Description
32~2 "INSULATED METAL SKI~NED PANEL ASSEMBL~"
BACKGROU~D OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to new and useful improvements in metal panel construction used for walls, partitions, and the like and particularly such metal panels which are insulated.
Conventionally, inner and outer skin panels are secured together with screws, bolts or by welding, with a rigid panel of foam plastic sandwiched therebetween.
Such panels are relatively expensive and labour intensive to manufacture and difficulty is encountered in joining adjacent panels together in a sealed relationship in order to prevent heat transfer through air leakage.
The present invention overcomes these disadvan-tages by providing a pair of identical skin panels, an outer panel and an inner panel, which may be interlocked together either around a sheet of rigid plastic or, in the preferred embodiment, injected with a foam urethane plastic or the like and which furthermore include over-lapping flanges when assembled which facilitate the seal-ed engagement of one panel with another.
In accoraance with the invention there is provided a substantiall~ rectangular insulated panel comprising in combination a pair of metal skin panels, an ~26~
outer skin panel and an inner skin panel, said skin panels being identical and each having one edge counter-angulated to define a flange extending from the plane of said skin panel, a wall portion extending pe~pendicular to the plane of the skin panel but spaced inwardly from the outer edge of said flange, a wall portion formed perpendicular to the plane of the skin on the opposite edge of said skin panel, means formed on said wall por-tions to secure said skin panels together to form said panel and insulation between said skin panels.
Another advantage of the invention is that the overlapping flanges provided along the two longitudinal edges may also be provided along the shorter edges if desired thus facilitating the junction of panels in end to end relationship although, because the panels can be made any reasonable length, they can usually be secured to vertical studs by the shorter ends.
Another advantage of the invention is that the panels can be made of any desired length and that the skin panels forming the assembled panel can easily be formed by conventional bending or breaking techniques well-known in the art of metal forming.
Yet another advantage of the invention is to provide a device of a character herein described in which ~63~Z
thermal breaks may be provided between adjacent panels if desired.
A still further advantage of the invention is to provide a panel assembly of a character here within described which is simple in construction, economically manufactured and otherwise well-suited to the purpose of which it is designed.
With the foregoing in view, and other advan-tages 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 best mode known to the applicant and of the preferred typical embodiment of the principles of the present invention, in which:

In the drawings like characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the different figures.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
~, Proceeding therefore to describe the invention in detail, reference should be made first to Figure 1 which shows an assembled wall panel 10 including an upper skin panel collectively designated 11 and a lower skin ~63Z~2 panel collectively designated 12.
It should be appreciated that both the inner and outer panels 11 and 12 are formed identically from sheet metal but are reversed one with the other for assembly purposes.
In the preferred embodimen-t, each panel is substantially rectangular and includes a flange 13 extending from the plane 1~ of the panel and counter-angulated as clearly shown in Figure 8.
The counter-angulated under portion 14 is then extended perpendicular to the plane 14 to form a wall portion collectively designated 15 and a pocket collec-tively designated 16 is formed upon the distal edge 17 of this wall portion 15 by counter-angulating the free edge upwardly towards the plane of the panel 14 and then down-wardly towards the edge 17, the downwardly extending portion 18 being spaced from the counter-angulated portion 19 to form the aforementioned pocket 16 parallel to the wall portion 15 but spaced inwardly therefrom.
r~n the opposite longitudinal edge of the panels ll and 12, a further wall portion 20 is formed perpen-dicular to the plane of 14 of the panel and which is adapted to engage in nesting relationship within the pocket 16 when the inner and outer panels are assembled to form the assembled panel ll.
In the drawings, the length of the wall portion 15 is greater than the length of the wall portion 20 but of course they may be equal if desired.
Means are provided to interlock the wall por-tions together and to retain them in the assembled posi-tion shown in Figure 1, said means taking the form of a plurality of projections 21 formed on the inner surface 22 of the wall portion 20 as shown in Figures 3 and 5, these projections being spaced from the free edge 23 of this wall portion 20 and having the leading surface 24 slightly rounded or sloping to facilitate engagement with matching projections 25 formed adjacent the free edge 26 of the wall 18 oE the pocket l9 as clearly shown in Figures 4 and 6. These projections 25 which line up with projections 21 when assembled, may have a sloping surface 27 on the trailing side thereof so that when the panels are assembled as shown in Figure l, the sloping leading sides 24 of the projections 21 -Eacilitate the engagement thereof wich the projection 25 and lock into place once the free edge 26 of the wall 18 of the pocket engages the inner surface 14A of the mating skin panelO
If desired, and prior to assembly, a sheet of rigid foamed plastic may be engaged between the skin ~2~3~
panels but in the preferred embodiment, foamed plastic such as polyurethane, is injected into the cavity defined by the upper and lower panels. In this connection, the shorter opposite edges of the assembled panel should be filled with a fi11er such as a wooden or plastic strip 28 which may be secured in place by metal screws (not illus-trated).
Foam may then be injected through injection apertures 29 one of which is shown in Figure 1.
After assembly and filling, thermal breaks may be provided through the overlapping vertical wall por-tions by forming elonyated slots 30 through both wall portions and between adjacent mating projections 21 and 25.
When one panel is being assembled to another as shown in Figure 2, the overlapping flanges of one panel overlap the opposite skin wall of the adjacent panel as clearly shown and these may be secured together by means of metal screws 31 or the like engaging through the flange of one panel and through the skin over which the flange enc3ages, silicon caulXing or the like 32 being provided between the mating panel edges as clearly shown in Figure 2.
As mentioned previously, the extending flanges ~Gi32~2 13 are preferably formed only along the opposing longitu-dinal edges of the panels but of course may be extended along the shorter edges if desired, the junction of pan-els in longitudinally extending formation being accom-plished in the manner illustrated and described relative to Figure 2.
Figures 9, 10 and 11 show a modified construc-tion in which the two skin panels ].lA and 12A are shown in the spaced apart position reversed one from the other ready for assembly into the finished panel as shown in Figure 10 by reference character lOA.
Each skin panel llA and 12A is substantially rectangular as hereinbefore deqcribed and includes a counter-angulated flanged pocket 33 along one edge and which extends beyond the sides 34 of the panels when assembled.
A wall portion 34 i9 formed perpendicular to the plane of the panel and upon the opposite edge thereof and this wall portion then angulates outwardly in the form of a flange 35 ~ormed on the distal edge 3~ of this wall portion, flange 35 being parallel to but spaced from the plane of the panel llA.
When reversed, as shown at 12A, the flange 35 engages the counter-angulated pocket 33 on one edge and ,4 the flange 35 on the upper panel llA engages the flanged pocket 33 of the opposite edge of the lower skin panel thus forming the assembled panel shown in Figure 10, it being understood that the two skin panels are assembled by engaging one lengthwise with the other and sliding the flanges 35 along the pockets 33.
The remainder of the construction of the finished panel is similar to that hereinbefore described for the other embodiment and includes thermal breaks similar to 32 but modified to suit the specific configuration of the panel connections~
Figure 11 shows the junction between the longitudinal edges of adjacent panels lOA with the pocket 33 of one panel overlying the upper surface of the adjacent panel and with the vertical walls 34 being in substantially interfacial relationship.
Metal screws 37 engage through the pocketed flange 33 of one panel and into the skin of the adjacent panel as clearly shown~
Since various modifications can be made in my in~ention as hereinabove described, and many apparently widely different 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 specification shall be interpreted as illustrative only and not in a limiting sense.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
~, Proceeding therefore to describe the invention in detail, reference should be made first to Figure 1 which shows an assembled wall panel 10 including an upper skin panel collectively designated 11 and a lower skin ~63Z~2 panel collectively designated 12.
It should be appreciated that both the inner and outer panels 11 and 12 are formed identically from sheet metal but are reversed one with the other for assembly purposes.
In the preferred embodimen-t, each panel is substantially rectangular and includes a flange 13 extending from the plane 1~ of the panel and counter-angulated as clearly shown in Figure 8.
The counter-angulated under portion 14 is then extended perpendicular to the plane 14 to form a wall portion collectively designated 15 and a pocket collec-tively designated 16 is formed upon the distal edge 17 of this wall portion 15 by counter-angulating the free edge upwardly towards the plane of the panel 14 and then down-wardly towards the edge 17, the downwardly extending portion 18 being spaced from the counter-angulated portion 19 to form the aforementioned pocket 16 parallel to the wall portion 15 but spaced inwardly therefrom.
r~n the opposite longitudinal edge of the panels ll and 12, a further wall portion 20 is formed perpen-dicular to the plane of 14 of the panel and which is adapted to engage in nesting relationship within the pocket 16 when the inner and outer panels are assembled to form the assembled panel ll.
In the drawings, the length of the wall portion 15 is greater than the length of the wall portion 20 but of course they may be equal if desired.
Means are provided to interlock the wall por-tions together and to retain them in the assembled posi-tion shown in Figure 1, said means taking the form of a plurality of projections 21 formed on the inner surface 22 of the wall portion 20 as shown in Figures 3 and 5, these projections being spaced from the free edge 23 of this wall portion 20 and having the leading surface 24 slightly rounded or sloping to facilitate engagement with matching projections 25 formed adjacent the free edge 26 of the wall 18 oE the pocket l9 as clearly shown in Figures 4 and 6. These projections 25 which line up with projections 21 when assembled, may have a sloping surface 27 on the trailing side thereof so that when the panels are assembled as shown in Figure l, the sloping leading sides 24 of the projections 21 -Eacilitate the engagement thereof wich the projection 25 and lock into place once the free edge 26 of the wall 18 of the pocket engages the inner surface 14A of the mating skin panelO
If desired, and prior to assembly, a sheet of rigid foamed plastic may be engaged between the skin ~2~3~
panels but in the preferred embodiment, foamed plastic such as polyurethane, is injected into the cavity defined by the upper and lower panels. In this connection, the shorter opposite edges of the assembled panel should be filled with a fi11er such as a wooden or plastic strip 28 which may be secured in place by metal screws (not illus-trated).
Foam may then be injected through injection apertures 29 one of which is shown in Figure 1.
After assembly and filling, thermal breaks may be provided through the overlapping vertical wall por-tions by forming elonyated slots 30 through both wall portions and between adjacent mating projections 21 and 25.
When one panel is being assembled to another as shown in Figure 2, the overlapping flanges of one panel overlap the opposite skin wall of the adjacent panel as clearly shown and these may be secured together by means of metal screws 31 or the like engaging through the flange of one panel and through the skin over which the flange enc3ages, silicon caulXing or the like 32 being provided between the mating panel edges as clearly shown in Figure 2.
As mentioned previously, the extending flanges ~Gi32~2 13 are preferably formed only along the opposing longitu-dinal edges of the panels but of course may be extended along the shorter edges if desired, the junction of pan-els in longitudinally extending formation being accom-plished in the manner illustrated and described relative to Figure 2.
Figures 9, 10 and 11 show a modified construc-tion in which the two skin panels ].lA and 12A are shown in the spaced apart position reversed one from the other ready for assembly into the finished panel as shown in Figure 10 by reference character lOA.
Each skin panel llA and 12A is substantially rectangular as hereinbefore deqcribed and includes a counter-angulated flanged pocket 33 along one edge and which extends beyond the sides 34 of the panels when assembled.
A wall portion 34 i9 formed perpendicular to the plane of the panel and upon the opposite edge thereof and this wall portion then angulates outwardly in the form of a flange 35 ~ormed on the distal edge 3~ of this wall portion, flange 35 being parallel to but spaced from the plane of the panel llA.
When reversed, as shown at 12A, the flange 35 engages the counter-angulated pocket 33 on one edge and ,4 the flange 35 on the upper panel llA engages the flanged pocket 33 of the opposite edge of the lower skin panel thus forming the assembled panel shown in Figure 10, it being understood that the two skin panels are assembled by engaging one lengthwise with the other and sliding the flanges 35 along the pockets 33.
The remainder of the construction of the finished panel is similar to that hereinbefore described for the other embodiment and includes thermal breaks similar to 32 but modified to suit the specific configuration of the panel connections~
Figure 11 shows the junction between the longitudinal edges of adjacent panels lOA with the pocket 33 of one panel overlying the upper surface of the adjacent panel and with the vertical walls 34 being in substantially interfacial relationship.
Metal screws 37 engage through the pocketed flange 33 of one panel and into the skin of the adjacent panel as clearly shown~
Since various modifications can be made in my in~ention as hereinabove described, and many apparently widely different 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 specification shall be interpreted as illustrative only and not in a limiting sense.
