Abstract
Abstract Prefabricated building components such as panels, roofing units, and floorlocks and a method and machinery for producing the same. The prefabricated components are obtained by casting in form a mix containing granules of expanded polystyrene or other suitable light thermal and sound insulating material which is bonded to cement by adhesive. Depending upon their particular application, the components may be used for either load bearing or non-load bearing purposes.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
90 words
A prefabricated building panel formed of a mixture comprising light-weight expanded material, adhesive and cement, said panel comprising at least two longitudinally extending upstanding ribs separated by a channel adapted to be filled with concrete, longitudinally extending reinforcing elements disposed on the bottom of said channel, said reinforcing elements comprising means to enable said panel to be lifted after only brief curing, said means including upwardly projecting stirrup members and outwardly projecting appendices, said outwardly projecting appendices penetrating into the material of said longitudinally extending ribs adjacent the bottoms thereof.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
90 words
A prefabricated building panel formed of a mixture comprising light-weight expanded material, adhesive and cement, said panel comprising at least two longitudinally extending upstanding ribs separated by a channel adapted to be filled with concrete, longitudinally extending reinforcing elements disposed on the bottom of said channel, said reinforcing elements comprising means to enable said panel to be lifted after only brief curing, said means including upwardly projecting stirrup members and outwardly projecting appendices, said outwardly projecting appendices penetrating into the material of said longitudinally extending ribs adjacent the bottoms thereof.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
17 words
A panel in accordance with claim 1, wherein said light-weight expanded material comprises granules of expanded polystyrene.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
26 words
A panel in accordance with claim 1, wherein each of said upstanding ribs contains within the interior thereof a longitudinally extending insulating element of expanded polystyrene.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
51 words
A panel in accordance with claim 1, having side walls so shaped to provide at the base thereof a lateral projection adapted to contact, in use, with a corresponding lateral projection of an adjacent panel or with an adjacent wall to provide a chamber thereabove adapted to be filled with concrete.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
73 words
A panel in accordance with claim 1, wherein each of said upstanding ribs is provided with a longitudinally extending groove at the base of said channel so as to form undercuts in said ribs at the bottom of said channel, the lower portion of said channel to a height approximately equal to the top of said grooves being filled with cement or concrete to bury therewithin the lower parts of said reinforcing elements.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
60 words
A panel in accordance with claim 5 having side walls so shaped to provide at the base thereof a lateral projection adapted to contact, in use, with a corresponding lateral projection of an adjacent panel or with an adjacent wall to provide a chamber thereabove adapted to be filled with concrete, said side walls further having longitudinally extending indentations therein.
