<p>Highly insulating connector rods (10) used in making highly insulative composite wall structures are disclosed. The high R-value connector is injection molded in a single step from an appropriate resinous material or moldable plastic. Discontinuous fibers may be impregnated within the resinous material or other plastic. Connector rod (10) has a pointed end (22) for facilitating entry through an insulating layer (80) and a first structural layer (70) and an enlarged head (28) for receiving an impact from a hammer or mallet. Enlarged head (28) also provides an anchoring effect within a second structural layer (90). A ridge or flange (26) helps to orient connector rod (10) when inserted into the insulating material (80) and also helps to prevent the collapse of the second structural layer (90) toward the first structural layer (70).</p> |
