System and method for lateral transfer plate having a punched tab

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to prefabricated building panels for use in structures, and walls external to structures, such as outdoor privacy walls and the like. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to a method and system for providing building panels that provide improved structural integrity, distribute loads, thermal performance, among other attributes using conventional framing members.

1 . A panel comprising:
 a polymeric insulated core comprising a steel exoskeleton of steel studs; and   a lateral transfer plate comprises an opening to receive a first stud, wherein the opening corresponds to the shape of the first stud,   an attachment tab formed by creating the opening.   
     
     
         2 . The panel of  claim 1 , further comprising fireblocking proximate to the lateral transfer plate. 
     
     
         3 . The panel of  claim 1 , further comprising a slip transfer plate comprising an opening to receive the first stud, wherein the opening mirrors the shape of the stud and wherein the slip transfer plate comprises a flange having a slot to receive a fastener for coupling the first stud. 
     
     
         4 . The panel of  claim 1  wherein the polymeric insulated core further comprises a contiguous precision cut groove cut out of the core configured to receive a first steel stud, wherein the precision cut groove corresponds to the shape of the first stud. 
     
     
         5 . The panel of  claim 1 , wherein the first stud is a conventionally shaped C steel stud. 
     
     
         6 . The panel of  claim 5 , wherein conventional steel stud comprises a web, a flange and a lip. 
     
     
         7 . The panel of  claim 1 , wherein each of the panels includes at least one precision cut chase useable to receive utility runs, wherein the chase further comprises individual channels cut to friction fit at least one of a wire, cable or tube. 
     
     
         8 . The panel of  claim 1 , wherein the lateral transfer plate comprises a flange configured to be fastened to the first stud. 
     
     
         9 . The panel of  claim 1 , wherein the panel is constructed from parts in accordance with AISI S200 requirements. 
     
     
         10 . The panel of  claim 1 , wherein the lateral transfer plate is configured to be integrated into a furring wall panel in which a plurality of studs are arranged in a row. 
     
     
         11 . The panel of  claim 1 , wherein the lateral transfer plate is configured to disperse a load between the interior and exterior studs and reduce the unbraced length. 
     
     
         12 . The panel of  claim 1 , further comprising a slip transfer plate comprising an opening to receive the first stud, wherein the opening mirrors the shape of the stud and wherein the slip transfer plate comprises a flange having a slot to receive a fastener for coupling the first stud. 
     
     
         13 . The panel of  claim 1 , further comprising an interlocking outside corner steel structural element and an inside corner steel structural element. 
     
     
         14 . The panel of  claim 1 , wherein the tab is fastened to the stud with at least one of a screw, rivet, weld, and with adhesive tape.
