Patent number: 9513017Abstract: An insulation system for a thermal oven. The insulation system comprises a cabinet and a liner positioned within the cabinet. The liner defines an oven cavity. The liner includes opposing sides, a top, a bottom, a front and a back. A layer of insulation is positioned between the cabinet and the outside of the opposing sides, top, bottom and back of the liner. The layer of insulation is positioned to create an air gap between the insulation and the opposing sides, top, bottom and back of the liner. The insulation has a thermal energy reflective facing attached to an interior surface facing the liner.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2015Date of Patent: December 6, 2016Assignee: Owens Corning Intellectual Capital, LLCInventors: Manoj K. Choudhary, Francis S. Tyler

Patent number: 7793474Abstract: A quoin formed of individual over-mount corner units constructed as simulated brick to match the adjoining wall panels forming the exterior cover of an exterior wall of a building is provided. The corner units are formed with a front portion configured as courses of brick separated by mortar joints joined to a rear plate that provides a support frame for the corner unit. Multiple standoffs are positioned on the rear plate opposite mortar joints formed on the front portion to provide a location for driving fasteners to mount the corner unit onto the building substructure. The overlapping nature of the corner units with respect to the wall panels allows the wall panels to be cut imprecisely at the exterior corner. The standoffs maintain a predetermined spacing between the building substructure and the rear plate to establish a channel for the drainage of moisture due to condensation or rain infiltration.Type: GrantFiled: March 20, 2008Date of Patent: September 14, 2010Assignee: Owens Corning Intellectual Capital, LLCInventors: Francis S. Tyler, David C. Hines, David H. Wolf, Joshua M. Broehl, Jamison J. Float, James H. Lua

Patent number: 7617609Abstract: A tool is provided for calculating the length and number of filler design elements to be used to eliminate an irregular gap in a wall being covered with cast veneer wall panels having a series of repeating design elements. The tool includes a ruler having gap measurement, length of cut and number of filler design element scales. The tool also includes a medial slide carried on the ruler. Two measuring points are also provided. The first is carried on the ruler. The second is carried on the medial slide.Type: GrantFiled: April 4, 2008Date of Patent: November 17, 2009Assignee: Owens Corning Intellectual Capital, LLCInventors: Francis S.

Publication number: 20090249718Abstract: A corner panel for a veneer wall panel system includes a body having a fastener section extending in a first plane and a fastenerless section extending in a second plane. The first and second planes define an included corner angle A. In addition, a method is provided for securing a corner panel of a veneer wall panel system to a corner of an underlying support structure. That method includes the step of positioning the corner panel on the corner of the underlying support structure, fastening the corner panel to the support structure only along a first section of the corner panel and maintaining a second section of the corner panel free of any fasteners. In this way, it is possible to decouple any corner stresses between the corner panel and the underlying support structure.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 3, 2008Publication date: October 8, 2009Inventors: Francis S.
