Embodiment Construction

[0013]With reference now to the drawings, and particularly to FIG. 1, there is shown a perspective view of an insulated concrete wall 1 with an insulation sheet attached to at least one side thereof. With reference to FIG. 2, the insulated concrete wall 1 includes a first form board 10, a second form board 12, a plurality of spacers 14, a plurality of horizontal rebar rods 18, a plurality of vertical rebar rods 20, a quantity of poured concrete 23 and at least one insulation sheet 25. The form boards 10, 12 are preferably James Hardie fiber cement boards, but other suitable form boards may also be used. Each spacer 14 includes at least one vertical passage 22 for receiving the vertical rebar rod 20 and a horizontal passage (not shown) for receiving the horizontal rebar rod 18. Each spacer 14 is preferably fabricated from a 100% recycled plastic material, but other materials may also be used.

[0014]A first side of the plurality of spacers 14 are attached to an inside surface of the fi...

Abstract

An insulated concrete wall includes a first form board, a second form board, a plurality of spacers, a plurality of rebar rods, a quantity of poured concrete and at least one insulation sheet. Each spacer includes at least one vertical passage for receiving a vertical rebar rod and a horizontal passage for receiving a horizontal rebar rod. The plurality of spacers are attached between the first and second form boards to create a concrete cavity. The quantity of concrete is poured into the cavity. The sheet of insulation may be attached to one or both form boards. The at least one insulated sheet may be replaced by an additional form board and the plurality of spacers. The additional form board would create an additional cavity, which would be filled with an insulation material. Alternatively, the two outer cavities may be filled with concrete and the center cavity filled with insulation.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates generally to concrete walls and more specifically to an insulated concrete wall, which includes at least one layer of insulation.[0003]2. Discussion of the Prior Art[0004]Philippines utility model registration no. 2-2009-000170 to Taylor discloses a plastic wall stud spacer. Philippines design patent registration no. 3-2009-000287 to Taylor discloses a plastic wall stud spacer. Both the Taylor utility model no. 2-2009-000170 and the Taylor design patent registration no. 3-2009-000287 are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety. However, the Taylor documents do not teach or suggest concrete walls with at least one layer of insulation or multiple concrete sections.[0005]Accordingly, there is a clearly felt need in the art for insulated concrete walls, which include at least one layer of insulation multiple concrete sections.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION[0006]The present invention provid...
