Composite construction building panel

Abstract

The present invention relates to the Composite Construction Building Panel now present in the prior art, it provides an improved Composite Construction Building Panel. The present invention allows for the Composite Construction Building Panel to be mounted on varying configurations, ranging from vertical, horizontal or overhead securely without requiring any elaborate construction processes. The present invention allows for the Composite Construction Building Panel to be manufactured using simple, relatively inexpensive process equipment that is already available. The present invention allows for the Composite Construction Building Panel to be a complete structural component with the insulating factors for thermal and sound, plus an exterior finished surface that will protect the foam panels and the interior of the building from the elements and also complete the aesthetically pleasing exterior surface so that no other surface need be installed to the exterior of the building. The present invention allows for the Composite Construction Building Panel to allow for windows, doors or any other thru-way to be installed easily and without excessive impact to the cost or labor.

Description

BACKGROUND

1. Description of the Prior Art

Current methods used to construct buildings, notably commercial buildings but, not limited to, is to construct a wall or roof by installing the outer planer surface of a suitable material that will support and protect the interior of the building, it's occupants, and the property contained within, onto a multitude of vertical columns spaced evenly, creating a substantially rectangular, three dimensional shape. A subsequent interior layer of insulating material may then be applied to the interior of the building adjacent to the exterior planer surface facilitating a thermal and sound barrier. Alternately, the walls or roof sections may be pre-fabricated in substantially rectangular sections and then installed onto the building frame work effectively enclosing the interior of the building as noted in Lanahan Aug. 31, 1999 U.S. Pat. No. # 5,943,775. Lanahan's design requires an elaborate pre-process that would impede the manufacture to only the most basic sizes and shapes, thus raising the manufacturing costs to an unacceptable level. Lanahan Jan. 2, 2001, which is a re-issue of Lanahan Aug. 31, 1999 U.S. Pat. No. # 5,943,775. This reissue also requires extensive and elaborate pre-processing, as well as, elaborate and expensive process equipment.
