Patent number: 6293069Abstract: An insulating structure comprises a board of insulating material having two major surfaces, two side edges and top and bottom edges, and facing sheets on each of the major surfaces, and a generally rectangular closure strip having two equal and integral side portions. One side portion is bonded to one of the facing sheets and extends over said facing sheet from the top edge to the bottom edge and inwardly a short distance from one of the side edges of the board. The other side portion extends outwardly away from the board a short distance from said side edge. A plurality of the insulating structures are positioned in abutting relationship to form an insulating envelope covering a wall or roof of a building.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 2000Date of Patent: September 25, 2001Assignee: Celotex CorporationInventors: Perry F. Monda, Leon F. Barry, Joseph R. Hagan, William J. Cole

Patent number: 6108991Abstract: An exterior wall assembly comprising an outer weather-resistant layer, a heat insulating panel situated interiorly to the outer layer, a wall situated interiorly to the insulating panel, and a drainage track. The drainage track includes a clog-resistant drainage channel so that water collecting behind the insulating panel may drain from the assembly. The drainage track, in a preferred form, is extruded from PVC and defines a substantially L-shaped configuration in cross-section. An elongated, relatively tall flashing leg is provided for attachment of the drainage track to the wall such that all water-resistant material and insulation laps over the flashing leg to direct water into the drainage channel. Finish apertures are provided through a portion of the drainage track so that exterior finish such as, for example, stucco, will readily adhere and bond to the drainage track.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 1998Date of Patent: August 29, 2000Assignee: Celotex CorporationInventors: Joseph R. Hagan, Kim K. DeVormer, Fred H. Hansen

Patent number: 5836135Abstract: A drainage track useful in combination with exterior insulation and finish systems including a clog-resistant drainage channel so that water collecting behind the exterior insulation and finish may drain from the structure. The drainage track, in a preferred form, is extruded from PVC and defines a substantially L-shaped configuration in cross-section. An elongated, relatively tall flashing leg is provided for attachment of the drainage track to the structure such that all water resistant material and insulation laps over the flashing leg to direct water into the drainage channel. Finish apertures are provided through a portion of the drainage track so that exterior finish such as, for example, stucco, will readily adhere and bond to the drainage track.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 1997Date of Patent: November 17, 1998Inventors: Joseph R. Hagan, Kim DeVormer, Fred Hansen

Patent number: 4386983Abstract: A structural laminate comprises at least one planar facing sheet with a rigid foam attached to one surface of the facing sheet. The rigid foam may be any polymeric material which is capable of being foamed. Distributed substantially evenly throughout the foam is a mat of long glass fibers arranged in layers substantially parallel to the facing sheet. The process for producing this structural laminate comprises the steps of contacting a thin, substantially incompressible yet expansible mat of long glass fibers with a foam-forming mixture, positioning a facing sheet on each face of the mat, and passing the facing sheets having the mat and the foam-forming mixture therebetween through means for metering the amount of foam-forming mixture and causing it to fully penetrate between the fibers of said glass mat.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 1981Date of Patent: June 7, 1983Assignee: The Celotex CorporationInventors: Donald E. Hipchen, Michael J. Skowronski, Joseph R. Hagan

Patent number: 4284683Abstract: A structural laminate comprises at least one planar facing sheet with a rigid foam attached to one surface of the facing sheet. The rigid foam may be any polymeric material which is capable of being foamed. Distributed substantially evenly throughout the foam is a mat of long straight glass fibers arranged in layers substantially parallel to the facing sheet. The process for producing this structural laminate comprises the steps of contacting a thin, substantially incompressible yet expansible mat of long straight glass fibers with a foam-forming mixture on each face of the mat, and passing the facing sheets having the mat and the foam-forming mixture there between through the nip of two rotating rolls.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 1979Date of Patent: August 18, 1981Assignee: The Celotex CorporationInventors: Donald E. Hipchen, Michael J. Skowronski, Joseph R. Hagan

Patent number: 4118533Abstract: A structural laminate comprises at least one planar facing sheet with a rigid foam attached to one surface of the facing sheet. The rigid foam is characterized in that the major recurring chemical linkage therein is the isocyanurate moiety. Distributed substantially evenly throughout the foam is a mat of long straight glass fibers arranged in layers substantially parallel to the facing sheet. The process for producing this structural laminate comprises the steps of contacting a thin, substantially incompressible yet expansible mat of long straight glass fibers with a foam-forming mixture of an organic polyisocyanate and a diol, positioning a facing sheet on each face of the mat, and passing the facing sheets having the mat and the foam-forming mixture there between through the nip of two rotating rolls.Type: GrantFiled: January 19, 1976Date of Patent: October 3, 1978Assignee: CelotexInventors: Donald E. Hipchen, Michael J. Skowronski, Joseph R. Hagan
