Abstract:
The web frame is a bonded assembly of panels and porous blanket layers, separated by an arrangement of isolated spacers. The panels and spacers are covered with a bonding means. A coating covers inner surfaces of the panels and spacers. The porous blanket is compressed and pinned between these panels, by spacers that are arranged as isolated nodes or columns The spacers have sharpened ends that penetrate the blanket and connect with the opposing panel. The web frame assembly provides thermal and sound insulation for buildings and other solid objects. These web frames are lightweight, durable, and permeable. Capillaries and passages throughout the panels and fibres of the blanket allow passage of moisture and air, thereby assisting in the management of condensation within the web frame.
Abstract:
A structural element (10) for forming a panel, with an upper plane (12) and lower plane (14) which are parallel and deformed along their plane at intervals by pods (16) which extrude toward the opposing plane with their internal faces mating to one another.
Abstract:
A cellular structure having a plurality of walls extending along intersecting planes and together providing abutting cells, such walls being connected at their locations of intersection by cruciform sections and formed by flexing portions of a slit web material into planes disposed at angles to the plane of the original web material.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a panel structure, in which structure at least two layer sheets (1,6;12,13;22,23;31,32;41,44,45) are fixed to each other with at least one connection member (2,11,21,33,42,43,46) and the connection member (2,11,21,33,42,43,46) is generated from one of the at least two layer sheets (1,6;12,13;22,23;31,32;41,44,45). At least part of the connection member (2,11,21,33,42,43,46) is diverged from the layer sheets (1,6;12,13;22,23; 31,32;41,44,45) forming at least one opening (8,17,27,35) through the layer sheet (1,6;12,13;22,23;31,32;41,44,45) wherefrom the connection (2,11,21,33, 42,43,46) is generated.
Abstract:
An apparatus for joining a pair of sheets includes mechanisms for cutting patterns of plural partial perforations in the sheets, applying an adhesive material to at least one of the sheets, transporting the partially perforated sheets in spaced relation to one another with the pattern of partial perforations in each sheet being in opposed relation to the pattern of partial perforations in the other of said sheets, and bending the tab areas defined by the partial perforations in said sheets through an angle of substantially 90.degree. to the plane of each sheet and in a direction extending toward the other sheet to cause corresponding pairs of said tabs to come into overlapping, planar engagement with one another in the region between said spaced sheets and to be bonded to one another by the adhesive material.

Abstract:
Two flat panels are joined in spaced relation to one another by partially perforating the panels to define numerous tab areas therein, thereafter bending the tabs from the planes of the panels into the space between the panels, and by attaching said tabs in overlapping relation to one another, thereby to form a board wherein the panels are retained in substantially parallel relation to one another by the overlapping tabs. An increase in the rigidity, tension and compression strength of the board structure is achieved by angular placement of the overlapping tab pairs relative to one another.
Abstract:
1. A structural product comprising: two flat paper board or fiber board panels disposed in spaced parallel planar relation to one another, each of said panels having a plurality of partial perforations therein defining flat tabs each of which is bent about a hinge line constituting the uncut portion of its associated partial perforation, each tab extending in a direction substantially perpendicular to the plane of its panel toward the other of said panels across substantially the entire space between said panels, each of the flat tabs extending from one of said panels being disposed in planar contact with and substantially completely overlapping planar relation to a corresponding tab extending from the other of said panels, said overlapping contacting tabs being attached to one another by adhesive or mechanical interlock to form intermediary members each of which has a thickness at least equal to the combined thicknesses of said two panels, said intermediary members extending at right angles to the planes of each of said panels to retain said parallel panels in fixed position relative to one another.
