Publication number: 20130133277Abstract: An insulating panel to be used in a panelized insulation system for insulating and finishing walls, including basement walls has a foam core made of inorganic materials. The system incorporates a capillary break, an integrated water drainage system and an electrical wire chase system within an insulating wall panel. Vertical slots are provided for insertion of metal studs for use in attaching the interior finish panel, such as inorganic fiber cement board with a vinyl laminate finish, onto the insulating panels. Embedding metal studs in the panel core reduces the sound transmission though the panel and eliminates thermal bridging between warm and cold surfaces. Steps on the edges and the top/bottom surfaces of the insulating panel allow more panels to join together with shiplap joints.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 30, 2011Publication date: May 30, 2013Inventor: David L. Lewis

Patent number: 8448396Abstract: A laminated insulated timber is described possessing a laminate essentially composed of plurality of side planks, a top plank and a bottom plank that box in an insulation member. The planks are offset relative to one another to form a tongue and groove arrangement. In this manner, other like laminated insulated timbers join together along the tongue and groove arrangements to interlock and stack, thus forming a structural wall of laminated insulated timbers.Type: GrantFiled: February 17, 2011Date of Patent: May 28, 2013Assignee: International Homes of CedarInventors: Rodney Reynaud Robertson, Thomas Jay Warren

Publication number: 20130036693Abstract: The present invention relates to a lightweight bidirectional hollow core slab, and a doughnut-shaped hollow core body which may be advantageously used in the construction of a bidirectional hollow core slab. The doughnut-shaped hollow core body according to the present invention includes an outer case formed in a generally doughnut shape, wherein a hollow portion with a circular section is formed in the center thereof and corners are rounded with curved surfaces. The bidirectional hollow core slab according to the present invention is made by stably locating the doughnut-shaped hollow core bodies in concrete in such a manner that the doughnut-shaped hollow core body is restrained and mounted in steel bar cages or on the upper and lower steel bars.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 21, 2010Publication date: February 14, 2013Inventors: Seung Chang Lee, Jeong Keun Oh, Chang Sik Choi, Hyun Ki Choi
