Description
- This application is a continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 11/360,883, filed Feb. 23, 2006, entitled A Transportable Building Module With Two Structures, which is incorporated herein by reference.
- The present invention relates generally to transportable buildings, and in one aspect is especially applicable to transportable buildings that provide a second storey once installed at a building site.
- It is known to pre-construct houses or other buildings at a base yard and then to transport the buildings by road, either whole or in two or more modules, to an allotment. A transportable building is a very satisfactory means of providing a building in a more remote or difficult location where building expenses on site may be higher than elsewhere.
- A key challenge in the design of transportable buildings is the creation of a variety of pleasing designs within the strict dimensional limits set by road transport authorities. Due to these restrictions, transportable buildings have generally had to be designed with limited ceiling heights and/or low pitched roofs.
- A particular challenge in transportable building design is to provide a second storey. Australian patent application 10702/92 discloses a transportable house with separable lower and upper storey modules but the upper storey must be separately transported, which substantially increases the cost of the house relative to the floor area provided.
- A known compromise, in which the house is only partially pre-constructed, is to provide a steep sloping roof for the upper storey as a pair of sub-frames which hinge down onto the ceiling frame of the lower-storey. This avoids the need to transport an additional module and the roof sub-frames can be pivoted into position on site, but this approach involves a partial loss of the advantage of having a transportable house in the first place in that much of the upper storey must be constructed on site. A similar approach is evident in U.S. Pat. No. 5,209,030, in which a dormer frame structure is collapsible onto the top of a base module, and a roofing structure is provided as a separate element and is secured onto the base module during transport.
- Hinged sub-frames are also disclosed in Australian patents 688461 and 767231.
- It is an object of the invention, at least in one or more embodiments, to provide for a transportable building of a construction that provides a second storey once installed at a building site.
- The invention provides, in one aspect, a transportable building module, including:
-
- a first structure for defining a first enclosed space when erected at a building site;
- at least one elongate structural component having at least two elements that are relatively linearly slideable for linearly extending said structural component;
- wherein said at least one structural component is part of or attached to said first structure and is upright when said first structure is installed at the building site, whereupon said at least one structural component is linearly extensible to provide part of a second structure for defining a second enclosed space above said first space.
- In another aspect of the invention, there is provided a transportable building system, including:
-
- at least partially erecting a first structure for defining a first enclosed space, and forming, as part of or attached to said first structure, at least one elongate structural component having at least two elements that are relatively linearly slideable for linearly extending said structural component;
- transporting said first structure including said elongate structural component to a building site and there installing said first structure, with said elongate structural component upright; and
- linearly extending said elongate structural component and erecting a second structure, of which said elongate structural component provides part, defining a second enclosed space above said first space.
- Preferably, said two elements are members of respective wall frames for the first and second enclosed spaces. One of the wall frames may be an internal wall of the first structure. The wall frames may include wall panels, or wall panels may be installed after the second structure is erected.
- Preferably, after said structural component is linearly extended, the remainder of the second structure is erected.
- Advantageously, one of the two elements of the elongate structural component is slideable within the other of the two elements, such that when the structural component is in its retracted condition, said one element is telescopically housed within the other element.
- Preferably, there are at least two of said elongate structural components mutually spaced apart.
- Alternatively, the two elements may be adjacent one another and one may be slid over the other.
- Said erecting of the second structure may typically include:
-
- raising a first wall frame upwardly from within said first structure by linearly extending said at least one structural component, thereby also raising a roof frame for said second enclosed space;
- pivoting downwardly a second wall frame from a retracted position adjacent said roof frame to an extended upper position; and
- installing end wall frames between said first and second wall frames; whereby to define said second enclosed space.
- In a third aspect, the invention provides a transportable building system including:
-
- at least partially erecting a first structure for defining a first enclosed space;
- transporting said first structure to a building site and there installing said first structure;
- erecting a second structure defining a second enclosed space above the first space by:
- raising a first wall frame upwardly from within said first structure by linearly extending said at least one structural component, thereby also raising a roof frame for said second enclosed space;
- pivoting downwardly a second wall frame from a retracted position adjacent said roof frame to an extended upright position; and
- installing end wall frames between said first and second wall frames;
- whereby to define said second enclosed space.
- Advantageously, said roof frame is pivoted upwardly about one side thereof before said second wall frame is pivoted downwardly, to raise the height of the other side of said roof frame.
- Preferably, the raising of the first wall frame includes sliding the first wall frame from within a wall frame of the first structure. Alternatively, the first wall frame may be adjacent a wall frame of the first structure.
- Advantageously, the roof frame is connected to the upper end of the first wall frame by hinge means. The second wall frame may also be connected to the roof frame by hinge means.
- Typically, after said second structure is erected, wall panels are installed onto the wall frames. Alternatively, the wall panels are attached to the wall frames prior to transport.
