Metal structuring system

Abstract

A metal structuring system is disclosed preferably consisting of a plurality of inner wall elements and a plurality of outer wall elements fastened together to form the walls of a building/structure. The system uses the inner and outer metal wall elements as structural ingredients, as well as a cosmetic covering, to provide rigidity and strength, while also providing overall lightness. The attachment of the inner wall and outer wall elements, yields a single, hollow space between the inner and outer walls for the injection of an insulating materials, such as impregnated foam. The inner wall elements and the outer wall elements are preferably similar in shape and construction.

What I claim is:  
     
         1 . A metal structural system, comprising: 
 a plurality of inner wall elements (“IWEs”);    a plurality of outer wall elements (“OWEs”);    wherein IWEs and OWEs are attached together to define a hollow space therebetween which is adapted for receipt of insulation therein through injection techniques.    
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising a joint, said joint comprising: 
 a u-shaped stud like element (“SLE”) attached integral to either a first end of said IWE or a first end of said OWE, said SLE separating an IWE from an attached OWE to define a hollow space.    
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 2 , further comprising: 
 a first gasket disposed between the SLE and the IWE;    a second gasket disposed between the SLE and the OWE.    
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 2 , further comprising: 
 fastening devices for connecting two or more IWEs; and    fastening devices for connecting two or more OWEs.    
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 2 , further comprising: 
 fastening devices for connecting one or more IWEs to one or more OWEs.    
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 2 , wherein each SLE divides the hollow space into a chamber on each side of said SLE, said SLE having one or more holes for allowing material to flow between said chambers found on either side of the SLE.  
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 2 , further comprising one or more corner assemblies, each corner assembly including: 
 an inner corner piece; and    an outer corner piece;    
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 7 , said corner assembly further comprising: 
 a central outer gasket disposed between said outer corner piece and said inner corner piece;    a first peripheral outer gasket disposed between said inner corner piece and a first OWE; and    a second peripheral outer gasket disposed between said inner corner piece and a second OWE.    
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising a track like member formed on the top end of the IWE and the OWE; and a top member attached to said track like member.  
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 9 , wherein the top member comprises holes for access to the hollow space defined by the IWE and the OWE.  
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 10 , further comprising means for plugging the holes.  
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the IWE and the OWE are constructed similar to each other.  
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising: 
 one or more trim elements, wherein an inner section of the trim is slid into a hole in the IWE and the outer section of the trim element is slid into a hole in the OWE.    
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising a base mold attachable to the IWE.  
     
     
         15 . The system of  claim 14 , wherein the base mold comprises a surface wall mount attached to the IWE and an outer piece attached to the surface wall mount.  
     
     
         16 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising: 
 a bottom piece with an approximately 45 degree angle flange away from a foundation for the system attached to the bottom of an IWE and an OWE; and    a bottom gasket disposed between said bottom piece and the foundation.    
     
     
         17 . A refrigerated box, comprising: 
 a plurality of inner wall elements (“IWEs”);    a plurality of outer wall elements (“OWEs”);    wherein IWEs and OWEs are attached together to define a hollow space therebetween which is adapted for receipt of insulation therein through injection techniques.    
     
     
         18 . A metal structural system, comprising: 
 a plurality of inner wall elements (“IWEs”);    a plurality of outer wall elements (“OWEs”);    a joint, comprising a u-shaped stud like element (“SLE”) attached integral to either a first end of said IWE or a first end of said OWE, said SLE separating an IWE from an attached OWE to define a hollow space, wherein each SLE divides the hollow space into a chamber on each side of said SLE, said SLE having one or more holes for allowing material to flow between said chambers found on either side of the SLE; and    one or more corner assemblies, each corner assembly including: 
 an inner corner piece; and  
 an outer corner piece.
