AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent is about a building system that uses connecting plates to create a continuous facade across different panels. These plates also help to make the building resistant to cygrees and wind. The system also includes a mechanism to connect the top plate to the floor, which is important for ensuring structural stability. Overall, the system provides a secure and durable building that can withstand various weather conditions.

Problems solved by technology

Traditional brick and concrete blocks are energy intensive to manufacture.
Constructing a building using bricks or blocks is also time consuming and labour intensive, requiring brick layers to lay the bricks / blocks using mortar.
However, such butt joints, especially at corners of walls lack strength and rigidity.

Embodiment Construction

[0051]FIGS. 1a through 8b show alternative building panels according to embodiments of the present invention.

[0052]FIGS. 1a and 1b show a building panel 10 with first 12 and second 14 facing sheets of a compressed, solid cement based material. Other materials, such as a gypsum based material, can be used. The core 16 is of expanded polystyrene. The facing sheets are bonded to the core using an adhesive.

[0053]FIGS. 1a and 1b show the recess 26 formed in the core material such that, when the facing sheets are applied, a narrow channel is created. This channel can hide a connecting panel / plate between adjacent panels.

[0054]A slot 18,20 is provided on the opposed side edges of the panel 10. When these slots abut to corresponding slots on adjacent panels, a channel is formed to receive a support member, such as a steel rod extending the length of the panels. Such a support member can be tied to a floor and a top plate to add structural strength and rigidity to a building system incorpora...

Abstract

A wall panel system has at least one panel with face sheets of compressed solid cement or gypsum based material bonded to a foam core. The core has at least one channel extending through the core on an axis along the length of the panel from a predetermined position on a top edge to a bottom edge of the panel. A slot is provided on opposed side / end edges of the core to allow for a strengthening rod to be inserted between adjacent panels. An edge recess extends along one or more edges of the panel between the rear of the face sheet(s) and the core. The recess can receive and discretely hide connecting panel / plate members connecting adjacent panels.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to building panels and a building system using such building panels, such as those used for low cost housing and commercial properties.BACKGROUND TO THE INVENTION[0002]There is a need for low cost structures, such as residential and employee housing as well as commercial and industrial properties.[0003]Traditional brick and concrete blocks are energy intensive to manufacture. Constructing a building using bricks or blocks is also time consuming and labour intensive, requiring brick layers to lay the bricks / blocks using mortar.[0004]Thermal panels are known and can be used as an alternative form of building construction. Thermal panels are typically used for cold stores because of their high thermal insulation properties, but are also used to clad buildings for the same reason.[0005]Thermal panels typically have a sandwich construction of outer sheets of timber, gypsum or anti-corrosion coated steel, bonded either side of a sh...
