Benefits of technology

[0003] According to the present invention there is provided a fire resistant panel, which includes a first sheet and a second sheet of non-combustible material positioned in parallel spaced relation to define a sandwich structure with a central cavity. The sandwich structure has a top, a bottom and opposed ends. Cement posts are positioned in spaced relation in the central cavity. The cement posts are in a substantially vertical orientation between the top and the bottom. A cement beam is positioned along the top of the central cavity supported by the cement posts. Rigid foam insulation fills a remainder of the central cavity, and the cement posts and cement beam provide enhanced structural stability to the sandwich structure.

Problems solved by technology

However, even fire resistant panels deteriorate when exposed to fire and will eventually collapse.

Embodiment Construction

[0009] The preferred embodiment, a fire resistant panel generally identified by reference numeral 10, will now be described with reference to FIG. 1 through 4.

[0010] Structure and Relationship of Parts:

[0011] Referring now to FIG. 1, there is shown fire resistant panel 10, including a first sheet 12 and a second sheet 14. Sheets 12 and 14 are made from fire resistant material such as magnesium oxide, calcium silicate or cement, and are positioned in parallel spaced relation to define a sandwich structure 16 with a central cavity 18 that has a top 20, a bottom 22 and opposed ends 24 and 26. Referring to FIG. 3, cement posts 28 made from reinforced concrete are positioned in spaced relation in central cavity 18, with cement posts 28 being in a substantially vertical orientation between top 20 and bottom 22 of central cavity 18. Referring to FIG. 2, a cement beam 30 also made from reinforced concrete is positioned along top 20 of central cavity 18 and is supported by cement posts 28 ...

Abstract

A fire resistant panel includes a first sheet and a second sheet of non-combustible material positioned in parallel spaced relation to define a sandwich structure with a central cavity. The sandwich structure has a top, a bottom and opposed ends. Cement posts are positioned in spaced relation in the central cavity, in a substantially vertical orientation extending between the top and the bottom. A cement beam is positioned along the top of the central cavity, supported by the cement posts. Rigid foam insulation fills a remainder of the central cavity, with the cement posts and cement beam providing enhanced structural stability to the sandwich structure.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates to fire resistant panel with structural inserts, which are adapted to prevent collapse of the panel in the event of a fire. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] Canadian Patent Application 2,498,562 filed Feb. 25, 2005 entitled “Fire resistant rigid foam construction panel,” describes a panel that is highly resistant to fire. However, even fire resistant panels deteriorate when exposed to fire and will eventually collapse. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0003] According to the present invention there is provided a fire resistant panel, which includes a first sheet and a second sheet of non-combustible material positioned in parallel spaced relation to define a sandwich structure with a central cavity. The sandwich structure has a top, a bottom and opposed ends. Cement posts are positioned in spaced relation in the central cavity. The cement posts are in a substantially vertical orientation between the top and the bottom. A cement b...
