Abstract
Abstract A construction block having protruding flanged arms positioned on one side shaped so as to hold flexible radiant energy reflectors. The block arms are angled so that the radiant energy reflectors overlap. A corner block provides for the proper mating with either half of the normal construction block.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
204 words
The combination of a plurality of solid wall members and at least one flat resilient reflecting panel for forming an insulated wall comprising, joining means, said plurality of solid wall members each of which includes a generally flat unbroken first surface, and a second surface spaced from said first surface with at least one projecting arm having a flanged distal end, the distance between said first surface and said second surface being relatively thin with respect to the width of said member, said members connected to one another by said joining means to form a wall, the first surface of each member in the wall lies generally in the same plane, said second surface providing at least one unobstructed first channel lying between and formed by said projecting flanged arms, said flanged arms positioned in a spaced apart relation to provide access to said channel, and each said flat resilient reflecting panel having a width greater than the width of the channel and having a length equal to the length of the channel across a plurality of said wall members, and said panel connected to and between adjacent projecting flanged arms of the channel and positioned from said second surface, said panel is resilient.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
204 words
The combination of a plurality of solid wall members and at least one flat resilient reflecting panel for forming an insulated wall comprising, joining means, said plurality of solid wall members each of which includes a generally flat unbroken first surface, and a second surface spaced from said first surface with at least one projecting arm having a flanged distal end, the distance between said first surface and said second surface being relatively thin with respect to the width of said member, said members connected to one another by said joining means to form a wall, the first surface of each member in the wall lies generally in the same plane, said second surface providing at least one unobstructed first channel lying between and formed by said projecting flanged arms, said flanged arms positioned in a spaced apart relation to provide access to said channel, and each said flat resilient reflecting panel having a width greater than the width of the channel and having a length equal to the length of the channel across a plurality of said wall members, and said panel connected to and between adjacent projecting flanged arms of the channel and positioned from said second surface, said panel is resilient.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
42 words
The combination of a plurality of solid wall members and at least one flat resilient heat reflecting panel for forming an insulated wall as set forth in claim 1 wherein: the height of said projecting arms equals the height of said member.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
51 words
The combination of a plurality of solid wall members and at least one flat resilient heat reflecting panel for forming an insulated wall as set forth in claim 2 wherein: each said member includes a plurality of said arms projecting obliquely with the end flanges projecting back rearwardly over said arms.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
180 words
The combination of a plurality of solid wall members and at least one flat resilient heat reflecting panel for forming an insulated wall as set forth in claim 3 including: a second channel positioned adjacent said first channel in a side-by-side relation, said two channels comprising a plurality of joined wall members with at least three projecting arms forming said two channels, each adjacent arm projects obliquely outwardly toward an opposite siDe of said member, two adjacent arms projecting toward each other including flanges project toward one another to define a first channel therebetween, and the third arm projecting obliquely away from the adjacent arm that forms part of said first channel and defines a second channel therebetween, said first panel lies across the first channel with its sides in contact with joints lying between the arms and the flanges, and a second panel lies across the second channel with its sides in contact with the joints between the arms and the main body portion, and the first and second panels lie along the entire longitudinal length of the channels.
