AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a system for insulating and preventing displacement of an insulating blanket in a building with a flexible fabric roof that would otherwise occur in response to wind and other external forces. The system includes a steel framed structure, a flexible fabric roof, lower chords of roof trusses, anti-billowing anti-displacement means, insulating battings, steel bands, holes in the steel bands, and locking washers. The technical effect is to prevent displacement of the insulation blanket and to provide better insulation for the building.

Problems solved by technology

When wind moves across the building, it creates a billowing action that can move or shift the insulation system, and possibly displace or dislodge the individual battings if they are not fixed in place.

Embodiment Construction

[0028]The invention provides a system and a method for insulating a building having a flexible fabric roof and for preventing displacement of an insulating blanket of battings inside the building which displacement would otherwise occur in response to wind creating a billowing action of the flexible fabric roof.

[0029]The building with the flexible fabric roof is somewhat similar to a tent which is exposed to wind and other external forces.

[0030]The invention provides anti-billowing anti-displacement means for preventing movement and displacement of an insulating blanket of battings inside the building which would otherwise occur in response to wind and other external forces moving said outer flexible fabric roof.

[0031]With reference to FIGS. 1-6, there is shown the sequence of installing a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

[0032]FIG. 1 shows a side elevational view, partly in section, of a steel band 10 contiguous with a lower chord 11 of a truss in accordance with first...

Abstract

A system and a method for insulating a building having a flexible fabric roof and for preventing displacement of an insulating blanket of battings inside the building that displacement would otherwise occur in response to wind creating a billowing action of the flexible fabric roof. Anti-billowing anti-displacement means prevent movement and displacement of an insulating blanket of battings inside the building that would otherwise occur in response to wind and other external forces moving the outer flexible fabric roof.

Description

[0001]The present application claims priority from and is a continuation-in-part of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 12 / 514,313 filed May 10, 2009.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates generally to a novel and unique insulation system, and methods of constructing and utilizing same.[0003]More particularly, the present invention relates to a system and method for insulating a building having a flexible fabric roof and for preventing displacement of an insulating blanket of battings inside the building which displacement would otherwise occur in response to wind creating a billowing action of the flexible fabric roof[0004]Frequently, it is necessary to insulate or further insulate a steel framed structure that is covered on the outside with a flexible fabric stretched over the framework and tensioned. The initially-installed insulation lays at the top side of the lower chord of a truss in most cases. When wind moves across the building, it creates a billowing ...
