Definitions

  • This invention relates to integrated panel systems and insulated panel units.
  • the panels of this invention are suitable for use as wall panels although it will become apparent on a reading of the specification that the panels may be used in other applications.
  • reference to the invention will be described by reference to wall panels only. However, it is to be understood that the invention is not so limited.
  • US-A-4360553 discloses, as prior art thereto, a sandwich panel comprising two sheets with an insulating material, eg. foam, sandwiched therebetween and provided with a double tongue and groove on two opposite sides so that a row of panels can be assembled with one another.
  • US-A-4360553 discloses an improved sandwich panel of this type in which double tongues are provided on each of two adjacent edges and double grooves are formed along the remaining two adjacent edges permitting the panels to be assembled in columns as well as rows.
  • the arms of the double tongues are cranked at the panel corner where the tongues meet to accommodate the arms of the double tongues of an adjoining panel.
  • the double groove of said prior art panels is formed by a profile of plastics material clamped at its ends in folded over edges of the outer sheets.
  • the present invention relates to building panels of substantially quadrilateral shape defined by four edge surfaces wherein two edge surfaces include tongue members thereon and two edge surfaces include grooves therein; said tongue members on one panel being engageable in said grooves on corresponding panels so that two or more of said panels may be engaged either horizontally or vertically by means of said tongue members of one panel being inserted into the grooves in corresponding panels.
  • the tongue members and grooves of the panel are shaped such that similar wall panels of the invention can be engaged, the tongue member of one panel being adapted to fit within a complementary groove of another panel.
  • the grooves are on two adjacent edge surfaces of the panel; the tongue members being on the other two adjacent edge surfaces.
  • the panel be configured with tongues and grooves on adjacent edge surfaces or tongues and grooves on alternate edge surfaces it is possible to join the panels in either a vertical or horizontal mode as each edge surface is provided with an engaging tongue member or groove.
  • a weather seal is provided by inserting a sealing member at the end of the respective tongue member when two panels are assembled together.
  • the sealing member is made of a compressible foam.
  • the wall panels of the present invention are constructed of a core material which is laminated on both sides.
  • the laminate material covers the core material throughout its exposed surface except at the top of the tongues and the base of the grooves whereby upon assembly of a number of panels to form a structure, the said structure comprises continuously separated inner and outer laminated skins.
  • the laminating material may be any suitable polymeric or metallic layer. Most preferably, it is metallic.
  • a metallic laminate may be chosen from a number of different materials already known in the art. For instance, aluminium, stainless steel or COLORBOND STEEL (a registered trademark) may be selected. The choice of material is dependent greatly on the situation in which the panel is to be used.
  • the core material is an insulating material. A number of insulating materials are suitable and are known in the art. Most preferably, an extruded polystyrene foam is selected.
  • the core materials may be of variable thickness enabling thermal and structural properties to be varied as is required in any building specification.
  • a wall constructed of laminated panel units will have a continuously separated inner and outer laminated skin. In a fire, such separation allows molten foam to flow to the bottom of the structure. This is a safety feature which has not existed in the prior art.
  • the laminate extends beyond the core material at the tongue edges of the panel in order to provide a slot at the end of the tongue member. This slot firmly retains a sealing member, preferably made of a compressible foam.
  • the invention is characterised in that the laminate on the groove edges is shaped around the ends of the edges and back down the grooves so that it covers the internal walls of the grooves and further is shaped at the bottom of the groove to hook back on both sides thus providing protrusions which are directed back out of the groove on both sides.
  • an adjacent panel includes a tongue edge with a compressible foam sealing member as aforesaid then when the tongue member is inserted into the groove, the foam material is restrained from extending to the end of the groove. The compressible foam sealing member is thus more securely retained in the groove by these extending protrusions.
  • the compressible foam seal has been found to be very effective in providing a capillary break thus substantially preventing water penetration by capillary action.
  • Such a sealing method avoids the need for builders to use caulking materials which have necessarily been required when weather seals have been previously provided in known wall cladding systems of this type.
  • the protrusion is curved or bent back at the ends to prevent damage to the sealing member. It will be appreciated that the protrusions also act as hooks to more securely retain the engaging panel. When two panels are assembled in the manner described above, the hook formed by the laminate secures the end of the laminate which extends beyond the core material at the tongue edge of the other panel.
  • a run off gap is provided at the joints when the panel units are assembled.
  • This may be provided by shaping the grooves so that at the edge of the panel, the groove is dimensioned wider than the engaging tongue member of the adjacent panel.
  • the groove is also provided with a narrow portion so that the width of the groove towards its base is substantially the same width as the engaging tongue member.
  • the tongue panel is made of sufficient length so that when the panels are engaged and the tongue is fully inserted into the grooves the outside edges of the respective panels are not in contact.
  • the laminated edge leading up to the tongue on the edge of the adjacent panel is downwardly sloped to ensure that driven rain quickly and easily runs off the joint.
  • the groove can be either provided by machining the edge surface to the desired shape or by inserting an extruded or molded section of the desired shape into a slot provided along the edge surfaces of the panel.
  • a section could be made of metal or plastics material.
  • any number of panels made in accordance with this invention can be assembled together in a vertical or horizontal direction.
  • the corners of the panel are shaped to allow easy assembly of a plurality of panels.
  • a building made in accordance with the invention may in a preferred form be provided wherein at each of the respective corners of the said panel to which the tongue members extend the said tongue members include an interlocking portion proximate the said respective corners, said interlocking portions on each of the respective tongue members being shaped such that upon assembly of a number of said panels the interlocking portions mutually cooperate at the points of common connection so to enable the respective panels to engage with each other at the said points of common connection.
  • the edges are dovetailed for a clean and tight joint.
  • the laminate on the corner of one tongue may be inset, the laminate on the corner of another tongue may be set out of the plane and the remaining laminate may remain in the same plane throughout. In such a confirguration when four edges meet, the laminate at each corner will overlap to ensure tight connection and a close tolerance fit.
  • the panels of this invention may be affixed to the superstructure or frame of a building in a number of different ways. Such methods would be recognized by any person skilled in the art.
  • a fixing bracket is used which is adapted to be bolted or otherwise affixed to a superstructure and which is adapted to be secured to the side or edge of the panel.
  • a hook fastener can be used which comprises a fixing bracket and lug.
  • Such a bracket can be affixed by bolts or other means to the frame of the building or structure with the lug affixed to a panel.
  • the lug is inserted into the ramp leading up to the tongue on one of the tongue edges of the panel or into the side of the panel.
  • Figure 1 is a perspective view of the end portions of four panel units made in accordance with the present invention.
  • Figure 2 is a cross-sectional view of two panels made in accordance with the present invention in an assembled form.
  • FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a fixing bracket which may be used in attaching panels made in accordance with the invention.
  • Figure 4 is a cross-sectional view of two assembled wall panels made in accordance with the invention secured to a frame by a fixing bracket illustrated in Figure 3.
  • Figure 5 is a perspective view of a fixing bracket and lug which may be used in attaching panels made in accordance with the invention.

  • Figure 9 is a perspective view of an alternative fixing bracket.
  • Figure 10 is a cross-sectional view of two assembled wall panels made in accordance with the invention secured to a frame by the fixing bracket illustrated in Figure 9.
  • Figure 11 is a perspective view of an alternative fixing bracket.
  • Figure 12 is a cross-sectional view of two assembled wall panels made in accordance with the invention secured to a masonry wall by the fixing bracket illustrated in Figure 11.
  • Figure 13 is a perspective view of an alternative fixing bracket.
  • Figure 14 is a cross-sectional view of two assembled wall panels made in accordance with the invention secured to a steel cleat by the fixing bracket illustrated in Figure 13.
  • Figure 15 is a cross-sectional view of a wall panel made in accordance with the invention assembled with a fitting to insert a window jamb.
  • Figure 16 is a cross-sectional view of a wall panel made in accordance with the invention assembled with a cooperative fitting to facilitate insertion of a door jamb.
  • Figure 1 there is a disclosed detail of each corner of a wall panel constructed in accordance with the preferred embodiment of this invention.
  • Figure 1 illustrates the four different corners of a preferred embodiment of the invention as they would meet at the point of common connection between four of the said panels.
  • the wall panels are not shown as complete units but are each substantially quadrilateral in shape.
  • Two edge surfaces of each of the panels are provided with grooves 2 and 3.
  • the other edge surfaces are provided with tongue members 4 and 5.
  • the tongue members 4 and 5 and grooves 2 and 3 of the wall panel unit are shaped to cooperate with the respective grooves 2 and 3 and tongue members 4 and 5 of other wall panel units made in accordance with the invention.
  • the wall panel is provided with grooves 2 and 3 along adjacent edges as is illustrated on corner 1.
  • tongue members 4 and 5 as illustrated in corner 6.
  • the panel unit is laminated with a metallic material 7 and has an extruded polystyrene foam core 8.
  • the laminate 7 extends beyond the extruded polystyrene foam core 8 along the tongue members 4 and 5 of the panel to provide a slot 9.
  • a compressible foam seal 10 is inserted.
  • This material acts as a weather seal when the tongue 4 or 5 is inserted into a groove 2 or 3.
  • the laminate 7 on the grooves 2 and 3 is shaped around the ends of the edges and back down the grooves 2 and 3 so that it covers the internal walls 11 of the grooves 2 and 3.
  • the laminate 7 is hooked back on both sides to form protrusions 12.
  • protrusions 12 are rounded at the ends 13 so that when the tongue members 4 or 5 and compressible foam seal material 10 of an adjacent wall panel unit are inserted into groove 2 or 3 the protrusions 12 will not damage the compressible foam seal 10. Furthermore, the protrusions 12 restrain the compressible foam seal 10 from being pushed right to the end of the groove 2 or 3 when the tongue member 4 or 5 is inserted. This causes the compressible foam seal 10 to be more securely compressed within slot 9 in the tongue member 4 or 5. As the tongue members 4 or 5 are inserted into the grooves 2 or 3 the extending portion of the laminate 14 fits within the hook formed by protrusion 12. This ensures that the laminates of the two panels are firmly locked together when the tongue members 4 or 5 are engaged in the grooves 2 or 3.
  • gap 15 is provided between the assembled panels to improve water run off.
  • gap 15 is provided due to the length of tongue 4 or 5 additional to the depth of groove 2 or 3. This gap continues up the side 16 of the assembled panels due to greater width of groove 2 or 3 at its commencement compared with its width where indicated at 17.
  • Ledge 18 is angled slightly downwards to ensure proper and good run off. It will be appreciated that when the panels are assembled as illustrated in Figure 2, the compressible foam seal 10 forms a substantially water tight seal whilst the gap 15 enables any moisture and water which enters the joint, say as a result of driven rain, to simply run off the joint.
  • the edges of the laminate shown in Figure 1 are offset relative one to the other so that a close fitting can be obtained when four panels of the invention are assembled together.
  • the laminate in this preferred embodiment is pressed out at 19, pressed in at 20 and is left in the same plane at 21. As the various panels are joined together, these laminates overlap enabling a close and secure joint.
  • FIG. 3 to 14 there is illustrated a number of different fixing brackets which can be used to affix a panel or panels of the present invention to different structures. These are by way of example only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.
  • fixing brackets are used as illustrated in Figures 3, 5, 9, 11 and 13, it is desirable to strengthen the tongue members 4 and 5 with a pressed metal tongue stiffener 22.
  • the fixing brackets used are preferably made of galvanized steel.
  • FIG 15 there is illustrated a window jamb 23 shaped in cooperation with groove 2 or 3.
  • the window jamb 23 being attached in this example via a specially shaped extrusion 26 to a piece of aluminium trimming 25.
  • Aluminium trimming 25 in turn is attached to a piece of fixing angle 24.
  • the extrusion 26 which is preferably made of aluminium allows the window to resemble a panel unit in that it can fit adjacent to and in the same plane as other panel units.
  • a door head 27 shaped to cooperate with groove 2 or 3 again via shaped extrusion 26.
