Abstract
Multi-pronged insulating connectors used in manufacturing insulative composite wall structures. At least a substantial portion of the connector is injection molded in a single step from an appropriate resinous material or moldable plastic. One or more prongs of the connector have a substantially pointed end for facilitating penetration of the connector through an insulating layer and an unhardened structural material, such as concrete. The opposite end, or gripping segment, includes a bridging structure for connecting the multiple prongs together and structure for facilitating gripping of the connector during placement in the insulating layer and first unhardened structural layer. The connectors include structures for helping to anchor the connectors within the structural layers upon hardening.
