Abstract

ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE

Prefab building panel structures of the type comprising prefab panels adapted to be joined together to form walls and characterized by being made with both the exterior and the interior sheathing inclusive of internal furring and an air space, with a strip of plastic sealant to automatically seal the panels along the mating edges upon assembly, with internal wiring for readily connection to an electrical power supply system, with a box-like header beam to readily support loading thereon while providing heat insulation, and with box-like corner posts to provide heat insulation and resistance to torsion.

Description

Thi~ inven~ion relates to prefab building structures and, more particularly, to prefab building panel~ of the type adapted to be joined together to form walls and partitlons of a building.
It i8 an ob~ect of the present invention to provide a prefab building psnel structure of the above type wlth both faces provided with sheathing thereon lncluslve of an alr space ln the interior sheathlng, thus mlnimizing the labor and skill requirement on the building site.
It is another object of the present invention to provlde a prefab building panel structure of the above type, wherein furrlng is positioned horizontally to resist torsion Or the panels.
It is a further ob~ect of the present invention to provide a prefab building panel structure pf the above type with a 30int thst includes a strip or run of pla~tlc sealant to readily and automatlcally ~eal the panele one to another upon edgewise assembly of one to another at msting edges.
It 18 still another ob~ect of the present invention to provide prefab building panels readily msde in standard lengths, preferably in multiples of four feet, such as of four, eight, twelve feet, or more and that are constructed and arranged to conveniently use building panels of standard snd ~ingle size, such as of the current 4' by 0' size, without having to cut them and waste portions thereof.
It is another ob~ect of the present invention to provide prefab building panels that include electrical wiring that is factory installed in them for faster erection of buildings and saving on electricians.
~û It is a stlll further objsct of the present inuention to prouide prefab building panels that embody box-like header beams along the upper edge to prouide a strong support for loading thereon and good heat insulation. Yet another object of thH present inusntion is to provide building panels some of which form box-like corner posts for good heat insulation and resistance to torsion.

:~133674 The twD-stOrey building ~tructure in figure l i~
characterized by the use o~ prefab bullding panels l according to one embodiment of the present invention.
The prefab building panels 1 constitute out~ide wall-Pormlng panel~ and they rest upright on thé edge of the corresponding ~loors 2 and 3. The detalls Or constructlon of floor~ 2 and 3 and ar the roof do not form part of the present in~ention and need not be derined in details.
Each panel l comprises a core ~ormed o~ a wood frame with ineulation in the spaces defined by the frame.
The frame o~ each panel l includes a sole plate 4, studs 19 projecting sndwlse upright ~rom the sole plate, a header beam 5, fixed on the upper end Or the studs, and a double top plate 6 fixed on the header beam 5 and extending therewlth co-extenslve with the sole plate 4. The core also includes insulation 7 filling the spaces between the studs. The header beams 5 are of box-like construction as shown in Figure 1, the hollow lnterlor of which i8 filled with insulation 7'.
2û Each penel l is also prefabricated with sh3athing against each Or the two opposite races Or the core.
The sheathing on the outside face of the core is made Or one or more sheets 8, of plywood, partiele board, in~ul board, or the like, in edgewise engagement one with another.
The sheathing on the inside face of the core is formed o~ an insulation sheet 9 secured againet the rrame, ~urring 10 laid horizontally against the insulation sheet 9 and a plaster board ll secured against the rurring 10 and cooperati~ely forming an air space 12 between the sheets 9 and ll.
The prefab building panal 13, ehown in Figures 3~ 4, and S, are prefab wsll panels almilar to the pre~ab wall panels l but without header beam S and additionally including a bullt-in electrical wiring. The latter comprises a conventional wall outlet box 14, properly and conventionally mounted to havo its race outwardly extending through the ingide ghesthing. The electrical wiring also includes a wall switch unit 15, also adequately installed, and electrical conductors or wire816 and 17 interconnecting the electric outlet box 14 and the wall switch unit 15 and connecting the latter through the top plsts 5 to an external connactor l~.
The latter allow~to connsct the electric wiring of each prefab panel, such as 13, to an electrical power supply system hooked to a conventional electric entrance panel.
As shown in Figures 3, 4, and 5, but also applicable to the other prefab build$ng panels of the present invention, the sheathing on one side i8 offset edgewise in one direction, while the sheathing on the other side is offset edgewise in the opposite direction horizontally but preferably also vertically. ~igure 4 particularly illustrates the ovor-lapping at a vertical joint between two panels 13 produc3d by the afore-mentioned offsetting of the sheathing relative to the studs 19 along the vertical ~oint. A strlp, or run o~ plastlc sealant 20, 18 provlded against and along one of the studs 19. As shown in figure 5, upon edgewise assembly of two prefab panels 13, the sealant automatically flows between the two adjoining studs 19 to form an air seal between them. Then, the sheathing ~ of one panel overlaps the stud 19 along the edge of the other panel, while the sheath~ng 9-11 overlaps in the other direction~ that is the stud lg of the first panel.
The prefab panel 21, shown in figure 6, constitutes a partition panel including a core with sheathing ~gainst its opposite faces. The core in this case is merely formed of a non-insulated frame includlng studs 19. The sheathlng on each slde i8 alike and merely lncludes a plaeterboard psnel or sheet 22. A plpe section 23 is held upright in the partition panel 21 to form a convenient passage for electrical wlring or piping. In panel 21, the offset sheathing has been trimmed at each end for flat abutment of the outmost atuds 19 against the panels againat which the panel 21 stops.

~ ~ -5-.. ~ , . .

113~674 The prafab building panel 24 in Figure 7 al~o congtitutsg a part$tion panel including a non-insulated ~rame repres~nted by the studs 19 and plasterboard 22 ~orming the sheathing on each of its opposlte faces. For ths rema~nder, the panel 24 includes an electrical wiring 14, 15, 16, 17, and 1~, es a~ore~
descrd~ed ln relation to the wall panel 13 of Figures 3, 4, and 5.
In Figure ~, there is shown a prerab bullding panel similar to the wall panel 13 shown in Fig4re~ 3, 4, and 5, except that it does not include electrical wiring.
In Figure 9, there i9 shnwn an outside corner according to the prssent 1nvention and made with wall panels, of any construction, as in Figures 1, 3 or 8. Thus, these wall panels also include a ~rame with studs 19, insulation 7 between the studs, external shsathing~ 8 and internal sheathing 9-11. One of these pansls is mads at ons end to provide ordinary or conventional studding arrangement.
The other o~ said pan~l~ forme a box-like corner post consisting of studs 19' and 19" arranged in a U ~illed with insulation 7". The sheathing, inside and outside, is also prefabricated with appropriate and complementary edgewise offsetting to properly lap both inside and outside, as shown. A metal plate 25 is preferably secured to hold the corner joint in firm engagement. The box-like corner past provides better insulation than a solid post while it gives at least equal resistance to torsion.
The frames o~ each panel i8 preferably made 4' or a multiple of 4', such that the sheathing can be made also with sheets of that 6tandard width to minimize cutting and wastage o~ sheathing material.
The floor plan o~ Flgure 2 may be con~tructed with 1!
wall panels 1 and 13 and wall corners, aa in Figure 9, and the partition6 may bè made with any combination o~ the part-ition panels 21 and 24.
The box-like header beams 5 can also be used as lintels ~or door and window openings.
