Patents by Inventor James H. Gibbar

James H. Gibbar has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 7810293
    Abstract: Multiple layers of polymer foam form structural concrete into a desired planar shape that retains a foam panel when flat or upright. The polymer foam has a planar shape and an exterior surface with multiple channels into the panel. The channels are generally wider at the bottom and narrower towards the top, preferably a trapezoidal shape. In use, the panel is placed flat within a forming frame, exterior surface upwards. Then concrete is poured upon the exterior surface and into the channels. The trapezoidal shape of the channel prevents removal of the panel from the concrete. The concrete panel can then be used flat or upright as specified for a construction project.

  • Patent number: 5172532
    Abstract: A prefabricated polymer building wall panel, generally formed of polystyrene, as a slab, is sculpted to form grooves therein, by hot wire cutting, or by other cutting means, and into which reinforcement rods may be located, in preparation for the pouring or pumping of concrete therein, to form a concrete built skeletal structure for reinforcing the panel, as they are erected into a building wall structure. Vermiculite, lightweight concrete, or polystyrene sheet is applied over the open grooved side of the polystyrene sheet, either before or after concrete is poured therein, to provide either an outer or inner surface for the building wall, when erected, and slots are provided along each side or upper or lower edge of each panel, so that the panels can be assembled, either side by side, or one above the other, during their erection.

  • Patent number: 5038541
    Abstract: A polymer building or other structured wall form construction wherein forms prefabricated of polymer, such as polystyrene, are assembled together, spaced apart by integrally connecting polymer or blocks, spacers, or spool means, erected upon a foundation footing, or other base structure, through their insertion of L-shaped ties, with the wall forms being erected to the height desired for the subject building or other structure, whether it be a commercial, industrial, or residential building, through the application of tee-shaped ties therebetween, Reinforcement is located in the spacing between the blocks or spacers, of the wall forms, and concrete may be poured therein, either at the job site, where the building is being constructed, or at the manufacturing plant, where the wall forms are formed, in order to provide a latticework of reinforced concrete for the composite wall.

Reinforcement is located in the spacing between the blocks of the wall forms, and concrete may be poured therein, to provide a latticework of reinforced concrete for the composite wall. A top beam form of plate cap is arranged upon the upper edge of the formed wall, with a concrete beam being poured simultaneously with the construction of the assembled wall.
