Jack Arthur Paquin - Monterey CA, US

International Classification:

E04B 1/343

US Classification:

52 795, 5274502

Abstract:

A method for rapidly deploying and erecting a HUD-certified structure includes providing an ISO-certified container. The container includes a container frame including a horizontal floor section, an opposed horizontal roof section and first and second opposed vertical end sections, and a pair of opposed vertically-disposed floor panels. The container frame and the opposed floor panels define an interior cavity with a plurality of dwelling members disposed therein. The method further includes transporting the ISO-certified container to a desired location and forming a HUD-certified structure at the desired location, including manipulating at least some of the dwelling members.

Abstract:

The invention is an expandable and contractible, transforming habitable structure, ISO-certified container designed as a single unit with all primary components contained within, to be easily transported by water, air or land (truck and rail) in stacked configurations. The unit of fold-down floors, easy swing-out interior and exterior walls, and an inter-locking roof system, rapidly expands using: specially designed and engineered “box hinges” and “pivot pins.” When expanded, the unit is structurally secured via especially designed and engineered “spring bolts” requiring little construction knowledge or tools, into HUD-approved, habitable, family friendly structure for emergency and temporary individual, or single-family use, and can be combined in multiples for various field functional applications. The design and engineering of floor, wall and roof (stored for transport within the container) components allow for their simple maintenance by the removal and replacement of some bolts or specially designed and engineered “spring-loaded hinges.”
