Patent ID: 8359799

Claim:
A building module, comprising: an inner construction panel defining a planar surface thereon; one or more rigid brackets each affixed by one or more mechanical fasteners to the planar surface of the inner construction panel, wherein each of the one or more brackets bears a planar surface facing substantially away from the planar surface of the inner construction panel, wherein the surface area of the planar surface of each of the one or more brackets is substantially smaller than the surface area of the planar surface of the inner construction panel to which the one or more brackets is affixed; and a rigid, closed-cell, spray polyurethane foam or adhesive matrix contiguous to and substantially covering the planar surface of the inner construction panel and filling to and surround and/or embed at least a major portion of the one or more brackets, wherein the one or more brackets includes first and second slidably coextensive unitary components, wherein the first unitary component includes a back panel, a bottom ledge, and first and second side panels, wherein the back panel intersects the first and second side panels at substantially right angles, wherein the first and second side panels intersect the bottom ledge at substantially right angles, wherein the first and second side panels each have an outer surfaces, wherein the first and second side panels each have a plurality of splines protruding at their outer surface extending generally from top to bottom, wherein the back panel is flush and contiguous with respect to the planar surface of the inner construction panel, wherein the back panel is affixed to the planar surface of the inner construction panel, wherein the second unitary component includes a face panel, third and fourth side panels, and a rim, wherein the face panel intersects the third and fourth side panels at substantially right angles, wherein the rim extends around the upper edges of the face panel and the third and fourth side panels, wherein the face panel bears the planar surface of each of the one or more brackets, wherein the third and fourth side panels each have an inner surface, wherein the third and fourth side panels each have a plurality of splines protruding at their inner surface extending generally from top to bottom, wherein the plurality of splines of the first and second side panels are slidably coextensive with the splines of the third and fourth side panels.
