Abstract
Abstract Structural panel of gypsum and an envelope, partly impressed therein, of a bonded mineral and/or fiberglass fabric which has on the inside facing the gypsum larger pores than on the outside, the fabric containing at least two kinds of fibers which are cemented together by a bonding agent, where the fibers with the larger diameter are arranged on the inside and the bonding agent contains 30 to 85 percent by weight aluminum, iron and/or silicon hydroxide.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
97 words
A structural panel comprising gypsum within an enclosure of a mineral and/or fiberglass fabric impressed therein, said fabric having larger pores on the inside facing said gypsum and containing at least two kinds of fibers, with fibers on the inside of the fabric facing the gypsum being of relatively larger diameter than the other fibers in the fabric, and said fibers of said fabric being cemented together by a bonding agent containing from about 30 to about 85 percent by weight, referred to the weight of the bonding agent, of a hydroxide of aluminum, iron and/or silicon.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
97 words
A structural panel comprising gypsum within an enclosure of a mineral and/or fiberglass fabric impressed therein, said fabric having larger pores on the inside facing said gypsum and containing at least two kinds of fibers, with fibers on the inside of the fabric facing the gypsum being of relatively larger diameter than the other fibers in the fabric, and said fibers of said fabric being cemented together by a bonding agent containing from about 30 to about 85 percent by weight, referred to the weight of the bonding agent, of a hydroxide of aluminum, iron and/or silicon.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
35 words
A structural panel according to claim 1 wherein the diameter of the largest fibers is from about 10 to 50 μm and corresponds to 1.5 to 5 times the value of the smallest fiber diameter.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
46 words
A structural panel according to claim 1 wherein the length of the fibers increases with increasing diameter and the longest fiber length is from about 5 to 12 mm, and is from about 1.5 to 5 times the value of the length of the shortest fibers.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
33 words
A structural panel according to claim 1 wherein the fibers are mixed together and the content of coarse fibers steadily decreases from the inside facing the gypsum in the direction toward the outside.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
27 words
A structural panel according to claim 1 wherein the content of bonding agent, referred to the weight of the fibers, is from about 50 to 200 percent.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
24 words
A structural panel according to claim 5 wherein the absolute content of bonding agent in the fabric increases in the direction toward the outside.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
18 words
A structural panel according to claim 1 wherein said bonding agent comprises an organic substance having elastic properties.
Claim 9
Independent Claim
145 words
A method for manufacturing a structural panel, comprising: (a) providing a bonded fabric comprised of at least two kinds of mineral and/or fiberglass fibers bonded with a bonding agent containing from about 30 to 85% by weight, referred to said bonding agent, of a hydroxide of aluminum, iron and/or silicon, said fabric having larger pores on a surface thereof and being provided with lateral upright edges in the longitudinal direction; (b) applying a gypsum paste to the side of the fabric having said larger pores; (c) applying to said gypsum a bonded fabric as in step (a), with the surface of said fabric having larger pores facing said gypsum, to form an enclosure of bonded fabric around said gypsum; and (d) heating the surfaces of the so-obtained structural panel for a short time at a temperature of from about 100° C. to about 180° C.
Claim 10
Independent Claim
145 words
A method for manufacturing a structural panel, comprising: (a) providing a bonded fabric comprised of at least two kinds of mineral and/or fiberglass fibers bonded with a bonding agent containing from about 30 to 85% by weight, referred to said bonding agent, of a hydroxide of aluminum, iron and/or silicon, said fabric having larger pores on a surface thereof and being provided with lateral upright edges in the longitudinal direction; (b) applying a gypsum paste to the side of the fabric having said larger pores; (c) applying to said gypsum a bonded fabric as in step (a), with the surface of said fabric having larger pores facing said gypsum, to form an enclosure of bonded fabric around said gypsum; and (d) heating the surfaces of the so-obtained structural panel for a short time at a temperature of from about 100° C. to about 180° C.
