| 20090013631 | HIGH STRENGTH COMPOSITE WALL PANEL SYSTEM - A composite wall panel is provided. The composite wall panel comprises a first layer of molded structural material and a second layer of molded structural material. An insulating foam layer is disposed between the first and second molded structural layers. The foam layer includes a first major side in contact with the first layer of molded structural material and a second major side in contact with the second layer of molded structural material. The first and second major sides of the insulating foam layer each have at least one groove. Each groove has at least one groove shoulder. At least one connector is configured to anchor the first and second layers of structural material to the insulating foam layer. The first and second layers of molded structural material extend into the grooves and under the groove shoulders to form a mechanical engagement between the insulating foam layer and the first and second layers of molded structural material. | 01-15-2009 |
| 20100101168 | MOLDED POLYMERIC DRIP EDGE - A drip edge device is disclosed for use with the drainage system of a cavity wall structure. The drip edge device is disposed in the outer wythe, above the shelf angle or lintel, of a cavity wall structure extending the flashing and directing water and water vapor collected within the cavity wall to the weep holes and beyond the exterior surface of the outer wythe. The drip edge further allows for cavity wall ventilation. Removal of the water and the water vapor inhibits staining and material degradation. The drip edge device is a molded polymeric which withstands adverse environmental elements, including ultraviolet radiation. The drip edge device includes a peel-and-stick hot melt adhesive which, upon pressure activation, creates a durable bond with the rough surface of the masonry block or the flashing material. Optionally, a foam layer is placed on the lower surface of the drip edge. | 04-29-2010 |
| 20110047919 | THERMALLY ISOLATED ANCHORING SYSTEM - An anchoring system for cavity walls is disclosed and includes a stud-type wall anchor and veneer tie. The stud is comprised of high-strength, nonconductive thermally-isolating components that maintain the insulation R-values. The stud has a driver head, dual-diameter barrel, and driven tip. A flange at the juncture of the two barrels houses an interior seal; a flange under the driver head, an exterior seal. The smaller diameter barrel is coextensive with the drywall installation; the length of the larger diameter barrel, with the rigid insulation. The interior seal seals the insertion point into the drywall installation; the exterior seal, the opening of the anchor-receiving channel. The interior seal and the larger barrel of the anchor fill the anchor-receiving channel and stabilize the wall anchor. The wall anchor is clamped in place by the seals. The anchor operates with various of veneer ties. | 03-03-2011 |
| 20120304576 | DUAL SEAL TUBULAR ANCHOR FOR CAVITY WALLS - An anchoring system for cavity walls is disclosed. The system includes a stud-type wall anchor and a wire formative veneer tie. The stud has a driver head, a dual-diameter barrel, and a driven tip. A flange at the juncture of the two barrels houses an interior seal; and a flange under the driver head, an exterior seal. The smaller diameter barrel is coextensive with the drywall installation; and the length of the larger diameter barrel, with the rigid insulation. The interior seal seals the insertion point into the drywall installation; and the exterior seal, the opening of the anchor-receiving channel. The interior seal and the larger barrel of the anchor fill the anchor-receiving channel and stabilize the wall anchor. Also, the wall anchor is clamped in place by the seals. The stud-type anchor operates with a variety of veneer ties for different applications. | 12-06-2012 |
| 20140083040 | INSULATED WALL PANEL - The invention is an insulated wall panel system having structural elements that may be used as an exterior façade to a building. The insulated wall panel system provides a finished exterior surface, a structural component, and an insulation factor. The wall panel system may be used in new construction or in existing buildings. The wall panel system has an insulation layer, a middle cement layer, and an outer veneer layer. The outer veneer layer may include brick, stone, tile, or other material as a finished surface. The insulated wall panels may be attached directly to the studs or other structural element of a building. | 03-27-2014 |
| 20140190110 | CONNECTOR FOR SUPPORTING VENEER MEMBERS - A connector for coupling a veneer panel to a back-up comprises a support member comprising a mounting flange adapted for securing the support member to said back-up wall, and first and second support member side walls extending outwardly from the mounting flange. The first and second support member side walls define at least one generally horizontal slot when the support member is secured to the back-up wall. The connector further comprises a veneer connector configured for non-rotational sliding receipt in the generally horizontal slot and adapted to support a generally horizontal edge of said veneer panel when the veneer connector is received in the generally horizontal slot and when the support member is secured to the back-up wall. | 07-10-2014 |
