An insulation module fabricated from ceramic fiber blanket material. The module includes a horizontal base of blanket material and body portion of blanket material secured to the top thereof. The body may be blanket material in a zigzag or Z-configuration with free ends seated against the base or a series of U-folds with the bight portions thereof being remote and directed from the base. Alternatively, the body can be blanket material wound into helix of an overall rectangular cross section and having its free edge seated against the base. The base can be formed of superposed blankets that are staggered or offset so as to make rabbet-like joints with corresponding parts of adjacent modules. The modules, which are generally of rectangular configuration, are provided with protective covers that protect them, retain them in a prestressed (laterally compressed trapezoidal) condition, and which facilitate installation. Bifurcated retainer bar supports coact with retainer bars upon which the modules are skewered to hold the modules in position. The bars extend in the direction of lateral module compression with adjacent ends of approximately aligned retainer bars associated with adjacent modules sharing a bifurcated support and extending in overlapping relationship through its bifurcation wherein they secure by the support being crimped thereabout. A novel installation procedure is disclosed.

In structure for mounting ceramic fiber modules a pair of elongated retainer bar supports each having inner and outer ends with the inner end of each being adapted to be secured to a furnace wall, whereby the supports may be spaced from each other and secured perpendicularly to a wall to project their outer ends in spaced relation from the wall and from each other, an insulation module having an elongated retainer bar extending laterally therethrough, each of the supports being provided with holding means at its outer end for releasably holding an end portion of the retainer bar, said holding means comprising said support being bifurcated lengthwise from its outer end to a position spaced from its inner end to define a pair of fingers for receiving an end portion of the retainer bar therebetween, with such fingers being of a sufficiently malleable material to enable their being selectively bent to grip and pried apart to release an end portion of the retainer bar therebetween, said module being positioned intermediate the supports with the pairs of fingers respectively receiving therebetween and gripping the end portions of the retainer bar.
