Description

    FIELD OF THE INVENTION
  • This invention relates to a thermal insulation quilt for use particularly, but not exclusively, in the building industry for the lining of roofs, walls etc either as a new build installation, or as part of property renovation or improvement
    • BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • Thermal insulation quilts are known comprising a multi-layered materials having differing thermal insulation or reflective properties. One known membrane comprises multiple layers of polyester fibre, metallised polyester, extruded polyethylene, and aluminium foil, the number of layers usually being determined to meet the various thermal insulation standards for the particular installation involved. In practice, the multiple layers have been secured together by stitching and although efficient this results in the disadvantageous compression of the various insulating layers and resultant loss of thermal insulation, such that cold “spots” are created along the line of stitching, along which line the intended thermal insulation properties may not be achieved.
    • OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
  • A basic object of the invention is to provide an improved multi-layer quilt.
    • SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
  • According to the present invention there is provided a multi-layer, thermal insulation quilt comprising two spaced apart, outer layers at least one of which is a reflective thermal insulation layer, between which outer layers there is provided at least one inner layer of thermal insulation, characterised in that the outer layers are secured together by an array of non-metallic restraining tags of selected length, whereby the tags determine the maximum separation of the outer layers but effect no compressive loading on the or each thermal insulation layer.
    • ADVANTAGES OF THE INVENTION
  • With the avoidance of stitching and the securing by the tags, the linear cold spots of prior art multi-layer quilts are avoided, as the securing technique in accordance with the invention results in no compression of the e.g. fibrous inner layer.
  • After installation the tags can, if required, be removed (for example by cutting), thereby allowing the inner layer(s) to bag out further either naturally, following slight compression by the tags, and/or under gravity, trapping more air and provide greater thermal insulation properties.
    • PREFERRED OR OPTIONAL FEATURES
  • Both outer layers are of reflective thermal insulation.
  • The or each outer layer of reflective thermal insulation is a foil.
  • The or each outer layer of reflective thermal insulation is aluminium foil.
  • The or each outer layer of reflective thermal insulation is metallic polyester foil.
  • The outer surface of the aluminium foil is provided with a coating to prevent, or reduce, oxidation.
  • The coating is of nitrocellulose.
  • The or each outer, aluminium foil layers is re reinforced by a grid of fibre lass fibres.
  • The thermal insulation layer(s) is/are compressible.
  • The thermal insulation layer(s) is/are fibrous.
  • The quilt comprises multiple fibrous insulation layers, at least some of which are separated by metallised layers and/or extruded polyethylene foil layers.
  • The quilt comprises six fibrous insulation layers and five separating layers.
  • The separating layers, being enclosed within the quilt, and hence not subjected to abrasion etc during transportation, handling and installation, are of a non-reinforced kind.
  • The tags are of nylon.
  • The tags are of monofilament nylon.
  • The tags are of cotton.
  • Each tag comprises an abutment, an enlargement, or a head at each end adapted to engage the external surface of the adjacent outer layer.
  • The abutment etc is an orthogonal bar of T-like form.
  • The abutment etc, at least at one end of the tag, is circular etc to provide an enlarged abutment surface.
  • The tags are of a contrasting colour compared with the outer layers, such that the location of each tag is readily identifiable should it be required to release or remove the tags e.g. by cutting the tag with scissors after installation, to permit expansion or bagging of the quilt, which provides further improved thermal insulation properties.
  • The quilt is such that, after manufacture, it can be rolled up for ease of transportation and storage.
  • The tags are installed at suitable longitudinal and transverse spacing such that when a say 1.5 m wide quilt is cut to size or fit, a sufficient number of tags remain in place to maintain the integrity of the quilt along suitable connection lines whether straight or zig-zag.
  • The connection lines are at least adjacent peripheral edges of the quilt. A specific example of quilt in accordance with the invention comprises 15 layers, being:
    • 1. foil insulation shiny side facing out;
    • 2. polyester wadding;
    • 3. metallised polyester;
    • 4. extruded polyethylene;
    • 5. extruded polyethylene;
    • 6. metallised polyester;
    • 7. polyester wadding;
    • 8. metallised polyester;
    • 9. polyester wadding;
    • 10. metallised polyester;
    • 11. extruded polyethylene;
    • 12. extruded polyethylene;
    • 13. metallised polyester;
    • 14. polyester wadding;
    • 15. foil insulation shiny side facing out.
    DRAWINGS
  • One example of a multi-layer membrane in accordance with the invention is shown in the accompanying diagrammatic drawings, in which:
  • FIG. 1 is a section through a portion of a quilt where a tag is located;
  • FIG. 2 details the tag of FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 3 is a view of a portion of quilt showing an array of tags; and
  • FIG. 4 details a 15 layer quilt which is exploded to illustrate the various layers.
    •
  • In the drawings, a multi-layer thermal insulation quilt 1 comprises two spaced-apart, outer layers 2, 3 at least one of which is aluminium foil with the shiny side of the foil facing outwardly and provided with a protective coating (as known in the industry). Between the outer layers 2, 3 are multiple inner layers 4 of thermal insulation such as polyester wadding, separated by layers 11 of metallised polyester, and layers 12 of extruded polyethylene.
  • In accordance with the invention, the outer layers 2, 3 are secured together by an array of retaining tags 5 of nylon having an enlarged head or abutment 6, 7 at each opposite end, and a relatively thin connecting strand 8.
  • FIG. 2 details the so-called “Kimble” tag(s) 5 of FIG. 1, which tag(s) 5 is a proprietary item used for instance in the clothing industry and insertable by a gun.
  • FIG. 3 is a plan view of quilt 1 showing how the tags 5 may be inserted in straight lines 9, or in zig-zag lines 10 along the quilt 1, with the lines being at selected spacings e.g. 450 mm apart. Clearly other patterns of tag insertion may be employed, if considered desirable.
