Embodiment Construction

[0013] The preferred embodiment, a rigid foam building panel-generally identified by reference numeral 10, will now be described with reference to FIGS. 1 through 5.

[0014] Structure and Relationship of Parts:

[0015] Referring now to FIG. 1, there is shown a structure 12 formed of rigid foam building panels 10. Rigid foam building panels 10 include a rigid foam body 14 with elongate reinforcing studs 16 and electrical conduits 17. Referring now to FIGS. 2 and 5, rigid foam body 14 has a first face 18, a second face 20, a top edge 22, a bottom edge 24 and opposed side edges 26. There are integrally formed non-planar architectural features 28 on either first face 18 or second face 20. Referring now to FIGS. 1 through 4, non-planar architectural feature 28 may be either a concave curvature 30, a convex curvature 32, or an architectural moulding such as a crown moulding 36, a chair rail 38, a column 40, or a base board moulding 42.

[0016] Referring now to FIG. 5, opposed side edges 26 o...

Abstract

A rigid foam building panel includes a rigid foam body with elongate reinforcing studs. The rigid foam body has a first face, a second face, a top edge, a bottom edge and opposed side edges. Integrally formed non-planar architectural features are positioned on at least one of the first face or the second face.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates to a rigid foam building panel for use in a building system that utilizes panels made from rigid foam, which are reinforced by studs inserts. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] The following patents disclose the use of rigid foam with reinforcing stud inserts: U.S. Pat. No. 4,633,634 (Nemmer et al from 1987), U.S. Pat. No. 5,722,198 (Bader from 1998) and CA U.S. Pat. No. 2,363,216 (Ritchie from 2001). The systems disclosed use parallel-piped panels, which are only suitable for making box-like structures. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0003] What is required is a rigid foam building panel, which will make rigid foam building systems more versatile. [0004] According to the present invention there is provided a rigid foam building panel which includes a rigid foam body with elongate reinforcing studs. The rigid foam body has a first face, a second face, a top edge, a bottom edge and opposed side edges. Integrally formed non-planar ...
