Abstract
Abstract A compound construction panel for double floors used in room air conditioning, comprising an external, tub-shaped sheath formed of a high tensile-strength and high Young's modulus material, a filler in the sheath formed of a low tensile strength and low Young's modulus material, and a rigid annular body disposed in an aperture in the bottom of the sheath and extending to the upper portion of the sheath. The annular body is anchored in the filler and is provided with a radially inwardly projecting annular flange at its lower portion which serves as a support for an air discharge nozzle, a dirt-catcher or the like.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
194 words
An overhanging compound construction panel for double floors used in room air conditioning, the panel having an external, tub-shaped sheathing means made of a high tensile-strength and high Young's modulus material, said sheathing means having an upper portion and a bottom with an aperture therein, and a filler means introduced in said tub-shaped sheathing means when in the flowing or pourable state and of a low tensile-strength and low Young's modulus, characterized by at least one rigid annular body (16) fixed in said aperture (14) to the bottom (13) of the tub-shaped sheathing means (11) in essentially hermetically sealing relation therewith and anchored in the filler means (12), said annular body (16) having a lower portion and extending up to the upper portion of the sheathing means and being provided with a radially inwardly projecting annular flange (20) at the lower portion thereof for supporting an air discharge nozzle (21) within said annular body and a dirt-catcher (22) beneath said nozzle (21), said annular body (16) comprising an inner wall (25), and said annular flange (20) having an upper portion (23) that is separated from said inner wall (25) by an annular groove (24).

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
24 words
The compound construction panel of claim 1, characterized in that said upper portion (23) has an outer surface which is tapered inwardly and upwardly.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
31 words
The compound construction panel of claim 1, characterized in that the annular body (16) comprises at least one radially outwardly projecting annular flange (19) for anchoring it in the filler (12).
