Description

The invention relates to a mobile living space expansion module and a transport device for this living space expansion module.

Urban living, especially in metropolises, is confronted with constantly increasing demands. The demand for living space is growing continuously, as is the volume of traffic. At the same time, the available traffic space is increasingly restricted. Nevertheless, the residents of urban metropolises neither want to restrict their mobility nor forego living comfort. As a result, traffic jams arise, parking pressure increases and the prices for real estate and land rise.

For this reason, a large number of alternative living and transport concepts were investigated in order to meet these challenges. These include so-called car sharing concepts, in which vehicles are used jointly, but also the minimization and / or optimization of living space or the utilization of previously barely accessible areas for use as living or working space.

The invention is now based on the object of proposing a concept that makes it possible to create living space or work space without creating additional space requirements, while also meeting the increased demands on the mobility of users.

The object of the invention is achieved with a mobile living space expansion module according to claim 1 and a transport device for the living space expansion module according to claim 11. Further preferred embodiments of the invention result from the other features mentioned in the subclaims.

A mobile living space expansion module according to the invention is designed with at least one coupling device for a detachable mechanical connection to a building and / or a transport device and has at least one closable opening that corresponds to an opening in the building provided for this purpose, and at least one interface for exchanging energy and / or Information with the building and / or the transport facility.

A living space expansion module should be understood to mean a body or an at least partially enclosed volume which is designed and set up to act as an additional living space and / or an extension of a living space. For this purpose, the living space expansion module is coupled with a building in or on which a living space is to be expanded. The living space expansion module can be coupled with horizontal or vertical surfaces of the building. The living space extension module can be designed, for example, as a living room, bedroom, office, kitchen, lounge, wellness area or party room, but also as a supermarket module, which is transported to a customer as required and offers the customer an individual and comfortable shopping experience. In addition to the components mentioned, the living space expansion module can also have a support structure, insulation or insulation, openings for windows and doors, and other components or components that will be detailed below.

A living space that is to be expanded can be both a single room in a residential unit, i.e. a house or an apartment, or the entire residential unit. The extension of the living space is brought about by providing the living space extension module as an additional living space or as a living space enlargement.

The choice of words living space and living space expansion module should not be limited to the function of living or private rooms, rather work and office functions should also be included. Accordingly, a living space expansion module can also include an office expansion module or the expansion of any work environment. This can also include room expansions for hotel rooms or room expansions for hospitals, such as a highly specialized operating room or a quarantine room that is transported to a hospital as required.

In order to connect the living space expansion module to the building, it has at least one coupling device with which a detachable mechanical connection can be realized between the living space expansion module and the building. The number of coupling devices is preferably selected so that the living space expansion module can be securely connected to the building. The number of coupling devices is therefore dependent on the size and equipment of the living space expansion module.

In addition or as an alternative, it is provided that the living space expansion module is connected to a transport device by means of the at least one coupling device. If the living space expansion module is coupled to a transport device, it can be transported from one location to another. The connection of the living space expansion module to the transport device can be via the same coupling device or the same coupling devices take place by means of which the connection to the building is implemented, but at least one further coupling device can also be provided for this purpose.

With the living space expansion module according to the invention, it is thus possible to expand a living space, but also to move the living space expansion module to another location where it extends another living space. The mobility of the user is given in connection with a high level of comfort, since the user can take his familiar surroundings with him. In addition, the living space expansion module can be used in conjunction with a suitable transport device to move the user, as will be explained later.

The living space expansion module has at least one closable opening which corresponds to an opening in the building provided for this purpose. A corresponding opening should be understood to mean that the opening of the living space expansion module corresponds to the size and shape of the opening of the building and vice versa, that is, they match one another. When connecting the living space expansion module to the building, the living space expansion module is arranged in such a way that the at least one closable opening in the living space expansion module faces the opening in the building provided for this purpose. After coupling the living space expansion module to the building, the at least one opening of the living space expansion module is opened and thus access from the building to the living space expansion module is possible.

The at least one opening of the living space expansion module can be a door through which the living space expansion module can be entered. The at least one opening can, however, also occupy the entire area of the living space expansion module facing the building. However, several openings can also be provided, each corresponding to openings in the building provided for this purpose, for example several doors through which the living space expansion module can be entered, or openings that act as a window or a hatch.

The living space expansion module can also have further openings that are not intended to correspond to a building opening, namely windows and doors, which, however, make the use of the living space expansion module pleasant and comfortable or enable access to the living space expansion module independently of a connection to a building .

It goes without saying that the opening of the building, which corresponds to the at least one opening of the living space expansion module, should preferably be designed to be closable in order to close off the building envelope when the building is not coupled to a living space expansion module.

Advantageously, the openings of living space expansion modules and the corresponding openings in the buildings are designed in standard dimensions and designs, so that a simple and quick coupling of different living space expansion modules with different buildings is made possible.

The living space expansion module according to the invention also has at least one interface for exchanging energy and / or information with the building and / or the transport facility. This interface is provided to couple the living space expansion module, for example, to the power grid of the building, so that electrical consumers can be operated in the living space expansion module or energy storage devices can be charged in the living space expansion module. Alternatively or additionally, information in the sense of control and monitoring signals should be exchanged between the building and the living space extension module by means of the interface. As a result, the functions of the living space expansion module, but also operating parameters of the living space expansion module can be monitored and controlled and / or operating parameters of the expanded living space can be monitored and controlled from the living space expansion module. The exchange of information can be wired or wireless.

As an alternative or in addition, the at least one interface for energy and / or information also allows energy and / or information technology coupling with the transport device. For example, monitoring and control signals are also exchanged between the transport device and the living space expansion module, or energy is provided for the use or for charging energy storage devices. The same interface as for the building can be used for this, or another interface provided for this purpose can be provided on the living space expansion module.

In a first preferred embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the living space expansion module has at least one device for forming a connecting area between the building and the living space expansion module. Pairing the The living space expansion module with the building is therefore carried out with the formation of a connecting area. This connection area should ensure the functionality and safety of the living space expansion module connected to the building, ensure a simple transition between living space expansion module and building and / or avoid damage to the building or living space expansion module through the connection. For example, the living space extension module can have one or more elements made of an elastic material along the surface facing the building, which protrude above the surface of the living space extension module and thus act like cushions or buffer elements that directly touch the surfaces facing each other and thus prevent damage from unintentional contact during the connection process. Temporary or permanent covers of the configurations of the device for forming a connection area explained below or covers for openings in the living space expansion module that do not find a corresponding opening when connected to a building are also covered by such a device for creating the connection area.

A device for forming a connection area preferably has a sealing system, in particular for thermal sealing and / or for sealing against moisture, a door system, a transition system and / or a fire protection system.

If the living space extension module is connected to a building in order to expand a living space there, the area between the building and the living space extension module should be sealed, especially in the area of the corresponding openings. In the simplest case, the device for forming the connection area can therefore have a seal against the creation of so-called drafts in the connection area. In particular, it should be ensured that no moisture can penetrate the building and / or the living space extension module from outside, as this would result in a loss of comfort and the risk of mold. This moisture can be, for example, rain, snow or the humidity of the outside air, which differs from the humidity in the living space and / or in the living space expansion module. Alternatively or additionally, the device for forming the connection area should have a thermal seal in order to prevent the escape of heated or cooled room air, which is also conducive to comfort, helps save energy and reduces the risk of mold formation.

Standard seals such as those used in the automotive sector can be used for sealing purposes, but also inflatable or magnetic seals.

Another embodiment of the device for forming the connecting area provides a door system. This door system should include at least one door element or several door elements that close the opening of the living space expansion module that corresponds to the opening of the building provided for this purpose. Door elements are preferably designed to be flat and their shape is adapted to the surface or the contour of the surface of the living space expansion module. Door elements can therefore be flat, curved or arched. A door system is preferably designed in such a way that it takes up as little space as possible and when it is opened does not collide with or obstruct the door system of the building or the device for closing the corresponding building opening.

A door system particularly preferably has at least two door elements that can be opened, in particular door elements that can be opened by rolling up, folding, folding and / or sliding. The door elements can each be opened or folded around a substantially horizontal or vertical axis and thus clear the opening. The door elements can however be moved out of the opening area. Opening can also take place by rolling up door elements around an essentially horizontal or vertical axis, as is known, for example, from garage doors. Of course, these opening options can also be used for just one door element and for more than two door elements.

Another embodiment of the device for forming the connection area provides a transition system. A transition system should include all components that enable a comfortable and safe change of location between living space and living space extension module. This also includes the lateral surfaces and the surfaces in the ceiling area of the transition, i.e. the reveal surfaces of the building opening and opening of the living space expansion module, and in the simplest case can be a cover that makes contact with edges, the at least one coupling device, the interface for exchanging Prevents energy and / or information and the like, and thus also reduces the risk of injury. A transition system can include steps that bridge a difference in height between the floor of the living space expansion module and the building.

In order to bring about a comfortable transition, the transition system can advantageously also include ramps or lifting devices which enable a level transition, that is to say a stepless and therefore barrier-free transition between the living space expansion module and the building. A level transition should not be limited to a horizontal orientation, but simply mean the absence of steps or similar obstacles. This means that the living space expansion module can also be accessed with a wheelchair. In a special embodiment, the door system or elements of the door system can also be elements of the transition system, for example if a door element is opened around a horizontal axis on the floor of the living space extension module and thus acts as a ramp or at least as a cover for the joint between the living space extension module and the building.

The device for forming the connecting area can alternatively or additionally have a fire protection system. This is intended to ensure the safety of a user during use and especially in the event of a fire. A fire protection system can be designed, for example, by a fire protection gate or a fire protection door that is closed in the event of a fire, by a device for the delivery of extinguishing gas such as CO ₂ , extinguishing foam or an extinguishing liquid in the event of a fire and / or a device for triggering an emergency call. In the event of a fire, this can prevent a fire from spreading from the living space expansion module into the building or vice versa. In addition, by containing the fire, the time within which a user must be rescued from the danger area can be extended. A fire protection system can also be implemented by a device that acts on the door system in order to cause the door elements to close, in particular if they are designed with a suitable fire protection class.

In a further preferred embodiment of the invention it is provided that the interface is designed to exchange energy and / or information for the transmission of media for operating the living space expansion module. Using the interface, media such as water, sewage, air for ventilation, heating and cooling of the living space expansion module are to be exchanged between the building and the living space expansion module. These media are used for the complete functional integration of the living space expansion module into the building, since in this way all comfort as it exists in the building can also be expanded to the living space expansion module. An adaptation of the living environment in the living space extension module to the living environment of the extended living space can also be set and achieved in this way.

The interface for exchanging energy and / or information is particularly preferably arranged in the connection area, that is to say in the area in which the connection area is formed when the living space expansion module is connected to the building. In this way, all the facilities that serve to connect the living space expansion module and the building and to link the functionalities are brought together and concentrated in one area. This saves installation space, makes the individual elements more accessible and simplifies maintenance. In addition, the connection or coupling process between the living space expansion module and building is simplified in this way and the interface for exchanging energy and / or information is arranged in a protected area, in particular protected from the weather and unauthorized access.

In yet another preferred embodiment of the invention, the living space expansion module is designed with all the components necessary for self-sufficient operation. Autarkic operation is understood to mean that the living space expansion module can also be operated without being connected to a building or a transport facility, i.e. can be operated completely independently, for example as an independent structure, such as a construction site office, a weekend or summer house. This requires, for example, components such as energy storage, storage units for water and wastewater, ventilation systems, heating, cooling, a system for generating solar energy and / or control devices for monitoring and controlling the components, which are integrated individually or together in or on the living space extension module. The components for self-sufficient operation can also include devices for filling or charging the storage devices for energy and water, drainage devices for waste water or interfaces to a stationary energy supply, that is to say on-site.

With this configuration, a mobile living space expansion module can be used not only in connection with a building or a transport facility, but also alone. The user can thus take his familiar surroundings, for example his study or bedroom, with him in the form of the living space extension module and place and use it at any location without having to rely on the provision of energy, water and the like.

In another embodiment of the invention, the living space expansion module is in Lightweight construction, especially designed with an aluminum space frame. By using light materials, especially for the supporting structure of the living space expansion module, and the design of the supporting structure with hollow profiles, lattice girders and the like, the weight of the living space expansion module can be as low as possible, which simplifies both transport and connection to the building. Thus, in a living space expansion module designed according to this embodiment, transport devices have to provide less power for locomotion and the supporting structure of the building and the coupling devices have to have less load-bearing capacity. The design of the lightweight construction with the so-called aluminum space frame, known per se from automobile construction, in which aluminum cavity profiles in conjunction with die-cast nodes form the support structure is particularly advantageous.

In a next embodiment, the living space expansion module is designed to interact with a support system on the building side. In principle, the living space expansion module is connected to the building by means of the at least one coupling device. Depending on the size and equipment of the living space expansion module and thus its weight, it may be necessary to increase the load-bearing capacity of the at least one coupling device or to adapt its number. However, this is associated with technical effort and costs, which is particularly disadvantageous if the need for this is only temporary, for example because an event with many guests is taking place in the living space extension module or the user's property is temporarily stored. Another application could be a storm in which strong winds or the like are expected, which is why the living space expansion module and its connection to the building should be additionally secured.

In these and similar cases, it is advantageous if the living space expansion module is designed to interact with the supporting system of the building. For this purpose, for example, carriers which can be extended on the building side can be provided, which are extended below the living space expansion module and take up the load of the living space expansion module. For this purpose, receptacles can advantageously be formed on the underside of the living space expansion module, into which the supports are inserted or which correspond to the supports in such a way that a positive connection is created when the living space expansion module is set down when the living space expansion module is positioned for connection to the building. Alternatively or additionally, fastening options that connect the living space extension module to these carriers can be provided on the living space expansion module.

In addition to the building-side supports arranged below the living space extension module, supports can also be arranged above the living space extension module, and the living space extension module can be suspended from them. However, other constructions are also possible in which, for example, supports are provided on the part of the living space expansion module and are inserted into corresponding receptacles in the building.

According to the invention, a transport device for the living space expansion module is also claimed, which is designed with all the components required for moving the living space expansion module.

Movement should be understood to mean both a change in location of the living space expansion module independently of a building and the movement of the living space expansion module on the building, in particular when positioning and connecting the living space expansion module to the building.

Components required for locomotion are drive means such as a motor, an energy store or a connection with a stationary energy supply, a steering device, a chassis, control and monitoring means and the like, as is known from the automotive sector, as well as a corresponding counterpart to the at least a coupling device of the living space expansion module, so that the transport device can be connected to the living space expansion module and the counterpart to the interface for energy and / or information.

According to a first embodiment, the transport device is designed as a drone, lifting platform, elevator system, hoist, track-bound transport device and / or road transport device. The transport device can therefore be connected to the living space expansion module and take part in public transport similar to a motor vehicle, move on rails or in the air. However, it can also be connected to a lifting platform that moves the living space expansion module to the desired position in a building, so that the connection between the living space expansion module and the building can be carried out there. This positioning on the building can alternatively take place with an elevator system or a hoist, i.e. essentially a crane.

In a second embodiment of the transport device according to the invention, this is designed to move autonomously, partially autonomously and / or remotely. For autonomous or semi-autonomous locomotion, the transport facility must be designed with a suitable monitoring and control system in order, among other things, to monitor the environment, determine its own position and the position of other road users, as well as means and systems for finding and routing from one place to another other. For remote-controlled operation, a control device with a transmission device is required, which transmits the control signals to the transport device, and a suitable receiving device on the transport device, which receives and converts these control signals. The transmission is preferably wireless.

In a preferred embodiment, the transport device is designed and arranged as an elevator system on a building in order to receive the living space expansion module from another transport device and to transport it to an opening in the building provided for this purpose. A first transport device is therefore provided, which is arranged and designed as an elevator system on a building. The living space expansion module is brought to the building by means of a second transport device, for example on the road or by means of a drone as a transport device. There, the living space extension module is picked up by the first, specially designed and arranged transport device, i.e. coupled to it, and moved to the desired location on the building, where the connection between the building and the living space extension module is established. As soon as this connection is established, the first transport device can be decoupled from the living space expansion module and moved away from it. This process is preferably carried out in an automated manner, that is to say without the active intervention of the user. For this purpose, the living space extension module is brought by the second transport device to a specified location at, near or on the building, at which the first transport device can accommodate the living space extension module. After entering the destination point on the building by the user or by a suitable identification system, the first transport device moves the living space expansion module to the desired location, where it is connected to the building.

The various embodiments of the invention mentioned in this application can be advantageously combined with one another, unless stated otherwise in the individual case.

1 shows a perspective view of the living space expansion module according to the invention 10 on a building 30th and various transport facilities 40 . The illustration only illustrates the principle of the living space extension module schematically 10 . At the building 30th are two living space expansion modules 10.1 and 10.2 arranged. The living space expansion module 10.1 is already in its connection position with the building 30th , while the living space expansion module 10.2 with a transport device 40 in the design of an elevator system 46 is coupled and to its connection position with the building 30th or from this to another transport facility 40 is spent with the living space expansion module 10 can be transported to another location.

Examples are in 1 further transport facilities 40 in the form of a drone 44 and a road transport facility 42 shown with the living space expansion module 10 can be coupled. As in 1 can be seen using the living room extension module 10 the living space of the building 30th be expanded. However, the space required for this is above street level and does not restrict traffic and thus also possible parking areas or footpaths.

In 2 are possible positions for coupling devices 20th on a living space expansion module 10 shown in a perspective view. The living space expansion module 10 In this exemplary embodiment, it is essentially cuboid with generously rounded edges educated. The living space expansion module 10 has a window 14th on.

On one side of the living space expansion module 10 that the building 30th while the connection should be facing is a closable opening 22nd designed with a door system that has at least four door elements 16 has, is closed. On the same side of the living space expansion module 10 are four coupling devices 20th educated. Should a living space expansion module 10 to a building 30th are coupled, the coupling devices 20th of the living space expansion module 10 with the coupling devices (not shown) of the building 30th engaged. The building-side coupling devices and the coupling device of the transport devices 40 are advantageously carried out in the same way. This allows the coupling devices 20th of the living space expansion module 10 can be easily connected to both.

Further coupling devices 20th are at the top of the living space expansion module 10 so that it can be used as an elevator system or as a drone (in 2 both not shown) trained transport device 40 the living space expansion module 10 can pick up and transport from above. Further coupling devices 20th are on the long sides of the living space extension module 10 trained where they accommodate the living space expansion module 10 by means of laterally coupled transport devices 40 serve as well as on the floor of the living space expansion module 10 for mounting on transport equipment 40 such as road transport facilities 42 or lifting platforms 50 (in 2 both not shown).

The number of switches 20th depends on the weight of the living space extension module 10 and its size as well as the specific design of the transport devices to be coupled 40 .

3 shows a selection of possible door systems and their opening options. The respective opening direction of the door elements is indicated by arrows 16 illustrated.

In 3a shows the living space expansion module 10 a door element 16 on that the closable opening 12 by rolling up, as is known from garage doors, exterior shutters on buildings and the like, opens and closes.

In 3b is the door system with two door elements 16 formed, each of which is folded about vertical axes, around the closable opening 12 to release or to close. Depending on the position of the attachment point of the door elements 16 , i.e. their hinges in the reveal of the living space expansion module 10 , the door elements 16 unfolded in such a way that, when open, they cover the reveal of the living space extension module 10 and buildings 30th , and cover the joint formed in between and thus act as a transition system at the same time. This can prevent coupling devices from touching 20th , Interfaces, edges and the like during the connection of the living space expansion module 10 and buildings 30th and thus a risk of injury can be prevented.

In 3c is the door system with two door elements 16 shown, each of which is unfolded around a horizontal axis. As in 3b shown, the opened door elements 16 in this position also act as a transitional system, in 3c in the ceiling and floor area. This also allows a level transition between the living space extension module 10 and buildings 30th , as the door element folded down 16 can also be used as a ramp.

The 3d and 3e show sliding door elements 16 , with the door panels 16 in 3d be pushed apart along a vertical axis and into 3e along a horizontal axis. At the in 3e The embodiment shown is the door system with several door elements 16 formed by means of a rail system in the edge area of the closable opening 12 can be arranged one behind the other to save space.

4th shows different configurations of transport devices 40 on a building 30th . When you reach the desired position on the building 30th the coupling takes place with this. Is the coupling with the building 30th takes place safely, decouples the transport device 40 away from the living space expansion module 10 and moves to another position. Arrows indicate the possible directions of movement of the transport devices 40 .

In 4a is the living space expansion module 10 with one as an elevator system 46 trained transport device 40 coupled. Is the desired height on the building 30th reached, one drives as a mobile platform 47 designed transport device 40 under the living space extension module 10 , is coupled to this and moves it horizontally into the desired position where it is coupled to the building 30th he follows.

In 4b is the transport facility 40 with a balloon 48 and strong, on the side edges of the building 30th arranged magnets 49 educated. The balloon 48 is attached to the living space extension module from above 10 coupled and promotes the living space expansion module 10 in the vertical direction. The lateral positioning is done by a suitable control of the magnets 49 .

3c shows a scissor lift 50 as a transport device 40 who have favourited the living space expansion module 10 both vertically and horizontally to the desired connection position with the building 30th transported.

A cable system 52 , which can be assigned to the group of hoists, is a transport device 40 in the 4d shown. This cable system 52 can the living space expansion module 10 position both vertically and horizontally.

In 4e couples one as an elevator system 46 trained transport facility 40 from above to the living space extension module 10 and transports it to the desired height. A mobile platform moves there 47 under the living space extension module 10 and connects to this. After the elevator system 46 from the living space expansion module 10 is decoupled, the mobile platform 47 the living space expansion module 10 move in the horizontal direction. This in 4f shown elevator system 46 is designed, the living space expansion module 10 to convey in horizontal and vertical direction.

In 4g is the transport facility 40 as a movable hydraulic lifting platform 50 , also known as a stamp, and enables the living space expansion module to be transported 10 in horizontal and vertical directions.

Also a drone 44 can, as in 4h illustrates the living space expansion module 10 to a desired position on the building 30th promote.

The transport device 40 in 4i is with a forklift-like hoist 52 and a rail system 54 educated. The living space expansion module 10 by means of a road transport facility 42 to the building 30th pulled up and off the hoist 52 recorded. Vertical transport is carried out using the hoist 52 , the horizontal transport along the rail system 54 . In this figure are also views of the living space expansion module 10 shown from below. There are recordings in it 18th recognizable for a support system and / or a transport device, by means of which the living space expansion module 10 along the rail system 54 is guided, or alternatively into the building-side supports (not shown) can be inserted in order to interact with the building-side support system the connection between buildings 30th and living space expansion module 10 additionally secure.

In the 4y and 4k are the transport devices as lifting equipment 52 , namely as a crane in 4y and as a cable system in 4k educated. In both figures, the vertical and horizontal positioning of the living space expansion module takes place 10 by means of the hoist 52 .

The aforementioned directions of movement and sequences can easily take place in alternating order and the living space extension module 10 both to a desired position on the building 30th as well as from this to a transfer position where the living space expansion module 10 to another transport facility 40 can be passed, move.

Even if in 4th only one takeover from a ground-based transport facility 40 is illustrated, the transport devices shown 40 can also be designed in such a way that they can use a drone 44 on the roof of a building 30th brought living space expansion module 10 and at the desired positions on the building 30th can convey. It is also possible to couple a living space expansion module 10 on horizontal surfaces of a building 30th respectively.

5 shows a sequence of perspective views which exemplify the positioning and connection of a living space expansion module with a building.

A living space expansion module 10 is with a road transport facility 42 coupled and in front of a building 30th , which is only partially shown here, positioned. The road-going transport device 42 is designed with all components that are required for locomotion and has the living space extension module 10 autonomous to the building 30th spent.

There is an elevator system on the building 46 provided, which for architectural reasons is hidden as little visible as possible in shadow gaps and the like for the viewer. The elevator system 46 the living space expansion module takes hold 10 from above and connects to it by means of the coupling devices 20th (Not shown). Is the coupling with the elevator system 46 takes place, the road transport device is decoupled 42 and the transport of the living space extension module 10 to the desired position on the building 30th can start ( 4b) . The road-going transport device 42 can now move to a parking position.

The elevator system 46 can the living space expansion module 10 move vertically and horizontally along the building, as with the arrows in 5b and 5c is illustrated. In 5c are also additional living space expansion modules 10 as well as closed openings on the building side 34 shown to which the living space expansion module 10 can be moved.

Is the rough positioning of the living space extension module 10 occurs, it is done by the elevator system 46 vertical to the building opening 34 aligned as the arrow shows. Then drive as in 5e shown by arrows, building-side girders 32 in order to interact with the supporting structure of the building in addition to the coupling with the coupling devices (not shown) 30th to effect. This can be done on the carriers 32 Building-side coupling devices can be provided, which are connected to the coupling devices of the living space expansion module 10 be engaged. The elevator system 46 now couples from the living space expansion module 10 and moves to another position, preferably a rest or park position.

The porters 32 If necessary, drive a small amount back into the building for fine adjustment 30th and bring in the living space extension module 10 in the final position. Thereby the interface (not shown) for information and / or energy with the building 30th coupled so that energy, monitoring and control signals as well as other media between buildings 30th and living space expansion module 10 can be exchanged. The living space expansion module is also coupled 10 at the building 30th facing area of the living space expansion module 10 by means of the coupling devices formed there. Furthermore, it blows in around the opening 12 of the living space expansion module 10 arranged hose system (not shown), and thus seals the remaining space between the living space extension module 10 and buildings 30th from.

In addition, above the living space extension module 10 building-side beams 32 be extended ( 4f) to further increase the stability of the connection. Also on these carriers 32 can be counterparts to the coupling devices 20th of the living space expansion module 10 be provided which are brought into engagement with each other. The living space expansion module 10 is now complete with the building 30th connected and the door panels 16 of the living space expansion module 10 and the building 30th can be opened.
