Abstract
Heat insulating air bags (10) are formed with heat reflective interior surfaces (13) and the bags are filled with gas. In a preferred embodiment, the bags are formed at a forming site adjacent a dwelling, in a continuous manner, and are fed to an air delivery system (56) that blows the bags into the building structure where they are directed to an insulation receiving site, such as the floor of an attic.
Claims44
A method of installing heat insulation in a building structure, comprising:
- forming a plurality of bags containing air at a bag supply site adjacent an insulation receiving site,
- directing a stream of atmospheric air from the bag supply site to the insulation receiving site,
- introducing bags into the stream of atmospheric air at the bag supply site,
- moving the bags in the stream of atmospheric air to the insulation receiving site, and
- distributing the bags about the bag receiving site.
A method of installing heat insulation in an insulation receiving site of a building structure, comprising:
- forming a plurality of bags containing gas,
- directing a stream of atmospheric air to the insulation receiving site,
- introducing bags into the stream of atmospheric air,
- moving the bags in the stream of atmospheric air to the insulation receiving site, and
- distributing the bags about the bag receiving site.
A method of installing heat insulation in a building structure, comprising:
- forming a tube of sheet material,
- filling the tube with gas,
- dividing the tube and gas into a series of inflated bags,
- distributing the inflated bags about a bag receiving site in the building structure.
A method of insulating a building structure, comprising:
- forming a plurality of gas inflated bags at the building structure,
- distributing the gas inflated bags into a insulation receiving site of the building structure.
A heat insulated building structure comprising:
- a bag receiving site,
- a plurality of bags,
- said bags having a gas sealed inside,
- said bags each including at least one ply of material having a heat reflective surface facing said gas, so that the bags protect the heat reflective surfaces from becoming occluded by dust, fibers and other materials, and
- said bags randomly distributed about said bag receiving site.
