Insulated Wall System

摘要

A new prefabricated wall panel is the basic unit of a new, more efficient and stronger wall system. The wall panel is manufactured from a plurality of foam sections sized to leave vertical and horizontal voids into which concrete is later poured, each foam section having an inner and outer surface and two sides; and a plurality of fastening strips. The fastening strips are longitudinal metal strips being situated between the sides of two foam sections. Each fastening strip has two longitudinal fastening strips projecting perpendicularly to the longitudinal fastening strip and the fastening strips being adjacent to the outer surface of the two foam sections. The fastening strip also has a plurality of clearance holes in the longitudinal fastening strip, a plurality of embed tabs projecting from the edge opposite the fastening strips, each embed tab having at least one hole, and between each pair of embed tabs, a foam tab to hold the two inner sides of the foam sections in place and partially separate the foam sections from the concrete to be poured into a form.

主权项

1. A prefabricated wall panel comprising
a. At least one foam section designed with vertical voids into which concrete is later poured, each foam section having an inner and outer surface, two sides and top and bottom sections with horizontal voids into which concrete is poured to form horizontal studs, the inner and outer surfaces having at least one slot per void, the slot connecting the vertical voids with the surface; and b. a plurality of metal strips, the metal strips comprising
i. a longitudinal metal strip being situated within a slot,ii. two longitudinal fastening strips projecting perpendicularly from a longitudinal metal strip, the fastening strips being adjacent to the outer surface of the two foam sections;iii. a plurality of clearance holes in the longitudinal metal strip;iv. a plurality of embed tabs projecting from the edge opposite the fastening strips;v. each embed tab having at least one hole; vi. between each pair of embed tabs, a foam tab that grips the inside wall of the outer foam accurately positioning and securing the fastener strips in place within the foam.
