Description

P/00/011 Regulation 3.2 AUSTRALIA Patents Act 1990 ORIGINAL COMPLETE SPECIFICATION STANDARD PATENT Invention Title: "TRANSPORTABLE BUILDING" The following statement is a full description of this invention, including the best method of performing it known to me/us: 1 TRANSPORTABLE BUILDING FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to the field of transportable buildings. In particular, although not exclusively, the invention relates to a means of tying 5 down or securing a transportable building. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Any reference to background art herein is not to be construed as an admission that such art constitutes common general knowledge in Australia or elsewhere. 10 Transportable buildings have a range of uses including as temporary offices, on-site management centres and temporary sleeping quarters. They are typically delivered to a site on a truck or the like as pre-fabricated or modular buildings. Transportable buildings are required to meet minimum safety 15 requirements and so, particularly in cyclone affected areas, must be provided with tie down systems or anchors. Compared to traditional site-built homes, transportable buildings are relatively lightweight. They have flat sides and ends, and they are built on frames rather than foundations. Almost all transportable buildings are elevated and so wind can get under the buildings 20 and lift them up. In addition, the wind passing over the top of the transportable building can create an uplift force. A typical solution to this problem has been to provide foundation work to anchor the transportable building to the ground to comply with the relevant building regulations. In cyclone rated areas where buildings must comply with 25 tie down regulations, footings required for a transportable building can be substantial and may involve the use of either concrete weights that sit above ground and that the building is subsequently tied down to or concrete footings dug into the ground and the building attached thereto. These solutions are not satisfactory for a number of reasons. Firstly, 30 part of the nature of a transportable building is that it should be easily moved and in many instances the buildings maybe moved several times per year and so relatively laborious tie down systems are not appropriate. Secondly, it 2 is expensive and cumbersome to transport heavy concrete anchor weights from site to site. Thirdly, if in-ground footings are required in rural areas it can be difficult and expensive to engage tradesmen to install them. Finally, it is often undesirable to perform excavations on an existing residential site due 5 to the disturbance created which can be unsightly or because of the dangers in digging down in such an environment where a sewer main or power cables may be damaged.. Hence, it is desirable to provide for a transportable building which is easy to tie down and to subsequently remove the effect of the tie down and 10 transport to further sites. OBJECT OF THE INVENTION It is therefore an object of the invention to overcome or alleviate at least one of the aforementioned deficiencies in the prior art or at least provide a useful or commercially attractive alternative. 15 SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In one form, although it need not be the only or indeed the broadest form, the invention resides in a transportable building comprising: (a) a building body having a plurality of walls and provided with a roof assembly and a floor assembly; 20 (b) a support assembly located below an underside of the floor assembly; and (c) a container adapted to receive a filling material, the container supported by the support assembly. Preferably, the container is a bladder capable of containing an amount 25 of a fluid, as the filling material, to tie down the transportable building. In one embodiment, the support assembly extends from the underside of the floor assembly. Preferably, the floor assembly comprises a plurality of joists. Preferably, the support assembly is attached to one or more of the 30 joists of the floor assembly. The support assembly may comprise a plurality of tie hangers attached to one or more of the joists of the floor assembly.
3 Preferably, the support assembly comprises opposed rows of tie hangers each of which extend between a joist of the floor assembly and one of a plurality of transverse connecting members on which the container is located. 5 In this manner, individually opposed tie hangers in each row are connected by a transverse connecting member. A tray or other support surface may be located on the plurality of transverse connecting members. In an alternative embodiment, the support assembly is connected to 10 opposed ground engaging members. Preferably, the plurality of transverse connecting members extend between the opposed ground engaging members. Suitably, the floor assembly is connected to the opposed ground engaging members via a plurality of support members. 15 The support members may be connected to the joists of the floor assembly through a longitudinal member. In one embodiment, the longitudinal member is affixed to a longitudinal right angle, by one or more fasteners, the longitudinal right angle being attached to the support members. 20 Suitably, removal of the fasteners allows the building body to be separated from the support assembly. Preferably, a lower extent of the support assembly sits above a ground engaging surface of the opposed ground engaging members such that the support assembly is not in contact with the ground. 25 In a further form the invention resides in a method of tying down a transportable building including the steps of: (a) providing a transportable building having a building body having a plurality of walls and provided with a roof assembly and a floor assembly, a support assembly located below an 30 underside of the floor assembly and a container supported by the support assembly; and (b) introducing a filling material into the container, 4 to thereby generate a weighting force on the support assembly and tie down the transportable building Further features of the present invention will become apparent from the following detailed description. 5 BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES In order that the invention may be readily understood and put into practical effect, preferred embodiments will now be described by way of example with reference to the accompanying figures wherein like reference numerals refer to like parts and wherein: 10 FIG 1A shows a perspective view of one embodiment of a transportable building; FIG 1 B shows a front view of the transportable building shown in FIG 1A; FIG 2 shows an enlarged view of the lower extent of the transportable 15 building as shown in FIG 1B; FIG 3 shows a cross sectional view of the transportable building along the broken line indicated in FIG 2; FIG 4 shows a perspective view of the floor and support assemblies of the transportable building shown in FIG 1A; 20 FIG 5 shows a perspective view of the floor and support assemblies of a further embodiment of the transportable building; and FIG 6 shows a perspective view a portion of the floor and support assemblies of the transportable building shown in FIG 5. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that minor deviations from the 25 symmetrical layout of components as illustrated in the drawings will not detract from the proper functioning of the disclosed embodiments of the present invention. Further, elements of the invention are illustrated in concise outline form in the drawings, showing only those specific details that are necessary 30 for understanding the embodiments of the present invention, but so as not to clutter the disclosure with excessive detail that will be obvious to those of ordinary skill in the art in light of the present description.
5 DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION In this patent specification, adjectives such as first and second, left and right, front and back, top and bottom, etc., are used solely to define one element or method step from another element or method step without 5 necessarily requiring a specific relative position or sequence that is described by the adjectives. Words such as "comprises" or "includes" are not used to define an exclusive set of elements or method steps. Rather, such words merely define a minimum set of elements or method steps included in a particular embodiment of the present invention. 10 As used herein the term "transportable building" refers to a structure, such as a demountable, movable cabin or portable office, which does not have permanent footings, may not require a building permit for it to be legally placed or erected on a site (in certain Australian states) and is capable of being readily placed onto a truck or other suitable vehicle for transportation 15 from site to site. The transportable building itself is not mobile in that it will not be provided with wheels such that it can be towed on a public highway. For the sake of clarity, caravans, tents and the like are not considered to be transportable buildings. As used herein the terms "tying down", "tie" and "tie down" refers to 20 the weighting of or placing of a downwardly directed ground engaging force on a transportable building to comply with regulations relating to addressing the dangers of high winds and cyclonic events. With reference to FIG 1 A and FIG 1 B, showing one embodiment of a transportable building 100, the transportable building 100 comprises a 25 building body 200 provided with a roof assembly 300 and a floor assembly 400. A support assembly 500 extends from an underside of the floor assembly 400, in a direction opposite the roof assembly 300, and acts to support a container which is preferably in the form of a bladder 600 (shown only in outline in the figures for the sake of clarity) which may be partially or 30 completely filled with a filling material which is preferably a fluid, such as water, to tie down the transportable building 100. Thus the support assembly 500 can be thought of as replacing the role of conventional building footings 6 in that, ultimately, all of the transportable building 100 is tied down by the weight of the bladder 600. The building body 200 is generally of a standard design in that it is provided with a plurality of outer panels 205 around the four body walls 210, 5 which may be made of weatherboard or the like, one or more windows 215 and a sliding door 220 or other entrance. The frame is predominantly timber, although other materials will be suitable, with internal plasterboard walls. For additional strength, to assist with supporting the weight of the filled bladder 600 the intemal cavity of the walls, particularly at the comers of the 10 transportable building 100, may be provided with one or more tie rods 225, shown in FIG 2, which may take the form of M12 galvanised rods. The tie rods 225 act to tie down the roof assembly 300 and walls 210 of the building body 200 to the floor assembly 400 and so, ultimately, to connect to the weight of the bladder 600 on the support assembly 500. Although not shown 15 in the figures it is likely the building body will be provided with a ramp, steps or, preferably, an area of outer decking extending outwardly from the door 215, as is common in demountables and other transportable buildings 100. An upper extent of the body walls 210 meets the roof assembly 300 which, again, may be of a standard design incorporating a roof 305 formed 20 from a corrugated metal sheeting, such as colorbond, ending in a flashing 310 extending around the border of the roof 305 to prevent the ingress of rain. Although not shown in the figures the roof assembly 300 will incorporate a standard framework of battens and rafters with insulation provided in the space underneath the roof 305. 25 The location of the support assembly 500 in relation to the floor assembly 400 is shown in FIG 2 while FIG 3 and FIG 4 show the detail of these structures. The floor assembly 400 shares design components with standard demountables and portable offices in that it comprises a series of joists 405, 30 including double or end joists 410, extending between opposed longitudinal members 415 and attached thereto. Other standard components such as the flooring itself, which would be well known in the art, are present but not 7 shown in the figures for the sake of clarity. A plurality of opposed support members 420 extend from each of the opposed longitudinal members 415 to attach to elongate ground engaging members 425 which, in the embodiment shown, take the form of skids 425. 5 Each skid 425 has a tapered end, at either end thereof, and a ground engaging surface 435 which, in use, rests on the ground 700 or on the transport vehicle during relocation. The skids 425 allow for ease of manoeuvring of the transportable building 100 both when on the transport vehicle and when being located on site. Bracing members 440 extend along 10 a diagonal of each rectangle formed by the meeting of the longitudinal members 415, support members 420 and skids 425 to provide additional strength to the structure. Together with the bracing members 440 these components form support frames. Although not shown in the figures additional cross braces may be provided between the support members 420 15 at the front and back of the support frames to thereby form a stronger supporting frame. This is possible as the bladder 600 can easily be placed or removed when it is empty even when crossing diagonal braces are provided at the front and rear of the support frame. The support frames are sufficient to bear the weight of the 20 transportable building 100 and the bladder 600 even when filled with the filling material but, for added stability when the bladder 600 is filled and the transportable building 100 in place, it is preferable to deploy additional legs 445 (shown in outline in FIG 2 as an optional feature) extending from the floor assembly 400 at each corner of the transportable building 100 and 25 ending in a bearing plate 450 to make contact with the ground 700. In particularly windy conditions the additional legs 445 can help minimise movement of the transportable building 100 and reduce stress on the structure. The support assembly comprises a series of tie hangers 505 which, 30 the embodiment shown, are attached to a parallel side face of the joists 405 of the floor assembly 400 via a plate 510 which is fastened to the joist 405 by one or more plate fasteners 515 which may take the form of screws, rivets, 8 bolts and other mechanical fastening devices. Each tie hanger 505 extends downwardly from its corresponding joist 405 to pass through or otherwise engage with a transverse connecting member 520 which, in the embodiment shown in the figures, takes the form of an angle rod 520 being an elongate 5 piece of metal having a 90* bend formed therein. It will be appreciated that any shape of connecting member 520 may be appropriate so long as it is capable of supporting the bladder 600. The tie hangers 505 may be galvanised M12 rods or suitably strong alternatives. They may be fastened to the angle rods 520 by a wide range of 10 suitable connecting fasteners 525 or may be welded on. In the embodiment shown the tie hangers 505 pass through an aperture in the angle rod 520 and are held on with the use of nuts or wingnuts which are connected to a threaded portion of the tie hangers 505. As is best seen in FIG 4, the plurality of tie hangers 505 form two 15 opposed rows adjacent the longitudinal members 415. Each individually opposed tie hanger 505 is connected by a transversely located connecting member or angle rod 520 to form a cradle or supportive framework upon which a tray 530 or other support surface is located. Thus, it will be appreciated that a lower extent of the support assembly 500 sits above the 20 location of the ground engaging surface 435 of the ground engaging members 425 such that the support assembly 500 is not resting on the ground 700. The tray 530 may be any plate or boarding which is capable of bearing the weight of the bladder 600 and which has a smooth enough 25 surface that it will not damage the integrity of the bladder 600. The tray 530 shown in the figures is a piece of corrugated metal sheeting which allows for condensation and rain water to drain from underneath the bladder 600. As can be seen from FIGs 2 and 3 the bladder 600 is located on an upper surface of the tray 530 and sits within the confines of the space formed by 30 the underside of the floor of the floor assembly 400, the upper surface of the tray 530 and the two rows of tie hangers 505. The front and back ends of this space are open as is seen in FIG 2.
9 The container or bladder 600 may be constructed from a range of materials which would be suitable for the intended use. Preferably, the bladder 600 is a tough flexible bag which can be reduced in size when emptied. The bladder 600 may be formed from a range of suitable plastics, 5 such as a reinforced PVC, but is preferably formed from a thermoplastic polyurethane. Such bladders 600 are commercially available in a range of sizes/volumes. It will be understood that the bladder 600 will be provided with at least one inlet/outlet to allow for filling and emptying. A specific attachment may be provided to aid in connection of a hose. 10 As a general guide and bearing in mind the transportable building 100 may be provided in a variety of sizes, shapes and weights without departing from the underlying inventive concept, to tie down a transportable building 100 having a weight of approximately 2000 kg a bladder 600 having a capacity of approximately 1500 litres would be suitable. 15 It will be appreciated that when the bladder 600 is filled, at least partly, with a filling material, preferably a fluid such as water, then the additional weight will be loaded onto the tie hangers 505 via the tray 530 and angle rods 520 and hence is loaded onto the joists 405 of the floor assembly 400. An approximately equal force is felt by all of the joists 405 and so the tying 20 force is spread evenly across the floor area. The presence of tie rods 225 in the walls 210 of the building body 200 aid in tying down the building body 200, and the roof assembly 300 to which the opposite end of the tie rods 225 will be attached (not shown in the figures), to this load felt in the floor and support assemblies, 400 and 500 respectively. 25 Further, due to the design of the support assembly 500 it can be seen that the entire weight of the filled bladder 600 will be borne, at all times, by the transportable building 100 and thus the bladder 600 acts as a de facto concrete footing without the associated drawbacks. This is because the ground engaging surfaces of the skids 425 or bearing plates 450 extend 30 beyond the underside of the connecting members 520 and as such none of the downwards force generated by the weight of the bladder 600 is lost by direct contact with the ground. This is a key difference over the prior art 10 whereby the building structure may be connected to an anchor or to ground footings but the building is not actually weighed down by those anchors or footings. Rather, it is only when a lifting force is exerted by high winds during a cyclonic event that the anchors or footings start to place a force on the 5 structure. This creates some play in the movement which can lead to stress on the building structure and, eventually, to damage or lifting of the roof. The present approach of having the building permanently weighted avoids these drawbacks. FIGs 5 and 6 show a perspective view of the floor and support 10 assemblies of a further embodiment of the transportable building 100. Since the components of this embodiment are largely the same as for the embodiment shown in FIGs 1 to 4 the same numbering has been maintained between like elements. In the embodiment shown in FIGs 5 and 6 it will be appreciated that 15 the major change is the removal of the tie hangers 505 and, instead, the attachment of the transverse connecting members, in the form of the angle rods 520, directly to the ground engaging members, or skids, 425. The tray 530 on which the bladder 600 is supported will still rest on an upper surface of the angle rods 520. The space in which the bladder 600 sits is therefore, 20 in this embodiment, defined by the underside of the floor of the floor assembly 400, the upper surface of the tray 530 and the two opposed sets of skids 425, support members 420 and longitudinal members 415. The angle rods 520 extending between the opposed skids 425, to which the support members 420 are connected at one end and to the floor of the transportable 25 building 100 via the longitudinal member 415 at their other end, effectively forms a cradle in which the bladder is located. A further difference is the use of opposed longitudinal connectors 455 which, in the embodiment shown, take the form of longitudinal right angles 455. This is best seen in FIG 6 where it is apparent that the longitudinal right 30 angle 455 extends above and in line with the skids 425 and is connected by fasteners to the support members 420. The longitudinal members 415 are each located within the corresponding longitudinal right angle 455 and are 11 attached thereto by fasteners 460 which pass through apertures 465. It will be appreciated that this embodiment still works upon the same principles as the first in that the load generated by the bladder 600 will be placed onto the tray 530 and hence the angle rods 520 to then be 5 transmitted to the skids 425. Due to the direct connection of the skids 425 to the floor of the transportable building via the support members 420, longitudinal members 415 and joists 405 and 410 the load is immediately placed upon the entire structure should it be placed under an external lifting force due to high winds. Once again, the bladder 600 is positioned to be 10 above the ground 700. This design provides a distinct advantage over that shown in FIGs 1 to 4 in that, due to the provision of the longitudinal right angles 455 and the attachment of the angle rods 520 to the skids instead of any tie hangers 505, the transportable building body 200, including floor and joists 405, 410, can 15 be separated from the remaining bladder support and ground engaging structures by the removal of the fasteners 455 joining the longitudinal members 415 to the longitudinal right angles 455. This provides the option of making the transportable building 100 a more permanent structure. The building 100 can be temporarily raised and 20 the skids 425 and attached elements, including the support assembly 500, slid out from underneath the building 100 which can then be lowered and secured with permanent footings in a standard manner. This allows flexibility in the use and purpose of the building 100. Further, it also frees the skids 425, along with attached elements and support assembly 500, to be used to 25 attach to a second transportable building 100. In use, the transportable building 100 can be transported and delivered to a site in a standard manner. It can be manoeuvred into place on the skids 425 and, once appropriately located, the legs 445 and bearing plates 450 lowered or put in place to also contact the ground 700. The 30 bladder 600 is then located on the tray 530 or may be permanently located there by means of cords or ties. A hose can then be connected to the inlet of the container or bladder 600 and water introduced to begin the process of 12 filling the bladder 600. It will be appreciated that a variety of fluids may be used to fill the bladder 600, or even freely flowing solid material such as sand, however water is the safest, easiest to handle and, in most cases, would be the cheapest and most readily accessible option. 5 Once the bladder 600 is filled to the desired level, which can be calculated based on the size and/or weight of the transportable building 100, the tying down of the structure to conform with laws relating to temporary structures in cyclone prone regions is thereby complete. In this manner the time and expense of having skilled labour insert anchor points or construct 10 footings to which the building is subsequently attached are avoided. Further, the present method is environmentally friendly in that no unnecessary disturbance of the land occurs and a minimum of energy expenditure is required to achieve the tying down effect. Once the transportable building 100 is to be relocated it is a simple 15 matter of releasing the water from the bladder 600 to remove the weighting effect. The water need not be wasted and may be pumped into storage tanks or used on gardens, pools or for cleaning purposes. Indeed, at least part of the water used to fill the bladder 600 may be recycled or grey water if water restrictions are current. In any event, the bladder 600 is emptied in a short 20 span of time and the transportable building 100 is ready for transportation and further use. After removal from the site the only trace of the presence of the transportable building 100 will be the physical markings from the bearing plates 450 and the skids 425 since no ground penetration is required for the tying down. 25 If it is required that the transportable building remain on the site permanently then the embodiment of FIGs 5 and 6 can be used to allow the removal of the bladder 600 supporting structure and ground engaging members 425 and permanent footings put in place, thereby providing great flexibility in use. 30 The above description of various embodiments of the present invention is provided for purposes of description to one of ordinary skill in the related art. It is not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the invention to a 13 single disclosed embodiment. As mentioned above, numerous alternatives and variations to the present invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art of the above teaching. Accordingly, while some alternative embodiments have been discussed specifically, other embodiments will be apparent or 5 relatively easily developed by those of ordinary skill in the art. Accordingly, this patent specification is intended to embrace all alternatives, modifications and variations of the present invention that have been discussed herein, and other embodiments that fall within the spirit and scope of the above described invention. 10 15 20 25 30
