Definitions

  • My invention relates to an EXPANSIBLE INHABITATION MODULE destined to supersede conventional hand-made houses that are built on permanent sites and are aggregated to the soil.
  • this inhabitation module can be moved to other sites according to the owner's conveniences.
  • the invention was conceived for the easy coupling of other modules in order to increase space.
  • trailers and/or containers can be coupled and used in construction parks or as a temporary dwelling, but are technically different from this invention, which is for permanent inhabitation.
  • Attached to the body are walls, floors, ceilings, and roof of the expansible system of the module.
  • the inhabitation module is not aggregated to the soil, therefore having no need of foundations.
  • This semi-rigid and self-sustained inhabitation module has earthquake resistance against all vibrations within the Richter's scale range, which characteristic also makes it possible to install the inhabitation module on floaters, hulls, or columns.
  • the module can be packed back into its main body (original form) for transportation.
  • the invention creates a new system of industrial mass-production, with standard quality and low cost, which has never existed in the world so far. This mass-production can reach thousands of daily units and will reduce civilization shelter need. For 1991, the world demographic growth, as per UNESCO's publications, is around a quarter of a million souls for every sunset. Brief Description of the Drawings
  • Fig. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 show the perspective view of the EXPANSIBLE INHABITATION MODULE:
  • Fig. 7 - Shows the expansible side wall inside the body of the cargo container in vertical position (21), the folded floor in vertical position (22) , and the expansible roof pieces (25) over the fixed roof, which are so packed for transportation purposes.
  • Fig. 8 - Shows the folded front and rear walls (23, 24) inside the body of the cargo container.
  • Fig. 9 - Shows the position of the upper (27) and lower (28) rollers as set for displacement of the expansible side wall.
  • Fig. 10 - Shows the lifting/lowering system of the folding floor, making use of steel ropes, tracked by a winch (26) installed in the body.
  • Fig. 11 Shows several panel formats used to make the walls, in metallic, wooden, and glass plates, with windows, doors, vents, etc.
  • Fig. 12 - Shows one of several suggested architectural views of a completely mounted, ready-to-use Expansible Inhabitation Module.
  • Fig. 13 - Shows the lifting/lowering system of the cargo container from/to the transportation unit.
  • the invention can be made of metallic structure, ceramic, plastic materials or whatever, resembling a container. It has three sides or walls (side, front and rear), floors, ceilings, and roof, all rigidly welded or screwed, as shown in Fig. 1.
  • the walls are made in cage form, the open spaces of which are filled by standard panels, having two faces (internal/external) that can be made of metallic, plastic, ceramic, wooden plates, etc. Panels for floors, windows, glasses or entirely closed walls can be exchanged as shown in Fig. 11 in order to modify the internal/external display.
  • the open side (20) of the main body (Fig. 1) stores the expansible folded floor (22), the expansible side wall (21).
  • the folded floor (Fig. 2) is linked to the fixed floor by hinges (20) in the main body (Fig. 1).
  • the expansible front and rear walls (Figs. 3 and 4) are linked to the main body by hinges, and are folded as shown in Fig. 8 (23 and 24).
  • the expansible roof (Fig. 6) is made of several pieces of light structure and are displaced from the fixed roof on top of the main body to the upper par t of the expanded walls (front, rear, side).
  • the roof pieces are screwed to each other, thus making it a strong and solid structure.
  • the expanded parts (floor, walls and roof) are firmly screwed, thus giving resistance to the whole body of inhabitation module. Gaskets and plastic products are used to seal the linked parts.
  • Fig. 12 shows the Expansible Inhabitation Module as an architectural suggestion.
  • a hydraulic system of jacks (30) can be used to load/unload the cargo from/to the transportation unit.
  • Retractable metallic arms are found inside the floor basement to give support to the main body when jacks are used.

Abstract

L'invention se rapporte à un module d'habitation extensible qui est plié de façon à présenter la forme d'une structure transportable (figure 1) telle qu'un conteneur à marchandises. A l'intérieur de la structure transportable sont stockés un plancher plié extensible (22), et des parois latérales extensibles (21). Le plancher plié (figure 2) est relié au plancher fixe par des charnières (20) à l'intérieur de la structure transportable, et les parois avant et arrière extensibles (figures 3 et 4) sont reliées à la structure transportable par des charnières. Le déplacement de la paroi latérale extensible (figure 9) est effectué par des roulettes supérieures (27) et inférieures (28) dont la voie de roulement est située sur la partie supérieure des parois avant et arrière pliantes et sur le plancher déployé. Le toit extensible (figure 6) est déplacé pour venir coiffer la structure principale transportable. La partie déployée est assemblée par des vis et scellée par des joints d'étanchéité et par des éléments en plastique. Les systèmes de câblage électrique, de chauffage et de plomberie sont incorporés dans le plancher et dans les panneaux des parois. On peut alors installer la structure semi-rigide ainsi réalisée et la monter sur des pieds réglables (29) afin d'en assurer l'assise horizontale sur des terrains irréguliers.
