- Insulated wall assemblies are not new. Examples of such assemblies are found in Canadian Patents Nos. 1,116,371, issued to Truefoam Canada Limited on January 19, 1982 and 1,124,482, issued to Cano Thermo Systems Inc. on June 1, 1982.
- While the patented assemblies provide well insulated structures, there is room for improvement in terms of the structure of the individual elements used in the assemblies, and the assembling of such elements to form building walls.
- The object of this invention is to provide an assembly for building insulated load-bearing building walls with selectively interchangeable lightweight components. The components are designed to eliminate thermal bridging between the interior and the exterior surfaces of the walls thereby, to produce an energy-efficient structure for use in both hot and cold environments.
- Accordingly, the present invention relates to an insulated building wall system comprising two basic components, being columns of components wood-and-polystyrene, and infill panels of solid polystyrene, which interconnect to create a structural load-bearing wall. The infill panels comprise rectangular rigid foam slabs having, in one embodiment, centrally disposed longitudinally extending groove means in each of two opposed end edges thereof; means for receiving splines, whereby said infill panel can be connected to another wall assembly component. In a further embodiment the interconnect means comprise outstanding tongue elements longitudinally extending along the end edges of one of said wall assembly components, registering with a matching groove longitudinally extending along the end edge of another wall assembly component.

- Figure 12 is a perspective view from above of sections of two walls constructed with the elements of Figs. 4, 5, 6 and 8.
- Proceeding to describe the assembled wall system, reference is made to Fig. 1 which depicts one form of wall assembly in accordance with the invention. A
bottom plate 1 defined by lengths of 2" x 6" spruce, and a top plate 2 defined by two layers of 2" x 6" spruce, are familiar structural components. A plurality ofpanels 3 extend between thebottom plate 1 and the top plate 2 to form walls.Corners 4 are formed in the walls using corner posts 5,columns 6 defining end posts and acripple 7. Infillpanels 3 are connected to each other, to the corner posts 5, to thecolumn 6 and to thecripple 7 bysplines 8. Thesplines 8 may be formed of wood or a rigid foam plastic, e: g. expanded polystyrene. Awindow 9 is formed in one wall using a lintel 10, asill 11,cripples 7 andinfill panels Additional panels 14 are also provided where necessary between theend posts 4 and thecripples 7. Thepanels splines 8. Adoor 16 is formed in much the same manner as thewindow 9 using a lintel 10 andcripples 7. Each of the lintels 10 includes a rigid foamplastic insert 20 sandwiched between a pair ofboards 21. - Having thus described in general terms the assembled wall system, the detail of the several components will now be described. Referring to Fig. 2, an
infill panel 3 is defined by anelongated body 25 formed of rigid foam plastic. It has been found that expanded polystyrene, well known in present-day building construction, is quite suitable for the purpose.Rectangular grooves 26 extend along the entire length of eachedge 27 of thebody 25 for receivingsplines 8. Awooden insert 28 extends along the longitudinal centre line of one side of thebody 25 so that wall finishing material such as panels, dry- wall, cladding or the like, may be attached to thepanel 3. Theinsert 28 is tightly fitted into arectangular groove 29 formed in thepanel 3, so that theouter surface 30 thereof depicted in Figs. 1 and 2, is flush with theadjacent surface 32 of thepanel 25. A second strip of wood (not shown) provided in theopposing surface 33 of thepanel 25 for connecting cladding or other finish material thereto. A nailing guideline, which may be a line or ashallow notch 35, disposed vertically on theouter surface 33 of the body 15, is provided as a reference for nailing through to thewood insert 28. - This design is also suitable for structures which are to be clad on the outside with cement or stucco finishes, which have been found to bond well to the expanded polystyrene surface. the
groove 35 acts as a reinforcing rib for the cement or stucco, ind the exterior surface has a minimum amount of exposed wood which would require a mesh or web covering before the application of a cement or stucco finish. - As best shown in Fig. 3 each corner post 5 includes an elongated
rectangular block 37 of rigid foam plastic with a rectangular, longitudinally extendinggroove 38 in one side thereof for receiving aspline 8.Wooden inserts 39 are glued into each of the two corners opposite thegroove 38. The outer surfaces of theinserts 39 are flush with the adjacent surfaces of theblock 37. Thegroove 38 and theinserts 39 extend the entire length of theblock 37. - Referring to Fig. 4, each
column 6 is defined by an elongated,rectangular block 40 of rigid foam plastic. A rectangular, longitudinally extendinggroove 41 is provided in each of two opposed sides of theblock 40 for receivingsplines 8, Fig. 1. Astrip 42 of wood is glued to each of the other two sides of theblock 40. Thestrips 42 may be additionally connected to each other by screws or nails (not shown), for further strength. - The
cripples 7 are similar in structure to thecolumns 6, except that a groove is provided in one side only for receiving aspline 8. As shown in Fig. 5, thecripple 7 is defined by a pair ofwooden strips 44 glued to the sides of an elongatedrectangular block 45 of rigid foam plastic. A longitudinally extending saw-cut 46 is optionally provided in one end of eachstrip 44, the function of which will be hereinafter described. A rectangular, longitudinally extendinggroove 48 in one side of theblock 45 receives aspline 8, for interconnection of other wall components. It will however be appreciated that thegroove 48 can be provided also in the other side ofblock 45, again for receivingspline 8. - When assembling the wall structure of Fig. 1 or similar structures, it will be appreciated that the
foot plate 1 is nailed in position. The wooden elements of thepanels 3,posts 4,columns 6,cripples 7,window 9 anddoor 16 are nailed to thefoot plate 1 and top plate 2. With rigid foamplastic splines 8, the wall assembly provides maximum insulation, since there is a virtually uninterrupted thermal barrier along the entire extent of the wall assembly. - The
slotted cripples 7 are used when forming doors or windows, in which case the slotted end of the cripple is cut horizontally to theslots 46 to form a ledge for receiving the lintel 10 (Fig. 6). Conveniently, the top of the lintel 10 is aligned with the top of thecripple 7, so that an accurate cut can be made. - Referring now to the alternative embodiment depicted in. Fig. 7, a wall assembly is provided which differs from that depicted in Fig. 1, in the structure of the
panels 50, which have eliminated thewood members 28 of Figs. 1 and 2. In Fig. 7, whenever possible, the same reference numerals have been used as in Figs.land 6 to identify the same or similar elements. - The wall assembly of Fig. 7 includes the
bottom plate 1, the top plate 2, and a plurality ofpanels 50 disposed between such plates to form walls. Thecorners 4 are formed in the walls using twocripples 7 of the type shown in Fig. 5, acolumn 6 of the type shown in Fig. 4, and splines 8. The corners are constructed as shown in the detail of Fig. 12. In the structure of Fig. 12, thecolumns 6 and cripples 7 are used in combination to achieve a strong structural corner with a nailing surface on both inside surfaces to attach interior cladding. It also provides an exterior nailing surface to attach exterior siding. Thewindow 9 is formed using a lintel 10, asill 11, and cripples 51 of the type shown in Fig. 9. For such purpose, slots (not shown) similar to the slots 46 (Fig. 6) are provided in thecripples 51 forming the sides of the window to facilitate cutting of shoulders orledges 52 for receiving the lintel 10. Acripple 54 of the type shown in Fig. 10 is provided beneath the centre of thesill 11 between twopanels 50.Additional panels 50 are provided where necessary between the end posts 4,columns 6 and cripples 7. Thepanels 50 have a variety of widths depending on the distance required between centre, i. e. between the centre of the wooden portions of the end posts, columns and cripples. Thedoor 16 is formed in the same manner as thewindow 9 using a lintel 10 and a pair ofcripples 51 of the type shown in Fig. 9. In this embodiment of the invention,panels 50 are never connected directly to each other. For structural strength, there is always a column or cripple between adjacent panels. In general, except when constructinq basement or interior non-supporting walls, it is preferable to include a wood-containing cripple or columns betweenadjacent panels 50. - Now, having particular reference to the components of this assembly depicted in Fig. 7, first referring to Fig. 8, each
panel 50 is defined by an elongated,rectangular body 56 formed of rigid foam plastic.Rectangular grooves 57 extend along the entire length of eachend 58 of thebody 56 for receivingsplines 8. - With a view to simplifying the structure even more, the
splines 8 can be incorporated in the body of the components, to define a single unit for connecting the grooved panel to columns or cripples. Figs. 9 and 10 depict, respectively, a cripple . and a column having outstanding tongues extending longitudinally I along each edge thereof formed integrally with therigid foam body 62, to register with thegroove 57 of thepanel 50 of Fig. 8 or the column and cripple depicted in Figs. 4 and 5. - Further incorporating the outstanding integral tongue of this embodiment, another form of cripple is shown in Fig. 11 defined by an elongated, rectangular, rigid
foam plastic body 67, and a structuralwooden member 68 extending along each side thereof. In each case, thebody 67 extends outwardly beyond the side edges of the wood to define tongues integral with the body. - In the
cripple 66 of Fig. ll, longitudinally extending saw-cuts 72 are provided in the centre of one end of eachstrip 68, as in the former embodiments of the invention. The slots 72 thus formed act as a guide for cutting the cripple when a lintel or the like is to be supported thereby; and to obviate the difficulty in making a longitudinal saw-cut in the cripple after it is installed in the wall assembly. Means are optionally provided in each component of the wall system to accommodate horizontally-extending electrical wiring or conduits, by forming a horizontally extending channel deoicted at 73 in Fig. 7, in the rigid foam body of each component. - Having thus described the separate components in their differing embodiments, a typical assembly and construction procedure will now be outlined. Conveniently, the wall section is assembled and nailed together in horizontal disposition on a flat regular surface (normally a sub-floor), and subsequently raised into erect position. Using the
panel 60 of Fig. 8, thecolumn 6 of Fig. 4 and thecripple 7 of Fig. 5. the first step is positioning thebottom plates 1 on edge, since the components are attached to theplates 1 by nailing through the plates into the wooden structural members of the various elements. Thepanels 60,columns 6, cripples 7 andsplines 8 are placed in position and nailed to the bottom plate, with theelectrical wiring slots corners 4, the uppermost top plate 2 of one section will overlap the lowermost top plate of the adjacent wall section. In straight walls including more than one section, the top plate of one section must overlap the top plate of the next wall section. Any normal roof structure can be mounted directly on the top plate 2. Building paper and siding can be connected directly to the wall assembly. - It will be appreciated that each
cripple 7 andspline 8 combination of Fig. 12 can be replaced with thecripple 51 of Fig. 9, and that eachcolumn 6 and pair ofsplines 8 of Fig. 12, can be replaced with thecolumn assembly 54 of Fig. 10. Thus, the simplest form of wall assembly, in accordance with the present invention, has relatively few components including thepanels 60, columns defined bycripples 54 and cripples 51 for use in forming door or window frames. When using thecripples corner 4 is formed using a plain rectangular corner column (not shown) defined by a central, elongated, rectangular block of rigid foam plastic and a pair of strips of wood co-extensive with opposite sides of the block. Thus, the column is similar in structure and orientation to the cripple depicted in Fig. 5, except for thegroove 48.
