Abstract
Abstract A process for forming wall modules wherein foam insulation blocks are supported in a frame and crossed nails are driven into said furring strips for supporting reinforcing rods and concrete which is poured between said blocks and said frame and the spaces between said blocks around the nails and reinforcing rods thereby holding the reinforcing rods in place until the concrete is poured around them and thereafter the nails hold the furring strips to the concrete module.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
195 words
A process for making a building module 110 comprising, providing a frame having sides, ends and an open top, forming an enclosure having inside dimensions equal to the dimensions of said module to be formed comprising, placing said frame on a relatively horizontal flat surface, placing blocks of insulation material in said frame spaced from each other a sufficient distance to provide spaces for concrete to form webs and spaced inwardly from the edges of said frame to receive concrete, forming sides, placing furring strips in said frame in the spaces between said insulation blocks and resting on the flat surface forming the bottom of said frame, the furring strips resting on said flat surface, said furring strips having nails driven from the side opposite said flat surface therein, said nails being crossed forming a cradle to receive reinforcing rods, supporting the reinforcing rods in said cradle spaced at a distance from said furring strips and pouring concrete into the space between said frame and around said reinforcing rods and around said nails and between said insulation blocks and said frame whereby an insulation panel is formed with concrete between and around said insulation material.

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
43 words
The process recited in claim 1 wherein one furring strip disposed adjacent one end of said frame and said end of said frame has an offset flange bottom therein forming recesses in the poured concrete for receiving an end of a said panel.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
30 words
The process recited in claim 2 wherein said blocks of insulation material having inclined edges inclined from the surface to be disposed adjacent on inside wall away from one another.
