Definitions

  • a method of forming a building is a method of forming a building.
  • a preferred form of the invention relates to spray forming a building or panels for producing a building.
  • a method of forming a building comprising the steps of:
  • the first spray material comprises polyurethane foam.
  • the second spray material comprises polyurea.
  • the method is used to produce a wall-roof combination panel for use as part of the building.
  • edge support frame is substantially embedded at an edge of the panel.
  • the second spray material envelopes the first spray material and the frame.
  • part of the skin is applied before the first spray material is removed from the mould.
  • the mould is curved in at least its vertical dimension for producing a complimentary shaped wall-roof combination panel.
  • the mould has a central ridge running vertically for forming a
  • the door frame straddles the central ridge to provide for a door opening in the wall-roof combination panel.
  • edge support frames there are at least two of the edge support frames, one at each side of a wall-roof combination panel.
  • At least one of the edge support frames comprises a wooden beam.
  • the mould gives the wall-roof panel a stepped end.
  • the mould is used to create a series of individual separate wall-roof combination panels for the building, and such that: • the first spray material comprises polyurethane foam;
  • the second spray material comprises polyurea
  • each panel is formed to have a joining step at at least one end;
  • fasteners are driven through the ends of the panels to connect them so that each fastener passes through the support frames of adjoining panels to hold them together;
  • each panel has a central ridge
  • At least one of the panels has a window frame substantially embedded in the polyurethane.
  • the door frame extends across either side the central ridge of the respective panel.
  • window frames are placed on the same mould in different positions for different panels formed for the same building, to give each panel a differently disposed window space.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Figure 1 illustrates a finished building 1 produced in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the invention. The building has been assembled from a series of curved wall panels 2 engaged with one another end-to-end. Each wall panel includes a roof portion 3 so that in essence it provides a wall and roof section all in one. The panels 2 are fastened to a foundation or base 4 that provides a floor for the building.
As shown, each panel 2 has a central stiffening ridge 5, and at least one of the panels 2a has an outward extension 6 providing space for a door 7. In some embodiments there may be a second or alternative door space, without an extension, as shown at 8.
Figure 2 illustrates a mould 9 for producing the panel 2a that incorporates the extension for the door 7. The mould is preferably metallic, for example steel, so that it has durability for substantial manufacturing re-use. To create the extension 9 for the door 7 a door frame 10 is held against the mould 9. As can be seen, the rear part 1 1 of the door frame 10 is contoured to match the outer surface 12 of the mould so as to enable a snug butting fit between the two. The door frame 10 is preferably formed from a suitable wooden material such as plywood (eg 17-20 mm thick), although any suitable alternative material can be used, for example fiberglass, etc. With further reference to figure 2, the mould 9 has a central ridge 13 for creating the stiffening ridge 5 of the finished panel. The door frame 10 has horizontal upper and lower sheets 14, 15 each having a V shaped back-edge 16, 17 to compliment the contour of the mould at its central ridge 13. As shown, the lower edge 18 of the mould, either side of the central ridge 13, extends horizontally in a straight line fashion. The mould 9 curves or arcs back, away from its lower edge, as it extends upwards.
The same mould shown in figure 2 is used for wall panels that do not include a doorway. In that case the door frame 10 is simply omitted when the panel is created.
To form wall panels as above the outer face of the mould 9 is sprayed with rapid curing expanding polyurethane foam to a thickness commensurate with the end use of the building. For example when the building is for use in cold and wind exposed climates, the panel is made thicker than for warmer calmer climates. Optionally the polyurethane foam is sprayed to a thickness of 70-150 mm, preferably about 80-100 mm and more preferably about 80 mm. When the polyurethane foam is 100 mm thick the panel provides for a heat-insulation‘R’ rating of about‘6’.
When the wall panel is to include a doorway the door frame 10 is fitted as shown in figure 2, before the polyurethane is sprayed. Spraying is such that the door frame 10 becomes embedded in the polyurethane, except of course its rearmost edge which butts against the mould.
When the polyurethane has cured sufficiently the partially formed panel is removed from the mould 9. It is then sprayed with polyurea, preferably to a thickness of 1 -6 mm, and most preferably 2 mm, to give the panel an enveloping elastomeric skin. It is best not to spray the polyurea until the polyurethane foam has cured fully, given that the foam may shrink as it sets. It has been found that the skin significantly increases the strength of the panel as it in a sense ties the front and rear faces of the panel together (eg it wraps completely around the left and right hand ends). In some embodiments the polyurea skin at the front of the panel may be sprayed onto the polyurethane prior to removal from the mould. When the desired number of panels has been made they are fastened end-to-end to give the building a generally rounded configuration. Referring to figure 3, to assist the end-to-end fastening, each panel has at least one embedded support frame 19 at each end. In each case the support frame 19 is in the form of a single vertically running wooden beam (eg a strip of plywood) that is square or rectangular in transverse cross section (eg 9-12 mm thick), although in other embodiments alternative materials may be used, for example plastic, steel, aluminium, etc. As shown, each panel has a stepped portion 20 at one side for receiving a complimentary edge 21 of the panel that is immediately adjacent. The support frames 19 provide a zone that a laterally disposed screw 22 can bite into to hold the ends of the panels securely together. The panels are screw fastened to one another at vertically spaced positions, each in the manner illustrated. As shown in figure 4, each panel may have three of the support frames 19, two at the stepped end and one at the other end. In each case the frames 19 are partially embedded in the polyurethane foam 23. The parts of the frames 19 that are not embedded by polyurethane are embedded by the polyurea skin 24 (see figure 3).
The building can be readily disassembled by removing the screws from the panels and releasing the panels from the base 4.
Figure 5 illustrates a metallic building mould 25 used in a further embodiment of the invention. The mould is for receiving a spray covering of polyurethane foam in the manner described above, except that the whole building is sprayed in one application as opposed to only producing wall panels for later assembly. When the polyurethane has cured it is removed from the mould 25 and an enveloping polyurea skin is sprayed over it. The outer portion of the skin may or may not be sprayed before the polyurethane is removed from the mould 25. In the figure 5 embodiment there is no need for fastening panels end to end seeing as the walls of the building are continuous.
With further reference to figure 5, a door frame 10 of the same sort described above is butted against one side of the mould 25 so that it can be spray-embedded into the polyurethane. As shown, the door frame 10 does not straddle any of the corner ridges 26. Figures 6 and 7 illustrate finished buildings formed by way of a mould the same or similar to that of figure 5.
In some embodiments of the invention buildings produced according to at least the figure 1 and 5 embodiments may include one or more windows. An example of such window is shown in figure 8. The window 26 is formed in the same manner as the door in that a window frame is placed against the mould and sprayed over with the polyurethane foam. An enveloping polyurea skin is then sprayed as above. The window frame may be formed from any suitable substance, but is preferably wooden, for example plywood (eg 17-20 mm thick). It may be held against the mould in an elevated disposition prior to spraying, by screws or any other suitable fixing means.
Figure 9 illustrates an alternative metallic mould 27 which has three sides 28 and an open front 29. Window frames 30 of the same sort described above are arranged on the mould in an elevated disposition. The mould 27 is sprayed over with
polyurethane foam to embed the window frames as above (ie except the parts that touch the mould) and an enveloping polyurea skin is then applied.
Preferably in each embodiment a suitable liquid wax is applied to the mould before spraying the polyurethane, so as to make it easier to remove the polyurethane when cured. While applied in liquid form, solvent carrying the wax evaporates after application, leaving a solid wax coating behind. In each case the outer face of the mould that receives the polyurethane is smooth so as to enhance the aesthetics of the interior of the finished building.
In some embodiments of the invention inserts may be added to the mould before spraying with polyurethane, in each case to cause channels to form within the polyurethane to accommodate electrical outlet sockets or building services such as pipes and cables, etc.
Advantages of at least some embodiments of the invention are -
• the polyurethane and polyurea are not prone to rotting and therefore the
building is less prone to water damage;
• the same mould can be used for buildings of thicker or thinner walls;
• there is no need to separate mould halves by releasing associated clamps or other fixings to remove a sandwiched panel or building (ie because the polyurethane is sprayed on only one side of the mould);
• the position of a door or window can be changed without having to have
different moulds for each new position;
• as door and window frames are moulded in they are less likely to be points of undesired water ingress; and • buildings can be formed to have an outside rough cast appearance, or a smooth appearance, depending on the skill of the person spraying the polyurethane.
By way of example, in each case mentioned above the polyurethane foam is preferably Zero ODP Polyurethane Spray Foam Insulation, Endurathane SR42M, available from the Polymer Group Ltd, Auckland, New Zealand. In each case the polyuria is preferably Pure Polyurea Spray Lining, Endurathane P-515 available from the same supplier.
While some embodiments of the invention have been described by way of example it should be appreciated that modifications and improvements can occur without departing from the scope of the following claims.
