Abstract
A stackable insulating foam panel which has a top side and a bottom side. Each of the panels has a median row of alternating projections and recesses with a similar complementary shape. The median row is disposed between two coplanar edge surfaces. Each projection of the top side is opposed to a recess of the bottom side whereby the top side and/or the bottom side of the panel can be interconnected with either the top side or the bottom side of a like panel. The present invention also concerns a wall form assembly which comprises opposed foam panels disposed in parallel relationship to make a wall form for receiving a flowable material such as concrete and a plurality of connectors for tying the opposed foam panels together.
Claims13
A stackable insulating foam panel having a top side and a bottom side each including a single median row of alternating projections and recesses having a similar complementary shape, the median row being disposed between two coplanar edge surfaces, each projection of the top side being opposed to a recess of the bottom side and each recess of the top side being opposed to a projection of the bottom side whereby the top side of the panel is interconnectable with either the top side or the bottom side of a like panel and the bottom side of the panel is interconnectable with either the top side or the bottom side of a like panel.
A wall form assembly for receiving a flowable material comprising:
- a first and a second opposed foam panels in parallel relationship;
- and
- a plurality of connectors hingedly tying together the first and second foam panels, whereby the tied foam panels are movable between an extended position where the foam panels are spaced-apart to make the form and a collapsed position where the foam panels are brought close to each other, and wherein
- each of the first panel and the second panel has a top side and a bottom side each including a single median row of alternating projections and recesses having a similar complementary shape, the median row being disposed between two coplanar edge surfaces, each projection and recess of the top side of one panel being opposed respectively to a recess and a projection of the bottom side of the same panel and facing a recess of the other panel when the panels are in the extended position whereby the panels in the extended position is interconnectable with a like pair of panels.
