Description

Module de cellule habitable et cellule habitable correspondanteLiving cell module and corresponding living cell
La présente invention concerne un module de cel- Iule habitable et une cellule habitable et transportable correspondante .The present invention relates to a habitable cell module and a corresponding habitable and transportable cell.
ARRIERE PLAN DE L7I-WENTIONBACKGROUND OF THE 7 I-WENTION
Une telle cellule habitable peut servir, en étant associée de façon indémontable à des moyens de son dépla- cernent par voie terrestre, à la réalisation d'habitats mobiles tels que des caravanes, camping-cars et autres mobil homes ou constituer un habitat fixe pouvant être déposé temporairement ou à demeure dans un lieu pour constituer un abri, un bungalow ou d'autres habitations de ce type. Une telle cellule habitable peut donc être notamment utilisée, seule ou en association avec d'autres, à des fins touristiques en tant que résidence de loisir, professionnelle en tant que local itinérant ou à des fins humanitaires en tant qu'hébergement d'urgence ou local médical pour des populations sinistrées et, plus généralement, pour tout type d'hébergement ou de local ne nécessitant pas une construction sur fondations.Such a habitable cell can be used, by being indemontably associated with means of its displacement by terrestrial way, with the realization of mobile habitats such as caravans, motorhomes and other mobil homes or to constitute a fixed habitat which can be temporarily or permanently in a place to provide shelter, a bungalow or other such dwellings. Such a living cell may therefore be used, either alone or in association with others, for tourist purposes as a leisure residence, as a traveling local or for humanitarian purposes as an emergency shelter or local medical for disaster victims and, more generally, for any type of accommodation or premises not requiring construction on foundations.
Un inconvénient des cellules habitables et transportables connues de ce type résulte de l'exiguïté, no- tamment en largeur, du volume. Cette exiguïté est la conséquence du gabarit routier interdisant, hors transport exceptionnel, la circulation de véhicules excédant deux mètres cinquante de large, volume transporté compris . II existe de telles cellules habitables comprenant une ossature de base associée à des parties extensibles. Ces parties extensibles peuvent comporter, selon les cas :A disadvantage of the known habitable and transportable cells of this type results from the smallness, especially in width, of the volume. This small size is the consequence of the road gauge prohibiting, except for exceptional transport, the circulation of vehicles exceeding two meters fifty wide, volume transported included. There are such living cells comprising a base frame associated with extensible parts. These extensible parts may comprise, as the case may be:
- des panneaux rigides dépliables, - des structures métalliques articulées associées à une toile ou à des panneaux rigides,- foldable rigid panels, articulated metal structures associated with a canvas or rigid panels,
- des caissons reliés à l'ossature par des glissières pour coulisser à la manière d'un tiroir, - des cellules habitables additionnelles et amovibles accolées à la cellule habitable principale.- Boxes connected to the frame by slides to slide in the manner of a drawer, - additional cells and removable cells contiguous to the main living cell.
Pour pallier à l'exiguïté des cellules habitables transportables, des recherches ont aussi porté sur la polyvalence de fonctions du mobilier intérieur : table de repas escamotable pour devenir sommier, banquette convertible en matelas, tables et sièges escamotables, lit re- levable au plafond...In order to make up for the small size of transportable habitable cells, research also focused on the versatility of interior furniture functions: folding dining table to become bed base, sofa convertible into mattresses, folding tables and chairs, ceiling bed. ..
L'espace ainsi gagné peut être utilisé comme espace de vie ou volume de rangement . Avec toutes ces solutions, le gain d'espace de vie ou de volume de rangement des cellules habitables se fait au prix de manœuvres souvent compliquées et n'est rendu possible que par l'utilisation de mécanismes coûteux et complexes, dont la fiabilité risque en outre de se révéler faible.The space thus gained can be used as living space or storage space. With all these solutions, the gain of living space or storage space of living cells is often complicated and is made possible only by the use of expensive and complex mechanisms, the reliability of which in besides being weak.
OBJET DE L'INVENTIONOBJECT OF THE INVENTION
Un but de l ' invention est de proposer un moyen permettant d'obtenir de manière simple une cellule habitable rigide et extensible. RESUME DE L'INVENTIONAn object of the invention is to provide a means for obtaining in a simple manner a rigid and extensible living cell. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
A cet effet, on prévoit, selon l'invention, un module de cellule habitable, comprenant une ossature sensiblement parallélépipédique, ayant au moins deux côtés ouverts dont l'un reçoit une coque pourvue d'une ouver- ture délimitée par un bord périphérique qui est relié au côté ouvert par un axe vertical de rotation pour pivoter entre une position escamotée de rangement dans laquelle l'ouverture est orientée vers l'extérieur de l'ossature et une position sortie dans laquelle l'ouverture est orientée vers l'intérieur de l'ossature, un panneau étant monté sur l'ossature pour être mobile entre une position baissée d'occultation de l'ouverture de la coque en position escamotée et une position relevée dans laquelle le panneau s'étend à cheval sur une partie supérieure de l'ossature et sur la coque en position déployée.For this purpose, according to the invention, there is provided a living cell module, comprising a substantially parallelepipedic frame, having at least two open sides, one of which receives a shell provided with an opening delimited by a peripheral edge which is connected to the open side by a vertical axis of rotation to pivot between a retracted storage position in which the opening is oriented towards the outside of the frame and an extended position in which the opening is oriented towards the inside of the frame; the frame, a panel being mounted on the frame to be movable between a lowered position of concealment of the opening of the hull in the retracted position and a raised position in which the panel straddles an upper part of the frame and on the hull in the deployed position.
Une extension du module de cellule habitable est ainsi réalisée par déplacement du panneau de sa position abaissée vers sa position relevée et par pivotement de la coque de sa position escamotée de rangement à sa position sortie d'habitation. Le panneau assure une double fonction, à savoir une fonction de fermeture de la coque en position escamotée de rangement lorsqu'il est dans sa position abaissée et, lorsqu'il est dans sa position relevée, une fonction de protection de la partie supérieure de la coque et de l'ossature notamment contre les agressions climatiques (rayons solaires, pluie, neige, grêle...) .An extension of the habitable cell module is thus achieved by moving the panel from its lowered position to its raised position and by pivoting the hull from its retracted storage position to its home position. The panel has a dual function, namely a closing function of the hull in the retracted storage position when in its lowered position and, when in its raised position, a protection function of the upper part of the hull. shell and frame especially against climatic aggressions (solar rays, rain, snow, hail ...).
Une cellule habitable peut être réalisée à partir d'un ou plusieurs modules. Ainsi, l'invention a également pour objet une cellule habitable comprenant au moins deux modules latéraux, chaque module latéral étant conforme au module précédent et ayant une ossature pourvue, à l'opposé du côté ouvert recevant la coque, d'un côté ouvert d'association par lequel les modules latéraux sont reliés l'un à l'autre.A habitable cell can be made from one or more modules. Thus, the invention also relates to a living cell comprising at least two lateral modules, each lateral module being in accordance with the preceding module and having a frame provided, opposite the open side receiving the shell, an open side d association by which the side modules are connected to each other.
D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention ressortiront à la lecture de la description qui suit d'un mode de réalisation particulier non limitatif de l'invention.Other features and advantages of the invention will become apparent on reading the following description of a particular non-limiting embodiment of the invention.

DESCRIPTION DETAILLEE DE L'INVENTION Sur les figures 1 à 5, il est représenté une cellule habitable généralement désignée en 1 qui est consti- tuée de deux modules, généralement désignés en 2, assemblés l'un à l'autre (les modules sont identiques, les lettres A et B ont été associées à la référence 2 pour les distinguer sur les figures) .DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION In FIGS. 1 to 5, there is shown a habitable cell generally designated 1, which consists of two modules, generally designated 2, assembled together (the modules are identical , the letters A and B have been associated with reference 2 to distinguish them in the figures).
Chaque module 2 comprend une ossature, générale- ment désignée en 3, possédant une forme générale en parallélépipède à base demi carrée et comportant des poutrelles 4 qui sont assemblées les unes aux autres pour former les arêtes du parallélépipède.Each module 2 comprises a framework, generally designated 3, having a generally parallelepiped shape with a half square base and having beams 4 which are assembled to each other to form the edges of the parallelepiped.
On remarquera que quatre des poutrelles 4 sont représentées sur la figure en trait mixte. Ces poutrelles 4 servent à la rigidification de l'ossature 3 lors du transport et sont retirées lorsque deux modules sont assemblés l'un à l'autre pour former une cellule ainsi que cela sera détaillé ci-après. L'ossature 3 est ici réali- sée par assemblage mécano-soudé. D'autres modes de réalisation sont bien entendu envisageables.It will be noted that four of the beams 4 are shown in the dotted line. These beams 4 serve to stiffen the frame 3 during transport and are removed when two modules are assembled to each other to form a cell as will be detailed below. The frame 3 is made here by mechanically welded assembly. Other embodiments are of course conceivable.
L ' ossature 3 comprend ici quatre côtés ouverts dont un, référencé 5.1, reçoit une coque généralement désignée en 6 délimitée latéralement par une paroi en demi cylindre qui est fermée en haut par un toit 7 en demi rond et en bas par un fond 8 également en demi rond. La coque 6 possède ainsi une ouverture 9 qui est délimitée par un bord périphérique 10 de la coque 6 de manière à s ' étendre dans un plan diamétral de la coque 6. Le bord périphérique 10 est relié aux poutrelles 4 supérieure et inférieure délimitant le côté ouvert 5.1 par un axe vertical de rotation 11 s ' étendant en saillie du toit 7 et du fond 8 de la coque 6. La coque 6 est ainsi mobile entre une position escamotée de rangement dans laquelle l'ouverture 9 est tournée vers l'extérieur de l'ossature 3 et une position sortie dans laquelle l'ouverture 9 est tournée vers l'intérieur de l'ossature 3. Dans cette dernière position, la coque 6 laisse libre l'espace intérieur de l'ossature 3. Dans ces deux positions, le bord périphérique 10 affleure la surface externe des poutrelles 4 délimitant le côté ouvert 5.1. La coque 6 est par exemple formée de deux parois demi-cylindriques emboîtées l'une dans l'autre. Un isolant est intercalé entre les deux parois de même que des éléments de renfort tels que des raidisseurs. Les parois sont dans le même matériau ou des matériaux différents. La paroi intérieure est par exemple obtenu par moulage d'une matière plastique et incorpore par exemple des étagères ou des formes raidisseu- ses directement issues de moulage. La paroi extérieure est par exemple en acier galvanisé. Le côté ouvert 5.2, opposé au côté ouvert 5.1, est destiné à rester ouvert et à être associé au côté ouvert 5.2 de l'autre module pour former la cellule habitable. Les autres côtés ouverts 5.3 et 5.4 de l'ossatureThe frame 3 here comprises four open sides, one of which, referenced 5.1, receives a hull generally designated at 6 delimited laterally by a half-cylinder wall which is closed at the top by a roof 7 half round and bottom by a bottom 8 also in half round. The shell 6 thus has an opening 9 which is delimited by a peripheral edge 10 of the shell 6 so as to extend in a diametral plane of the shell 6. The peripheral edge 10 is connected to the upper and lower beams 4 delimiting the side open 5.1 by a vertical axis of rotation 11 extending protruding from the roof 7 and bottom 8 of the shell 6. The shell 6 is thus movable between a retracted storage position in which the opening 9 is turned outwards of the framework 3 and an extended position in which the opening 9 is turned towards the inside of the framework 3. In this latter position, the shell 6 leaves the internal space of the framework 3 free. In these two positions, the peripheral edge 10 is flush with the outer surface of the beams 4 delimiting the open side 5.1. The shell 6 is for example formed of two semi-cylindrical walls nested one inside the other. An insulator is interposed between the two walls as well as reinforcing elements such as stiffeners. The walls are in the same material or different materials. The inner wall is for example obtained by molding a plastic material and incorporates, for example, shelves or stiffened shapes directly from molding. The outer wall is for example galvanized steel. The open side 5.2, opposite to the open side 5.1, is intended to remain open and to be associated with the open side 5.2 of the other module to form the living cell. The other open sides 5.3 and 5.4 of the framework
3 sont destinés à être équipés de panneaux rigides éventuellement pourvus d'ouvrants pour permettre l'accès des personnes à l ' intérieur de la cellule ou de surfaces transparentes et/ou translucides, éventuellement des fe- nêtres, permettant la pénétration des rayons lumineux assurant un éclairage naturel de l'intérieur de la cellule. L'ossature 3 possède un plancher métallique. L'ossature 3 est de préférence équipée d'un plancher à double-fond de manière à permettre le logement d'une ré- serve d'eau, d'une batterie, d'un réservoir pour les eaux usées... ou plus simplement pour constituer un vide sanitaire.3 are intended to be equipped with rigid panels optionally provided with openings to allow access for people inside the cell or transparent and / or translucent surfaces, possibly windows, allowing the penetration of the light rays ensuring natural lighting from inside the cell. The frame 3 has a metal floor. The frame 3 is preferably equipped with a double bottom floor so as to allow the housing of a water reserve, a battery, a tank for wastewater ... or more simply to create a crawl space.
La partie supérieure de l'ossature 3 comporte des panneaux transparent ou translucide permettant le passage de la lumière et intègre un mécanisme de relevage 12 d'un panneau 13 mobile entre une position d'occultation de l'ouverture 9 de la coque 6 en position de rangement, le panneau 13 étant alors plaqué contre la surface externe des poutrelles 4 du côté ouvert 5.1 et le bord périphéri- que 10 de la coque 6, et une position relevée dans laquelle le panneau 13 s'étend à cheval sur la partie supérieure de l ' ossature 3 et le toit 7 de la coque 6 en position sortie, le panneau 13 étant alors maintenu incliné et écarté par rapport à la partie supérieure de l ' ossa- ture 3. Le panneau 13 est relié à l'ossature 3 par deux bielles latérales 14 qui permettent son basculement entre ses deux positions. Le mécanisme de relevage 12 comprend ici une biellette 15 ayant une première extrémité, articulée au bord supérieur du panneau, et une deuxième ex- trémité qui est articulée sur la partie supérieure de l'ossature et qui est reliée à un lien 16 tel qu'une sangle ou un câble solidaire d'un treuil intégré dans la partie supérieure de l'ossature 3. Le mécanisme de relevage peut être actionné par un moteur électrique associé à un commutateur ou une télécommande, ou bien être purement mécanique et actionnable par une manivelle. La partie supérieure de l'ossature 3 est ici réalisée en matériau composite et rapportée sur les poutrelles supérieures de l ' ossature 3. Le panneau 13 est en métal, en bois, en matière plastique ou en matériau composite alvéolaire (et recouvert alors d'une peau superficielle) ou non.The upper part of the framework 3 comprises transparent or translucent panels allowing the passage of light and incorporates a lifting mechanism 12 of a panel 13 movable between a position of occultation of the opening 9 of the shell 6 in position storage, the panel 13 then being pressed against the outer surface of the beams 4 of the open side 5.1 and the peripheral edge 10 of the shell 6, and a raised position in which the panel 13 straddles the upper part of the frame 3 and the roof 7 of the shell 6 in the extended position, the panel 13 being then kept inclined and spaced with respect to the upper part of the frame 3. The panel 13 is connected to the frame 3 by two lateral rods 14 which allow it to tilt between its two positions. The lifting mechanism 12 here comprises a rod 15 having a first end, articulated to the upper edge of the panel, and a second end which is hinged to the upper part of the panel. the frame and which is connected to a link 16 such as a strap or a cable integral with a winch integrated in the upper part of the frame 3. The lifting mechanism can be actuated by an electric motor associated with a switch or a remote control, or be purely mechanical and actuable by a crank. The upper part of the framework 3 is here made of composite material and attached to the upper beams of the framework 3. The panel 13 is made of metal, wood, plastic or cellular composite material (and then covered with superficial skin) or not.
Un élément d' étanchéité, non représenté, équipe le bord périphérique 10 de la coque 6 pour permettre la réalisation d'une étanchéité entre ledit bord périphérique 10 de la coque 6 et, d'une part, le panneau 13 lorsque la coque 6 est en position escamotée de rangement et, d'autre part, avec les poutrelles 4 du côté ouvert 5.1 lorsque la coque 6 est en position sortie. Les poutrelles 4 du côté ouvert 5.1 sont également équipées de moyens d' étanchéité pour assurer l ' étanchéité de leur liaison au panneau 13 lorsque le panneau 13 en position abaissée est appliqué contre celles-ci.A sealing element, not shown, equips the peripheral edge 10 of the shell 6 to allow sealing to be achieved between said peripheral edge 10 of the shell 6 and, on the one hand, the panel 13 when the shell 6 is in the retracted storage position and, on the other hand, with the beams 4 of the open side 5.1 when the shell 6 is in the extended position. The beams 4 on the open side 5.1 are also equipped with sealing means to ensure the tightness of their connection to the panel 13 when the panel 13 in the lowered position is applied against them.
Un montage d'une cellule habitable telle que celle représentée aux figures 1 à 5 est obtenu en fixant l'un à l'autre les modules par leur côté 5.2 ou côté ouvert d'association. Une fois cette fixation réalisée, les poutrelles 4 servant de rigidificateurs pour le transport sont retirées. Les moyens de fixation sont ici des bou- Ions. Des éléments d' étanchéité sont intercalés entre les côtés ouverts d'association pour assurer une étanchéité entre les deux modules.A mounting of a living cell such as that shown in Figures 1 to 5 is obtained by attaching one to the other modules by their side 5.2 or open side of association. Once this fixation is made, the beams 4 serving as stiffeners for transport are removed. The fastening means here are bolts. Sealing elements are interposed between the open sides of association to ensure a seal between the two modules.
La cellule habitable ainsi formée peut être transportée sur le plateau d'un camion lorsque les coques 6 sont en position escamotée de rangement et les panneaux 13 sont abaissés sur celles-ci (figure 1) . Cette cellule habitable peut également être fixée de façon démontable ou indémontable sur une remorque pour former une caravane ou un véhicule de type camionnette à plateau pour former un camping-car.The living cell thus formed can be transported on the platform of a truck when the hulls 6 are in the retracted storage position and the panels 13 are lowered on these (Figure 1). This habitable cell can also be removably or releasably attached to a trailer to form a caravan or van-type vehicle plateau to form a camper.
Une fois la cellule habitable déposée à l'endroit où elle doit être utilisée, les panneaux 13 sont amenés en position relevée (figure 2) et les coques 6 sont amenées en position déployée (figures 3 et 4) . La cellule habitable installée est représentée sur la figure 5.Once the habitable cell deposited where it is to be used, the panels 13 are brought to the raised position (Figure 2) and the shells 6 are brought into the deployed position (Figures 3 and 4). The installed living cell is shown in Figure 5.
On notera qu'en position relevée les panneaux sont écartés de la partie supérieure de l'ossature 3 de manière à permettre le passage de la lumière vers l'intérieur de l'ossature et également la ventilation na- turelle de la cellule, et sont inclinés pour faciliter l'écoulement de la pluie et éventuellement de la neige (empêchant une accumulation de celle-ci sur les panneaux qui pourrait conduire à une détérioration des panneaux sous le poids de la neige accumulée) . On pourra bien évidemment prévoir des mécanismes de verrouillage, par exemple des serrures à clé, interdisant le relevage des panneaux 13.Note that in raised position the panels are spaced from the upper part of the frame 3 so as to allow the passage of light into the frame and also the natural ventilation of the cell, and are inclined to facilitate the flow of rain and possibly snow (preventing an accumulation of it on the panels that could lead to a deterioration of the panels under the weight of the accumulated snow). It will obviously be possible to provide locking mechanisms, for example key locks, prohibiting the lifting of the panels 13.
Les coques 6 ont des dimensions suffisantes pour leur permettre de recevoir des meubles de rangement, un lit relevable, ou un canapé lit, des appareils électroménagers, des sanitaires...The hulls 6 have sufficient dimensions to allow them to receive storage furniture, a lift bed, or sofa bed, appliances, sanitary ...
La partie centrale de la cellule habitable peut être occupée par du mobilier amovible comme une table et des chaises rangées pour le transport dans l'autre coque par exemple ou être laissée libre pour la circulation des personnes .The central part of the living cell can be occupied by removable furniture such as a table and chairs arranged for transport in the other shell for example or be left free for the movement of people.
En référence à la figure 6, une cellule de plus larges dimensions est représentée. Cette cellule est réalisée au moyen de deux modules 2, tels que ceux décrits ci-dessus et appelés ici modules latéraux, dont les côtés ouverts d'association 5.2 sont reliés l'un à l'autre par un module intermédiaire 20 ayant une ossature 21 comportant deux côtés 22 opposés ouverts auxquels sont fixés les côtés ouverts d'association 5.2 des modules latéraux 2. Les autres côtés du module intermédiaire 20 peuvent être formés de panneaux pleins ou pourvus d'ouvrants.Referring to Figure 6, a larger cell is shown. This cell is made by means of two modules 2, such as those described above and here called side modules, whose sides open members 5.2 are connected to each other by an intermediate module 20 having a frame 21 having two open opposite sides 22 to which are fixed the open sides of association 5.2 side modules 2. The other sides of the intermediate module 20 may be formed of solid panels or provided with openings.
A la figure 7 est représentée une cellule habitable conforme à la figure 6 qui a été pourvue d'un étage habitable constitué de deux modules 2, tels que ceux dé- crits ci-dessus, accolés l'un à l'autre comme sur la figure 5 et montés sur la partie supérieure du module intermédiaire 20. Un escalier intérieur est prévu pour relier le module intermédiaire 20 à l'un des modules 2 de l'étage. Les modules 2 de l'étage sont orientés perpendi- culairement à ceux du sol pour que les panneaux 13 de ces derniers ne gênent pas le pivotement des coques 6 des modules 2 de l'étage.In FIG. 7 is shown a habitable cell according to FIG. 6 which has been provided with a habitable stage consisting of two modules 2, such as those described above, placed side by side as on the 5 and mounted on the upper part of the intermediate module 20. An internal staircase is provided to connect the intermediate module 20 to one of the modules 2 of the floor. The modules 2 of the floor are oriented perpendicularly to those of the ground so that the panels 13 of the latter do not hinder the pivoting of the shells 6 of the modules 2 of the floor.
La figure 8 représente une cellule habitable comme celle de la figure 7 mais dont le module intermé- diaire 30, plus large que le module 20, est pourvu d'un module latéral 2 sur chacun de ses côtés .FIG. 8 shows a habitable cell like that of FIG. 7 but whose intermediate module 30, wider than the module 20, is provided with a lateral module 2 on each of its sides.
Aux figures 9 et 10 est représentée une caravane formée d'un plateau 40 à roues sur lequel est montée une cellule habitable formée de cinq modules 2. II est possible de prévoir des galets roulants sous la cellule habitable afin de permettre son déchargement du plateau à roues . Le plateau à roues est équipé à cette fin de rampes d'accès 41.In Figures 9 and 10 is shown a caravan formed of a plate 40 with wheels on which is mounted a living cell formed of five modules 2. It is possible to provide rollers under the living cell to allow unloading the tray to wheels. The wheeled platform is equipped for this purpose with access ramps 41.
Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée au mode de réalisation décrit et on peut y apporter des variantes de réalisation sans sortir du cadre de l ' invention tel que défini par les revendications.Of course, the invention is not limited to the embodiment described and variations can be made without departing from the scope of the invention as defined by the claims.
Des capteurs photovoltaïques ou autres organes de récupération de l'énergie solaire, peuvent être fixés sur le panneau 13 pour être soumis au rayonnement solaire. Les capteurs photovoltaïques sont reliés à des batteries disposées par exemple sous le plancher de l'ossature.Photovoltaic sensors or other solar energy recovery members may be fixed on the panel 13 to be subjected to solar radiation. Photovoltaic sensors are connected to batteries arranged for example under the floor of the frame.
La forme générale des composants de la cellule habitable conforme à l'invention peut être différente de celle représentée. Le module intermédiaire peut ainsi avoir une forme hexagonale, octogonale ou autre.The general shape of the components of the living cell according to the invention may be different from that shown. The intermediate module can thus have a hexagonal, octagonal or other shape.
Les poutrelles de rigidification peuvent toutes être conservées lorsque les modules sont assemblés les uns aux autres . Les panneaux rigides peuvent avoir une forme plane ou en relief et notamment incurvée par exemple autour d'un axe vertical.The stiffening beams can all be preserved when the modules are assembled to each other. The rigid panels may have a flat or raised shape and in particular curved for example around a vertical axis.
On notera que l'ossature peut comprendre des réserves permettant le passage ou le logement d'éléments solidaires de la remorque ou du plateau sur laquelle ou lequel elle est montée, par exemple pour former un passage de roue .It will be noted that the framework may comprise reserves allowing the passage or the housing of elements integral with the trailer or the platform on which it is mounted, for example to form a wheel well.
D'autres agencements de modules sont réalisables : au moins un module latéral est fixé sur une partie supérieure du module intermédiaire pour former au moins un étage habitable, ou des modules intermédiaires peuvent être empilés. Other arrangements of modules are feasible: at least one lateral module is fixed on an upper part of the intermediate module to form at least one habitable floor, or intermediate modules can be stacked.
