Definitions
- This invention relates to an inorganic fiber thermal insulator to be used in walls, under floors, on ceilings and under roofs of wood and skeleton construction houses for the purpose of thermal insulation and sound absorption, and also to a thermal insulation structure using such a thermal insulator.
- Inorganic fiber mats used for thermal insulation and sound absorption of houses are typically produced by applying thermosetting resin such as phenol resin to inorganic fiber such as glass wool or rock wool, subsequently building-up such inorganic fibers, heating them to form a built-up article, and cutting the built-up articles into a plate-shaped mat.
- thermosetting resin such as phenol resin
- inorganic fiber such as glass wool or rock wool
- thermal insulators are arranged between pillars of houses for the purpose of thermal insulation and sound absorption.
- Inorganic fiber mats of the type under consideration are used for wooden framework constructions, wooden panel constructions, prefabricated wall constructions, iron framework constructions, skeleton panel constructions and so on.
- inorganic fiber mats are used in walls, they are arranged between pillars.
- sleepers and floor joists When they are used on floors, they are arranged between sleepers and floor joists.
- beams When they are used on ceilings, they are arranged between beams.
- roofs they are arranged between rafters.
- the selvages of mats running along the lateral edges thereof are rigidly anchored to the corresponding pillars by means of tacks or some other fasteners to hold them in place. Then, the mats also operate to dampproof the house.
- Japanese Patent Publication No. Hei 7-116670 “Inorganic Fiber Mat” Japanese Patent Publication No. Hei 7-116670 “Inorganic Fiber Mat” (Japanese Patent No. 2130081) discloses “an inorganic fiber mat formed to show a plate-shaped profile and having built-up inorganic fiber arranged along the surfaces thereof, characterized in that longitudinal slits are formed perpendicular to the surfaces and alternately from the opposite surfaces at regular intervals with a small margin, and that the mat can be bent by 180 degrees along a slit to expose the inside”.
- the inorganic fiber mat is provided with slits in a direction of a thickness of the mat in order to make it easily adaptable to different distances of two structures.
- the mat is flexible, because it can be easily folded when it is placed in position.
- the mat according to this patent document can be compressed only to reduce the thickness, and packaged. The patent document does not consider anything about transversal compression.
- Such inorganic fiber mats are packaged for the purpose of raising the efficiency of storage and transportation. More specifically, the package of inorganic fiber mats is prepared by building-up a number of mat-shaped thermal insulators, compressing them in a thickness direction thereof, and putting the compressed mats into a bag. If the thermal insulators are short (e.g., 1,370 mm long), they are not bent when packaged. If the thermal insulators are long (e.g., 2,740 mm long), they may be bent longitudinally at the middle when packaged.
- Japanese Utility Model Registration No. 3038186 discloses “a package of a group of inorganic fiber mats”.
- debris of cut inorganic fiber mats have to be disposed as industrial wastes.
- fasteners when used to anchor mats, they have to be removed when the building containing such mats is dismantled. The structures cannot be recycled unless the fasteners are removed.
- a multilayered article of inorganic fibers is formed with longitudinal slits perpendicular to the top and bottom surfaces and alternately from the opposite surfaces. Said slit does not extend entirely in the thickness direction. Then, the article is compressed to reduce the thickness, and is packaged. The packaged mat is then unpacked on site, and folded by bending it along the slits by 180 degrees, so that the inorganic fibers are built-up longitudinally.
- the slits need to be provided with margins so that the mat may not be cut apart. If the slits are shallow, the operation of folding the article is obstructed to make it difficult to produce a mat.
- the slits are too deep, the articles can be cut apart. Additionally, since the slits are formed with margins, the top and bottom surfaces of the mat produce steps or undulations, which by turn produce gaps that are poorly thermally insulating when the mat is placed in position. Since the surfaces that are brought into contact with the corresponding structures are not bonded, the mat can hardly maintain its intended profile without some holding means. In other words, the mat is dimensionally unstable.
- the compressed and packaged article is unpacked on site, made to restore its thickness, and then folded by 180 degrees to produce a mat.
- the produced mat can show a short width if the thickness of the article is not restored sufficiently.
- the produced mat can show a too large width due to the restoration too much. In this case, it is necessary to compress the mat in the width direction.
- the mat may be forced out from the wall where it is arranged after being placed in position.
- Packages of known mat-shaped insulators are also accompanied problems as pointed out below.
- Inorganic fiber are built-up in parallel with the top and bottom surfaces (and in the transversal direction) of known mat-shaped insulators. Therefore, packages of known insulators can be compressed in a direction of a thickness. However, when the insulator is compressed transversally, the fibers can be destroyed. Thus, when the package is unpacked on site to release the insulator from the compressed state, the width of the insulator may not be restored.
- No prior art discloses a packages prepared by transversally compressing insulators. Hence, there is a demand for packages of insulators capable of being compressed transversally, in view of the efficiency of transportation.
- the lateral surfaces of the insulator are inclined.
- longitudinal cuts are formed on the lateral surfaces of the insulator so as to make the insulator partially compressible.
- At least one of the surfaces of the insulator may be coated by a facing material.
- said insulator and the facing material are bonded to each other by means of an adhesive agent.
- the adhesive agent may be partially applied to the insulator and/or the facing material, and may be entirely applied to surfaces of the insulator and/or the facing material.

- the mat-shaped inorganic fiber thermal insulator (thermally insulating mat) according to the invention is manufactured by the above described method. While the illustrated thermally insulating mat 4 has a thickness of 90 mm or 140 mm, a width of 420 mm, the present invention is by no means limited thereto.
- each of the thermally insulating mats illustrated in FIGS. 7 through 22 that are manufactured by the method illustrated in FIG. 3 all of the inorganic fiber run in the direction of thickness (Y-direction). In other words, all of the fibers are built-up in the direction of width (X-direction). Therefore, the thermally insulating mat 4 can be compressed in the direction of width (X-direction). At the same time, the thermally insulating mat 4 shows a large anti-pressure strength in the direction of thickness (Y-direction).

- the fibrous built-up article 1 is cut into four cut articles 2 , which are then rotated by 90 degrees (in the case of the instance of FIG. 3 ). Therefore, the hardened top surface is divided by four. Similarly, the hardened bottom surface is divided by four.
- the hardened surfaces extend in the direction of thickness (Y-direction) and in the direction of length (Z-direction) of the mat 4 in each of the rotated articles. Therefore, according to the invention, a total of eight hardened surfaces extend in the direction of length (Z-direction) of the mat, so as to improve the longitudinal rigidity of the mat 4 .
- the mat-shaped inorganic fiber thermal insulator may not have any facing material as shown in FIG. 7 , or it may have facing material(s) as shown in FIG. 8 , in which the thermally insulating mat is covered by a facing material at least one surface thereof.

- the thermally insulating mat 4 as shown in FIG. 23 is arranged with its top surface directed to an outside of a room and its bottom surface directed to an inside of the room. Therefore, referring to FIG. 23 , the top facing material 51 bonded to the mat 4 is made of polyethylene film that has a thin film of aluminum deposited thereon by evaporation and that is provided with numerous pores to allow air to pass through them. The top facing material has a thickness of 9 ⁇ m.

- the bottom facing material 52 When the bottom facing material 52 is wider than the total width of the rotated articles (and the cut articles), the bottom facing material 52 also covers a structure such as pillars, so as to improve the dampproof effect thereof. A portion of the bottom facing material that extend beyond the rotated articles (and the cut articles) operate as securing margins to be used when it is rigidly secured to the structure by means of tacks or some other fasteners.
- the thermally insulating mat can be adapted to be rigidly secured to structures without any fasteners, so that such securing margins are not essential.
- the sheet may be arranged between two adjacent cut articles (rotated articles).
- the cut articles 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 are rotated by 90 degrees by means of the method of FIG. 5
- the top sheet 91 is arranged between the rotated article 331 and the rotated article 331

- any known adhesive agent can be used to bond the facing materials 51 , 52 and/or the sheets 91 , 92 to the thermally insulating mat 4 (or the cut articles 3 ). If the facing materials and/or the sheets are made of plastic film, any known adhesive agent adapted to bond plastic film and inorganic fiber can be used for the purpose of the invention.
- the adhesive agent may be applied to the entire corresponding surface of the facing material (sheet) and/or that of the mat (cut articles, rotated articles), or may be partially applied. When the adhesive agent is applied entirely, the facing material (sheet) and the mat (cut articles, rotated articles) are firmly integrated. When the adhesive agent is applied partially, a consumption of the adhesive agent can be reduced.
- the adhesive agent may be applied as dots or as strips. In the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 29 , the top facing material 51 and the thermally insulating mat 4 are bonded to each other over the entire surfaces thereof by the adhesive agent 8 , while the adhesive agent 8 is applied as strips (or dots) to bond the bottom facing material 52 and the mat 4 .
- the adhesive agent 8 is applied to the entire surface of the mat 4 and/or that of the bottom facing material 52 to improve the integrity.
- the lateral surface of the mat may be inclined relative to the Y-direction.
- the mat can be made to tightly adhere to structures (such as pillars etc.), even if the structures have steps on the surfaces thereof to which the lateral surfaces of the mat contact respectively.
- FIGS. 10-13 shows a method for inclining the lateral surfaces of the mat 4 , and the mat having inclined lateral surfaces.
- rotated articles 331 , 332 , 333 , 334 are forced to enter a space between a pair of guides 11 , 11 that are inclined relative to the Y-direction. Then, the left lateral surface of the rotated article 331 and the right lateral surface of the rotated article 334 are pressed by the respective guides 11 , 11 to become inclined.
- top facing material 51 and the bottom facing material 52 are bonded to the rotated articles that are pressed by the guides 11 , 11 at the outermost lateral surfaces, to produce a thermally insulating mat 4 a having inclined lateral surfaces as shown in FIG. 11 .
- the inclined surface can be produced as illustrated in FIG. 12 .
- Adjacent cut articles (rotated articles) are bonded to each other in advance by means of the adhesive agent.
- the left surface of the rotated article 331 and the right surface of the rotated article 334 are cut respectively by respective cutters 12 , 12 that are inclined relative to the Y-direction, to produce the thermally insulating mat 4 a having inclined lateral surfaces as shown in FIG. 13 .
- An appropriate angle of inclination may be selected for the inclined lateral surface of the mat.
- the angle may be determined by a gap between structures such as pillars, between which the mat is arranged, the difficulty of an operation of placing the mat in position, and other factors. While the angle of inclination is normally between 0 and 20 degrees as shown in FIG. 20 , the present invention is by no means limited thereto.
- the thermally insulating mat according to the invention may be provided with cuts that extend longitudinally on the respective lateral surfaces thereof. A depth of each cut extends in the X-direction, and a length of each cut extends in the Z-direction ( FIG. 14 ).
- FIGS. 14-22 show embodiments of thermally insulating mats having cuts 13 formed on the lateral surfaces thereof and extending longitudinally (in the Z-direction).
- the cuts (slits) 13 are formed along an entire length of the mat as shown in FIG. 15 .
- the depth (the length in the X-direction) of each slit is about 80 mm, when the mat 4 has a width of 420 mm, although the present invention is by no means limited thereto.
- inorganic fibers are integrated in the X-direction. Therefore, the mat 4 can be compressed in the X-direction.
- the cut 13 is formed, only the part m (or part n) can be compressed.
- FIG. 31 shows thermally insulating mats used in a wooden and skeleton construction. It is a schematic cross sectional plan view.
- pillars 14 there are shown pillars 14 , studs 15 , wall backing members 16 at an inside and an outside of a room, and brackets 17 for securing the wall backing members 16 .
- each of the brackets 17 projects from the corresponding pillar 14 or the stud 15 at an external corner or an internal corner.
- Each mat 4 according to the invention is arranged in a space defined by the internal member 16 , the external member 16 and pillars 14 (or the stud 15 ).
- the mat 4 is arranged in such a way that the top surface and the bottom surface of the mat 4 are held in contact respectively with the corresponding wall backing members 16 , 16 . Even if a distance between the pillar 14 and the stud 15 is smaller than the width of the mat 4 (the length in the X-direction in FIG. 15 ), it is not necessary to cut the mat 4 longitudinally to reduce its width, because the mat 4 can be compressed transversally (in the X-direction). Additionally, even if the brackets 17 are projected to the inside from the pillar 14 and/or the stud 15 , the mat 4 can be compressed in the X-direction to an extent that corresponds to each of the brackets 17 , 17 , because of the cuts 13 . Therefore, the mat is tightly held in contact with the pillar 14 , the stud 15 , the wall backing members 16 , 16 and the brackets 17 , so as to provide thermal insulation sufficiently.
- a plurality of mat-shaped inorganic fiber thermal insulators (thermally insulating mats) according to the invention may be laid one on the other or arranged side by side, compressed, and put into a packaging bag, to form a package, which can improve an efficiency of storage and transportation. Such the package will be described below.
- FIG. 23 shows a thermally insulating mat 4 adapted to form the package.
- the mat 4 illustrated in FIG. 23 is manufactured by cutting the fibrous built-up article 1 into four cut built-up articles 3 , rotating all of the cut articles 3 rotated by 90 degrees, and covering them by a top facing material 51 and a bottom facing material 52 .
- all of the inorganic fibers are built-up in the X-direction.
- the mat 4 has dimensions including a thickness (Y-direction) of 90 mm, a width (X-direction) of 480 mm and a length (Z-direction) of 1,200 mm and a density of about 16 kg/m 3 , although the present invention is by no means limited thereto.
- the aligned article 37 has dimensions including a height (Y-direction) of 630 mm (90 ⁇ 7), a width (X-direction) of 1,440 mm (480 ⁇ 3) and a length (Z-direction) of 1,200 mm. Inorganic fiber are built-up in the X-direction.
- the aligned article 37 illustrated in FIG. 24 is compressed transversally (in the X-direction) to reduce the width to 280 mm. Since all inorganic fibers are built-up in the direction of width (X-direction) in the aligned article 37 of FIG. 24 , the aligned article 37 is not compressed in the direction of length (Z-direction) and in the direction of height (Y-direction). Thus, a compressed and aligned article 38 of FIG. 25 has dimensions including a width of 280 mm, a thickness of 630 mm and a length of 1,200 mm. The compressed and aligned article 38 is packed in a packaging bag typically made of polyethylene, to produce a package 39 as shown in FIG. 26 .
- FIG. 27 is a schematic front view of a thermally insulating mat 4 obtained by rotating only cut articles 31 , 34 .
- the mat shown in FIG. 27 only the inorganic fibers of rotated articles 331 , 334 are built-up in the X-direction. Even if same amount of pressure is applied to the mat of FIG. 27 and the mat of FIG. 24 , the mat of FIG. 27 is less compressed than the mat of FIG. 24 .
- the extent of compression varies depending on the direction of the building-up of inorganic fibers.
- Thermally insulating mats as described above are combined with pillars and wall members etc., to form a “thermally insulating structure”. While such thermally insulating structure may be formed on a building site, it may be manufactured in a plant as prefabricated structure when it is used for an advanced construction such as 2 ⁇ 4 construction.
- FIG. 28 shows an embodiment of the thermally insulating structure containing the mat-shaped inorganic fiber thermal insulator (thermally insulating mat) 4 according to the invention, although the present invention is by no means limited to FIG. 28 .
- the illustrated thermally insulating structure comprises structures 20 such as pillars or studs, wall backing members 16 , and the thermally insulating mat 4 arranged in the space defined the structures 20 and the wall backing members 16 .
- the mat 4 is arranged in such a way that inorganic fibers are integrated in the X-direction, so that the mat 4 can be compressed in the X-direction.
- P denotes a gap between two adjacent structures
- q denotes a total width of the rotated built-up articles and/or cut built-up articles (see FIG. 27 ).
- the width q of the mat 4 is made greater than the gap p. Since the mat 4 can be compressed in the X-direction and actually compressed between the structures 20 , it is not necessary to anchor the mat 4 to the structures 20 (typically by means of tacks).
- the mat 4 is provided on the lateral surfaces thereof with respective cuts 13 . Therefore, even if brackets (not shown in FIG. 28 ) are provided, the mat 4 is partly compressed in the direction of width (X-direction). Thus, the mat 4 is tightly held in contact with the structures 20 , to prevent the problem of poorly insulating from occurring.
- the mat 4 is covered by the top facing material 51 and the bottom facing material 52 that has a dampproof effect. Then, the thermally insulating structure is arranged in the building with the bottom facing material 52 located close to the inside of the room.
- the wall of the building becomes complete by inserting the mat-shaped thermally insulating article (thermally insulating mat) 4 (whose width q is larger than the gap p between the corresponding structures, and in which inorganic fibers are integrated in the X-direction) between the structures 20 , 20 ; arranging the internal wall backing member 16 close to the inside of the room; arranging the external wall backing member 16 (e.g., construction plywood) close to the outside of the room; and arranging, if necessary, a wind breaking layer, a ventilating layer and an external member etc.
- inorganic fibers of a mat-shaped inorganic fiber thermal insulator are at least partly integrated in a direction running in parallel with lateral surfaces of the insulator. Therefore, the rigidity of the insulator is raised only in the direction of thickness, and the thickness of the insulator is not reduced, so that the thermally insulating property of the mat is secured.
- a rigidity (compression strength) of a conventional mat-shaped thermal insulator is 20 kgf/m 2 for a compression ratio of 30%, whereas that of the thermal insulator according to the invention is 82 kgf/m 2 for the same compression ratio.
- conventional thermal insulators can be compressed to about 1 ⁇ 8 in terms of thickness, the thickness thereof is reduced due to deterioration with time, and due to the pressure being applied thereto from the related structures such as wall members and/or pillars at the position where it is arranged.
- the thermal insulator of the present invention is free from such a problem of the prior art, because it has a high compression strength.
- the mat-shaped thermal insulator according to the invention can be compressed transversally.
- the thermal insulator according to the invention has a density of about 10 kg/m 3 , it can be compressed transversally to about 1 ⁇ 8.
- the thermal insulator has a density of about 16 kg/m 3 , it can be compressed transversally to about 1/4.5.
- the thermal insulator has a density of about 32 kg/m 3 , it can be compressed transversally to about 1 ⁇ 3.
- known mat-shaped thermal insulators cannot be compressed transversally.
- the compressed insulator Since the mat-shaped thermal insulator according to the invention can be compressed transversally, the compressed insulator has a pressure trying to restore the insulator, and such pressure is applied to the adjacently located structures (pillars, backing members, etc.). Therefore, the lateral surfaces of the insulator are respectively held in tight contact with the corresponding structures, so that it is not necessary to use anchoring means (tacks) to anchor the insulator to the structures. Since no anchoring means is required, it is no longer necessary to remove anchoring means when dismantling or demolishing the building, and hence the building materials can be recycled with ease.
- anchoring means tacks
- the mat-shaped thermal insulator according to the invention shows an improved longitudinal rigidity, it is exempted from the problem of longitudinal warping in the structures.
- the thermal insulator according to the invention is arranged in a wall, it is prevented from warping in a vertical direction of the wall.
- the insulator according to the invention provides a high production efficiency if compared with conventional mat-shaped thermal insulators.
- the mat-shaped thermal insulator according to the invention can be highly tightly held in contact with the corresponding structures, when the lateral surfaces thereof are inclined. Thus, the mat would not be displaced in the structures, to improve the make of the construction.
- the thermal insulator according to the invention When the thermal insulator according to the invention is provided at the lateral surfaces thereof with respective cuts, it can be partly compressed in the direction of width. Therefore, even if there are projections at some of the corners of the structures, the thermal insulator is partly compressed, so that it is not necessary to cut the thermal insulator to reduce its width. Thus, there does not arise any problem of poor thermal insulation effect due to absence of a thermal insulator in such corners.
- thermal insulator according to the invention since it is not necessary to cut the thermal insulator according to the invention on site, the industrial wastes that are produced on a building site can be reduced to a greater extent. Still additionally, since cutting operations are conducted highly accurately on thermal insulators in the manufacturing process, they effectively prevent the problem of poor insulation effect from occurring, although such a problem may arise when thermal insulators are cut insufficiently by hand on site.
- the thermally insulating mat is covered by a facing material at least at a surface thereof, the insulator is reliably integrated.
- the insulator is covered by a facing material at two or more surfaces, the insulator is integrated more firmly.
- the insulator is firmly integrated.
- a package according to the invention contains mat-shaped thermal insulators that are compressed transversally to such an extent that they can restore the original width when unpacked. Therefore, the mat-shaped thermal insulators can be held in a compressed state and restore the proper dimensions when unpacked. Thus, the space necessary to transport such package to a building site and to store them on site can be reduced, and the package can be used immediately for construction after being unpacked.
- a thermally insulating structure can be easily formed by using the mat-shaped thermal insulator according to the invention in combination with an external wall backing member, an internal wall backing member and so on for a wood and skeleton construction.
- the thermally insulating structure can also find applications in iron framework constructions.
- the thermally insulating structures can be manufactured as panels in a plant so as to be used for skeleton panel constructions.
