Abstract
An insulated concrete wall includes a first form board, a second form board, a plurality of spacers, a plurality of rebar rods, a quantity of poured concrete and at least one insulation sheet. Each spacer includes at least one vertical passage for receiving a vertical rebar rod and a horizontal passage for receiving a horizontal rebar rod. The plurality of spacers are attached between the first and second form boards to create a concrete cavity. The quantity of concrete is poured into the cavity. The sheet of insulation may be attached to one or both form boards. The at least one insulated sheet may be replaced by an additional form board and the plurality of spacers. The additional form board would create an additional cavity, which would be filled with an insulation material. Alternatively, the two outer cavities may be filled with concrete and the center cavity filled with insulation.
Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates generally to concrete walls and more specifically to an insulated concrete wall, which includes at least one layer of insulation.
- 2. Discussion of the Prior Art
- Philippines utility model registration no. 2-2009-000170 to Taylor discloses a plastic wall stud spacer. Philippines design patent registration no. 3-2009-000287 to Taylor discloses a plastic wall stud spacer. Both the Taylor utility model no. 2-2009-000170 and the Taylor design patent registration no. 3-2009-000287 are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety. However, the Taylor documents do not teach or suggest concrete walls with at least one layer of insulation or multiple concrete sections.
- Accordingly, there is a clearly felt need in the art for insulated concrete walls, which include at least one layer of insulation multiple concrete sections.
- The present invention provides insulated concrete walls, which include at least one layer of insulation section. The insulated concrete wall includes a first form board, a second form board, a plurality of spacers, a plurality of rebar rods, a quantity of poured concrete and at least one insulation sheet. Each spacer includes at least one vertical passage for receiving a vertical rebar rod and a horizontal passage for receiving a horizontal rebar rod. The plurality of spacers are attached between the first and second form boards to create a concrete cavity. The quantity of concrete is poured between the first and second form boards. A sheet of insulation is attached to the first form board, the second form board or both the first and second form boards. One side of a plurality of insulation spacers may be attached to either the first form board or the second form board. A third form board is attached to the opposing side of the plurality of insulation spacers to form an insulation cavity. The quantity of concrete is poured into the concrete cavity and the insulation cavity is filled an insulation material. The insulation cavity may also be formed on both sides of the concrete wall. An insulation cavity may also be formed between two concrete cavities.
- Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide insulated concrete walls, which include at least one layer of insulation or multiple concrete sections.
- These and additional objects, advantages, features and benefits of the present invention will become apparent from the following specification.

Thesheet insulation 25 may be attached to thefirst form board 10, thesecond form board 12 or both the first and second form boards. - With reference to
FIG. 3 , aninsulated concrete wall 2 preferably includes afirst form board 30, asecond form board 32, athird form board 34, afourth form board 36, the plurality ofspacers 14, the plurality ofhorizontal rebar rods 18, the plurality ofvertical rebar rods 20, a quantity ofinsulation 35 and a quantity ofpoured concrete 38. Theform boards spacers 14 are attached to an inside surface of thefirst form board 30 and the second side of the plurality ofspacers 14 are attached to an inside surface of thesecond form board 32. The first side of the plurality ofspacers 14 are also attached to an outside surface of thesecond form board 32 and the second side of the plurality ofspacers 14 are attached to an inside surface of thethird form board 34. The first side of the plurality ofspacers 14 are further attached to an outside surface of thethird form board 34 and the second side of the plurality ofspacers 14 are attached to an inside surface of thefourth form board 36. - A
first insulation cavity 40 is created between the inside surfaces of the first and second form boards. Aconcrete cavity 42 is created between the outside surface of thesecond form board 32 and the inside surface of thethird form board 34. Asecond insulation cavity 44 is formed between an outside surface of thethird form board 34 and an inside surface of thefourth form board 36.
