AL MEMBER EMPLOYING RANDOM HONEYCOMB STRUCTURE

摘要

This disclosure involves a form of prefabricated structure such as commercial or industrial buildings, houses or enclosures employing an external skin bonded to an intermediate structural and insulating filler with an inner surface skin similarly bonded to the filler material. The external skins are preferably resin bonded glass fiber and the intermediate filler composes a random honeycomb structure made of cellulosic material, such as individual pieces of paper of random size each rigidified and bonded to adjacent pieces by a resinous binder which is compatible with the binder of the skins. The structure is shown in continuous panels and actually three dimensional structure configurations as well as discrete structural elements which may be used to replace comparable structural elements normally made of wood. Disclosed also are processes for continuous manufacture of structures employing the concept of this invention either in the factory or on site.
