Description

(54) IMPROVEMENTS IN OR RELATING TO INSULATING COMPOSITE ROOF, DECK AND WALL PANELS (71) We, CAPE UNIVERSAL CLADDINGS liMITED formerly COOKSON SHEET METAL DEVELOPMENTS LIMITED, a British Company of Claylands Road, Bishop's Waltham, Southampton, S03 1 GL, do hereby declare the invention for which we pray that a patent may be granted to us, and the method by which it is to be performed to be particularly described in and by the following statement: This invention relates to insulating composite roof, deck and wall panels and assemblies thereof, and is especially concerned with the securing of such panels to each other and to structural members of buildings with concealed fastening means.
Insulating composite panels comprising opposed metal sheets having a layer of foamed plastics material or other thermally insulating material between them have recently been developed. These are assembled side-by-side on a building structure and fixed to the structure.
The joining of the panels to each other to form a weatherproof joint and the fixing of the panels to the building structure without creating a water leakage path pose problems, and it is desirable to mitigate these difficulties without making the panels unnecessarily complex.
According to the present invention there is provided at least two composite roof, deck or wall panels suitable for assembly together and each comprising two facing sheets opposed to each other and thermally insulating material located between the sheets, the panels being adapted to be joined together, when mounted adjacent each other on site, by the securing together of (a) a male rib formed from one or more of the facing sheets and (b) a cover sheet providing a female rib overlying the male rib, the male rib having a channel covered by the female rib when assembled, which channel thus constitutes a drain channel for water entering between the ribs and further provides space for fixing means for one or both panels which are hidden in the assembled state.
The male rib is suitably formed in two portions, with the channel between them, each portion having a rib shape. The two portions may both be formed in one panel in which case the other panel may provide the cover sheet constituting the female rib as a laterally projecting portion of one of its facing sheets. Alternatively each panel may provide one of said portions, adjacent its edge, so that the two panels together provide the male rib and the channel therein. In this case, the cover sheet may be a separate item, formed of sheet material.
The fixing means is suitably one or more bolts, which pass through the panel from the said channel in the male rib. The bolt holes may emerge into the channel from a smaller upstanding rib or projection provided in the channel, drain passages thus being provided in the channel to either side of the smaller rib or projection.
Preferably the facing sheet of the panel which provides the male rib or rib portion is of metal.
Preferably the female rib is locked onto the male rib by a snap-action interlock. Alternatively or additionally it may be bolted or screwed to the male rib.
Preferred embodiments of the invention will now be described by way of example with reference to the drawings accompanying the Provisional Specification, in which: Figure 1 illustrates in part perspective view an end portion of one composite panel embodying the invention Figure 2 illustrates in part perspective view the cover strip or female rib for use with two of the panels of Figure 1; Figure 3 illustrates in part cross section view two assembled panels of Figure 1 on a roof purlin with the cover strip of Figure 2; Figure 4 illustrates in part perspective view an end portion of another composite panel embodying the invention; Figure 5 illustrates in part cross section view two panels of Figure 4 assembled on a roof purlin; and Figure 6 illustrates in part cross section view a modified form of the embodiment of Figures 4 and 5.
In Figures 1 and 3 the rectangular roof or wall panel 84 has an interior 86 of foamed insulating plastics material or other suitable material with an outer facing sheet 88 made of light gauge sheet metal and an internal facing sheet 90 of light gauge sheet metal or other suitable material. The outer sheet 88 has identical male rib portions 92 adjacent each longitudinal edge. The male rib portion 92 has a locking groove 96 at its base on the side remote from the panel edge and the edge itself has a smaller upstanding rib 98. Between the rib portion 92 and the small rib 98 there is a central smaller rib 100 on either side of which are drain channels 102 and 104. The top wall 106 of the small rib 100 provides a seating for the heads of purlin or studding bolts which pass right through the panel to fix it down (see Figure 3).
The cover strip 108 of Figure 2 constitutes a female overlapping rib 110 which has two side walls 112 and 114 on the free ends of which are two internally directed lips 116 and 118.
In Figure 3 two identical roof panels 84 are shown assembled on a roof purlin 120 by means of bolts 122 and 124. The adjacent rib portions 92 thus provide a male rib with a central channel for the heads of the fixing bolts 122, 124. Cover strip 108 has been pressed down over the male rib portions 92 with its lips 116 and 118 interlocking by a snap-action in the respective locking grooves 96 to provide a highly weathertight and fire-proof secret joint between the roof panels, the fixing bolts being covered by the cover strip 108.
The roof or wall panel 126 of Figures 4 and 5 has an interior portion 128 of foamed insulated plastic or other suitable material with one facing 130 of light gauge sheet metal and the opposite facing 132 being of sheet metal, plastic or other suitable materials. The facing 130 is provided with a male rib 134 at one longitudinal edge of the sheet and a cover strip forming an overlapping female rib 136 projecting at the opposite edge. The male rib 134 comprises a locking rib portion 138, with an inwardly directed locking groove 140 at its base on the inward side and an edge rib portion 142 separated by a channel. In the channel are drain channels 144 and 146 each side of a smaller central upstanding rib 148 situated between the said rib portions 134, 142. The rib 148 has a top wall 150 through which bores for purlin fixing bolts emerge.
The female rib 136 consists of an overlying top wall 152 with an inwardly turned lip 154 at its free edge. In Figure 5, the panel 126 is shown secured to a purline 156 by a bolt 158.
Subsequently, the female rib 136 of a like neighbouring panel is snapped on to male rib 134, the lip 154 engaging into groove 140 of the lock rib portion 138. Again, a weathertight joint with concealed fixing means is provided.
As an alternative to snap-action locking means between the male and female ribs, the overlapping female rib may be secured to the male rib by means of seam bolting. In Figure 6 the panel 160 which is generally similar to the panels of Figures 4 and 5 and comprises a sheet metal facing 162, a foamed interior 164 and an opposite facing 166 made of suitable sheet material is shown fastened to a purlin 168 by bolt 178 through its male rib 172. The female rib 174 is fastened to the male rib 172 by means of seam bolts 176. The risk of water leakage between the seam bolted ribs during severe storm conditions is considerably lessened because of the provision of the drain channels in the male rib 172.
Although only parts of the panels are shown in the drawings, it will be understood that the locking ribs extend the full length of the panels, so that a full length joint can be formed. The invention is applicable to all forms of cladding panel, including load-bearing deck panels.

The male rib portion 92 has a locking groove 96 at its base on the side remote from the panel edge and the edge itself has a smaller upstanding rib 98. Between the rib portion 92 and the small rib 98 there is a central smaller rib 100 on either side of which are drain channels 102 and 104. The top wall 106 of the small rib 100 provides a seating for the heads of purlin or studding bolts which pass right through the panel to fix it down (see Figure 3). The cover strip 108 of Figure 2 constitutes a female overlapping rib 110 which has two side walls 112 and 114 on the free ends of which are two internally directed lips 116 and 118. In Figure 3 two identical roof panels 84 are shown assembled on a roof purlin 120 by means of bolts 122 and 124. The adjacent rib portions 92 thus provide a male rib with a central channel for the heads of the fixing bolts 122, 124.

The male rib 134 comprises a locking rib portion 138, with an inwardly directed locking groove 140 at its base on the inward side and an edge rib portion 142 separated by a channel. In the channel are drain channels 144 and 146 each side of a smaller central upstanding rib 148 situated between the said rib portions 134, 142. The rib 148 has a top wall 150 through which bores for purlin fixing bolts emerge. The female rib 136 consists of an overlying top wall 152 with an inwardly turned lip 154 at its free edge. In Figure 5, the panel 126 is shown secured to a purline 156 by a bolt 158. Subsequently, the female rib 136 of a like neighbouring panel is snapped on to male rib 134, the lip 154 engaging into groove 140 of the lock rib portion 138. Again, a weathertight joint with concealed fixing means is provided. As an alternative to snap-action locking means between the male and female ribs, the overlapping female rib may be secured to the male rib by means of seam bolting. In Figure 6 the panel 160 which is generally similar to the panels of Figures 4 and 5 and comprises a sheet metal facing 162, a foamed interior 164 and an opposite facing 166 made of suitable sheet material is shown fastened to a purlin 168 by bolt 178 through its male rib 172.
