Description

Sept. 29, 1959 S. BLUMENSTEIN EXPANSIBLE INSULATION UNIT Filed Sept. l. 1955 INVENTOR. STANLEY BLUMENSTEIN ATTORNEY United States Patent O '2,906,655 EXPANSIBLE INSULATION UNIT Stanley Blumenstein, Whitestone, N.Y. v
Application September 1, 1955, Serial No. 532,040
5 Claims. (Cl. 154-45) This invention relates to insulating material, and is more particularly concerned with anV expansible multiple layer unit for insulating against the passage of heat, vapor and sound. Such a material is customarily installed in the bays or spaces between studs, beams, rafters or similar parallel spaced construction members in buildings, vehicles or boats, etc.
Insulating material of the type with which this invention is concerned employ thin sheets having heat reflective metal surfaces, in conjunction with air spaces adjacent them, to p-rovide heat insulation. Aluminum foil is especially suitable for this purpose, although any suitable metal may be employed, provided it possesses a low radiation factor, i.e. low surface emissivity.
Upon expansion of such thin sheets they bend readily and exert no appreciable force at their points of contact with the body lto be insulated so that they ido not work loose from the body to which they are fastened. There is a need for an insulating material of one or more thin metal foils which remain parallel to the major surface of the air space which they insulate throughout the life thereof, and which will not bunch up or collapse in spots to approach the physical condition of a thick sheet with attendant heat transfer disadvantages and a gradual loosening of the sheet from the body to which it is fastened.
There have previously been other attempts at providing units to accomplish insulating by use of expansible multiple layers, the shortcomings of such prior devices has been in their configuration. Different types of heavy paper slabs or sheathings have been proposed, one type comprising layers of corrugated sheets joined into a rigid unit, another type consisting of layers of sheets extending between the supports of the building, all combining the non-transmissive value of quiescent air with materials to which various degrees of insulation value are attributed.
In an attempt to obtain an insulating material having a plurality of spaced thin metal sheets, it has been suggested to employ bracket-like rigid spreader elements to hold the sheets under tension longitudinally so that they remain parallel. Obviously such a unit will have a short li-fe since any appreciable outside pressure, shock or vibration will either collapse or tear -the sheets. Furthermore, the requirement of assembling and installing spreader elements with the sheets is .a very objectionable time and labor factor with the resultant problem of requiring inspection on the job `to assure uniformity in the amount of tension the various spreader elements apply to the sheets. Also, the rigid spreader elements serve as avenues of heat and sound conductivity, and act to defeat the essential purpose of the insulating unit.
Another device which has been proposed provides two parallel metallic foil sheets attached at each end to a triangular shaped bridging member. Due to such end supports in this type of a device, the middle sheet, i.e. a metallic heat reflective foil, does not extend completely across the bay in installed position. Also, the sheets of foil tend to collapse and touch each other near the center due to the lack of any support between the end members.. In either event the device loses its effectiveness and does not prevent heat loss and sound loss towards the ends of the sheets.
It has further been suggested to mount a pair of metal foils in spaced relation by interposing an accordion plaited foundation of paper with the plaits arranged longitudinally of the unit. While such a construction does maintain the metal foil layers in spaced relationship, the intermediate foundation l-ayer divides the intervening quiescent air spaces into triangular sections. This type of arrangement does not allow for the maintaining of a uniform air space of an optimum width extending along every point adjacent the reflective surface, since the intermediate foundation contacts both foils at numerous places throughout its length. This optimum air spacing, eg. 1% inch for lateral heat flow, has been determined by many experimenters in the thermal insulation field to be a value which cannot be diminished without materially decreasing the insulating value of the reflective air space.
There has thus been present a continuous and real need for an insulation unit which, when installed, provides continuously extending sheets which remain parallel and are maintained -taut over the entire width of the construction bay to be insulated, and wherein the edges of the insulation adjacent the construction members are not areas of weak thermal resistance. Such sheets could be of alternate low (e.g. aluminum) and high (e.g. paper) surface emissivity value.
It is therefore an object of this invention to provide an insulating material formed of a plurality of thin sheets having the same or alternately different surface emissivity values, which are spacedly held apartin parallel relationship. It is a further object of my invention to provide an insulating material formed of a plurality of thin sheets which are so constructed as to be suiiiciently rigid as a unit as to withstand the normally encountered outside pressures, when installed. and maintain the sheets taut and in proper spaced relationship. It is a still further object of this invention to provide an insulating material formed of a plurality of thin sheets having alternately different surface emissivity values which will remain substantially indefinitely in the form in which it is applied, even under the influence of normal outside pressures, vibration and shock. Another object of my` invention is to provide for the installation of continuously parallel sheets of low, or alternately high and low surface emissivity, which cover, while remaining parallel, the 'entire width of the construction bay to be insulated.
Further objects and advantages will become readily apparent from a consideration of the description hereinafter following and from the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification, and in which:
Figure l is a cross-sectional View of a portion of a wall having an insulating unit partially installed according to the invention, with the thickness of the sheets and end portions slightly exaggerated in detail,
yFigure 2 shows the unit of Figure l in completed installation, v
Figure 3 is a cross-sectional view of another embodiment of the invention in partial installation in a construction bay, and
Figure 4 is a cross sectional view showing the unit of Figure 3 in -completed installation.
In ordinary frame building construction itis common to space the wood framing members so that they are approximately 16 on centers. Variations in materials, construction, or both, frequently result in variation in spacing amounting to an inch or even more, plus or minus, and thus the spaces between studs, which are ostensibly spaced 16" on centers, is actually 13% to 15%". When the unit of my invention is applied to the construction bays in such building Walls it is made with a Width of approximately 143/8". It is also quite common in construction to find spacings of 12 or of 24 on center, etc., and similar considerations would apply as to the unit of my invention.
As used hereinafter, the term construction bay is intended to define the space between studs, beams, rafters, etc. in buildings, vehicles, boats, etc. The term plait is intended to define a section of sheet having a plurality of folds. Also, as used above and as used hereinafter,
the word wall is intended to include within its scope a fioor or any continuously extending construction surface, e.g. ceiling.
In the insulation unit of this invention, the edges of the various sheets are so plaited as to create a plurality of flanges or elements of flanges for enabling the attachment of the unit in the construction bay in a two stage operation. I have found that such a two stage installation ensures a mechanically rigid parallel spacing for the sheets with each one supported out of contact from the others and spaced therefrom at different levels. The unit 1 shown in Figure 1 may be of a width corresponding with the space between the studs 2 and 3 is shown as being partially installed in a building wall section having a siding or exterior wall section 4 and an interior wall or sheathing S. The sheets shown in Figure 1 are exaggerated in thickness in order to make clear the interrelationship thereof. The unit 1 includes a top sheet 6 which serves as the reflective sheet and a support sheet 7, which may have one or both surfaces reliective. The sheets 6 or 7 may be made of metallic foil which is reflective to heat and has a low infra-red surface emissivity, e.g. aluminum of a thickness suitable for fabrication, or a paperfoil laminate. Such reective sheets will serve to stop both convection currents and heat rays from transporting heat across the bay. The support sheet serves to form the flanges and lend rigidity to the structure and may be made of suitably treated paper, foil, plastic or cloth, or combinations thereof.
The top sheet has folds 9 and 10 at each end thereof. The support sheet has a double fold 11, 12 and 13, 14 at each end thereof. Referring to the fold 13 (which is similar to fold 11), it is readily seen that the sides 14a and 14b of this fold receive the folded over end of sheet 6. These elements form a first fiange 16. The sides of folds 11 and 9 also cooperate to form a similar flange 17. The sides of these folds which form the anges 16 and 17 are affixed one to the other as by glue or any other fastening means to hold them in assembly. The flanges 16 and 17 serve as the means by which the sheet 6 is affixed to the constructional members 2 and 3 to hold it taut. Means such as stapling are commonly used to accomplish this step. Similarly the sheet 7 (which is shown in Figure 1 as being partially unfolded) has folds 18 and 22 (see Figure 2). The sides 20 and 21 of fold 18 and the sides 23 and 24 of fold 22 form second flanges 26 and 28, respectively. These anges are also in turn affixed to the constructional members 2 and 3 as a second step in installing the unit 1. This last step serves to stretch sheet 7 taut.
Figures 3 and 4 show another embodiment of my invention wherein, in addition to the reflective sheet 6 and the space-dividing sheet 7', a second reflective sheet 30 is used. Obviously, the number of space-dividing sheets 7' and additional reflective sheets 30, may be increased to any number desired, although practical limitations as to cost and space in the bay will probably limit the number.
The top sheet 6 is identical with the sheet 6 of Figures 1 and 2, having folds 9 and 10 at the ends thereof. The space dividing sheet 7' has only the single folds 31 and 32 at the ends thereof. In this embodiment there are support members 33 and 34 at the ends of the unit. There are also made of paper, foil, etc. The members 33 and 34 have the ends of the space dividing sheet 7 atiixed thereto by glueing or other' suitable means. The supporting member 33 has a double fold 35, 36 at its upper end, and the supporting member 34 has a double fold 37, 38 at its upper end. In a manner similar to that shown in Figure 1, the sides of the double folds of members 33, 34 cooperate with the folded over ends of sheet 6 to form first flanges 16 and 17. These flanges 16' and 17 serve as the means by which the sheet 6 is aixed to the constructional members 2 and 3 to hold it taut. In Figure 3 both sheets 7 and 30 are shown as being partly unfolded. Sheet 30 has folds 39 and 40 at the ends thereof (see Figure 4). The supporting members 33 and 34 have folds 42 and 41, respectively, at the lower ends thereof. The sides of the fold 41 and the sides of the fold 42 cooperate with the folded over ends of sheet 30 to form flanges 44 and 43, respectively. These flanges 43 and 44 serve as the means whereby the sheets 7 and 30 are drawn taut, when they are affixed to the constIuctional members 2 and 3.
It is thus seen from both of the embodiments described above that the insulation unit of the invention embodies `two pairs of flange means which are separably affixed to the constructional members in a construction bay to draw different sheets taut and maintain them in parallel spaced relationship, and extending across the entire width of the space to be insulated. Any desired depth or number of intervening air spaces may be designed into the unit, and it will be maintained throughout the width of the construction bay or wall space to be insulated.
.It will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art that various substitutions and modifications, such as further increasing the number of stapling flanges, may be made in the above described preferred embodiments without departing from -the scope of the appended claims.
