Definitions

  • the invention relates to prefabricated structural panels which can be rapidly assembled to form buildings of various types. Specifically the invention relates to structural panels which incorporate a lath connected to frame members.
  • the first type of lath is diamond mesh lath. It is manufactured out of thin sheets of metal that are slit with knives and stretched apart. The lath pattern resembles uniformly spaced small diamond shapes. The diamond mesh lath must be fastened to a substrate with nails or screws and must be used in conjunction with a solid surface because this diamond mesh lath is inherently flexible. The diamond shaped pattern allows the lath not only to be formed for contours but also provide a smooth surface desirable for ornamental work and smooth plaster finishes.
  • a second type of lath is a self-furring lath which may have a dimpled diamond or high ribbed surface that spaces the lath away from a mounting surface.
  • These self-furring laths enable a structural coating to encapsulate the lath such that the lath is in the middle of the structural coating thereby providing greater strength.
  • Self-furring laths, just as the diamond mesh lath must be attached to a solid substrate such as plywood or water-resistant gypsum board using nails or screws.
  • a third type of lath is a lath having diamond patterns and having continuous flat ribs of steel which has a unique shape for added strength and support.
  • This type of lath can be used over an open frame and does not require attachment to a solid substrate.
  • this type of lath is limited for use on spans no greater than 16 inches and is not self-furring.
  • one typical lath includes three 16-inch flat ribs spaced on 2-inch centers which run the continuous length of the lath.
  • these ribbed laths must be mechanically fastened to one another using discrete fasteners.
  • a flat-ribbed lath having a diamond shape in a reverse herringbone pattern may have V-shaped ribs that run the length of the lath.
  • V-shaped ribs In one instance, 3 ⁇ 8-inch V-shaped ribs are spaced at 41 ⁇ 2 inch intervals and provide structural support on open framed cavities having framing members spaced less than 16 inches apart.
  • this type of lath must be mechanically fastened using discrete fasteners.
  • Light gauge framing components made from coils of thin metal having various thicknesses and widths have existed for more than forty years. Such framing components typically consist of a web and a flange extending therefrom.

  • a plurality of slats 25 extends through the sheet 15 for adapting the sheet 15 to receive and retain thereupon a structural coating (not shown).
  • the sheet 15 may be constructed from a thin, pliable material such that the ribs 20 are resilient and may be compressed to reduce the maximum height H and snapped into apertures or slots in a frame member.
  • the sheet 15 may be made from any number of materials that are resilient and provide the desired shape such as metal, plastic and carbon fiber composites.

Since the ribs 20 of the lath 10 must be compressed to snap within the receptor pockets 105 of the frame member 100 , once the lath 10 is secured to the frame member 100 , when the structural coating 150 is applied, the coating 150 not only permeates the slats 25 but furthermore fills the remaining volume within each receptor pocket 105 .
  • the structural coating 150 hardens within a receptor pocket 105 and the rib 20 becomes permanently secured within the receptor pocket 105 because the hardened structural coating 150 prevents the rib 20 from compressing, which would be required to remove the rib 20 from the receptor pocket 105 .

  • the structural mesh 170 may be adhered, fabricated or attached to each lath 10 in an offset pattern. The offset pattern allows for the structural mesh 170 to overlap other laths 10 by creating a uniform covering which may overlap for example by as much as two inches on each lath 10 .
  • the structural mesh 170 may be supported from the top of the partially constructed structural panel 200 and a person applying the base structural coating 150 may lift the structural mesh 170 up while the base structural coating 150 is being applied.

The structural mesh 170 may be pressed below the surface of the base structural coating 150 . The texture of the structural mesh 170 will increase the bond for any subsequent coating which may be added and furthermore will increase the strength of the base structural coating 150 and reduce the chance of cracking, surface spalling or peeling.

  • the subject invention provides a structural panel 200 having laths 10 which are connected to frame members 100 without the use of any discrete fasteners. Pressing the lath 10 into the frame member 100 is a more cost-effective method than attaching a lath 10 to the steel frame 100 since there are no discrete fasteners to install.

  • the lath 10 in accordance with the subject invention, provides a continuous surface for structural coatings to be applied.
  • these ribs 20 of the lath 10 are integrated within the receptor pockets 105 of the frame member 100 , the increase in structural integrity keeps the components from side-to-side and rotational movement.
  • the frame member 100 may be a C-shaped member comprised of a base 110 having a flange 112 on one side of the base 110 and an opposing flange 114 on the opposite side of the base 110 .
  • the frame member 100 includes receptor pockets 105 in only flange 114 .
  • the lath 10 may be applied only to a single side of the frame member 100 .
  • the structural panel 200 in accordance with the subject invention may have frame members spaced over 24′′ at canter, thereby reducing the number of components for a panel which typically has frame members on 16′′ centers.
  • the figures have illustrated a rib 20 extending completely across the lath 20 and receptor pockets 105 extending completely across the frame member 100 . It is possible for the rib 20 to extend across the lath 10 in an interrupted pattern to mate with a receptor pocket 105 that extends across the front 102 of the frame member 100 or to mate with receptor pockets 105 that are positioned on the front 102 of the frame member 100 to correspond with the locations of the interrupted pattern ribs.
  • FIGS. 13A-13G illustrate a few such rib 320 shapes. In each of these shapes, the first side 322 diverges from the second side 324 and then converges. As a result, these ribs 320 may snap into an appropriately sized receptor pocket located in the frame member. As illustrated in FIGS. 13F and 13G , each rib 320 may resemble a barb.
