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 operate.
Thus, for small insulation installations especially, blowing insulation is often impractical.
Further, though rolls of insulation are available, rolling out insulation can be more difficult than would first appear.

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...
