Insulated wall construction
First Claim
1. An insulated wall construction apparatus comprising the combination of:
- first and second rod supports, each said rod support comprising a plate (17) and a rod support member (18) extending orthogonally from said plate, said plate having a transverse extent, said rod support member having a transverse cross-sectional dimension less than the transverse extent of said plate whereby said plate serves as a flange located at a first end of said rod support member, each said rod support member having a central bore and an opening for said central bore at a second end of said support member opposite to said plate and a pair of aligned apertures extending orthogonally through each said rod support member, said aligned apertures being located intermedially of said rod support member between said plate and said central bore opening;
a spacer rod (16), said spacer rod being of predetermined axial extent and having a pair of opposed ends each of which is adapted to be received axially into a corresponding one of said central bore openings of said rod support members, said spacer rod further having a pair of axially spaced openings extending orthogonally therethrough, each of said spaced openings being adapted to align with said pair of aligned apertures in a corresponding rod support member when said spacer rod ends are received through said central bore openings, respectively;
a pair of locking pin members, each of said locking pin members being adapted to be orthogonally inserted through a corresponding pair of said aligned apertures on said rod support member and one of said axially spaced openings on said spacer rod aligned therewith when said spacer rod is received through said bore opening in said second end of said corresponding rod support member, andlocating means for aligning at least one of said axially spaced openings extending orthogonally through said spacer rod with at least one of said pairs of aligned apertures extending orthogonally through each said rod support member when said spacer rod is received through said corresponding central bore opening.

Abstract
An insulated wall construction is provided utilizing spaced planar rigid foam plates, each foam plate including an upstanding rib formed about an upper and forward edge of each section, with a complimentary groove formed through each rear and bottom edge of each section. The construction includes a spacer rod positioned medially of the sections, the spacer rod receivable within a rod support, the rod support fixedly secured orthogonally to an external support plate, wherein the rod is directed through each section to receive the spaced rod therewithin. The spacer rod includes a plurality of apertures between each lock pin and capture an internal support plate between each lock pin and each interior space of each section. A temporary support member is provided to provide support to stacked sections for reception of concrete between the spaced sections to permit curing of concrete in a fixed orientation.
