Abstract

627,013. Erecting prefabricated buildings; walls, floors, panelling. STIGZELIUS, K. G. Oct. 31, 1945, No. 28916. Convention date, Nov. 1, 1944. [Classes 20(i) and 20 (iv) ] A pre-fabricated wooden house or other building having a framework of vertical stiles and horizontal rails grooved longitudinally to receive the edges of panels of materials which insulate against heat and noise, has the panels flexible so that they may be inserted by bending them to a curve before positioning them between the stiles; the side edges of the panels moving into the stile grooves as the panels are allowed to resume their plane form. The stiles 1, Fig. 1, may have double grooves 3 to receive a pair of panels 4 which seat in grooves in a rail 2, the upper edges of the panels being received in grooves 3 in a rail 2 which has tongues 5 in its ends to interengage with the grooves in the stiles. Further panels and grooves may be superposed to build up to the required height. Panels filling below and above window &c. openings may have heights which are simple fractions of and together are equal to the height of a normal panel, to avoid waste. After the insulating panels have been inserted, the building may be boarded &c. The Specification, as open to inspection under Sect. 91, states that to facilitate transport, the insulating panels which may be rigid, may be piled and protected above and below and along the long edges by ready-nailed sections subsequently used as roofing board, the short edges being protected by the boards subsequently used as floor boards and which are strapped to the package as by hoop iron. This subjectmatter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
