Abstract
Abstract A double wall fabric panel unit for use as a wall section in the construction of inflatable buildings comprising an elongated exterior fabric envelope panel having a plastic coating on each side, and an elongated thermal liner panel having side edge strips heat-sealed to the exterior panel. The thermal liner has a foil layer facing the exterior panel and a white plastic layer on the opposite side. The side edge strips are periodically interrupted to provide air passageways to vent air from between the panels when the unit is rolled.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
118 words
A double-wall fabric panel unit having interior and exterior sides for use as wall sections in the construction of inflatable buildings, comprising, in combination, a first elongated panel of fabric having a plastic coating on the interior side thereof, and an elongated thermal liner panel having an edge strip extending along each side edge thereof attached to the plastic coating of said first panel, said thermal liner panel having a reflective metallic surface facing said first panel, each of said side edge strips beind discontinuous at intervals along the length of said liner panel to provide a plurality of spaced unobstructed air passageways to the atmosphere to vent air from between said panels when said unit is rolled.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
118 words
A double-wall fabric panel unit having interior and exterior sides for use as wall sections in the construction of inflatable buildings, comprising, in combination, a first elongated panel of fabric having a plastic coating on the interior side thereof, and an elongated thermal liner panel having an edge strip extending along each side edge thereof attached to the plastic coating of said first panel, said thermal liner panel having a reflective metallic surface facing said first panel, each of said side edge strips beind discontinuous at intervals along the length of said liner panel to provide a plurality of spaced unobstructed air passageways to the atmosphere to vent air from between said panels when said unit is rolled.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
24 words
A panel unit according to claim 1, wherein said side edge strips have plastic surfaces heat-sealed to the plastic coating of said first panel.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
53 words
A panel unit according to claim 2, wherein said first panel has a plastic coating on each side thereof and is wider than said liner panel to provide an edge portion along each edge of said liner panel, whereby said edge portions of adjacent panel units are adapted to be overlapped and heat-sealed.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
