Encapsulated panel systems

摘要

This application describes insulated panel systems with first and second encapsulated foam core panels having foam cores, coated with or otherwise encapsulated in a shell material. Front and back overlap members may be fixed to the first encapsulated foam core panel or the second encapsulated foam core panel to allow the insulated panel system to removeably cover a container around a perimeter of the container (i.e., in a lateral direction relative to the container). A drip edge and overlap member may be fixed to the first encapsulated foam core panel to allow the insulated panel system to removeably cover a container vertically along a height of the container (i.e., in a vertical direction relative to the container).

主权项

1. An insulated panel system for covering an exterior of a container comprising:
a first encapsulated foam core panel comprising:
an interior surface substantially coated by a first layer of sprayable polymer, an exterior surface substantially coated by the first layer of sprayable polymer, and end surfaces substantially coated by the first layer of sprayable polymer;a front overlap member formed of a second layer of sprayable polymer that is bonded to the first layer of sprayable polymer that coats the exterior surface of the first encapsulated foam core panel;a back overlap member formed of the second layer of sprayable polymer that is bonded to the first layer of sprayable polymer that coats the interior surface of the first encapsulated foam core panel;a second encapsulated foam core panel, coupleable to the first encapsulated foam core panel, comprising:
an interior surface substantially coated by the first layer of sprayable polymer, an exterior surface substantially coated by the first layer of sprayable polymer, and end surfaces substantially coated by the first layer of sprayable polymer;a front overlap member formed of the second layer of sprayable polymer that is bonded to the first layer of sprayable polymer that coats the exterior surface of the second encapsulated foam core panel;a back overlap member formed of the second layer of sprayable polymer that is bonded to the first layer of sprayable polymer that coats the interior surface of the second encapsulated foam core panel;wherein the front overlap member of the first encapsulated foam core panel and the back overlap member of the first encapsulated foam core panel define a channel that receives a portion of the second encapsulated foam core panel to couple the first and second encapsulated foam core panels and allow the insulated panel system to removably cover the exterior of the container.
