Abstract

There is described a method for fabricating a modular panel, the method comprising a continuous production cycle comprising: providing a space between two parallel exterior faces continuously supplied, the space also enclosed between two opposite outer edges; positioning a fastener within the space, along at least one of the two opposite outer edges, the positioning performed at a given rate to form a customized and predetermined pattern, and while the space is being provided; at least partially filling the space with an insulation layer, the insulation layer being also used for holding said fastener in place; and cutting at least the insulation layer to form the modular panel, the cutting according to the customized and predetermined pattern. There is also provided a modular panel having two parallel exterior faces for enclosing a space and a fastener, said fastener being positioned within said space during the above-mentioned continuous production cycle

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A modular panel comprising:
 two opposite outer edges;   two parallel exterior faces having a space therebetween, said space also enclosed within said two opposite outer edges;   an insulation layer at least partially filling said space;   at least two opposite cut ends perpendicular to said two opposite outer edges; and   a longitudinal V-shaped cavity formed from one of said two opposite cut ends to the other one of said two opposite cut ends for folding one of said parallel exterior faces along said longitudinal V-shaped cavity for forming an angled modular panel.   
     
     
         2 . The modular panel as in  claim 1 , wherein at least one of said two parallel exterior faces comprises a sheet of material. 
     
     
         3 . The modular panel as in  claim 2 , further comprising an adhesive placed in the V-shaped groove for holding the modular panel in an angled position. 
     
     
         4 . The modular panel as in  claim 3 , further comprising a joint placed in an inside corner formed by the folding along the V-shaped groove. 
     
     
         5 . The modular panel as in  claim 3 , wherein said sheet of material comprises at least one of a sheet of plastic, a sheet of metal and a sheet of aluminum. 
     
     
         6 . The modular panel as in  claim 1 , wherein at least one of said two opposite outer edges further comprises a groove. 
     
     
         7 . An assembly of modular panels forming the perimeter of an insulated room, each modular panel comprising two opposite outer edges wherein a distance between the two opposite outer edges defines a given fixed width; two parallel exterior faces having a space therebetween, said space also enclosed within said two opposite outer edges; an insulation layer at least partially filling said space; and at least two opposite cut ends perpendicular to said two opposite outer edges, the assembly having:
 at least one of the modular panels comprising a longitudinal V-shaped cavity formed from one of said two opposite cut ends to the other one of said two opposite cut ends for folding one of said parallel exterior faces along said longitudinal V-shaped cavity for forming an angled modular panel.   
     
     
         8 . The assembly of  claim 7 , wherein a single one of the modular panels comprises two parallel cut edges resulting from the removal of a longitudinal sectional portion from the single modular panel from one of said two opposite cut ends to the other one of said two opposite cut ends, thereby defining a closing panel which is of a width that is different from the given width and which is used for closing the perimeter of the insulated room. 
     
     
         9 . The assembly of  claim 8 , wherein said two parallel cut edges each comprises at least one groove, the assembly further comprising at least one of a molding and an adhesive used in conjunction with the at least one groove for securing said two parallel cut edges together. 
     
     
         10 . The assembly of  claim 7 , wherein the at least one of the modular panel further comprises a joint placed in an inside corner formed by the folding along the V-shaped groove. 
     
     
         11 . The assembly of  claim 7 , wherein the least one of the modular panel further comprises an adhesive placed in the V-shaped groove for holding the modular panel in an angled position. 
     
     
         12 . The assembly of  claim 7 , wherein at least one of said two parallel exterior faces comprises a sheet of material. 
     
     
         13 . The assembly of  claim 12 , wherein said sheet of material comprises at least one of a sheet of plastic, a sheet of metal and a sheet of aluminum.
