Description

    INTRODUCTION
  • The invention relates to a wall panel.
  • In general, translucent wall panels comprise an outer translucent weather sheet and an inner translucent liner sheet.
  • One of the problems with conventional translucent wall panels is that they are not efficient insulators and the rate of heat loss through the translucent panels is relatively high. Another problem is that convention translucent wall panels must be relatively thick to achieve desired insulation and spanability properties. Thus where available, the panels are expensive in material usage. Generally conventional integrated windows are used which are particularly expensive.
  • This invention is directed towards providing a wall panel which will address at least some of these problems.
  • STATEMENTS OF INVENTION
  • According to the invention there is provided a wall panel comprising a single body of translucent material, the single body comprising skin wall means and a multiwall support extending between the skin wall means, the skin walls and multiwall support all being of translucent material, and the skin wall means comprising an outer wall, an inner wall, a longitudinally extending first side, and a longitudinally extending second side opposite to the first side, the first side having outer projecting and recess parts and the second side having outer projecting and recess parts, the projecting and recess parts of the first side being of mating form with corresponding recess and projecting parts respectively of the second side for engagement between the first side of one panel and the second side of another like panel.
  • In one embodiment the first side has an outer projecting part, an inner projecting part, and an intermediate recess part between the outer and inner projecting parts and the second side has an outer recess part, an inner recess part and an intermediate projecting part between the inner and outer recess parts.
  • In one embodiment the second side of the panel has an integral hole for reception of a fixing. In this case the outer projecting part of the first side preferably extends to cover the fixing hole of a second side of another like panel. In this way the fixing is not visible in use.
  • In one embodiment the outer projecting part on the first side projects beyond the side edge defined by the inner projecting part and the outer recess part on the second side is recessed further than the inner recess part.
  • In a preferred embodiment at least one side has spacer recesses to receive portion of a spacer bar. Both sides may have spacer recesses, The spacer recesses may be aligned.
  • In a preferred embodiment the translucent material comprises a translucent thermosetting material such as a polycarbonate material.
  • The invention also provides a wall structure incorporating a translucent panel of the invention.
  • In another aspect the invention provides a construction system comprising at least one translucent panel of the invention and a spacer means for bridging a gap between the panel and a support.
  • The spacer may comprise a spacer for supporting one edge of the translucent panel.
  • The spacer may comprise a spacer for supporting adjacent edges of two adjacent translucent panels.
  • The invention further provides a structure incorporating a construction system of the invention.

  • DETAILED DESCRIPTION
  • Referring to the drawings there is illustrated a translucent wall panel 1 comprising a single body of translucent polycarbonate material, the single body comprising skin wall means and a multiwall support 4 extending between the skin wall means. The skin means and the multiwall support are all of translucent polycarbonate material.
  • The translucent wall panel may be of Lexan Thermoclear multiwall polycarbonate sheet from GE Structural Products. This material is highly resistant to sheet covering discoloration, loss of light and loss of strength due to weathering.
  • The skin wall means comprises an outer weather wall 2, an inner liner wall 3, a longitudinally extending first side 5 and a longitudinally extending second side 6 opposite to the first side.
  • The first side 5 has outer projecting and recess parts and the second side 6 has outer projecting and recess parts. The projecting and recess parts of the first side 5 are of mating form with corresponding recess and projecting parts respectively of the second side 6 for engagement between the first side 5 of one panel A and the second side of another like panel B as illustrated for example in FIG. 5.
  • In more detail and referring initially to FIGS. 1 and 2 the first side 5 has an outer projecting part 10, an inner projecting part 21 and an intermediate recess part 11 between the inner and outer projecting parts 10, 21. The second side 6 has an outer recess part 12, an inner recess part 20 and an intermediate projecting part 13 between the inner and outer recess parts 12, 20. The outer projecting part 10 on the first side 5 projects beyond the side margin defined by the inner projecting part 21. Similarly, the outer recess part 12 on the second side 6 is recessed further inboard than the inner recess part 20. The panel in the region of the second side 6 has an integral hole 25 for reception of a fixing 30.
  • Referring particularly to FIGS. 3 and 4 a translucent panel 50 is illustrated which is of similar construction to the panel of FIGS. 1 and 2 and like parts are assigned the same reference numerals. At least one and, in this case, both of the sides 5, 6 have additional spacer recesses 51, 52. For the side 5 the spacer recess is defined by an additional groove 51 formed in the projecting part 21. For the side 6 the spacer recess 52 is defined by the addition of an inner projecting part 53 which extends into the inner recess 20.
  • The spacer recesses 51, 52 are aligned so that when two similar panels 50 are aligned adjacent to one another as illustrated in FIG. 5 a spacer element 60 bridges a gap between the panels 50 and a support frame element 80 such as a purlin. The spacer element 60 in this case has a T-bar 61 with arms 62, 63 which extend into The recesses 51, 52 to retain the panels 50 in position. The spacer 60 is shown in more detail in FIG. 9.
  • As illustrated in FIGS. 6 to 8 a translucent wall panel 50 is generally significantly thinner than a composite panel 70 which is usually used to construct the main portion of a wall. Such composite panels 70 are described for example in our GB 2325678 A. In this case a spacer 65 may be used. The spacer 65 which is shown in detail in FIG. 10 has a single leg 66 which is engaged in the spacer recess 52 on the side 6 of the translucent panel 50 or in the spacer recess 51 on the side 5 of the translucent panel 50.
  • The translucent wall panels of the invention have excellent U-value ratings, do not suffer from the effects of thermal expansion and provide excellent light transmission properties.
  • In the embodiment described the panel is comprised of a translucent polycarbonate material. It will however, be appreciated that the panel may be comprises of any suitable thermosetting material.
  • The translucent wall panel's of the invention have advantages over prior art including the following. The provision of integral joint forming formations enables the panel to be securely connected to adjacent panels. The form of the overlap provides a positive connection between the panels for an improved weatherproof sealed finish.
  • One of the main advantages of the translucent panel of the invention is that it fully interfaces with a composite insulated wall panel. Hence there is no need for. special integrated windows or additional on site interfacing work. The wall can be fitted just as simply as the composite panel. This translucent panel can provide natural daylighting at a time where energy costs are increasing and hence reduce the need for artificial lighting. In addition, the translucent panel allows transmission of natural daylight for applications in factories/offices where people are working or in sports halls and the like which enhances the quality of the working/playing environment in the building.
  • The invention is not limited to the embodiments hereinbefore described which may be varied in detail.
