Definitions
- the present invention relates to a horizontally extendable construction
- a horizontally extendable construction comprising a series of rigid prefabricated elements, capable of being at will, either brought close to one another to make the construction more compact, for example for its transport, or separated from each other by position of use to then create between them rooms usable for residential and other purposes, these elements comprising connecting members linked to said elements by articulations which make it possible to put the construction in position of use by exerting on an element extreme a force which is transmitted from one element to the next through the joints, while the return of the construction to the compact state is obtained by the application to the extreme element of a force acting in the direction of approximation of said elements.
- Document EP-A-0109108 discloses a construction of the type described in the first paragraph of this specification.
- This known construction is constituted by an extendable awning comprising a series of gantries, the feet of which are provided with wheels which can roll on rails pre-established in the ground, so as to separate the gantries from one another to deploy the awning or so as to bring the gantries closer to fold the awning.
- At the porticos are articulated side walls and panels acting as a ceiling.
- the side walls and the ceiling panels of the awning described in the aforementioned document extend towards the outside of the gantries, when these are brought together, so that the height and the width of the awning are larger in the folded state than in the deployed state.
- said awning does not include elements intended to form a floor and is also not provided with means making it possible to obtain, when the awning is deployed, a series of rooms separated from each other.
- the present invention relates to a horizontally expandable construction which can be easily transported, preferably in a box or container by modern rigid means. especially by plane.
- the invention also relates to an extensible construction whose height and width are the same in the deployed state as well as in the folded state, this construction having not only side walls and a ceiling but also a floor.
- the invention also relates to an extensible construction whose deployment can be carried out quickly, without requiring special means and special skills.
- the extensible construction of the type described in the first paragraph of this specification is essentially characterized in that said prefabricated elements have the form of vertical rectangular frames, composed of two uprights connected to each other by an upper cross member and by a lower cross member and the connecting members between these frames are constituted by panels intended to form, when the construction is in the deployed state, a floor, a ceiling and possibly side walls of the construction, these panels being housed in the volume delimited by two successive frames, when these have been brought together so that the construction is in a compact state.
- the extensible construction according to the invention comprises a transportable box capable of containing the aforementioned frames and panels which are enclosed therein, when the construction is in the compact state.
- the frames and the panels hinged to them preferably form a superstructure supported before, during and after their bringing together or their spacing, on an infrastructure consisting of a system of beams hinged to each other, these beams advantageously forming, when the beams are deployed, horizontal rails on which can roll rollers carried by the lower cross member of the various frames.
- a panel called to form the floor of a room created between two frames by spacing between them is articulated by its lower edge, to the lower crosspiece of the first of these two frames, and has at the ends of its opposite edge rollers capable of rolling freely around axes parallel to this edge, in vertical rails carried by the uprights of the other frame.
- a panel called to form the ceiling of the room created between two frames by spacing between them is articulated by one of its edges to the upper crosspiece of the other frame and has, at the ends of its opposite edge, rollers capable of rolling freely around axes parallel to this edge, in vertical rails carried by the uprights of the first of said frames.
- the construction comprises two deployable accordion systems, the first system constituting a superstructure formed of upper elements which, by their deployment, will give rise to the formation of juxtaposed premises, aligned one with the other. following the others in the direction of deployment of the construction, while the second system is a system of articulated beams constituting an infrastructure to serve as support for the upper elements of the construction.
- the two systems in the folded state, find place in a box 1 with the conventional dimensions of a container. It has, on one of its vertical faces, an opening 2 (closed by a cover 3 which will be discussed later) and which will give access to all the parts of the construction which, at the start, are enclosed in this box.
- the box carries, at its four corners, jacks such as 4, independently adjustable, which allow it to be given a horizontal position on a terrain of varied profile.
- jacks such as 4, independently adjustable, which allow it to be given a horizontal position on a terrain of varied profile.
- 5 what we will call the bottom of the box.
- This bottom carries, in the vicinity of its ends, two fixed rails 6 and 7, directed perpendicular to the open face 2. These rails constitute a first part of the infrastructure 8.
- the infrastructure 8 consists of sleepers such as 9, 10 , 11 ...
- L infrastructure thus consists of a series of successive cells, the first being a rectangular cell of shorter length, contained in the box 1, where it is limited at the rear by the wall 18 of the box and at the front by the crosses 9.
- the other cells, such as 19, 20 follow one another in the same plan extending in direction of construction deployment.
- the cell 19 is shown as fully deployed and it is provided with tie rods 21 and 22 intended to stiffen it.
- the cell 20 which comprises the crosspieces 10 and 11 also comprises articulated rails 23-24 and 25-26, as has already been observed.
- the sleepers and the rails folded against each other form a package 27 carried by a sled 28.
- the sled 28 has been shown entirely only outside the construction, but, to allow a better understanding of the invention, there is also shown at 27, in front of the wall 18, the bundle of rails and crosspieces as it appears immediately before deployment.
- the construction comprising the sled 28 and the bundle of sleepers and rails 27, is housed between the rails 6 and 7.
- the rail 14 comes, as shown in FIG. 2, in extension of the rail 6, having the same direction and the same upper level as this.
- the fold in which the upper level of the rails is placed well above the level of the bottom 5, is nevertheless possible because of the particular mode of articulation of the rails 6 and 14, as seen in Figure 2.
- the end of the rail 14 actually has a tab 29 articulated at 30 at the end of the cross-member 9.
- the rail 14 is indented at its lower part and it is limited in this place by a curved part 31 operating at the like a cam on the edge of the bottom 5 of the box.
- the level of the upper face of the rail 14 is raised, during folding, relative to the level of the upper face of the rail 6, which makes it possible to have all of the folded movable rails, and of the crosspieces, between rails 6 and 7.
- a similar arrangement occurs at the other end of the cross-member 9.
- a 32 has been designated stopper and by 33 and 34 of the cables connected to the cross-member 9 and, by their other end, to the wall 18 of the box, opposite its wall 3, the cables 33 and 34 limiting the amplitude of the movement of the cross-member 9 during deployment.
- extendable devices such as 38, 39, 40, 41 ...
- These devices in principle each include two arms 42, 43 articulated at 44 to a pad 45 and also connected to a point d 'articulation 48 on a fixed base 49 by arms 46, 47.
- the base is crossed by two lead screws 50 and 51 whose ends are mounted in fixed supports 54, 55 and whose threads are arranged in opposite directions and on which move carriages 52, 53 connected by articulation points 56, 57 at the ends of the arms 42, 43.
- a crank 58 allows the screws 50, 51 to be turned (by an obvious mechanism not shown) and, consequently , to bring the ends of the arms 42, 43 closer or further apart. This results in a variation in the height of the rail (for example 15) relative to the ground on which the shoe 45 rests.
- the infrastructure is first deployed by means of a traction exerted on the cable 59 which transmits this force, by the cables 60 and 61, to the sled 28.
- This sled loaded with the packet 27 of the sleepers and rails, then extracts the infrastructure from the box 1 and successively deploys the different cells 19, 20 ... of the infrastructure.
- the leveling thereof is done gradually using supports 38, 39, 40, 41 and others, and there is then a flat and firm seat for the superstructure to be described below.
- the construction is folded back by bringing the sled 28 closer to the box 1, by pulling on cables 62, 63 attached to the sled 28.
- the superstructure which constitutes the essential part of the construction according to the invention consists, in main order, of successive panels parallel to each other and perpendicular to the direction of deployment of the construction.
- panels possibly with openings in vertical section in Figure 9 where they are indicated by 64, 65, 66 for successive elements 67, 68, 69 ...
- Around these panels are fixed composite frames each of two crosspieces, one upper 70, the other lower 71 (for the element 68 which will be described alone, the others being identical), and two uprights of which only the rear upright 72 appears in FIG. 9 (for item 68).
- the frames are fixed to the panels by angles such as 77, 78.
- the lower cross members of the frames (such as 71 for element 68 ) carry at their front and rear ends rollers such as 76 (for element 68), which roll on the rails 12, 13, 23, 24 ... of the deployed infrastructure and which are carried by the fixed rails 6 , 7 of box 1 when the construction is folded.
- the uprights of the frames also carry rails such as 79 (on element 68) and 80 (on element 69), the use of which will be explained below.
- the successive elements such as 67, 68, 69 carry hooks (articulated at the ends of the crosspieces) such as 81, 82, 83, 84 hanging on pegs (not shown) from neighboring elements, and which hold them tight against each other in the folded position of the construction, and that rods (such as 85, 86 ...) connect to the articulation members of the construction, so that during deployment, these hooks are raised one after the other and release the successive elements 67, 68, 69 by allowing them to move away from each other.
- the elements of the superstructure further comprise articulation members connecting them to each other.
- articulation members connecting them to each other.
- the parts hinged together are shutters which can be either for each room, its only floor, or its floor and its ceiling (case of Figures 6, 7, 8, 9 and Figures 15, 16, 17, 18 in a second embodiment), or side walls of the premises (as in FIG. 20).
- the floor of a room limited by elements 68, 69 is indicated by 87 and the ceiling is indicated by 88.
- the floor 87 is articulated by its lower edge (at 89) to the lower cross member 90 of element 69 of the construction (see figure 9). It has at the ends of its opposite edge, at 91, 92, rollers of which only one, 91, is visible in FIG. 9. This roller rolls in the rail 79 of the upright (rear, here) of the element 68 At each of its lateral edges, the floor panel 87 has a lateral arm such as 93 (FIGS.
- the panel 88 called to form the ceiling of the room limited by the elements 68 and 69 is articulated by one of its edges, at 94, to the upper crosspiece 70 of the frame of the element 68 and it carries, at the ends of the opposite horizontal edge panel 88, rollers such as 95 (only one of these rollers being visible), rolling freely in the rail 80 of the element 69.
- a lateral arm 97 plays the same role as the arm 93 of the floor.
- the edges of the floor panels 87 and ceiling 88, carrying the respective rollers 91, 95 are connected together, at the front and at the rear of the construction, each time by a compensating cable such as 98.
- This cable can be mounted in two ways (figure 13 and figure 14).
- the cable 98 passes over two return pulleys 99 and 100 rotating around axes mounted in the upper crosspieces of the frames of the elements 68, 69 limiting the room being deployed.
- the cable 98 is returned to the pulley 91 of the floor 87 and fixed by its end (at 101) to the upper cross member of the corresponding frame.
- the cable passes over a pulley 102 mounted on the edge of the panel 88 at the point of articulation of the lateral lever 97.
- the arrangement of the compensating cables is protected by removable roofs such as 96 (FIGS. 10 and 11).
- FIG. 6 As regards the side walls of the construction, generally provided with windows and doors, it can be seen in FIG. 6 that these are panels 109 which can rotate around a vertical hinge 110 (not visible) carried by one of the frames limiting the room.
- Figures 15, 16, 17 and 18 show, in views similar to those of Figures 6, 7, 8 and 9, another embodiment of the invention, for making larger premises.
- the floor of the room then consists of two panels 117, 118 hinged to each other along their upper edges (at 119) and articulated by their other edges 120, 121 (see FIG. 16) to the lower crosspieces of the two frames ⁇ (here 122, 123) which limit the room considered.
- the ceiling is, in such an arrangement, made up of two panels 124, 125 articulated to each other by their edges at the apex 126 marked by an apex, the opposite edges of said panels carrying rollers 127, 128 capable of rolling freely in rails 129, 130 (FIG. 18) carried by the uprights 131, 132 of two opposite frames 123, 122.
- the compensation cable 133 connecting floor and ceiling passes over pulleys 134, 135, 136, 137 mounted on axes parallel to the edges of the corresponding panels.
- a second cable 138 connected to the outer edges of the panels 124, 125 forming the ceiling serves as a tensioner maintaining the angle a between these panels to a predetermined maximum value.

Des constructions extensibles, destinées à être transportées sous un volume réduit et à être déployées pour leur utilisation en leur lieu de destination, sont connues sous plusieurs formes depuis longtemps. Elles ont cependant acquis actuellement une importance croissante, notamment du fait des cataclysmes naturels survenus de plus en plus fréquemment ces dernières années, et qui exigent un transport commode et une installation rapide d'hôpitaux et autres locaux médicaux de fortune, de magasins, d'ateliers, etc.Extensible constructions, intended to be transported in a reduced volume and to be deployed for their use at their place of destination, have been known in several forms for a long time. However, they have now acquired an increasing importance, in particular because of the natural cataclysms which have occurred more and more frequently in recent years, and which require convenient transportation and rapid installation of hospitals and other makeshift medical premises, shops, workshops, etc.
On connaît par le document EP-A-0109108 une construction du type décrit dans le premier paragraphe du' présent mémoire. Cette construction connue est constituée par un auvent extensible comportant une série de portiques dont les pieds sont munis de roues pouvant rouler sur des rails pré-établis dans le sol, de manière à écarter les portiques les uns des autres pour déployer l'auvent ou de manière à rapprocher les portiques pour replier l'auvent. Aux portiques sont articulés des parois latérales et des panneaux faisant office de plafond.Document EP-A-0109108 discloses a construction of the type described in the first paragraph of this specification. This known construction is constituted by an extendable awning comprising a series of gantries, the feet of which are provided with wheels which can roll on rails pre-established in the ground, so as to separate the gantries from one another to deploy the awning or so as to bring the gantries closer to fold the awning. At the porticos are articulated side walls and panels acting as a ceiling.
Les parois latérales et les panneaux de plafond de l'auvent décrits dans le document précité s'étendent vers l'extérieur des portiques, lorsque ceux-ci sont rapprochés l'un de l'autre, de sorte que la hauteur et la largeur de l'auvent sont plus grandes à l'état replié qu'à l'état déployé.The side walls and the ceiling panels of the awning described in the aforementioned document extend towards the outside of the gantries, when these are brought together, so that the height and the width of the awning are larger in the folded state than in the deployed state.
Par ailleurs, ledit auvent ne comporte pas d'éléments destinés à former un plancher et n'est pas non plus muni de moyens permettant d'obtenir, lorsque l'auvent est déployé, une série de locaux séparés entre eux.Furthermore, said awning does not include elements intended to form a floor and is also not provided with means making it possible to obtain, when the awning is deployed, a series of rooms separated from each other.
On connaît, par ailleurs, des constructions destinées à être transportées sur roues et se présentant notamment sous forme de roulotte pourvue de moyens nécessaires pour augmenter leur volume au moment de leur installation.There are also known constructions intended to be transported on wheels and in particular in the form of a trailer provided with means necessary to increase their volume at the time of their installation.

Dans la forme de réalisation qui va être décrite maintenant, la construction comprend deux systèmes déployables en accordéon, le premier système constituant une superstructure formée d'éléments supérieurs qui, par leur déploiement, donneront lieu à la formation de locaux juxtaposés, alignés les uns à la suite des autres dans la direction de déploiement de la construction, tandis que le deuxième système est un système de poutres articulées constituant une infrastructure pour servir de support aux éléments supérieurs de la construction.In the embodiment which will now be described, the construction comprises two deployable accordion systems, the first system constituting a superstructure formed of upper elements which, by their deployment, will give rise to the formation of juxtaposed premises, aligned one with the other. following the others in the direction of deployment of the construction, while the second system is a system of articulated beams constituting an infrastructure to serve as support for the upper elements of the construction.
Les deux systèmes, à l'état replié, trouvent place dans un caisson 1 aux dimensions classiques d'un conteneur. Il présente, sur l'une de ses faces verticales, une ouverture 2 (fermée par un couvercle 3 dont il sera question ultérieurement) et qui donnera accès à toutes les parties de la construction qui, au départ, sont enfermées dans ce caisson. Le caisson porte, à ses quatre coins, des vérins tels que 4, indépendamment réglables, qui permettent de lui donner une position horizontale sur un terrain de profil varié. On a désigné par 5 ce que l'on appellera le fond du caisson. Ce fond porte, au voisinage de ses extrémités, deux rails fixes 6 et 7, dirigés perpendiculairement à la face ouverte 2. Ces rails constituent une première partie de l'infrastructure 8. L'infrastructure 8 se compose de traverses telles que 9, 10, 11 ... constamment parallèles entre elles, et de rails latéraux composés chacun d'une paire de poutres 12, 13, respectivement 14, 15, articulées l'une à l'autre par une de leurs extrémités, comme visible en 16 et 17 sur la figure 1, les autres extrémités de ces poutres étant articulées aux traverses 9, 10. Les poutres 12, 13 et 14, 15 se placent, lors du déploiement de la construction, dans le prolongement des rails fixes 6 et 7. L'infrastructure se compose ainsi d'une série de cellules successives, la première étant une cellule rectangulaire de moindre longueur, contenue dans le caisson 1, où elle est limitée à l'arrière par la paroi 18 du caisson et à l'avant par la traverse 9. Les autres cellules, telles que 19, 20 se succèdent dans un même plan s'étendant dans la direction de déploiement de la construction. La cellule 19 est représentée comme complètement déployée et elle est munie de tirants 21 et 22 destinés à la raidir. La cellule 20 qui comprend les traverses 10 et 11 comprend aussi des rails 23-24 et 25-26 articulés, ainsi qu'on l'a déjà observé. Avant le déploiement de l'infrastructure, les traverses et les rails repliés l'un contre l'autre forment un paquet 27 porté par un traîneau 28. Le traîneau 28 n'a été représenté entièrement qu'à l'extérieur de la construction, mais, pour permettre une meilleure compréhension de l'invention, on a représenté encore en 27, devant la paroi 18, le paquet de rails et de traverses tel qu'il se présente immédiatement avant le déploiement.The two systems, in the folded state, find place in a
A l'état replié, la construction comprenant le traîneau 28 et le paquet de traverses et de rails 27, est logée entre les rails 6 et 7. Dans le déploiement, le rail 14 vient, comme le montre la figure 2, en prolongement du rail 6, ayant même direction et même niveau supérieur que celui-ci. Le repli dans lequel le niveau supérieur des rails est placé bien au-dessus du niveau du fond 5, est néanmoins possible en raison du mode particulier d'articulation des rails 6 et 14, comme on le voit sur la figure 2. L'extrémité du rail 14 présente en fait une patte 29 articulée en 30 à l'extrémité de la traverse 9. D'autre part, le rail 14 est échancré à sa partie inférieure et il est limité en cet endroit par une partie courbe 31 fonctionnant à la façon d'une came sur le rebord du fond 5 du caisson.In the folded state, the construction comprising the
Grâce à cette disposition, le niveau de la face supérieure du rail 14 est relevé, lors du repli, par rapport au niveau de la face supérieure du rail 6, ce qui permet de disposer l'ensemble des rails mobiles repliés, et des traverses, entre les rails 6 et 7.Thanks to this arrangement, the level of the upper face of the
Une disposition analogue se présente à l'autre extrémité de la traverse 9. On a désigné par 32 un taquet d'arrêt et par 33 et 34 des câbles reliés à la traverse 9 et, par leur autre extrémité, à la paroi 18 du caisson, opposée à sa paroi 3, les câbles 33 et 34 limitant l'amplitude du déplacement de la traverse 9 au cours du déploiement.A similar arrangement occurs at the other end of the
L'articulation des rails mobiles tels que 15, 26 et de la traverse 10 comprise entre eux (figure 3) se fait également par l'intermédiaire de pattes telles que 35 (reliée au rail 15) et 36 (reliée au rail 26). Les pattes 35 et 36 sont articulées l'une à l'autre en 37.The articulation of the movable rails such as 15, 26 and of the
L'infrastructure est complétée par des dispositifs extensibles tels que 38, 39, 40, 41 ... Ces dispositifs (figure 5) comprennent en principe chacun deux bras 42, 43 articulés en 44 à un patin 45 et reliés également à un point d'articulation 48 sur une embase fixe 49 par des bras 46, 47. L'embase est traversée par deux vis mères 50 et 51 dont les extrémités sont montées dans des supports fixes 54, 55 et dont les filets sont disposés en sens contraires et sur lesquelles se déplacent des chariots 52, 53 reliés par des points d'articulation 56, 57 aux extrémités des bras 42, 43. Une manivelle 58 permet de faire tourner les vis 50, 51 (par un mécanisme évident non représenté) et, par conséquent, de rapprocher ou d'éloigner l'une de l'autre les extrémités des bras 42, 43. Il en résulte une variation de la hauteur du rail (par exemple 15) par rapport au sol sur lequel repose le patin 45.The infrastructure is completed by extendable devices such as 38, 39, 40, 41 ... These devices (Figure 5) in principle each include two
Pour édifier la construction, on déploie d'abord l'infrastructure au moyen d'une traction exercée sur le câble 59 qui transmet cette force, par les câbles 60 et 61, au traîneau 28. Ce traîneau, chargé du paquet 27 des traverses et des rails, extrait alors l'infrastructure du caisson 1 et déploie successivement les différentes cellules 19, 20 ... de l'infrastructure. La mise à niveau de celle-ci se fait progressivement à l'aide des supports 38, 39, 40, 41 et autres, et on dispose alors d'une assise plane et ferme pour la superstructure à décrire ci-après.To build the construction, the infrastructure is first deployed by means of a traction exerted on the
Le repli de la construction s'opère en rapprochant le traîneau 28 du caisson 1, par traction sur des câbles 62, 63 attachés au traîneau 28.The construction is folded back by bringing the
La superstructure qui constitue la partie essentielle de la construction suivant l'invention se compose en ordre principal de panneaux successifs parallèles les uns aux autres et perpendiculaires à la direction de déploiement de la construction. On voit de tels panneaux, éventuellement munis d'ouvertures en coupe verticale à la figure 9 où ils sont indiqués par 64, 65, 66 pour des éléments successifs 67, 68, 69 ... Au pourtour de ces panneaux sont fixés des cadres composés chacun de deux traverses, l'une supérieure 70, l'autre inférieure 71 (pour l'élément 68 qui sera seul décrit, les autres étant identiques), et de deux montants dont seul le montant postérieur 72 apparaît à la figure 9 (pour l'élément 68).The superstructure which constitutes the essential part of the construction according to the invention consists, in main order, of successive panels parallel to each other and perpendicular to the direction of deployment of the construction. We see such panels, possibly with openings in vertical section in Figure 9 where they are indicated by 64, 65, 66 for
Aux figures 6, 7, 8, on voit ces montants antérieurs tels que 73, 74, 75. Les cadres sont fixés aux panneaux par des cornières telles que 77, 78. Les traverses inférieures des cadres (telles que 71 pour l'élément 68) portent à leurs extrémités antérieure et postérieure des galets tels que 76 (pour l'élément 68), qui roulent sur les rails 12, 13, 23, 24 ... de l'infrastructure déployée et qui sont portés par les rails fixes 6, 7 du caisson 1 lorsque la construction est repliée.In Figures 6, 7, 8, we see these anterior uprights such as 73, 74, 75. The frames are fixed to the panels by angles such as 77, 78. The lower cross members of the frames (such as 71 for element 68 ) carry at their front and rear ends rollers such as 76 (for element 68), which roll on the
Les montants des cadres portent en outre des rails tels que 79 (sur l'élément 68) et 80 (sur l'élément 69), dont l'emploi sera exposé dans la suite. Enfin, les éléments successifs tels que 67, 68, 69 portent des crochets (articulés aux extrémités des traverses) tels que 81, 82, 83, 84 s'accrochant sur des pitons (non représentés) d'éléments voisins, et qui les maintiennent serrés les uns contre les autres dans la position de repli de la construction, et que des tringles (telles que 85, 86 ...) relient aux organes d'articulation de la construction, en sorte que lors du déploiement, ces crochets se soulèvent les uns après les autres et libèrent les éléments successifs 67, 68, 69 en leur permettant de s'écarter les uns des autres.The uprights of the frames also carry rails such as 79 (on element 68) and 80 (on element 69), the use of which will be explained below. Finally, the successive elements such as 67, 68, 69 carry hooks (articulated at the ends of the crosspieces) such as 81, 82, 83, 84 hanging on pegs (not shown) from neighboring elements, and which hold them tight against each other in the folded position of the construction, and that rods (such as 85, 86 ...) connect to the articulation members of the construction, so that during deployment, these hooks are raised one after the other and release the
Les éléments de la superstructure comprennent en outre des organes d'articulation les reliant les uns aux autres. Lorsqu'on déploie la construction en exerçant une traction sur un élément ou cadre extrême 3, ces organes jouent les uns par rapport aux autres jusqu'à leur extension extrême. Ainsi, les différents locaux de la construction s'étendent pas à pas, le déploiement de l'un quelconque d'entre eux commençant lorsque le déploiement du précédent (plus proche du point d'application de la traction) a eu lieu.The elements of the superstructure further comprise articulation members connecting them to each other. When the construction is deployed by exerting traction on an extreme element or
On décrira à présent une forme de réalisation de ces moyens d'articulation et de leurs accessoires. Dans cette forme de réalisation, les parties articulées entre elles sont des volets qui peuvent être, soit, pour chaque local, son plancher seul, soit son plancher et son plafond (cas des figures 6, 7, 8, 9 et des figures 15, 16, 17, 18 dans une seconde forme de réalisation), soit des parois latérales des locaux (comme sur la figure 20).We will now describe an embodiment of these articulation means and their accessories. In this embodiment, the parts hinged together are shutters which can be either for each room, its only floor, or its floor and its ceiling (case of Figures 6, 7, 8, 9 and Figures 15, 16, 17, 18 in a second embodiment), or side walls of the premises (as in FIG. 20).
Dans une forme de réalisation, le plancher d'un local limité par des éléments 68, 69 est indiqué par 87 et le plafond est indiqué par 88. Le plancher 87 est articulé par son bord inférieur (en 89) à la traverse inférieure 90 de l'élément 69 de la construction (voir figure 9). Il présente aux extrémités de son bord opposé, en 91, 92, des galets dont seul l'un, 91, est visible à la figure 9. Ce galet roule dans le rail 79 du montant (postérieur, ici) de l'élément 68. A chacun de ses bords latéraux, le panneau de plancher 87 présente un bras latéral tel que 93 (figures 7 et 8), articulé par une de ses extrémités au milieu du bord correspondant du panneau 87, et articulé par son autre extrémité en un point (caché par le montant 73 du cadre 68) à la traverse inférieure 71 du cadre portant le rail 79 dans lequel se déplace le galet 91 dudit bord correspondant (bord arrière, ici) du panneau 87.In one embodiment, the floor of a room limited by
Le panneau 88 appelé à former le plafond du local limité par les éléments 68 et 69 est articulé par un de ses bords, en 94, à la traverse supérieure 70 du cadre de l'élément 68 et il porte, aux extrémités du bord horizontal opposé du panneau 88, des galets tels que 95 (un seul de ces galets étant visible), roulant librement dans le rail 80 de l'élément 69. Un bras latéral 97 joue le même rôle que le bras 93 du plancher.The
On comprend que lorsque les éléments 68 et 69 s'écartent l'un de l'autre lors du déploiement de la construction, le plancher, tournant autour de l'articulation 89, et le plafond, tournant autour de l'articulation 94, viennent prendre leur place normale et limitent ainsi l'extension du local correspondant.It is understood that when the
Les bords des panneaux de plancher 87 et de plafond 88, porteurs des galets de roulement respectifs 91, 95 sont reliés entre eux, à l'avant et à l'arrière de la construction, chaque fois par un câble compensateur tel que 98. Ce câble peut être monté de deux façons (figure 13 et figure 14). A la figure 13, le câble 98 passe sur deux poulies de renvoi 99 et 100 tournant autour d'axes montés dans les traverses supérieures des cadres des éléments 68, 69 limitant le local en cours de déploiement. Dans le cas de la figure 13, le câble 98 est renvoyé sur la poulie 91 du plancher 87 et fixé par son extrémité (en 101) à la traverse supérieure du cadre correspondant. Dans le cas de la figure 14, le câble passe sur une poulie 102 montée sur le bord du panneau 88 au point d'articulation du levier latéral 97. La disposition des câbles compensateurs est protégée par des toits amovibles tels que 96 (figures 10 et 11).The edges of the
Lorsque le panneau de plancher 87 est plus lourd que le panneau de plafond 88, c'est le premier qui, par l'action du câble 98, contribue à soulever le second, lorsque commence le déploiement de la construction.When the
Lors du repli de la construction, en exerçant une force de rappel suivant la flèche f1 de la figure 8, qui s'obtient par le treuil 103 rappelant le câble 104, il est avantageux de faciliter la remontée du plancher (ici 105) en permettant à un galet 106 tournant librement près de l'extrémité de celui-ci, de gravir une poutrelle formant rampe, 107, qui repose sur le sol en 108, et, par son autre extrémité, s'appuie sur le caisson 1 et qu'on retire après cette opération.When the construction is folded back, by exerting a restoring force along arrow f1 in FIG. 8, which is obtained by the
En ce qui concerne les parois latérales de la construction, munies généralement de fenêtres et de portes, on voit sur la figure 6 qu'il s'agit de panneaux 109 qui peuvent tourner autour d'une charnière verticale 110 (non visible) portée par l'un des cadres limitant le local.As regards the side walls of the construction, generally provided with windows and doors, it can be seen in FIG. 6 that these are
Enfin, il y a lieu de remarquer que l'étanchéité entre le plafond 88 et l'élément suivant 111 (figures 6 et 12) s'obtient par compénétration d'une échancrure 112 prévue dans le plafond 88 et d'une saillie 113 de l'élément 111, cette disposition se répétant par la coopération d'une saillie 114 de l'élément 88 et d'une échancrure 115 de l'élément 111. Il est possible en outre de couler un joint 116 entre les éléments coopérants qui peuvent, au surplus, être réunis par un verrou. Une disposition analogue peut être prévue au niveau des planchers.Finally, it should be noted that the seal between the
Les figures 15, 16, 17 et 18 montrent, dans des vues analogues à celles des figures 6, 7, 8 et 9, une autre forme de réalisation de l'invention, permettant de réaliser des locaux plus grands. Le plancher du local se compose alors de deux panneaux 117, 118 articulés l'un à l'autre le long de leurs bords supérieurs (en 119) et articulés par leurs autres bords 120, 121 (voir figure 16) aux traverses inférieures des deux cadres ·(ici 122, 123) qui limitent le local considéré.Figures 15, 16, 17 and 18 show, in views similar to those of Figures 6, 7, 8 and 9, another embodiment of the invention, for making larger premises. The floor of the room then consists of two
Le plafond est, dans une telle disposition, constitué de deux panneaux 124, 125 articulés l'un à l'autre par leurs bords au sommet 126 marqué par une pièce faîtière, les bords opposés desdits panneaux portant des galets 127, 128 susceptibles de rouler librement dans des rails 129, 130 (figure 18) portés par les montants 131, 132 de deux cadres opposés 123, 122.The ceiling is, in such an arrangement, made up of two
Dans cette construction, le câble de compensation 133 reliant plancher et plafond passe sur des poulies 134, 135, 136, 137 montées sur des axes parallèles aux bords des panneaux correspondants. Un second câble 138 relié aux bords extérieurs des panneaux 124, 125 formant le plafond sert de tendeur maintenant l'angle a entre ces panneaux à une valeur maximale prédéterminée.In this construction, the
Les milieux des bords des panneaux de plafond sont reliés à articulation, chacun par au moins un bras télescopique 139, 140, aux traverses supérieures des cadres 122, 123 limitant le local.The midpoints of the edges of the ceiling panels are connected to articulation, each by at least one
Les figures 19 et 20 montrent schématiquement deux formes de construction en variante des précédentes.Figures 19 and 20 schematically show two forms of construction as a variant of the previous ones.
A la figure 19, le système de panneaux de plancher et de plafond est inversé par rapport à celui des figures 15, 16, 17, 18, c'est-à-dire que les sommets des angles formés par les panneaux respectifs pointent ici dans des sens opposés l'un à l'autre.In FIG. 19, the system of floor and ceiling panels is reversed with respect to that of FIGS. 15, 16, 17, 18, that is to say that the vertices of the angles formed by the respective panels point here in opposite directions to each other.
A la figure 20, les parois latérales 141, 142 de la construction servent d'organes de liaison articulés à des éléments ou cadres 143, 144 opposés.In FIG. 20, the
Comme on l'a vu, la construction extensible suivant l'invention permet d'obtenir un grand volume de locaux habitables, à partir d'au moins un caisson ou conteneur. Du fait que la construction suivant l'invention peut être contenue dans un caisson, elle peut être facilement transportée par des moyens de transport rapides à l'endroit désiré sans qu'il soit nécessaire de disposer de personnels qualifiés ou de machines compliquées pour la pose de rails, des travaux de terrassement et le déploiement de la construction, ce déploiement pouvant s'effectuer très rapidement par simple traction exercée sur des cadres extrêmes ou par déplacement du caisson par rapport à ces cadres.As we have seen, the extensible construction according to the invention makes it possible to obtain a large volume of habitable premises, from at least one box or container. Since the construction according to the invention can be contained in a box, it can be easily transported by rapid means of transport to the desired location without the need for qualified personnel or complicated machines for installation. rails, earthworks and the deployment of the construction, this deployment being able to be carried out very quickly by simple traction exerted on extreme frames or by displacement of the box relative to these frames.
La construction suivant l'invention peut être utilisée de manière temporaire à l'endroit désiré et, après son utilisation, elle peut être transportée en un autre endroit, sans nécessiter l'abandon sur place de certains éléments qui la composent, tels que rails, plancher ou fondation.The construction according to the invention can be used temporarily at the desired location and, after its use, it can be transported to another location, without requiring the abandonment on the spot of certain elements that compose it, such as rails, floor or foundation.
Les éléments, tels que plancher 87, 117, 118, plafond 88, 124, 125, panneaux 64, 65, 66 et parois latérales 109 qui sont logés dans les cadres 67, 68, 69, 122, 123 lorsque la construction est repliée, peuvent porter des équipements rabattables, tels que lits, tables, armoires, bancs, etc., la profondeur de ces cadres variant selon l'encombrement desdits éléments et équipements.Elements, such as
