052404400 | Composed of modules having complementary abutting edges | 9 |
20100095621 | HIGH PERFORMANCE INSULATED STRUCTURAL PANEL - An insulated structural panel is made from expanded polystyrene (EPS) panel and a plurality of interior and exterior structural members that are affixed to one another by screws is provided. When assembled, the interior and exterior structural members are flush with the EPS panel. A tongue at one end of the EPS panel engages a grove at another end of another EPS panel, therein permitting interlocking two or more EPS panels. The interior panel is C-shaped and is slid into a C-shaped passage in the EPS panel formed by hot-wire cutting the EPS panel. The exterior structural member is positioned within a channel formed opposite the passage. A top plate connects a plurality of interior structural members. A seam covering member is affixed to the one end of the EPS panel and is flush with the EPS panel. A thermal break is provided between the interior and exterior structural members. | 04-22-2010 |
20110154765 | INSULATED WALL - A section of the wall has a plurality of interspaced structural members mounted between an upper frame member and a lower frame member, and insulating material generally filling the space between the structural members and upper and lower frame members. | 06-30-2011 |
20120036805 | INSULATION BARRIER FOR CEILING HATCH OPENINGS - A barrier or dam to contain loose insulation from falling through an attic access hatch or scuttle opening is provided. Embodiments include four pieces that can be assembled together around the perimeter of hatches of varying sizes. Two of the pieces may be male pieces and two may be female pieces. Each piece may have a securing tab on its bottom end to attach each piece to joists that define the hatch opening. A kit comprising the barrier pieces may be utilized by homeowners, contractors or insulation installers for quick and easy installation of the containment dam. | 02-16-2012 |
20120186179 | Systems and Methods for Insulating Attic Openings - A cover for closing an access opening that leads to an infrequently used space within a building, such as an attic, that generally provides an air seal, thermal insulation and/or acoustic insulation at the access opening. The cover may be in one or two portions, including a closure alone or a closure and a frame having an aperture that can be closed by engagement between the closure and the frame. When the cover is used alone it engages a frame or a wall circumscribing the access opening. The cover is sized and shaped to close a stairwell, or the opening at one end of a stairway, an opening in a generally vertical wall, a hatch, or a pull down ladder. The closure and frame are each made of one or more components. | 07-26-2012 |
20130118106 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR THERMAL BARRIER INSTALLATION - An insulation system including a first retention member having a first channel, a second retention member having a second channel, and a thermal bridge. The thermal bridge includes a first finger and a second finger. The first finger is received into the first channel and the second finger is received into the second channel. The system further includes a first locking tab associated with the first channel for securing the first finger and a second locking tab associated with the second channel for securing the second finger. The thermal bridge substantially reduces conductive heat transfer between the first retention member and the second retention member. | 05-16-2013 |

20140137498 | Systems and Methods for Insulating Attic Openings - A cover for closing an access opening that leads to an infrequently used space within a building, such as an attic, that generally provides an air seal, thermal insulation and/or acoustic insulation at the access opening. The cover may be in one or two portions, including a closure alone or a closure and a frame having an aperture that can be closed by engagement between the closure and the frame. When the cover is used alone it engages a frame or a wall circumscribing the access opening. The cover is sized and shaped to close a stairwell, or the opening at one end of a stairway, an opening in a generally vertical wall, a hatch, or a pull down ladder. The closure and frame are each made of one or more components. | 05-22-2014 |
20150308113 | BLOCK AND FOAM WALL SYSTEM - A wall system having high vertical and lateral stability as well as vertical loading capacity is disclosed. The wall system includes blocks formed from two opposing plates. The plates have a spacer holding the plates at a predetermined distance from one another. Each plate includes tongues and grooves for fitting together with adjacent blocks in the wall system when the blocks are stacked with one another. Once the blocks are stacked, the space between the opposing plates of the blocks is filled with an spray insulation to lock the blocks in place. | 10-29-2015 |
20160115690 | AN INSULATING WALL, A COLUMN ASSEMBLY THEREFORE AND A METHOD OF CONSTRUCTING SUCH AN INSULATING WALL - The present invention concerns a columns assembly for an insulating wall of a building structure, said column having a side surfaces adapted to receive and retain insulation panels of the insulating wall, said column assembly comprising an inner spacer element made of mineral wool fibres, a central element made of mineral wool fibres, an outer spacer element made of mineral wool fibres, wherein the spacer elements are assembled with first and second intermediate profiles between the spacer elements, and wherein the density of the mineral wool in the central element is higher than the density in the inner and outer spacer elements. The invention also concerns an insulating wall assembly of a building structure with such a column assembly and a method of constructing such insulating wall. | 04-28-2016 |
