Benefits of technology

This patented technology allows for better insulation within buildings without having any holes left on their surfaces when they were built up afterward. It uses compression panel systems made from materials like paper tape instead of traditional methods involving screws or other hardware. These connections allow for flexible placement options while maintaining strength against external forces during use. Additionally, this design makes it easier to route power cables throughout complex structures due to its unique structure. Overall, these technical improvements make indoor spaces look smoother looking more comfortable than usual.

Problems solved by technology

This patented technical problem addressed in this patents relates to improving indoor decorativity without compromizing usages within buildings. Existing alternatives involve expensive hardware installation methods involving various tools, including drilling screw anchoring brackets, hydrocodes, and jointless connections. Additionally, existing solutions lack flexibility, adaptability, and versatility in terms of meeting demands associated with external environments such as heating rooms, restaurants, conference centres, and stadiums.

Embodiment Construction

[0042] The present invention utilizes solid core compressed straw panels comprised of a matrix of highly compressed straw, usually wheat, rice, oat or other recovered agricultural straw, lined on all sides by paper or paperboard. Typically, the panels are made through a dry extrusion process wherein straw is compressed into a substantially flat continuous web, normally between 1½″ and 3½″ thick and between 40″ and 60″ wide. The continuous web is then cut into rectangular panels of various lengths. Panel length is easily varied. The compressed straw is arranged in layers with the straw fibers substantially parallel in orientation extending transversely across the panel from side to side when the panel is in a normal in-use orientation. Said panels are typically rectangular in shape, and for the purposes of this disclosure, will be oriented such that the longer edges are substantially vertical and the shorter edges are substantially horizontal. In this orientation, said straw fibers will

Abstract

An improved wall and partition construction method that is more time and cost efficient to construct than conventional methods, and that includes no exterior attachment means, thus providing a finished wall with a substantially seemless first and second surface. The improved wall is constructed by attaching rigid panels to a series of channel members each having a hat-shaped cross section generally placed in vertical orientation, along the centerline of a wall. Each channel member includes a plurality of openings that provide an interior pathway for routing utility and communication cables, and/or for containing supplemental insulation. Compressed straw panels are attached to the channel members in a slightly offset alternating manner such that each panel can be rigidly connected to a channel member by a plurality of lag screws with each penetrating the panel from the inside such that the finished wall has no exterior penetrations.
