DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The modular structure 10 according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention as shown in Figures 1 to 5 comprises a first face 12, a second face 14, and a plurality of side panels 16 forming a lateral side 18.
Door 20, shown in an open position, is provided in first face 12 to allow access to the interior space enclosed by modular structure 10.
In this embodiment, first and second faces 12 and 14 are semi-circular in shape and each have a straight bottom edge 22 and 24, respectively, and a curved top edge 26 and 28, respectively. Bottom edges 22 and 24 are in proximity with the ground upon which modular structure 10 is installed, while upper edges 26 and 28 engage lateral side 18, which forms the roof and sides of the structure.
First and second faces 12 and 14 are of the same size and shape, with the exception of the presence of door 20 in the first face. It is to be understood, however, that alternative configurations are within the scope of the present invention.
In this embodiment, each side panel 16 is identical to the others. This simplifies manufacture and storage of side panels 16 considerably, and aids the modularity of the design, which will be expanded upon further below.
Each side panel 16 has a primary curvature 30 over its length which corresponds to the curvature off upper edges 26, 28, and a secondary curvature 32 over its width. This primary curvature strengthens the rigidity of the panel. Curvature 30 is illustrated in Figures 1 to 5 comprising a sweep of 90 . In combination, a section, or module, of modular structure 10 is created by two side panels 16 connected in series at corresponding flanges 17 to form a combined sweep of 180 . Additional side panels 16 are then connected in parallel, side by side, to extend the depth of the modular structure. In the embodiment shown in Figures 1 to 5, modular structure 10 is six panels deep. However, the depth of the structure can be varied according to the needs of the end-user by varying the number of side panels 16 employed.
The main components of modular structure 10 are constructed of a moulded composite material. In addition to side panels 16, which form lateral side 18, first face 12 is assembled from a plurality of first face panels 13; second face 14 is assembled from a plurality second face panels 15;
and door 20 is formed from a plurality of door panels 21.
First and second faces 12 and 14 are of the same size and shape, with the exception of the presence of door 20 in the first face. It is to be understood, however, that alternative configurations are within the scope of the present invention.
In this embodiment, each side panel 16 is identical to the others. This simplifies manufacture and storage of side panels 16 considerably, and aids the modularity of the design, which will be expanded upon further below.

In the embodiment shown in Figures 1 to 5, modular structure 10 is six panels deep. However, the depth of the structure can be varied according to the needs of the end-user by varying the number of side panels 16 employed.
The main components of modular structure 10 are constructed of a moulded composite material. In addition to side panels 16, which form lateral side 18, first face 12 is assembled from a plurality of first face panels 13; second face 14 is assembled from a plurality second face panels 15;
and door 20 is formed from a plurality of door panels 21.
5 These panels are made of a fibre-reinforced composite material, such as fibreglass, carbon-epoxy, or aramid fibre composites. Achieving an arched design comprising both primary and secondary curvatures 30 and 32 is much easier with moulded materials. In addition, first face panels 13, second face panels 15, and door panels 21 are also given a curvature over their width similar to secondary curvature 32. This serves to further enhance the strength and stability of modular structure 10.
For its low cost, fibreglass is preferred for commercial applications.
However, for special cases in which a modular structure 10 is required with a lighter weight and greater strength, carbon-epoxy or aramid fibre composites are preferable. Such special cases include, for example, a temporary military barracks.
Modular structure 10 has a number of different applications. When made of transparent fibreglass, structure 10 serves readily as a greenhouse, for growing plants beyond the regular growing season. Indeed, by properly moulding the curvature of panels 13, 15 and 16, a focusing lens effect can be obtained to increase the incident light received within the structure. For example, secondary curvature of the panel can be controlled to heat the interior of the structure.
If an opaque composite is used, modular structure 10 can serve shed, garage or storage space.
With reference now to Figure 6, a second embodiment of the present invention is illustrated. Modular structure 10a comprises much the same elements as shown in Figures 1 to 5, with the addition of openable louvers 34 for allowing, for example, ventilation.
Figure 7 illustrates a third embodiment of the present invention dubbed the "hybrid" design 10b. This hybrid design comprises two openable roof portions 38, similar in structure to the louvered embodiment illustrated in Figure 6. The roof portions 38 are made from transparent composite, such as fibreglass, while the remainder of hybrid modular structure 10b is made from an opaque composite. This design is well suited for housing an outdoor hot tub, which would allow users to open the roof for ventilation, or simply gaze through the transparent roof. The hybrid structure 10b can also be equipped with a mosquito screen.
In use, both the louvers 34 and openable roof portions 38 can be opened and closed manually, or by pneumatic or electro-mechanical actuators.
Such methods are commonly known in the art and will therefore not be discussed further here.
Figure 8 illustrates a fourth embodiment of the present invention meant for installation adjacent to an existing structure. Modular structure 10c can be made from the same panels at previously-discussed embodiments, but only includes one half of the components. Open side 40 is positioned to engage a pre-existing wall and attach thereto in much the same way it would the other half of modular structure 10.
With reference now to Figures 9, 10 and 11, the assembly of a modular structure according to the present invention will be discussed.
Figure 9 illustrates in detail the engagement of a corner front face panel 13a with a corner side panel 16a. Between corner panels 13a and 16a, a gasket 42 is positioned. Gasket 42 is made of an elastomeric material, such as rubber, to account for physical changes in the structure due to changes in temperature or shifting of the ground upon which it is installed.
Gasket 42 is sandwiched between side flanges 44 and 46, extending laterally from corner panels 13a and 16a, respectively. Corner panels 13a and 16a are affixed with fastening means 48, for example stainless steel bolts, engaging holes 49. Additional gaskets 42 can also be installed between any or all of the structure's adjoining panels.
Side panel 16 comprises a similar side flange 44 extending laterally from the other side of curvature 32. Pairs of side flanges 44 from adjacent side panels 16 are fixed together in the same way as described above, as are the first and the second face panels 13 and 15, and door panels 21.
Additionally, lower flanges 50 and 52 of panels 16a and 13a, respectively, are illustrated. Flange 50 is common to all side panels 16, and equivalent to flange 17, mentioned above. In a preferred embodiment, side panels 16 are symmetrical and have neither an "up" nor a "down". This simplifies the assembly of modular structure 10.
Figure 10 illustrates in detail an exploded of view the louvered construction of the second embodiment of the present invention. Louver 34 hingedly attaches to opposite side panel 16 via flanges 17 and hinge (or hinges) 54.
Hinge 54 is preferably a stainless steel piano hinge. A similar hinge is used to attach door 20 to first face 12.
Whereas side panels 16 are connected end-to-end forming an arched section of 180 , the louvered section, as shown in Figures 6 and 10, replaces one the 90 side panels 16 with louver 34 and louver base 36. In the example illustrated herein, the louver and louver base are of equal sizes, each being half of a regular side panel 16. It is to be understood however that other configurations are possible, for example a 60/40 split, or an 80/20 split.
Additionally, utility holes 56 are provided in each side flange 46 of each side panel 16. Utility holes 56 are not meant for assembly purposes but rather to provide attachment points within modular structure 10 from which to hang plants, for example.
With reference to Figure 11, modular structure 10c is shown partially exploded. Door panels 21, which make up door 20 is shown next to first face panels 13.
With reference now to Figures 12 and 13, base 56 is shown in unexploded and exploded states. Beams 58 are stacked in pairs such that at one end, a portion of a first beam 58 overlaps the second beam 58. At the other end, a portion of the second beam 58 overlaps the first beam 58. When assembled, as seen in Figure 13, four such pairs are positioned around the base of modular structure 10 pegs 60 are passed through the overlapping portions of adjacent pairs, and into the ground. Beams 58 are preferably a bio-treated wood.
In conjunction with the modularity and ease of assembly of the present invention, it is preferred that users purchase modular structure 10 online from a website that allows them to customise a modular structure according to their specific needs (size, type, colour, material, additional features, etc.).
Upon completion of the order, an unassembled modular structure is sent to the purchaser where it is to be assemble by the purchaser himself or herself. Additionally, beams 58 are preferably part of the packaging in which the un-assembled structure is shipped. In this way, packaging waste is reduced.
For its low cost, fibreglass is preferred for commercial applications.
However, for special cases in which a modular structure 10 is required with a lighter weight and greater strength, carbon-epoxy or aramid fibre composites are preferable. Such special cases include, for example, a temporary military barracks.
Modular structure 10 has a number of different applications. When made of transparent fibreglass, structure 10 serves readily as a greenhouse, for growing plants beyond the regular growing season. Indeed, by properly moulding the curvature of panels 13, 15 and 16, a focusing lens effect can be obtained to increase the incident light received within the structure. For example, secondary curvature of the panel can be controlled to heat the interior of the structure.
If an opaque composite is used, modular structure 10 can serve shed, garage or storage space.
With reference now to Figure 6, a second embodiment of the present invention is illustrated. Modular structure 10a comprises much the same elements as shown in Figures 1 to 5, with the addition of openable louvers 34 for allowing, for example, ventilation.
Figure 7 illustrates a third embodiment of the present invention dubbed the "hybrid" design 10b. This hybrid design comprises two openable roof portions 38, similar in structure to the louvered embodiment illustrated in Figure 6. The roof portions 38 are made from transparent composite, such as fibreglass, while the remainder of hybrid modular structure 10b is made from an opaque composite. This design is well suited for housing an outdoor hot tub, which would allow users to open the roof for ventilation, or simply gaze through the transparent roof. The hybrid structure 10b can also be equipped with a mosquito screen.
In use, both the louvers 34 and openable roof portions 38 can be opened and closed manually, or by pneumatic or electro-mechanical actuators.
Such methods are commonly known in the art and will therefore not be discussed further here.
Figure 8 illustrates a fourth embodiment of the present invention meant for installation adjacent to an existing structure. Modular structure 10c can be made from the same panels at previously-discussed embodiments, but only includes one half of the components. Open side 40 is positioned to engage a pre-existing wall and attach thereto in much the same way it would the other half of modular structure 10.
With reference now to Figures 9, 10 and 11, the assembly of a modular structure according to the present invention will be discussed.
Figure 9 illustrates in detail the engagement of a corner front face panel 13a with a corner side panel 16a. Between corner panels 13a and 16a, a gasket 42 is positioned. Gasket 42 is made of an elastomeric material, such as rubber, to account for physical changes in the structure due to changes in temperature or shifting of the ground upon which it is installed.
Gasket 42 is sandwiched between side flanges 44 and 46, extending laterally from corner panels 13a and 16a, respectively. Corner panels 13a and 16a are affixed with fastening means 48, for example stainless steel bolts, engaging holes 49. Additional gaskets 42 can also be installed between any or all of the structure's adjoining panels.
Side panel 16 comprises a similar side flange 44 extending laterally from the other side of curvature 32. Pairs of side flanges 44 from adjacent side panels 16 are fixed together in the same way as described above, as are the first and the second face panels 13 and 15, and door panels 21.
Additionally, lower flanges 50 and 52 of panels 16a and 13a, respectively, are illustrated. Flange 50 is common to all side panels 16, and equivalent to flange 17, mentioned above. In a preferred embodiment, side panels 16 are symmetrical and have neither an "up" nor a "down". This simplifies the assembly of modular structure 10.
Figure 10 illustrates in detail an exploded of view the louvered construction of the second embodiment of the present invention. Louver 34 hingedly attaches to opposite side panel 16 via flanges 17 and hinge (or hinges) 54.
Hinge 54 is preferably a stainless steel piano hinge. A similar hinge is used to attach door 20 to first face 12.
Whereas side panels 16 are connected end-to-end forming an arched section of 180 , the louvered section, as shown in Figures 6 and 10, replaces one the 90 side panels 16 with louver 34 and louver base 36. In the example illustrated herein, the louver and louver base are of equal sizes, each being half of a regular side panel 16. It is to be understood however that other configurations are possible, for example a 60/40 split, or an 80/20 split.
Additionally, utility holes 56 are provided in each side flange 46 of each side panel 16. Utility holes 56 are not meant for assembly purposes but rather to provide attachment points within modular structure 10 from which to hang plants, for example.
With reference to Figure 11, modular structure 10c is shown partially exploded. Door panels 21, which make up door 20 is shown next to first face panels 13.
With reference now to Figures 12 and 13, base 56 is shown in unexploded and exploded states. Beams 58 are stacked in pairs such that at one end, a portion of a first beam 58 overlaps the second beam 58. At the other end, a portion of the second beam 58 overlaps the first beam 58. When assembled, as seen in Figure 13, four such pairs are positioned around the base of modular structure 10 pegs 60 are passed through the overlapping portions of adjacent pairs, and into the ground. Beams 58 are preferably a bio-treated wood.
In conjunction with the modularity and ease of assembly of the present invention, it is preferred that users purchase modular structure 10 online from a website that allows them to customise a modular structure according to their specific needs (size, type, colour, material, additional features, etc.).
Upon completion of the order, an unassembled modular structure is sent to the purchaser where it is to be assemble by the purchaser himself or herself. Additionally, beams 58 are preferably part of the packaging in which the un-assembled structure is shipped. In this way, packaging waste is reduced.
Figures 14 to 16 illustrate a specific example of the present invention with relevant dimensions. Side panels 16, first face panels 13 and second face panels 15 are each 2 feet in width. Semi-circular first face 12 has a radius of 96 inches and base 56 has a thickness of 2 inches. In addition, fans 60 and 62 have been installed in first and second faces 12 and 14, respectively.
With specific reference to Figure 14, double and triple glazed panels 64 and 66 are shown. Manufactured in the same manner as side panels 16, the double and triple glazed panels 64 and 66 can be used to improve the thermal insulation of the modular structure. In addition, a gas can be inserted between two of the layers to filter incoming light, or, again, improve thermal insulation.
