CROSS REFERENCE TO A RELATED APPLICATION This application is a division of pending application Ser. No. 214,539, filed Jan. 3, 1972.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION This invention relates generally to the construction art and, more particularly, to certain new and useful prefabricated, modular building constructions.
There presently exists a need for an inexpensive and practical form of construction for residential housing, industrial, commercial and institutional buildings which can be mass produced and prefabricated off the job site and readily installed at the construction site by unskilled labor with maximum efficiency. In an effort to satisfy this need, various prefabricated modular building constructions have been proposed to provide structures which can be readily installed and which are demountable and movable to shift walls, partitions and the like to other positions. While'these prior known prefabricated constructions partially satisfy this need, they possess certain disadvantages. Some of these constructions include structural elements and components which span the entire width between walls to interfere with the placement of conduits, piping and the like. Sometimes, these known constructions do not provide adequate sound and heat control and are not capable of withstanding abnormally elevated temperatures, such as accompany a fire. Moreover, their versatility is often limited so that the various components constituting the prefabricated construction can not be readily interchanged or combined to form a variety of arrangements.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION A primary object of the present invention is to obviate the above disadvantages by providing an improved modular wall construction, which can be quickly erected at the construction site by unskilled labor and which results in a strong and rigid construction, which is attractive in appearance, extremely versatile, relatively low in costs, and which possesses desirable sound and heat control qualities.
Another object of this invention is to provide a detachable, double wall panel construction defining a substantially uninterrupted space therein which can be left undisturbed for the placement of conduits and the like therein, or which can be filled with concrete or other building material in which case the detachable double wall panel construction serves as a pouring form which can either be removed when the building material has set to leave a permanent wall core remaining or which can remain intact'to form with such core a composite permanent wall structure.
Another object of the present invention is to provide the foregoing double wall panel construction with a plurality of novel components having a structural configuration whereby they can be used in pairs in a nested relation or combined with each other to support the double wall panel construction in any orientation as perimeter or partition walls.
Still another object of this invention is to provide the foregoing wall construction with various detachable frame assemblies for mounting doors, windows and the like therein.
A further object of the present invention is to provide the foregoing double wall panel construction with supporting base structures in a variety of forms to enable erection of the former in any desired arrangement.
The foregoing and other objects, advantages and characterizing features of this invention will become clearly apparent from the ensuing detailed description of illustrative embodiments thereof, taken together with the accompanying drawings wherein like reference numerals denote like parts throughout the various views.
