Definitions

  • This invention relates to the construction of thermally insulated walls and ceilings for buildings.
  • Cladding of structures by means of a plurality of panels is well known in the building art.
  • Special nails having flat heads elongated transversely of the shank and a slot in the head for receiving a screw driver tip or the like are provided for supporting a cladding tile having edge slots each capable of receiving a portion of the flat head of such a nail by rotation of the nail to a wall.
  • the nails assist positioning of tiles whilst a layer of cementatious material for fixing the tiles permanently to a wall sets.
  • a foam plastic insulation structural panel is described in DE-A-2 551 886.
  • This panel has along its four peripheral edges a groove or key which can be respectively joined to key or groove portions of adjacent identical panels.
  • the panel itself may include reinforcing means for added strength such as a grid introduced during forming of the panel.
  • the panel is used as an external facing panel or lightweight core. It may be surface coated to reduce inflammability of the panel material.
  • All of the above provide means for tying a plurality of panels in one direction, i.e., horizontally to a vertical structure such as a wall.
  • Each mould consists of two spaced panels of foamed polymeric material having fire resistant connecting members embedded in projections integrally formed on inner faces of said panels.
  • the members interconnect the panels transversely to define at least one vertical cavity extending throughout the mould to the adjacent courses of moulds.
  • the cavities can then be filled with concrete which when set results in an insulated wall.
  • moulds are preformed blocks which have to be transported to a construction site which, because of their bulk wastes carriage space and increases the risk of damage in transit. This increases costs and slows construction.
  • An object of the present invention is to obviate or mitigate the aforesaid disadvantages.
  • a thermal insulating panel and tie means for use in combination in construction wherein the panel comprises a sheet of expanded foam plastics having edges which are provided with means for edge to edge contiguous alignment of a plurality of panels characterised in that said panel(s) are further provided with recesses of T-slot configuration for receiving said tie means and in that said tie means comprises elements of a shape complementary to said recesses and which are adapted for sliding engagement within said recesses to thereby effect edge to edge tying of adjacent panels by mating of said elements with said recesses to allow formation of a sheet of tied panels, and members extending from said elements for tying said sheet of panels to a supporting surface or to further like panels placed in parallel.
  • the recesses in the panel are preferably in the form of T-slots.
  • the panel is conveniently formed from expanded polystyrene foam but polyurethane, urea and phenol formaldehyde foams and acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene structural foams may also be used.
  • the panel may have a factory applied finish such as aluminium foil to control flame spread, paint to avoid interstitial penetration of condensation or cementatious coating to improve weathering.
  • the panels may be finished on site whilst in position on a wall.
  • a vertical and horizontal tie means for use with the panel which is characterised in that an element which is cooperable with recesses in the panel has at least one member extending from one surface of the element.
  • the element is preferably a plate which may be formed by injection moulding of a thermoplastic.
  • a thermoplastic such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC) acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) polyethylene, polypropylene, polytetrafluoroethylene (P.T.F.E.) and polyamides such as Nylon.
  • the member can be made of the same material as the plate or may differ in order to meet fire regulations or improve structural characteristics.
  • the member can be formed from wire, mild steel sheeting or rods, bars or tubes of plastics material.
  • the method of joining the member to the plate may be a simple mechanical fixing e.g. by providing a lug at one end of the member and a corresponding aperture in the plate so that upon inserting the lug carrying end of the member into the aperture and twisting the member through a half turn it locks into position.
  • a thermoplastic is used for both components they may be welded together.
  • a pair of panels may be connected in parallel to provide a free-standing structural unit using a duplex member formed by connecting a pair of opposed plates with at least one member but, preferably with four such members.
  • panels 1 moulded from polystyrene are used to form concrete shuttering.
  • Each panel 1 is of rectangular shape and each edge thereof is provided with conventional tongue 2 and groove 3 means to facilitate edge to edge alignment of adjacent panels 1.
  • Two opposing edges (4, 5) which will form the upper 4 and lower 5 edges of the panel 1 in use are provided with recesses 6 to accommodate vertical and horizontal tie means.
  • the vertical tie means comprises an elongate plate 7 whose width tapers from the middle 8 towards an arcuate shaped tip 9 at either end.
  • the plate 7 is formed by injection moulding of P.V.C. to provide a plate which has a thick narrow central portion 10 surrounded by thinner material strengthened by ribbing 11 extending outwards to the border of the plate.
  • the central portion 10 is provided with apertures 12, into which a horizontal tie may be fixed.
  • the horizontal tie in this embodiment consists of a P.V.C. rod 13 provided with a lug protruding radially from either end so that when an end of the rod 13 is located in an aperture 12 in the plate 7 and twisted through a quarter turn, the rod 13 is locked against withdrawal from the aperture 12 by horizontal stress.
  • the rod 13 may be used to connect a pair of opposed plates 7 to form a duplex member.
  • a horizontal course of these structural units may be laid by aligning the edges of the units using the tongue 2 and groove 3 guide means.
  • a second course of these structural units may be fixed in place above the first by pressing the superposed structural unit upon the lower unit so that the protruding halves of the duplex members in the lower unit mate with the lower recesses 6 in the superposed unit.
  • the second and subsequent courses may be staggered as in conventional bricklaying e.g. in the fashion of common stretching bond, to obtain additional horizontal strength.
  • Additional courses can then be added after the first pouring of concrete has been completed.
  • the panels 1 can be removed easily with hammer and chisel.
  • a concrete wall is constructed as described in Example 1 except that the panels 1 are not removed so that a thermally insulated concrete wall is formed.
  • Finishing of the wall using conventional materials may then be carried out e.g. fixing plasterboard on the interior and painting of the exterior.
  • the concrete wall is constructed as described in Example 1 except that the panels 1 are provided with a factory applied pre-finished surface so that the panels 1 intended to face the exterior of the wall are coated with a weatherproof finish and those intended to face the interior are covered with aluminium foil.
  • the panels 1 are not removed after the concrete has set in order to provide a completely insulated wall.
  • the panels 1 are used to construct a double wall of parallel panels 1 defining a cavity between the walls as before but instead of filling with concrete it can be filled with mud, sand or gravel obtained from the surrounding area to provide a rapid assembly structure.
  • This structure could be used in Third World countries where concrete is not readily available or alternatively at disaster areas to provide temporary accommodation.
  • Twisted rope could be used to lock the opposing walls in an upright position and a sheet of single panels 1 could be used for a roof.
  • a thermal insulating panel for insulating the walls of a building is moulded from polystyrene of a suitable bulk density.
  • the panel 1 is of rectangular shape and each edge is provided with conventional tongue 2 and groove 3 guide means to facilitate edge to edge alignment of adjacent panels 1.
  • the vertical tie means comprises an elongate plate 7 whose width tapers from the middle 8 towards an arcuate shaped tip 9 at either end.
  • the plate 7 is formed by injection moulding of P.V.C. to provide a plate which has a thick narrow central portion 10 surrounded by thinner material strengthened by ribbing 11 extending outwards to the border of the plate.
  • the central portion 10 is provided with apertures 12 through which horizontal ties may be driven to fix the plate to a wall.
  • the horizontal tie in this embodiment consists of conventional masonry nails, screws or the like fastenings.
  • a P.V.C. plate 7 is slid into each recess 6 via T-slots 16 in the edge 4 of the panel 1.
  • each recess 6 is sufficient to accommodate about half of the plate 7 with the remainder protruding above the edge of the panel.
  • the panel is then placed in position against the wall and masonry nails are driven through the apertures 12 in the protruding portion of the plate 7 into the wall.
  • a second panel 1 may then be located above the first by sliding the lower edge recesses 6 over the protruding portion of the plates 7.
  • a sheet of such panels may be built upon the walls of an existing building to provide a barrier to heat transfer.
  • a method of insulating a ceiling using panels and tie means according to this invention involves the use of panels similar to those described in Example 5 connected by horizontal tie means and fixed to the ceiling by vertical tie means.
  • the horizontal tie means comprises an elongate plate 7 whose width tapers from the middle 8 towards an arcuate shaped tip 9 at either end.
  • Vertical tie means for use in this method of insulating a ceiling comprises conventional masonry nails, screws or the like fastenings.
  • a P.V.C. plate 7 is slid into each recess 6 via T-slots 16 in the edge 4 of the panel 1.
  • Screws are driven through apertures 12 in the exposed portion of the plate and into the ceiling.
  • a second panel 1 may then be located adjacent the first by sliding edge recesses 6 of the second panel 1 over the exposed portions of plates 7 which have been fixed to the ceiling.
  • box sections can be formed from a structural unit by adding moulded end pieces and these sections may be used to form concrete insulated floors and roofing.
