Description

MODULAR CONSTRUCTION THAT HAS A STEEL TRANSPORT CONTAINER NUCLEUS DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION It is known to convert steel transport containers that have been removed from service to habitable constructions. Such an arrangement is presented in U.S. Patent 4,854,094 dated August 8, 1989. Although the construction presented in the aforementioned patent is satisfactory for its purposes, it has certain disadvantages, in that it is not prefabricated but is built in the place of construction, which increases the cost of construction. The constructions are also provided with pointed roofs, which increases the cost of construction, also, the spacers used to convert the interior sky and the side walls to the internal surface of the container, does not use the corrugated configuration of the container or container steel, thus reducing the internal dimension of the construction. In addition, fasteners or connectors extend through pre-drilled holes, to secure the outer and inner cover to the corrugated walls, giving a challenge to the insulating integrity of the construction. To overcome these disadvantages with the constructions having steel cores of transport containers, the modular construction of the present invention has been realized.

The construction of the present invention essentially comprises a steel transport container having corrugated side walls, and a roof having transversely extending reinforcement protrusions. Vertically extending wooden strips are adhered within the groove portions of the corrugated walls to provide supports where the internal insulation can be fixed. An outer cover resistant to the top, is fixed in the portions - vertex, of the corrugated side walls, and an inner wall cover is fixed to the insulation layer. Wood strips that extend transversely, are placed with and are fixed to the protuberances of the roof to provide supports to fix a layer of sky insulation, where the roof of the sky is fixed. The exterior roof of the container is provided with a plastic roof hood to adapt to the configuration of the container or container roof. Adequate windows and a prefabricated door are provided in the openings cut in the walls of the container and the interior is provided with support walls to divide the floor space into several rooms, such as bathroom, kitchen, bedroom, etc. The construction of the present invention is prefabricated and then transported to the construction site, during the fabrication of the construction, the double steel doors of the container remain open to facilitate the interior completion of the construction including the plumbing fittings, after of which the doors are welded to form an end wall of the construction that is provided with an interior and exterior finish. By prefabricating the construction of the invention, an interior and exterior construction is provided. By prefabricating the construction according to the invention, a less expensive construction is provided. Placing wooden wall strips in the groove parts of the side walls and in the roof protuberances does not compromise the interior dimensions of the construction, and by not using mechanical fasteners for the interior and exterior walls in the corrugated walls, no the insulating integrity of the construction is put at risk. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIGURE 1 is a conventional view of a steel container for transport; FIGURE 2 is a perspective view of the container shown in FIG. 1, having portions removed to provide door and window openings; FIGURE 3 is a perspective view of the finished modular construction; FIFURA 4, is a fragmentary perspective view of an interior corner; FIGURE 5 is a top plan view of the construction; FIGURE 6 is a view taken along line 6-6 of FIG. 3; THE FIFTH 7, is a view taken along line 7-7, of Fig. 3; FIGURE 8 is a fragmentary sectional view of the lower wall portion and the floor of the construction; FIGURE 9 is a view along line 9-9 of FIG. 5; FIGURE 10 is a view taken along line 10-10 of FIG. 3; FIGURE 11 is a view taken along line 11-11 of FIG. 9. Referring to the drawings and more particularly to FIGS. 1, 2, 6 and 8, the conventional steel transport container 1, provides the core for the modular construction of the present invention and includes vertical tubular members the, at the four corners of the container and longitudinal tubular members lb, welded to the The upper ends of the corner members, longitudinal channels, are attached to the lower ends of the tubular members, which are fixed to the floor ld, of the container. The corrugated side walls are welded to the tubular members ib, and to the channels 1, and a roof lf, with reinforcement protrusions lg, is attached to the longitudinal tubular members lb. The end walls of the container are of a similar construction and include tubular transverse members lb, welded at each end to a tubular corner member la. The end wall shown in Fig. 1 is constructed to provide doors with a hinge li, while the opposite end wall is fixed and includes a steel sheet lj, welded to the tubular members lh, which extend transversely. Co or seen in Figs. 9 and 10, the vertical wooden strips 2, adhere within the 3d outward pointing portions, from the side walls it, an insulating layer 4, is attached to the wooden strips 2, and the portions in point or vertex that look inward 4a, from the side walls le. A cover 5, inner wall is applied to the inner surface of the insulation layer 4. Referring to Figs. 2, 6 and 9, the roof of the construction includes wooden strips 6, transverse strips contained within and fixed to the roof reinforcement protrusions lg. Each end of the wooden strips 6 is supported on longitudinally extending corner wooden strips attached to the longitudinal tubular members lb of the transport container. An insulation layer 8 is fixed to the wooden strips 6, and an inner cover 9 is applied to the insulating layer 8 to provide the construction sky. Instead of using an articulated roof, as presented in the aforementioned patent, the roof exterior lf, is provided with a plastic hood 10, molded to adapt to the configuration of the roof If, of the container or container. As seen in Fig. 2, suitable openings 11 are cut in a side wall of the container adapted to receive prefabricated advantages 12, as shown in Figs 3 and 7, and a prefabricated door 13, as seen in Figs. Fig. 3. The floor of the construction is shown in Fig. 8, where the floor of the container 14 provides a sub-floor for a finished floor 15. As seen in Figs. 4, 5, 9 and 11, the interior of the construction can be divided into several rooms by heads 16, and wall supports 17, to which the internal walls 18 are fixed. After the interior work is completed, including the installation of the kitchen articles 19, and the bathroom 20, the hinge doors of the container 11, are closed and welded. The outer walls of the container are covered with an outer cover and on the inside with a layer of laminated insulation and an inner wall cover. The finished construction or house, as shown in Fig. 3, can be transported to a construction site. From the foregoing description, it will be apparent to the technicians that the modular construction according to the invention, which has a steel core of transport container, is relatively inexpensive, and that when placing the wooden strips 2, in the inner grooves of the corrugated side walls it, and the transverse wooden strips 6, in the protrusions of ceiling lg, the interior dimensions of the construction are not compromised, and when adhering the insulation layers 4 and 8, to the strips 2 and 6, and the outer cover 3, to the vertices 3a, which face outwards from the side walls corrugated, the use of mechanical fasteners is avoided, thereby maintaining the insulating integrity of the construction. It is understood that the form of the invention shown and described should be taken as a preferred example, and that several changes can be made without departing from the scope of the invention.
