Definitions

  • the present invention relates to expandable flat pack modules for dwellings.
  • the invention also relates to dwellings having a pitched roof which are able to be constructed from an expandable flat pack module.
  • Flat pack modules which are able to be expanded into dwellings are particularly advantageous because they enable dwellings or buildings to be stored in a compacted configuration when not required.
  • dwellings that are able to be quickly erected at non-specialized sites, for example, special events, construction projects, disaster zones, and the like.
  • the dwelling or building is able to be returned to its compact storage configuration to enable it to be stored for use for another occasion.
  • a pitched roof enables water to be easily shed from the roof in times of rain.
  • a pitched roof enables the dwelling or building to be provided with guttering which collects rain water for capture in a storage tank, thereby assisting in the provision of a potable water supply.
  • a pitched roof means that the dwelling need not be placed on its footings or foundation with extreme accuracy, as is required in the situation where, for example, a shipping container, or other "box" is used as a pseudo dwelling.
  • the genesis of the present invention is a desire to provide a flat pack module which can be expanded into an erected dwelling where the erected dwelling has a pitched roof.
  • a pitched roof expandable flat pack module said module being expandable between a first compact storage configuration and a second erected dwelling configuration, having a base comprising a floor having a floor area, said pitched roof having a ridge and an area projected onto a horizontal plane which projected area is substantially the same as the area of the floor and being located above said base, a pair of opposite end walls each pivoted to said base and movable between a compact position in which said walls are pivoted towards each other and lie substantially parallel to said base, and a use position in which said end walls are each substantially perpendicular to said base and extend between said roof and base, a plurality of stub supports arranged around the periphery of said base and each having a substantially identical length sufficient to support the base of a like module and maintain the base of said like module closely spaced from said pitched roof ridge.

  • a flat pack module 1 has a pitched roof 2 having a ridge 3. Located at the four corners of module 1 are four stub uprights 5. As seen in Fig. 2, a stack 7 of like modules 1 is able to be formed by placing the stub Uprights of an upper module immediately above the stub uprights 5 of a lower module. It will be apparent that the height of the stub uprights 5 exceeds the height of the ridge 3 and thus the pitched roof of each lower module 1 clears the floor 8 of the immediately adjacent upper module. As seen in Fig. 3, the pitched roof 2 can be lifted by ropes 9 attached to a crane (not illustrated). Interconnecting the floor 8 and roof 2 are two concertina like side walls 10 which have a central, substantially horizontal, pivot line 11. The walls 10 are connected to the roof 2 and floor 8 by means of piano hinges 12 (shown in Fig. 14).

  • a third form of erection of the module 1 is illustrated in Figs. 5 and 8-10.
  • the floor 8 is provided with a rotary bobbin 18 which extends from one end of the module to another and which is provided with a rotary mechanism 19 as seen in Fig. 9 which enables the rotary bobbin 18 to be rotated.
  • Schematically illustrated in Fig. 10 are two erection cables 21 and 22 which extend between the pitched roof 2 (not illustrated in Fig.

  • the modules forming two of the extended dwellings 55 can be placed one above the other, as well as alongside each other to create a multi-storey dwelling 75 in which the pitched roofs 2 of the lower storey are spaced from the floors 8 of the upper storey. Access is gained to the upper storey via means of stairs 77.
  • a dwelling can be made from two of the modules 61 ; two of the modules 61 and two of the modules 41; five of the modules 71 and two of the modules 61; and so on.
  • the side and end walls are preferably made from two outer lays of sheet steel which sandwich a layer of polystyrene form.
  • Seals between adjacent panels are preferably formed from pairs of rubber O-rings and like arrangements which trap a small body of air to form the desired seal.
  • the hollow channels 25 of the side wall provide a suitable conduit through which flexible electrical cables 8 (as seen in Fig. 17) can be passed between the roof 2 and floor 8 via the side walls 10.
  • the module 1 can be pre-wired with all electrical cabling for power outlets in the walls and light fittings in the ceiling, and appropriate switches.

Abstract

L'invention porte sur un module en bloc plat expansible (1) ayant un toit incliné (2). Dans une configuration de stockage, plusieurs de ces modules (1) peuvent former un empilement compact (7) de modules. Plusieurs supports de goujons (5) sont disposés autour de la périphérie de la base (8), ayant chacun une longueur sensiblement identique suffisante pour supporter la base (8) d'un module similaire (1) et maintenir la base (8) du module similaire (1) étroitement espacée du faîte (3) du toit incliné (2). Chaque module (1) peut être érigé par soulèvement du toit incliné (2) au-dessus de la base (8) du module. De préférence, deux parois d'extrémité (13) montées à pivotement sur la base sont prévues. De préférence, sont également prévues deux parois latérales (10), ayant chacune une charnière à piano centrale, horizontale et pliable vers l'intérieur (12), et reliées de manière pivotante à la fois au toit (7) et à la base (8). Différents procédés de montage et configurations d'habitation sont également décrits.
