  • the present invention relates to novel thermoplastic building components for use in the erection of modular building structures, and more particularly such structures as are erected from interconnecting extruded thermoplastic structural components disclosed and claimed in my copending application serial number 2,070,079.
  • the structural components of the said novel building system comprise extruded thermoplastic components incorporating a reinforcing constituent imparting structural strength and expansion control thereto and flowable with the thermoplastic material through an extrusion die to produce an integral essentially rigid structural shape configured to present means for interconnection with adjoining structural components, the components having the reinforcing constituent distributed throughout the thermoplastic material.
  • Such components include extruded rectilinear hollow panels and beams having internal cells and box connectors extruded to have a thermoplastic core or substrate having reinforcing and expansion controlling material distributed therethrough and a smooth coextruded thermoplastic skin on the exposed exterior surfaces of said core.
  • particularly advantageous reinforcing material for incorporation and distribution throughout the core or substrate consisting of a vinyl chloride, eg. a polyvinyl chloride comprises fine short glass fibers with the said skin embedding and interlocking with the glass fiber portions that are exposed at the interface between the reinforced core and the coextruded skin.
  • a suitable glass fiber containing core material providing structural strength and expansion control may be obtained from B.F. Goodrich Company of Akron, Ohio, such material being described in detail in B.F. Goodrich's U.S. Patent 4,536,360.
