System and method for primarily erecting curvilinear buildings using a plurality of interconnected structural tubes/sandwich panels
11028572 · 2021-06-08 ·

A system and method for primarily erecting curvilinear buildings using a plurality of interconnected structural tubes/sandwich panels is provided. Fabricating structural tubing comprises: connecting a fibrous and flexible lining to an inner surface of a flexible outer membrane, wherein the lining is saturated in a curable material that forms into a solid foam material when cured; and curing the curable material. Fabricating a sandwich panel comprises: connecting a first fibrous and flexible lining to an inner surface of a first flexible outer membrane, wherein the first lining is saturated in a curable material that forms into a solid foam when cured; connecting a second fibrous and flexible lining to an inner surface of a second flexible outer membrane, wherein the second lining is saturated in a curable material that forms into a solid foam when cured; and curing the curable material of the first lining and second linings.

Flexible panel

A flexible panel includes: a plurality of first blades made of semi-rigid material, of rectangular shape, having a pair of long sides and a pair of short sides; a pair of textile membranes which connect each pair of said first blades along said long sides; each of the plurality of first blades include at least one second blade, of quadrilateral shape, connected in a folding manner to one of the short sides, along a line of contact between one of the plurality of first blades and the at least one second blade; when the panel opens it creates vertical tubular hollow areas laterally delimited by the plurality of first blades and by the one pair of textile membranes which joins them.

Hinged corner form for an insulating concrete form system
09534381 · 2017-01-03 · ·

A corner form panel used in an insulating concrete form system includes a hinged corner web member at least partially embedded in each of two segments of the form panel. The hinged corner web member enables the two segments to rotate with respect to each other, so that the form panel can be opened to a flat configuration for shipping, and folded into a corner configuration at the jobsite. Both inside and outside corner panels may be provided, and may use different hinged corner web members. The corner web member may include features for connecting the inside and outside corner panels, to reinforce the resulting form unit.
