Benefits of technology

[0016] Accordingly, one aspect of the present invention is to provide an improved, pourable insulation material system. The system may include: (a) an insulation component, and (b) a compression package, wherein the packed insulation density is about equal to the installed insulation density.
[0017] Another aspect of the present invention is to provide an improved, pourable insulation material system. The system may include: (a) an insulation component further including an expansion ratio modifying agent, and (b)

Problems solved by technology

However, since one-half of all insulation sales are for jobs covering only up to 200 square feet, it can be costly to rent or buy a blower.
Further, many blowers are bulky and difficult for a do-it-yourselfer to opera

Embodiment Construction

[0023] In the following description, like reference characters designate like or corresponding parts throughout the several views. Also in the following description, it is to be understood that such terms as “forward,”“rearward,”“left,”“right,”“upwardly,”“downwardly,” and the like are words of convenience and are not to be construed as limiting terms.

[0024] Referring now to the drawings in general and FIG. 1 in particular, it will be understood that the illustrations are for the purpose of describing a preferred embodiment of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention thereto.

[0025] As best seen in FIG. 1, an improved pourable insulation material system 10 is shown. The system includes an insulation component 12 and a compression package 14. The density of the packed insulation is at least about equal to the insulation density after installation 16.

[0026] Generally, the insulation component 12 is selected from the group consisting of fibrous material, granular mate...

Abstract

An improved insulation system. The improved insulation system includes: an insulation component further including an expansion ratio modifying agent, a compression package, wherein the packed insulation density is greater than the installed insulation density, and a secondary container for receiving the compression package.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] (1) Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates generally to loose fill insulation, and more specifically to a pourable loose fill insulation that may be installed by pouring the insulation into the area to be insulated without blowing. [0003] (2) Description of the Prior Art [0004] Generally, to install loose fill insulation, it is necessary to use a blower. Insulation is often compacted during packaging and shipment so as to reduce shipping costs, thereby requiring a blower to install the insulation. However, since one-half of all insulation sales are for jobs covering only up to 200 square feet, it can be costly to rent or buy a blower. Further, many blowers are bulky and difficult for a do-it-yourselfer to operate. Thus, for small insulation installations especially, blowing insulation is often impractical. [0005] Further, though rolls of insulation are available, rolling out insulation can be more difficult than would first app...
