extending ends of the spacer posts and running parallel to the run of the troughs. These are fastened by friction nuts or the equivalent engaged over the distal ends of the spacer posts.

Description

"INSULATION MEANS FOR CORRUGATED METAL BUILDINGS"
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

This invention relates to new and useful improve-ments in means for insulating corrugated metal buildings.
Such buildings are extremely difficult to insulate due to the difficulty in holding the insulation in place and to ensure that the insulation molds substantially to the con-figuration of the metal walls and ceiling. These metal walls and ceilings are usually corrugated and comprise a plurality of troughs and crests being formed by adjacent sections of metal bolted together to form the errected structure.

SUMMARY OF T~E INVENTION

The present invention overcomes these disadvantages by providing means to hold insulation in position and to ensure that it molds itself substantially to the configuration of the surface and one aspect of the invention comprises means for in-sulating corrugated metal building structures and the like, in which said structures include a plurality of elongated metal channels having side walls and extending side flanges-formed on said side walls and bolted together through adjacent flanges to form a corrugated section comprising a plurality of alternating troughs and crests with the distal ends of the attaching bolts extending through the bolted flanges at the bases of the troughs; said means comprising in combination spacer posts at-tached to the distal ends of the bolts and extending perpendi-cularly of the corrugated section, flexible insulation engaged "' ' "

~ -2-over the distal ends of the spacer posts and running substan-tially at right angles to the run of the troughs, and means engaging the distal ends of the spacer posts to retain the in-sulation thereon said means running substantially parallel with the troughs, said flexible insulation following substantially the transverse contour of the corrugated section.
Another aspect of the invention consists of providing means whereby a corrugated building can be readily insulated and is economical in structure, simple in construction and otherwise well suited to the purpose for which it is designed.
With the foregoing in view, and other advantages as will become apparent to those skilled in the art to which this invention relates as this specification proceeds, the invention is herein described by reference to the accompanying drawings forming a part hereof, which includes a description of the pre-ferred typical embodiment of the principles of the present in-vention, in which:

In the drawings like characters of reference indi-cate corresponding parts in the different figures.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Proceeding therefore to describe the invention in de-tail, reference should first be made to Figure 1 which shows a part of a building collectively designated 10 made from corru-gated metal sections 11 and including side walls 12, a curved roof 13 and a front wall 14 within which doors 15 may be placed.
The individual corrugated sections are shown clearly in Figure 3 and it will be noted that each section is in the form of a channel consisting of a base 16, upwardly and outward-ly inclining side walls 17 and offstanding outer flanges 18 ex- -tending from the upper sides of the side walls and running parallel to the base 16. Adjacent channels are bolted together by the overlapping flanges 18 by means of nut and bolt assemb-~lies l9 with the inner ends 20 of the bolts extending inwardly of the building and being situated in longitudinally extending troughs 21 formed alternately with the crests 22 of the formed corrugated section~ it being understood that the crests com-prise the bases 16 of the individual channels.
It will also be observed that in general, the troughs , ' : ' .. - . - - . , ,. - .. . . . , : .

and crests 21 and 22 extend vertically of the walls 12 and transversely of the longitudinal axis of the building, through the roof portion 13.
This gives an extremely strong and rigid self-sup-porting building which is often used for manufacturing, tem-porary office buildings, storage facilities and the like. It will of course be appreciated that it is difficult to insu-late such structures particularly with batt type insulation in which it is desired that the batt follows the contour of the corrugated section, particularly the corrugated section of the roof portion 13.
Means are provided to enable such insulation to be secured to the inner surface or underside of the roof and to the inner surface of the side walls and end walls of such structures. Said means takes the form of a spacer post col-lectively designated 23 and preferably made of synthetic plas-tic in order to insulate the inner ends and to provide a thermal barrier between the metal forming the structure and the inner ends of the posts thereby preventing frost, conden-sation and the like from forming thereon. However it will be appreciated that under certain circumstances, such as when the insulation i5 primarily for the exclusion of heat, then such posts can be made of metal if desired.
The posts 23, in this embodiment, take the form of an inner end portion 24, the outer configuration of which is hexagonal as shown in Figure 5 so that a wrench can be engaged thereon. A concentric bore 25 is formed within this end por-~ .

tion 24 and ls screw threaded so that it may be screw thread-ably engaged over the inner end portion 20 of the nut and bolt assembly 19 as clearly shown in Figure 7.
The central portion 26 of the post preferably tapers as illustrated and then terminates in an inner end portion 27 which is screw threaded as clearly shown and is provided with a pointed or sharpened distal end ~8, the purpose of which will hereinafter be described. A nut type washer 29 may be screw threadably engaged over the portion 27 after installation or, alternatively, a conventional push on type friction washer (not illustrated) may be utilized.
The posts are engaged over the ends of bolts 20 after the structure has been erected so that they extend in spaced relationship from the troughs 21 of the structure. Flexible insulation 30 is then engaged over the ends of these spacer posts, the pointed ends 28 of which facilitate the piercing of the insulation. This insulation ~ay be in batt form or, pre-ferably, batt form with at least one surface (the outer surface) being covered by paper, plastic or the like in order to retain the insulatlon therein. The batts run perpendicular to the direction of the troughs 21 and by pushing it upwardly upon the posts, the insulation molds itself to the transverse pro-file of the surface of the corrugated section against which it is engaged as clearly shown in Figure 3.
Means are provided to hold the batts in position, said means taking the form of metal, wooden or plastic strips .:

which are apertured and engage over the posts and run longi-tudinally of the troughs 21 as clearly shown in Figures 2 and 3. Figure 6 shows a metal or plastic strip 31 apertured as at 32 for engagement over the ends of posts 23 and it will be observed that it is slightly curved and designed specifi-cally to follow the curvature of the roof section 13. How-ever thin wooden straps can be used if desired as shown in Figure 2 and these will either bend slightly due to the flex-ibility thereof or, alternatively, can be short enough that they do not need to bend but will still hold the insulation in position.
These strips are held in position either by the a-forementioned flat washer type screw threaded components 29 or by the engagement of push type friction washers (not illus-trated) upon the distal end portions of the spacer posts 23.
It is of course appreciated that the batts are engaged in side by side relationship so that the entire inner surface of the structure may be insulated and held in position readily and easily.
Since various modifications can be made in my inven-tion~as hereinabove described, and many apparently widely dif-ferent embodiments of same made within the spirit and scope of the claims without departing from such spirit and scope, it is intended that all matter contained in the accompanying specifi-cation shall be interpreted as illustrative only and not in a limiting sense.
