[0034] A modular house building system (10) is comprised of a wide variety of pre-constructed, pre-assembled wall and floor modules so that a house of any size and shape can be constructed.
[0035] For example, figs. 2a-d show wall modules (14, 14', 14" 14") that have different width and as such, can give a precision down to a single foot in the length one desires for a wall section.
[0036] All modules, except for floor support modules (28) have the same elements in common. That is horizontal planks (16) and vertical planks (18) that define the outer perimeter of the module. A third element are the interstitial planks (20) that ensure strong structural integrity to the modules.
8 [0037] Figs, 3-4 show variants of window panel modules (24, 25) to cover all needs. Figs. 5 show variants of door panel modules (26).
[0038] Fig. 6 shows the open truss structure of the floor support modules (28) which can also be used for roof support.
5[0039] Fig. 7 Shows a plurality of connected floor panel modules (30) laid over a plurality of connected floor support modules (28).
[0040] Fig. 10 shows how the floor panel modules (30) are connected together by way of overlapping planks (32) which linearly overlap two floor panel modules (30) so as to bridge them together.
10[0041] The floor panel module (30) consists in a triad of open trusses (34) that are parallel and kept at a relative distance by way of holding members (36). Each floor panel module (30) has two opposite ends (38) which are made of flat pieces of wood having notches (40) configured and sized to allow the passage of the overlapping planks (32).
[0042] The modules are mechanically fastened together using common mechanical fasteners such as nails, bolts, screws and can also use adhesives. The modules can be used for building ships and any of a
9 variety of constructions. Because each module is factory assembled, better quality control can be had. The factory assembly method follows the building code.
[0043] As to a further discussion of the manner of usage and operation of the present invention, the same should be apparent from the above description. Accordingly, no further discussion relating to the manner of usage and operation will be provided.
[0044] With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of the invention, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by the present invention.
15[0045] Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the invention. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the invention to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the invention.
