Patents Act 1990 COMPLETE SPECIFICATION STANDARD PATENT Applicant(s): WINDSOR CARAVANS PTY LTD Invention Title: A CARAVAN The following statement is a full description of this invention, including the best method of performing it known to me/us: 2 A CARAVAN This invention relates to a caravan. In this specification the word "caravan" should be understood to mean towed vehicles which are towed behind a car or truck as well as self propelled vehicles in the form of campervans or the like.
Generally caravans and campervans or the like define a mobile form of residence which is used for recreation purposes or for a permanent home. Modern caravans can be quite large and include one or more bedrooms as well as additional living space in the form of kitchens, lounge rooms and the like. The incorporation of bedrooms into a caravan greatly increases the size of the caravan and therefore the weight of the caravan. This generally necessitates towing of the caravan if in a towable form by powerful vehicles.
Some attempts have been made to reduce the size of caravans by providing bedrooms which can be attached to the caravan or by making the bedrooms slideable so that in a travelling condition the bedrooms are retracted into the living space and when it is desired to use the caravan the bedrooms are extended out to an extended position. whilst this type of structure does reduce the size of the caravan it generally does not allow access to the caravan whilst the bedrooms are in retracted condition.
The object of the present invention is to decrease the size of a caravan so that the caravan can be made lighter and therefore towed by less powerful vehicles and also a caravan in which the living space is assessable at all times.
The invention may be said to reside in a caravan including; a caravan body defining a living space and having \\melb_files\home$\paulad\Keep\speci\windsor caravans caravan.doc 5/09/00 3 side walls, a roof and a floor; at least one of the walls having or comprising a wall section pivotally coupled to the caravan for movement from a retracted position to an extended positioned; holding means for holding the wall section in the extended position; a collapsible room coupled to the wall section and for movement with the wall section between the retracted and extended positions whilst the collapsible room is in a collapsed condition, and wherein the collapsible room has; a floor section moveable towards and away from the wall section; a flexible wall member extending between the 15 wall section and the floor section for defining and ooooo enclosing at least part of the collapsible room; and wherein the wall section is moveable to the extended position and the floor section is moveable away Sfrom the wall section so as to extend the flexible wall between the wall section and the floor section to thereby enable access to the collapsible room, and wherein the collapsible room can be collapsed by moving the floor section towards the wall section so that the flexible wall folds or bunches up between the wall section and the floor 25 section so as to collapse the room so that the wall section can be returned to the retracted position with the *collapsible room against the wall section.
Since the collapsible room is formed on a wall section which can pivot outwardly to an extended position and is formed by a floor and a flexible wall the caravan can be made much smaller than a caravan having a permanent room and therefore the caravan can be made much lighter than equivalent caravan having the permanent room. Furthermore, since the collapsible room is collapsible against the wall section, the collapsible room does not take up any significant space when the room is in the collapsed \\melbfiles\home\paulad\Keep\speci\windsor caravans caravan.doc 5/09/00 I I 4 position and the wall section in the retracted position thereby enabling access to the living area of the caravan even when the collapsible room is in the collapsed condition.
Preferably the collapsible room forms a bedroom and the floor section is provided with a mattress which moves with the floor.
Preferably at least two walls of the caravan are provided with pivotal wall sections each having a collapsible room.
Preferably the holding means comprises at least one gas strut.
Preferably a support member is provided for supporting each or the floor when the floor has -been moved away from the wall section and the room is in an erected condition for use.
Preferably the supports are in the form of struts or poles connected to a tow bar of the caravan and/or to bumper-bar of the caravan.
Preferably the flexible wall is formed from vinyl material.
Preferably the caravan has releasable securing members for holding the floor against the wall section and for release to enable the floor to move away from the floor section to place the collapsible room in an erected position for use.
The flexible wall may include windows.
In one embodiment of the invention the floor section is moved with the wall section when the wall section is moved to an erected condition and the releasable securing means is released so as to enable the floor to move relative to \\melbfies\homeS\paulad\Keep\speci\windsor caravans caravandoc 5/09/00
I
5 the roof into an erected condition.
In another embodiment of the invention the floor section is pivotally coupled to the caravan so that after the wall section is moved to the erected condition, the floor section is pivoted from a collapsed condition to an erected position about said pivotal connection. In this embodiment the floor section is moveable away from the wall section by pivotally moving the floor section, after the wall section has been pivoted into its erected position, so that the floor section pivots outwardly and then down away from the wall section to a generally horizontal position, and the floor section is moved towards the wall section by pivoting the floor section upwardly from the generally horizontal 15 position towards the wall section, to place the floor ooooo S"section in the collapsed position so that the wall section can be pivoted downwardly to return the wall section to the retracted position adjacent the floor section.
In this embodiment of the invention at least one link extends between the floor section and the caravan, the link being formed from at least two sections pivotally connected together by a pivot pin so that the link can fold from a collapsed condition to an erected condition to support the 25 floor section when the floor section is pivoted to the erected condition.
The present invention also provides a caravan including; a caravan body defining a living space and having side walls, a roof and a floor; at least one of the walls having or comprising a wall section pivotally coupled to the caravan for movement from a retracted position to an extended position; holding means for holding the wall section in the extended position; a collapsible room having a flexible wall member, and a floor section, the flexible wall member being \\melbfies\homeS\paulad\Keep\speci\windsor caravans caravandoc 5/09/00 6 connected to the wall section for movement with the wall section and also connected to the floor section for movement with the floor section; the floor section being pivotally connected to the caravan for pivotal movement between a collapsed condition and an erected condition; and to erect the room the wall section is pivoted into an erected condition thereby moving the flexible wall with the wall section, and the floor section is pivoted outwardly of the caravan and downwardly away from the wall section so as to draw the flexible wall member into a fully erected condition; and to collapse the collapsible room the floor section is pivoted from the erected condition upwardly toward the wall section and into a collapsed condition, and S°the wall section is pivoted to a retraced position so that the collapsible room is against the wall section.
A preferred embodiment of the invention will be described, by way of example, with reference to accompanying drawings in which; Figure 1 is a side view of a caravan embodying the invention; Figure 2 is a front view of the caravan of Figure 25 1 showing the collapsible room in the erected condition; Figure 3 is an end view of a collapsible room used in the embodiment of Figure 1 in an erected condition; ***Figure 4 is a view of the room of Figure 3 in a collapsed condition; Figure 5 is schematic view of part of the embodiment of Figure 1; Figure 6 is a view of rear support poles used in the embodiment of Figure 1 and Figure 7 is a side view of a second and more preferred embodiment of the invention; Figure 8 is a detailed view of part of the embodiment of Figure 7; \\melb files\home$\paulad\Keep\speci\windsor caravans caravan.doc 5/09/00 7 Figure 9 is a detailed view of part of the embodiment of Figure 7 showing the collapsible room in an erected condition; and Figure 9 is a detailed view of part of the embodiment of Figure 7 showing the collapsible room in a collapsed condition.
With reference to Figures 1 and 2 a caravan 10 is shown which has a chassis including an A-frame draw bar 12 for connection to a vehicle to enable the caravan to be towed.
The chassis 10 has wheels 14 facilitating towing of the caravan 10. The caravan 10 has a roof 18, floor 20, front wall 22, rear wall 24 and side walls 26 and 28.
15 The walls 22 and 24 are both provided with wall sections ooooe "which are pivotally coupled to the wall 22 by a hinge 32.
The wall section 30 can be formed from a portion which is cut from the wall 22 or the wall 22 can be provided with a large opening which is closed by the wall section 30 which is formed separate from the caravan 10. The wall section is preferably formed from fibreglass material and is the same material from which the remainder of the body (made up of the roof 18, floor 20 and walls 22 to 28) is formed.
The wall sections 30 can have seal members about their periphery for sealing hard against the wall 22 when in the closed position shown in Figure 1.
The wall sections 30 both have arranged against them collapsible rooms 40 which will form bedrooms of the caravan when placed in the erected position.
Figure 3 shows a front view of the collapsible room 30 in an erected position and Figure 4 shows a collapsible room in collapsed position as per Figure 1. The collapsible room 40 is defined by a floor 42 which can be formed from ply wood or any other suitable material, the wall section \\melbfiles\home\paulad\Keep\speci\windsor caravans caravan.doc 5/09/00 8 and a flexible peripheral side wall 44. The flexible side wall 44 is preferably formed from vinyl or like material. If the room is to be a bedroom the floor 42 can carry a mattress 46.
The wall section 30 can be locked in the retracted position shown in Figure 1 by a suitable lock (not shown) which can be opened by a key from outside the caravan or could be locked by an internal clip or fastener from within the caravan.
In order to erect the room 40 the wall section 30 is unlocked and pivoted to an extended position shown in Figure 2 and in dotted lines and shown by reference numeral 30' in Figure 1. Each of the collapsible rooms 40 is provided with two gas struts 46 (only one shown in each of the rooms 40 in Figure 1) which have a retractable arm 48 connected to walls 22 and 24 respectively and also to the wall sections 30' so that when the wall sections 30' are pivoted to the extended position the gas struts 46 are extended to hold the wall sections 30' in the extended position. The floor 42 together with the mattress 46 and side wall 44 moves in the collapsed position with the wall section 30 to the position shown by reference 30'. The floor 42 is held in the collapsed position adjacent the wall sections 30 by clips 50 (see Figure 4) which can be in the form of pivotal brackets, screw fasteners, twist locks or the like. In order to erect the room 40 the clips are released so that the floor 42 can move downwardly away from the extended wall section 30' to position 42' shown in Figure 1. In the collapsed position shown in Figure 4 the wall 44 which is connected to the wall section 30 and to floor 42 is bunched up or folded between the floor 42 and the wall section 30. When the floor 42 is moved to the extended position away from the wall section 30 as shown in Figure 3 the wall 44 is extended with the floor 42 so as to define a room area with the floor 42 and the wall section \\melb_files\home$\paulad\Keep\speci\windsor caravans caravan.doc 5/09/00 9 The flexible wall 44 may be provided with windows 48.
As is best shown in Figure 5 the side edge of wall 22 of the caravan which declines the opening 21 can include a slot or groove 56 and the floor 42 can include an angle iron section 58 so that arm 60 of the angle iron section 58 can locate in the slot 56 to guide vertical movement of the floor 42 from the retracted position shown in Figure 4 to the extended position shown in Figure 3 and also serve to hold the floor 42 fixed relative to the caravan 10 so that it will not move when the room 40 is occupied.
Figure 5 shows the angle section 58 only on one side of the floor 42. However, the other side could also be provided with a similar member 58 which receives in a slot on the opposite side of the wall 22.
20 When the wall section 30 is moved to the extended position shown by reference numeral 30' it obviously opens the opening 21 through the wall 22 so a user can move through the opening to occupy the room The floor 42' is supported by support struts 70 which can be located in position between the A-frame 12 and the floor 42' as shown in Figure 1 and also foldable support poles 72' which connect to the rear bumper bar 74 of the caravan and can pivot outwardly as shown by arrows A in Figure 6 to an extended position for supporting the floor 42' of the room which is arranged at the rear of the caravan shown in Figure 1.
As shown in Figure 6 the poles 72 can be piotally coupled by pivot pins 78 to the bumper bar 74 for movement from the folded position where they are adjacent the rear wall 24 of the caravan to the extended position shown in Figure 6 for \\melb_files\home$\paulad\Keep\speci\windsor caravans caravan.doc 5/09/00 10 support of the floor 42'of the rear room The rooms 40, when in the erected position thereby form bedrooms which can be occupied to thereby greatly increase the living space of the caravan 10 whilst not dramatically increasing the weight of the caravan. Thus, the caravan can be made much lighted than a caravan of similar size which has permanent bedrooms. This therefore enables the caravan to be towed by less powerful vehicles such as four cylinder vehicles without great difficulty.
Furthermore, the collapsible nature of the room 40 ensures that the room 40 does not intrude into the living space 26 of the caravan when the wall sections 30 are in the retracted position and the room 40 collapsed thereby enabling use of the living space 26 without the need to erect the rooms 40 if desired.
o *:o 20 In order to collapse the rooms 40 the floors 42' are simply 20 moved towards the wall section 30 and secured against the wall section 30 by clips 50. The wall sections 30 may then be closed against the gas struts 46 into the retracted position shown in solid lines in Figure 1 and locked in place. The flexible wall 44 collapses or bunches between s, 25 the floor 42 and wall section 30 when the floor 42 is moved towards the wall section 30 into the collapsed position.
*oo, The wall 44 can be provided with elastic members or the like so that the wall 44 bunches inwardly of the room when the floor 42 is moved towards the wall section 30 so that it does not project out of the periphery of the wall section 30 and become jammed between the wall 22 and the wall section 30 when the wall sections 30 are returned to the retracted position.
Since with wall section 30 can be made from the same material as the body of the caravan such as fibreglass it \\melb_files\home$\paulad\Keep\speci\windsor caravans caravan.doc 5/09/00 11 provides a secure and waterproof roof for the room 40 when in the erected position. A seal flap (not shown) can be provided over the hinge 32 if desired or if necessary to seal the hinge 32 against water ingress.
Furthermore, in other embodiments (not shown) a pulley arrangement made be coupled to the floor 42 for facilitating lowering of the floor 42 away from the wall section 30 and also retraction of the floor 42 towards the wall section Figures 7 to 9 show a second and more preferred embodiment of the invention. In which like reference numerals indicate like parts to those previously described.
*60660 In this embodiment rather than the floor 42 being arranged e*• for vertical movement with respect to the wall section after the wall section 30 is moved to the erected condition, in Figure 7, the floor 42 is pivotally connected to the wall 24 of the caravan 10 on a pivot pin or pivot assembly 68. The wall section 30 is pivoted at an upper portion of the wall 24 on a pivot pin or pivot assembly 66.
The gas struts 46 (only one shown in Figures 7 to 9) are o.@4 pivoted at one end on a pivot pin 47 and the other end of the gas strut 46 is pivotally connected on a pivot pin 46 to the wall section a 00-. The room 40 shown at the left hand end of the caravan in Figure 7 is in the collapsed condition and the room 40 on the right hand obviously in the erected condition. In order to move the room into the erected condition the wall section 30 is pivoted into the upright position shown in Figure 7 which will move the wall section 30 away from the floor 42. When the wall section 30 is moved to its fully erected position it is held in place by the gas struts 46 and the flexible side wall 44 of the room is in a semibunched configuration extending from the upright floor 42.
\\melb_files\home$\paulad\Keep\speci\windsor caravans caravan.doc 5/09/00 12 The floor 42 is then pivoted downwardly into the horizontal position shown in Figure 7 by pivoting the wall 42 around the hinge 68, down and away from the erected wall section so as to draw the flexible wall 44 into the fully erected condition to define the collapsible room 40. A pair of links 60 and 62 are provided on both sides of the room 40 (only one shown in the drawings) and are hinged on a pivot pin 61 formed on the floor 42 and on a pivot pin formed on side wall 24. The links 60 and 62 are pivotally connected together by pivot pin 64. The links 62 and therefore support the floor 42 when in the erected condition shown in Figures 7 and 8.
ooooo In order to collapse the room the links 60 and 62 are pushed into a slightly v-shaped configuration as shown in Figure 8 in the direction of arrow D and the floor 42 is pivoted upwardly in the direction of arrow A so as to move the floor towards the wall section 30 and back into the raised position shown in Figure 9. This will tend to bunch the flexible wall 44 so that it extends in a somewhat bunched configuration between the erected wall section .'.and the stowed floor 42. The floor 42 is then pivoted downwardly in the direction of arrow B so as to collapse gas strut 46 in the direction of arrow C so that the wall section 30 can be pivoted into the fully closed position o *shown in Figure 9. This movement continues bunching of the flexible wall 44 so that the flexible wall 44 is accommodated between the floor 42 and the wall section as best shown in Figure 9. The wall section 30 can be locked in position in the manner as described with reference to the earlier embodiment.
As best shown in Figure 9 the caravan 10 has a sealing strip 72 which is formed from resilient material such as rubber or the like and which is connected at the transition of the wall 24 and roof 10 so as to extend over the pivot hinge 66. In the erected position shown in Figure 8 the \\melbfiles\home$\paulad\Keep\speci\windsor caravans caravan.doc 5/09/00 13 strip 72 is forced outwardly but firmly engages the wall section 30 to form a whether strip. In the collapsed position shown in Figure 9 the strip 72 overlaps the hinge 66 to also form a whether seal protecting the hinge 66.
As is apparent from the consideration of Figure 9 the entirety of the collapsible room is stowed in the thickness of the wall 24 with the bottom surface 42a of the floor 42 being generally flush with the interior surface 24a of the wall 24 and the outer surface 30a of the wall section being flush with the outer surface 24b of the wall 24.
In the embodiment shown in Figures 7 to 9 a mattress is not shown on the floor 42. The mattress may be stowed on the floor of the caravan or in any other convenient place when the collapsible room 40 is in the collapsed condition.
In this embodiment it can be seen that the collapsible room is still coupled to the wall section 30 by virtue of the flexible wall 44 being connected to the wall section 30 and is moved with the wall section when the wall section 30 is moved to the erected position by drawing part of the collapsible wall 44 with the wall section 30 during movement of the wall section. Nevertheless, the room 25 still remains in a collapsed condition because it is not fully erected for use which does not happen until the floor 42 is pivoted outwardly to the horizontal position and moves away from the wall section 30 so as to fully draw the collapsible room 40 into the erected condition.
Since modifications within the spirit and scope of the invention may readily be effected by persons skilled within the art, it is to be understood that this invention is not limited to the particular embodiment described by way of example hereinabove.
