A COMPOSITE BUILDING PANEL
FIELD OF I~IE INVENTION
This application relates to an a~aLus and method for use in the in.ct~ tion of composite building panels.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Builders and home owners are frequently looking for just the right exterior surface for their buildings. Currently, however~ the choice of fini~hing systems available is fairly restrictive. Two of the more popular choices in terms of appearance are brick and stone. However, natural stone is simply too expensive for use on anything other than a small number of applications where the market can bear the cost. Even brick has become too expensive for the low and middle class housing market. As such, builders typically look to cheaper vinyl and ~h~ -, siding as the allt;.nalive. However, those materials are rarely considered as pleasing exterior finishes. Therefore, there exists a clçm~n~l for an affordable ~ltçrn~tive product, one which is ~esth~tir~lly pleasing, requires little m~i,.l~n~l-ce and, most of all, is easy to install, either during the building stage or as a renovation project.

The prior art describes ap~ Lus and methods of inst~lling a variety of sheet wall panelling, building tiles and concrete slabs using discrete clips and adhesives. Reference is made for example to United States Patent No. 2,120,195, of Valenti, issued June 7, 1938, C~n~ n Patent No. 90,924 of Fisher issued January 12, 1905, C~n~di~n Patent No. 686,819 of Medow, issued may 19, 1964, ~:ln~ n Patent No. 462,686 of Wardle, issued April 19, 1939 and ~n~ n laid-open Patent Application Serial No. 2,022,601 of Francis, filed, August 2, 1990. However, none of these IcreJc;nces is directed towards an apparatus and method capable of use in the in~t~ tion of a composite building panel similar to that of applicant's co-pending ~n~ n patent application.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
In the following description, similar features in the drawings have been given similar reference numerals.
Turning to the drawings, Figure l illustrates an apparatus 2 for use in the in~t~ tion to a wall 4 of a composite building panel 10. The panel 10 is preferably of the type described in applicant' s co-pending C~n~ n Patent Application Serial No. 2,107,847.
With reference to Figure 2, the panel 10 comprises a front face 12, a top edge 14, a bottom edge 16, side edges 18 and a back face 20 formed by the corrugated member 22.
With reference to Figures 3 and 4, the corrugated member 22 is an elongated member p,~rel~.bly m~nllf~ctllred of galvanized steel, adapted to be adhered CA 022~2027 1998-10-09 to the panel 10 to form the back face 20 of the panel 10. Integral with the member 22 there is provided anchor means 24 e~ten-ling longitu~1in~lly from an upper portion 26 of the member 22. Preferably the anchor means 24 extends beyond the top edge 14 of the panel 10 when the member 22 is adhered to the panel 10. Integral with the member 22 and e~ten-ling longituclin~lly from a bottom portion 28 of the member 22 there is provided a locking means 30 whiçh preferably extends beyond the bottom edge 16 of the panel 10 when the member 22 is adhered to the panel 10. The locking means 30 is configured so as to be engageable within the anchor means 24 of a vertically adjacent panel 10 having the corrugated member 22 adhered thereto as back face 20.
The corrugated member 22 is defined by alternating wall e.ng~in~
faces 32 and panel eng~ging faces 34 along its length. There may also be provided adherence sites 36 through which adherence of the member 22 to the panel 10 may be effected. As described in applicant s co-pending Can~ n Patent Application Serial No. 2 107 847 the panel 10 is preferably filled with foamed inml~ting m~teri~l. This material may be injected into the panel 10 through adherence sites 36 of member 22 when member 22 is placed in position relative panel 10 as a back face 20. Thus the in.~ul~ting foam will fill the inside of the panel 10 surrounding the panel çng~ging faces 34 of member 22 holding the member 22 in place as back face 20.
The anchor means 24 comprises is defined by a plurality of elongated strips. The first strip 38 extends longitu-lin~lly from the member 22. ~he second strip 40 curves about 180 degrees and extends longitll-lin~lly in a direction opposite CA 022~2027 1998-10-09 Wo 97/38l86 PCT/CAg7/00225 to the first strip 38 for less than the length of the first strip 38. The third strip 42 curves 180 degrees relative the second strip to extend longitudin~1ly to finish in a plane parallel to the end of the first strip 38. Thus, the space between the second strip 40 and the third strip 42 defines a flange-receiving channel ~4. There may also be provided fa~tening means (not shown), located within a mid-portion of said first strip 38, for mounting the member 22 to the wall 4.
The locking means 30 is a flange 46 extPn-ling from the bottom portion 28 of the member 22, such that it may extend beyond the bottom edge 16 of panel 10, when member 22 is in position as back face 20, or may be offset from the bottom edge 16 as shown in Figure 2. The flange 46 is oriented to engage within flange-receiving ch~nnel 44 when a first panel is vertically ~dj~cent a second panel, each panel having a member 22 as a back face 20.
Fastened to the inside surface 48 of member 22, there may also be provided at least one elongated slirrener 50. As illustrated in Figure S, the ~lirr~ ner 50 has a Z-shaped configuration and may comprise a plurality of elongated strips secured together in Z-shaped configuration or may be a single elongated strip formed into a Z-shape. The first strip or face 52 is oriented to abut a portion of inner surface 48 and be f~.cten~d thereto through conventional means, such as spot welding, riveting and the like. The rçm~ining strips or faces 54, 56 of stiffener 50 are oriented to extend within panel 10 when the member 22 is in place as back face 20 to provide holding power of the member 22 within the panel 10 and to provide increased rigidity and torsional stability of the member 22 relative the panel 10 and the wall 4. As disc~ ecl above, when the panel is filled with foamed in~ul~tin~ m~t~ri~l, that . . ~ , CA 022~2027 lsss-lo-os wo 97/38186 PCT/CA97/00225 material will adhere to the inside surface of the corrugated member 22. The foamed m~t~.ri~l will also adhere to the stiffener 50 to provide extra holding force and torsional stability.
There may also be provided J-shaped track means 60, shown in Figure 6, comprising an elongated u~ -g wall mounting face 62 and at least one elongated strip 64 to define a flange-receiving channel 66, similar in configuration to that of anchor means 24. There may also be provided f~tçning means (not shown) to mount the track means 60 to the wall 4. Further, there may be provided a lateral offset (not shown) within a top portion 68 of wall mounting face 62 in a direction opposite the orientation of the flange-receiving channel 66.
As seen in Figure 7, when the member 22 is adhered to the panel 10 to form back face 20, the anchor means 24 extends beyond the top edge 14 and the flange 46 of locking means 30 may be offs~l from the bottom edge 16. The stiffeners 50 are f~tened to the member 22 and extend within the panel 10.
The method of using apparatus 2 to install a plurality of panels 10 is to fasten a first panel 70 at a first position along the wall 4 with a plurality of fasteners 72 spaced evenly along the length of the panel 10. Preferably, track means 60 is f~tened to the wall 4 to receive panel 10 by means of eng~ging flange 46 into flange-receiving channel 66. A plurality of panels 70 may then be secured to the track means 60 and installed in side-by-side relation (not shown). There is thus created a first row of panels. A second panel 74, incorporating a~a dlus 2 is then presented to the wall 4 in vertically adjacent orientation to first panel 70 such that the flange 46 of second panel 74 is in mating relation with the flange-receiving channel CA 022F,2027 1998-10-09 of anchor means 24 of first panel 70. A plurality of panels 74 may be secured in position in the same .I.anller thus creating a second row of panels. This process is then repeated as required to completely cover the building exterior, as desired by the user.
Thus, it is apparent that there has been provided in accordance with the invention an ap~aldlus and method for use in the in~t~ tion of a composite building panel that fully satisfies the objects, aims and advantages set forth above. While th invention has been described in conjunction with example embodiments th~reof, it is evident that many alternatives, modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art in light of the fo-Ggoing description. Accordingly, it is intended to embrace all such alternatives, mo-lifi~tions and variations as fall within the spirit and broad scope of the invention.

faces 32 and panel eng~ging faces 34 along its length. There may also be provided adherence sites 36 through which adherence of the member 22 to the panel 10 may be effected. As described in applicant s co-pending Can~ n Patent Application Serial No. 2 107 847 the panel 10 is preferably filled with foamed inml~ting m~teri~l. This material may be injected into the panel 10 through adherence sites 36 of member 22 when member 22 is placed in position relative panel 10 as a back face 20. Thus the in.~ul~ting foam will fill the inside of the panel 10 surrounding the panel çng~ging faces 34 of member 22 holding the member 22 in place as back face 20.
The anchor means 24 comprises is defined by a plurality of elongated strips. The first strip 38 extends longitu-lin~lly from the member 22. ~he second strip 40 curves about 180 degrees and extends longitll-lin~lly in a direction opposite CA 022~2027 1998-10-09 Wo 97/38l86 PCT/CAg7/00225 to the first strip 38 for less than the length of the first strip 38. The third strip 42 curves 180 degrees relative the second strip to extend longitudin~1ly to finish in a plane parallel to the end of the first strip 38.
