Abstract
Proposed is a burl foil that can be installed as insulation in shed-like buildings, in particular greenhouses, where a Jalousie-like movement of the burl foil from an at-rest position into a use position is said to be possible, without that the required space for stacking the burl foil in the at-rest position be too large. Additionally proposed are attachment means for the burl foil to drawing means or wire ropes that are embodied as simply structured, commercially producible clamping parts that can also be installed by lay persons on any whatever burl foils.
Claims7
Insulation adapted for use in a greenhouse-type building, said building having a side, said insulation including:
- a plurality of multiple layer burl foil strip sections disposed along said side of said building, each burl foil strip section having a top and a bottom and constructed to be folded at substantially equidistant intervals creating pleated regions in said section substantially normal to a first direction and to second reverse direction of section movement, each said pleated region including flange means for reinforcing said pleated section region, said flange means including welded cross piece members;
- each said pleated region formed by joining two adjacent burl foil strip sections at their respective said bottoms with one of said crossmembers, adjacent pleated regions being joined together at the respective said tops of said burl foil strip sections with one of said crossmembers;
- drawing means attached to each of said sections adjacent said side of said building for moving said sections in a first direction and then in a reverse second direction along said side;
- and
- attachment means for operatively securing said foil strip sections to said drawing means.
