Abstract
Abstract A structural building panel in which there is a core consisting of two sets of strips which cross each other and a pair of skins on either side of the core, with the scale of the cells being between a minimum of 12 inches square with 3/8 inch webs and a maximum of a depth of 12 inches before buckling occurs in the webs so that for a skin thickness of 3/8 inch, a cell width of 21 inches is possible before buckling occurs in the skin, the webs and skins being selected from plywood, veneer board, particle board and fiber reinforced cementitious materials. The webs are preferably bonded one to the other at junctions thereof. The panels are preferably joined to each other by trapezoidal grooves in which a shaped member is fixed.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
229 words
A structural building panel serving for the whole floor or roof of at least one room, comprising a pair of continuous skins and a core, said skins including a plurality of sheets of suitable material bonded edge to edge, said core including a plurality of strips of suitable material positioned such that the edges of each strip are fixed one to each skin, said strips being arranged in two sets, with each strip in each set being substantially parallel with each other and each set being arranged to lie at a suitable angle to the other set, the strips of each set having a notch extending to one-half the depth of the strip at the points of intersection with the strips of the other set, the weakness of the panel due to said notches being overcome by spacing the strips in each set relative to the depth of each strip at a minimum ratio of 2:1, the weakness of the panel due to the tendency of the strips to buckle being overcome by spacing the strips in each set relative to the thickness of each strip at a maximum ratio of 60:1, and the weakness of the panel due to the tendency of the skin to buckle being overcome by spacing the strips in each set relative to the thickness of the skin at a maximum ratio of 60:1.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
229 words
A structural building panel serving for the whole floor or roof of at least one room, comprising a pair of continuous skins and a core, said skins including a plurality of sheets of suitable material bonded edge to edge, said core including a plurality of strips of suitable material positioned such that the edges of each strip are fixed one to each skin, said strips being arranged in two sets, with each strip in each set being substantially parallel with each other and each set being arranged to lie at a suitable angle to the other set, the strips of each set having a notch extending to one-half the depth of the strip at the points of intersection with the strips of the other set, the weakness of the panel due to said notches being overcome by spacing the strips in each set relative to the depth of each strip at a minimum ratio of 2:1, the weakness of the panel due to the tendency of the strips to buckle being overcome by spacing the strips in each set relative to the thickness of each strip at a maximum ratio of 60:1, and the weakness of the panel due to the tendency of the skin to buckle being overcome by spacing the strips in each set relative to the thickness of the skin at a maximum ratio of 60:1.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
90 words
The structural building panel as claimed in claim 1 having side and end frame members and internal reinforcing members, in which the loads are transferred from the side and end frame members to support points inset from the side and end frame members by means of the internal reinforcing members disposed on either side of any one strip coincident with any said support point and extending therefrom transversely to the side and end frame members, and in which any said bisecting member may be viewed as an internal reinforcing member.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
47 words
The structural building panel as claimed in claim 1, in which said strips are plywood strips composed of an unequal number of veneers, and being so disposed that the outer veneers in each said strip have their grain parallel with the skin to which it is fixed.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
18 words
The structural building panel as claimed in claim 1, in which the intersections between intersecting strips are bonded.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
21 words
The structural building panel as claimed in claim 1, in which said core and skins are of fiber reinforced cementitious materials.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
24 words
The structural building panel as claimed in claim 1, in which said skins comprise sheets of fiber reinforced cementitious material bonded to said core.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
71 words
The structural panel as claimed in claim 1, in which said panel is provided with side and end frame members, and with the ratio of the longer side to the shorter side of said panel being greater than 1:1, said panel being provided with bisecting frame members to divide the core member into two core members having a ratio of the longer to the shorter side of not more than 3:2.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
42 words
The structural building panel as claimed in claim 7, in which said side and end members are profiles of suitable thickness composed of fiber reinforced cementitious materials, and at least some of which have a trapezoidal groove longitudinal of the outer faces.
