Abstract
Abstract A low-cost, high quality structural building system of interlocking hollow components which fulfill the structural and decorative requirements of both the interior and exterior surfaces of walls, or both surfaces of interior partitions, floors, ceilings, and rooves if desired, with windows and doors being interlockable therein, the components collectively enclosing the skeletal structural supports which complement these components, and to which these components are anchored.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
146 words
A partition of a building structure comprising: a skeletal framework and a plurality of elongated interfitted structural elements, each such element being formed of a pair of spaced, parallel panels having a height, a length, and a predetermined spacing therebetween, and being interconnected by spaced metal plates therebetween transverse to said panels, and having flanges transverse to said plates embedded in said panels; said plurality of elements including special edge elements; said skeletal framework including spaced parallel struts having a width greater than their thickness, said panels of said edge elements being spaced sufficiently to receive said strut width therebetween; said edge elements having plates of a plate length less than the height of said panels by an amount at least the thickness of said struts to enable said edge elements to each receive a strut therein; and said edge elements being anchored to said struts.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
146 words
A partition of a building structure comprising: a skeletal framework and a plurality of elongated interfitted structural elements, each such element being formed of a pair of spaced, parallel panels having a height, a length, and a predetermined spacing therebetween, and being interconnected by spaced metal plates therebetween transverse to said panels, and having flanges transverse to said plates embedded in said panels; said plurality of elements including special edge elements; said skeletal framework including spaced parallel struts having a width greater than their thickness, said panels of said edge elements being spaced sufficiently to receive said strut width therebetween; said edge elements having plates of a plate length less than the height of said panels by an amount at least the thickness of said struts to enable said edge elements to each receive a strut therein; and said edge elements being anchored to said struts.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
38 words
The partition in claim 1 wherein said skeletal framework includes second struts normal to said struts received by said edge elements; and said structural elements collectively receiving said second struts between the panels thereof and being secured thereto.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
15 words
The partition in claim 1 wherein said panels of said elements have finished exterior surfaces.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
164 words
A pair of integral load-bearing partitions of a building structure comprising: skeletal framework and a plurality of elongated interfitted structural elements interlocked therewith; said framework including first, second, and third strut means extending from a common corner in three dimensions normal to each other; said structural elements being in two groups, each group forming one of the structural load-bearing partitions; each of said groups being anchored to two of said strut means and one of said strut means being common to both groups; said structural elements each being formed of a pair of spaced parallel panels interconnected by spaced rigid metal plates therebetween transverse to said panels and having flanges transverse to said plates and embedded in said panels; the edgemost ones of said structural elements in each group having plates of a length substantially less than the width of said panels to receive and envelope said strut means between said panels; and elements in both of said groups enveloping said one strut means.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
164 words
A pair of integral load-bearing partitions of a building structure comprising: skeletal framework and a plurality of elongated interfitted structural elements interlocked therewith; said framework including first, second, and third strut means extending from a common corner in three dimensions normal to each other; said structural elements being in two groups, each group forming one of the structural load-bearing partitions; each of said groups being anchored to two of said strut means and one of said strut means being common to both groups; said structural elements each being formed of a pair of spaced parallel panels interconnected by spaced rigid metal plates therebetween transverse to said panels and having flanges transverse to said plates and embedded in said panels; the edgemost ones of said structural elements in each group having plates of a length substantially less than the width of said panels to receive and envelope said strut means between said panels; and elements in both of said groups enveloping said one strut means.
