Abstract
Abstract The present invention relates to wall structure and components thereof and manufacturing methods therefor and, more particularly, in view of present energy crisis considerations, to a structural assembly comprising a plurality of individual components interconnected to form an integrated unitary structure of desired configuration such as but not limited to parabolic and/or other curved surfaces forming troughs, saucers, domes, flat wall structures and/or combinations thereof, some of which have particular utility in connection with reception and collection of various kinds of radiant energy including solar energy, without requiring or utilizing a pre-erected frame structure.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
164 words
A structural component for use in erecting a frameless structure comprising a panel formed of a cement material and having a pair of opposed surfaces with a peripheral edge portion extending between said surfaces, reinforcing mesh members extending through said panel and disposed closely adjacent each of said surfaces, a separator member disposed between said reinforcing members and extending along said peripheral edge portion, a truss-like member interconnected to and between said reinforcing mesh members at a location between said edge portion and said separator member and extending along the extent of and adjacent said edge portion, and walls extending between said edge portion and said separator member and defining therewith a channel disposed between said opposed surfaces and extending along said peripheral edge, said reinforcing mesh members each having curved distal ends disposed between said channel-defining walls and projecting outwardly from said separator member and beyond said peripheral edge for connection to another member when said latter member is disposed in said channel.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
164 words
A structural component for use in erecting a frameless structure comprising a panel formed of a cement material and having a pair of opposed surfaces with a peripheral edge portion extending between said surfaces, reinforcing mesh members extending through said panel and disposed closely adjacent each of said surfaces, a separator member disposed between said reinforcing members and extending along said peripheral edge portion, a truss-like member interconnected to and between said reinforcing mesh members at a location between said edge portion and said separator member and extending along the extent of and adjacent said edge portion, and walls extending between said edge portion and said separator member and defining therewith a channel disposed between said opposed surfaces and extending along said peripheral edge, said reinforcing mesh members each having curved distal ends disposed between said channel-defining walls and projecting outwardly from said separator member and beyond said peripheral edge for connection to another member when said latter member is disposed in said channel.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
25 words
An article according to claim 1 and additionally including means connected to said panel adjacent said edge and subjecting said reinforcing members to tensile stress.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
60 words
Structure comprising at least two components each according to claim 1, said components being disposed with their respective peripheral edge portions in abutting relationship, and additionally including a load-bearing member formed of cement material disposed within each of the respective channel portions extending along said abutting edge portions and interconnected between said two components to form a unitary monolithic entity.
