US 2012/0267067 A1 · Panels Having Multiple Channel Structures

Abstract

A panel includes an insulating material, first channels disposed in a first surface of the insulating material, and second channels disposed in the first surface of the insulating material. The second channels are disposed at a first angle relative to the first channels. Additionally, the first channels and second channels are arranged such that each of the first channels is substantially parallel to the other first channels and each of the second channels is substantially parallel to the other second channels. The panel further includes a first retention clip disposed in one of the first channels. The first retention clip is configured to suspend an object having a substantially round cross-section within the one of the first channels. The first retention clip is further configured to prevent the object from contacting walls of the one of the first channels.

A system comprising:

panels made from an insulating material, each panel including first channels and second channels disposed in a surface of the insulating material, the first channels and second channels arranged such that each of the first channels is substantially parallel to the other first channels and each of the second channels is substantially parallel to the other second channels, the first channels disposed at an angle relative to the second channels;
first retention clips disposed within the first channels of the panels;
second retention clips disposed within the second channels of the panels;
and
a transporter disposed within the first channels and second channels of the panels, the first and second retention clips configured to suspend the transporter within the first and second channels and to prevent the transporter from contacting walls of the first and second channels.
