Abstract

An insulation assembly for a building structure and which includes a device for quickly and easily securing the insulation, to wall joists so to eliminate the job of stapling insulation to the joists, the present insulator consisting of soft woolly insulation material such as glass-fiber placed between paper or equivalent sheets which are glued together along their side edges, and these side edges on one outer side of having a pressure sensitive adhesive applied thereto which is covered by a removable protective strip of paper that can be peeled off to expose the adhesive for placements against the wall joists.

Claims

1. In a stick-on insulation, the combination of an assembly comprised of a woolly mass of insulating material such as glassfiber, a pair of rectangular paper panels, said woolly mass being placed between said papers, and the longitudinal side edges of said papers being secured together to form a pocket within which said mass is contained and said assembly means to be secured to building studs, wherein said means comprises a coating of pressure sensitive adhesive applied along said side edge and to an outer side of one of said papers, said adhesive being temporarily protected from contact by foreign objects by means of a strip of plastic coated paper that can be readily peeled off, wherein said side edges having said pressure sensitive adhesive applied thereto are additionally provided with a series of inverted U-shaped slits so as to form upwardly extending tongues for maintaining adhesion to said studs while other portions of said adhesive become loosened.
