Benefits of technology
"The invention is a wall panel system that allows for the erection of dry wall without the use of conventional dry wall tape. The system includes reinforced wall panels and a backing strip made of the same material. The edges of the panels are secured to the backing strip with fasteners, and an adhesive filler compound is used to bond the panel edges to each other and the backing strip. The system also eliminates stresses caused by the drying of the studs and ensures that the joints remain secure. Overall, the invention provides a more stable and reliable method for erecting dry wall."
Problems solved by technology
It is well known that as the studs age and dry out, the panel joints tend to become exposed.
It is also well known that this standard practice produces a wall surface which is uneven, in many cases.
Unless this extra filler material is feathered out with skill, it will result in thickening of the wall surface along each joint.

Embodiment Construction
[0025]The invention as illustrated will be seen to show a wall structure (10, having framing formed by a series of studs (12), located at spaced intervals. These intervals may or may not be the 16 inch intervals usual in conventional wall framing.
[0026]Wall board panels (14), partly cut away, are shown secured to the studs (12), by screws (16). The screws are seen to be located away from the edges of the panels, and are located along lines wherever the studs are placed.
[0027]The wall board panels are formed of a reinforced panel material. The reinforcement is typically a mesh material such are fibre reinforced cloth mesh, shown as (30).
[0028]One form of such material is sold under the trade name Magnesiacore (trade mark).
[0029]Edges (18) of panels (14) are shown joined to one another.
[0030]The joints are located in the spaces or gaps between two adjacent studs (12).
[0031]The panel edges (18) are shown secured to a backing strip (20). The strip is made of the same reinforced board ma...

A wall panel system for forming a wall surface on wall framing studs, and having wall panels arranged with edges of adjacent panels located in spaces between two adjacent studs, a backing strip of wall panel material located in the space between two adjacent studs, behind the edges of the two adjacent panels, fastenings securing the edges of the two adjacent panels to the backing strip, a gap between the two panel edges, and an adhesive filler bonding compound filling the gap and bonding the panel edges to one another, and further bonding the panel edges to the backing strip. Also disclosed is a method of erecting a drywall consisting of attaching a backing strip to the back of a first panel, attaching that first panel to the studs, fastening another backing strip along a free edge of a second panel, erecting that second panel in edge abutting relation with the first and overlapping the backing strip on the first panel, and, fastening the second panel along the backing strip of the first panel and fastening the second panel to the studs.
Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The invention relates to wall panels, and to a system of erecting wall panels, with joints between panels formed in spaces between studs. In particular the joints are formed with backing strips of wall board material, providing joints which are made free of the studs.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Erection of wallboard, such as gypsum wall board panels, has involved supporting four foot wide panels on studs located at 16 inch centres apart, in the usual wall framing. This located the two edges of the panels overlying one half a stud, at each side. The edge of the panel was fastened to the stud. The stud is 1.75 inches wide. Thus the edge of a panel was secured to half the stud width, ie about 0.85 inches more or less. This was in an ideal case. If there was any inaccuracy in placing the panels, the overlap might even be less. The edges of two adjacent panels had to be butted up close against each other, to ensure adequate fastening to the same stud.[000...
