PREFABRICATED BUILDING Filed NOV. 1, 1957 Patented Sept. 27, 1938 UNITED 455? PREFABRICATEI! BUILDING Aus in rm sand ng, 1- a a 3 Application November 1, 1937, Serial Not 172,211
13 Claim My inventiq relates to prefabricated buildings.
It has heretofore been proposed to heat insulate and eliminate condensation on the inner walls, of such houses of the type having a metallic through connected wall frame, and having wall panels in said frame covered bya cementitious material ,on opposite wall iaces, by covering the surfaces of the through connected metal parts with insulating'materialSuch, for example, ascgmpres- 1 0 sible and absorbent felt or the like disposed betweenthe metal frame and the anchoringcmeans for the cementitious material. However, I have found that absorbent and compressible insulating material doeslnot maintain its good heat insulat- 5 ing qualities uniformly under all conditions, and tests have shown definite losses of these qualities when such material is wetor severely compressed or when puncturedby abrasion;
Myinvention hasamqng its objects to provide 20 improved means for heat insulating such buildings, and, more particularly, such improved rnelans especially adapted to use with such insulating materials. vA further object of my invention is to provide improved means for maintaining the felt,
25 ,or other insulating material, .dry, while also maintaining the same free from severe compression or punctures by abrasion, A still further object of my invention is to provide such improved means adapted to be readily and inexpensively em- 30 bodied in the, walllstructure in the process of erection, andtwhereby, whilejeiiectivelyinsulatin the fwall and removing anydaneer of condensation on theinsid walls, 1am also able tomaintain fth'' insulating material-in good heat insulating 35' condition for an indefinite period after the walls have been g coatedfwith .cementitiousmaterial.
'f'These'and other objects and advantages of my improved ,construction will, however, hereinafter Qmore fully appear.
40 In the accompanying drawing, I have'zshown ,for. purposes of illustratiomnthree embodiments which myinventionmayassume in practice.
In the drawing i Figure 1 is a perspective .viewof aportion of a 45' ;wall,equipped with one form of myimprovement,

o this form jof Qmy invention applied, to an interme- 50 ,diate'stud;
i Fig. 3 is alsimilar ,viewshowing the same applied to a corner stud;
;F ji g. -4 :is a-.transverse sectional view showing a 55 termediate stud, and
Fig. 5 is a like .view of a further modified construction. i
In the illustrative construction shown in Figures 1 to 3, the wall,as heretofore, includes a bot-- tom channel silll carried on a suitable foundation 5 2 and also a' top-channel plate 3, the edges ofpanels 4 of fibrous heat insulating material, herein carrying suitable anchoring-material spacing rods 5 being received in the channels I and 3"and "in intermediate channel studs 6 and corner channel 10 studs 1 in a well known manner; thethrough connected metal frame'members 3,"6' and 1' being coveredon their opposite faces with insulating material in the form" of strips fl of felt or the like, disposed between opposite "faces' ofthes'e metal members and the anchoring material, h'ereinir'e-ex ticulated wire or mesh a'spaced by' the ro'ds'l5 and acting to clinch the stucco Jill and plaster -II to theoppo'site faces of the walls In this-form of" my impr'oved construction, ,I 2 provide over each outer felt strip 8, a protecting coating adapted to prevent the entry of water and alse to resist compression or abrasion of the underlyingfeltl Herein, this coating islinthe form of a'slightly wider'stri'p -l2..of paper, an ordinary waterproof building paper of heavy chara cter be-;,;, ing preferredthis paper-being attached in asuit- 'ap' l mannera's-by tacking it to the panel or by' adhesively'oonnectingitthereto or to the felt. .How-
evertit will be understood that if desired I may use a coating of so-called aluminum foil or 'like "equivalent insulating material "applied directly t'o the-felt, o'r sofcallediinetallation on paper, at-
- taclie'd as'above 'clescribed; In practice, however,
it is found that the results obtainable with the ordin ry bu'ilding'pape'r described, are such as to;,,-=,
' make unwarranted the additional expensive invlved in such'foil or'other'special coatings or I coverings. shown'in Figurfe'5, it will'also be n tdIthat rmay, under certain conditions, where 40 desired, also p'roviiile'an additional strip I3, cor-r 1 responding-to the strip [2} but similar-1y located over the inside felt strips 8, although in practice,
is here also folind that'the re s lilt's obtained by 'using 'a sihgle'outside's'tripare such as o rdinarily tdinirke the use'ofsuch an inside'strip unneces-.
H I V V "saryffln Figurei lhave also illustratedafurther .Fig.. =2 is aperspective sectionaliviewishowing side,but such aconstruction is similarly-not preferr t 'A's a result of my improved construction, with a j all 'of-tliethrough' connected metal parts thus covmodified form'of the invention applied to an intreaty felt'and coated or covered in niy: improved manner, it is found that markedly improved and 2 more uniform results are obtained. More particularly, the additional insulating strip formed by the waterproof heavy paper, acts to prevent the underlying felt 8 from being wet by the cementitious material, while the paper continues to perform this function not only during, but after, the cementitious coatings are applied, in such manner as thus effectively to prevent the loss of maximum heat insulating qualities of the felt. At the same time, the heavy paper strips also act to minimize compression of the felt strips, while also acting effectually to prevent the puncturing of the felt by compression. As a result, the life of the felt insulating strips is substantially extended, at the same time that the heat insulating qualities thereof are maintained. Further, it will be evident that where foil is used, the latter will also increase the heat insulating quality of the wall, although with ordinary building paper, it is found that the heat loss is so low as to be negligible.
While I have in this application specifically described three embodiments which my invention may assume in practice, it will be understood that the same have been shown for purposes of illustration, and that the invention may be modified and embodied in various other forms without departing from its spirit or the scope of the appended claims.
