Abstract
Abstract ABSTRACT A building wall energy conservation system in which a metal structural member having a face portion and a per-pendicular depending leg portion is used to hold at their joints, adjoining sheets of insulative material adjacent the wall and to provide a face on which finishing mater-ial may be affixed. Adjoining insulative sheets have their joint edges so formed and arranged to provide a contact area, and outwardly of this contact area, a gap of suff-icient depth and width to receive the structural member leg. The face portion contacts at least one of the sheets when positioned and secured to hold the adjoining sheets at their joints adjacent the wall.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 19
Claim 1
Independent Claim
184 words
A joint assembly for adjoining sheets of insulative material which are between a building wall structure and finishing material, said joint assembly comprising a T-shaped in cross-section metal structural member having a face portion with a perpendicular depending leg portion of a depth less than the thickness of said insulative material, opposing edges of said insulative sheets being formed to contact one another along their joint length and to define above said contact a gap extending along said joint length between said sheet edges, said gap opening outwardly and of a depth and width adapted to receive said depending leg along the joint's length where said face portion provides a stop in locating said depending leg between said sheets in said gap, the arrangement being such that in locating and securing said T-shaped member adjacent a building wall, said adjoining sheets of insulative material are held adjacent such wall with said formed edge portions contacting one another beneath said T-shaped member by said face portion contacting both of said sheets along said joint length in presenting its outer surface for affixing finishing material thereto.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
184 words
A joint assembly for adjoining sheets of insulative material which are between a building wall structure and finishing material, said joint assembly comprising a T-shaped in cross-section metal structural member having a face portion with a perpendicular depending leg portion of a depth less than the thickness of said insulative material, opposing edges of said insulative sheets being formed to contact one another along their joint length and to define above said contact a gap extending along said joint length between said sheet edges, said gap opening outwardly and of a depth and width adapted to receive said depending leg along the joint's length where said face portion provides a stop in locating said depending leg between said sheets in said gap, the arrangement being such that in locating and securing said T-shaped member adjacent a building wall, said adjoining sheets of insulative material are held adjacent such wall with said formed edge portions contacting one another beneath said T-shaped member by said face portion contacting both of said sheets along said joint length in presenting its outer surface for affixing finishing material thereto.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
20 words
A joint assembly of claim 1, wherein said formed edges of said insulative material provide a tongue and groove joint.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
18 words
A joint assembly of claim 1, wherein said formed edges of said insulative material provide a shiplap joint.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
30 words
A joint assembly of claim 1, wherein one of said formed edges of said insulative material is planar, the other is recessed to provide said gap between such opposing edges.
Claim 6
Independent Claim
124 words
A method of insulating and applying finishing material to building wall comprising positioning two sheets of insulative material adjacent such wall, the sheets having their opposing edges formed to contact one another along their joint length and to provide a gap above said contact opening outwardly from such contact area, positioning a T-shaped in cross-section metal member extending the length of said joint with its face portion overlapping both of said sheets along their joint and with its perpendicular depending leg portion in said sap where said leg's depth is less than the depth of said gap, securing said metal member to hold such insulative sheets at their joint adjacent such wall, and affixing fini-shing material to said face portion of said metal member.
Claim 7
Independent Claim
124 words
A method of insulating and applying finishing material to building wall comprising positioning two sheets of insulative material adjacent such wall, the sheets having their opposing edges formed to contact one another along their joint length and to provide a gap above said contact opening outwardly from such contact area, positioning a T-shaped in cross-section metal member extending the length of said joint with its face portion overlapping both of said sheets along their joint and with its perpendicular depending leg portion in said sap where said leg's depth is less than the depth of said gap, securing said metal member to hold such insulative sheets at their joint adjacent such wall, and affixing fini-shing material to said face portion of said metal member.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
22 words
A method of claim 5, wherein said step of securing said member includes fastening said member at its ends to supporting structure.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
37 words
A method of claim 5, wherein said step of securing said member is accomplished by fastening said member to such building wall by using fasteners extending through the member's face portion, insulative sheet and into such wall.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
61 words
A method of claim 6, further including securing track to building floor and ceiling and spaced from such wall, securing said member at its top and bottom to such track, the position of such track being such to locate said face portion at the position for holding said sheets adjacent said wall at their joint, said sheets extending the wall height.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
33 words
A method of claim 5, comprising forming a tongue and groove joint between formed edges of adjacent sheets of insulative material where a gap is provided above contact between said tongue and groove.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
19 words
A method of claim 5, comprising forming a shiplap joint between formed edges of adjacent sheets of insulative material.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
23 words
A method of claim 5, comprising kerfing an edge of one of said sheets to provide said gap between abutting opposing sheet edges.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
130 words
In combination, sheets of expanded foam insulation, strapping of a T-shaped configuration in cross-section used for securing the sheets of expanded foam insulation material to a concrete wall, of a building structure, the strapping having an upper flange of predetermined width and a spine extending away from the flange a predetermined distance less than the thickness of the sheets of expanded foam insulation, from a position intermediate the side edges of the flange defining its width for the purpose of strenghtening the flange, and fastening means for driving through the upper flange of the T-shaped strapping through the insulation into the concrete wall, the edges of the sheets of insulation being rabbeted to provide spine receiving recesses therein to accommodate the spines of the T-strapping used to secure the insulation.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim
130 words
In combination, sheets of expanded foam insulation, strapping of a T-shaped configuration in cross-section used for securing the sheets of expanded foam insulation material to a concrete wall, of a building structure, the strapping having an upper flange of predetermined width and a spine extending away from the flange a predetermined distance less than the thickness of the sheets of expanded foam insulation, from a position intermediate the side edges of the flange defining its width for the purpose of strenghtening the flange, and fastening means for driving through the upper flange of the T-shaped strapping through the insulation into the concrete wall, the edges of the sheets of insulation being rabbeted to provide spine receiving recesses therein to accommodate the spines of the T-strapping used to secure the insulation.
