Abstract

Transportable construction element in the form of a container (1), comprising at least one hinged panel (4) capable of pivoting between a closed position and an open position swung outwards, as well as an internal structure (11) open downwards, comprising an upper panel (12), a front panel (13) and at least two side panels (14) and having a rear opening opposite the said front panel. This internal structure is supported by the container so as to be movable along a path (F), between an inserted position, situated inside the container, and an extended position, in which the hinged panel of the container forms a floor for the internal structure.

Description

La présente invention est relative à un élément de construction transportable en forme de conteneur, comprenant

  • une paroi de plancher, une paroi de plafond et des parois latérales mutuellement assemblées ainsi que des éléments de coin agencés sur le conteneur pour recevoir des forces extérieures de compression ou de traction, et
  • au moins un panneau articulé capable de pivoter entre une position de fermeture, dans laquelle il forme au moins une partie d'une desdites parois de l'élément de construction, et une position d'ouverture, déployée vers l'extérieur.
The present invention relates to a transportable building element in the form of a container, comprising
  • a floor wall, a ceiling wall and mutually assembled side walls as well as corner elements arranged on the container to receive external compressive or tensile forces, and
  • at least one articulated panel capable of pivoting between a closed position, in which it forms at least part of one of said walls of the building element, and an open position, deployed outwards.

On connaît déjà des éléments de construction transportables en forme de conteneur de ce genre, et notamment ceux décrits dans le LU-A-85595 ou dans son correpondant, le EP-A-0178714.Already known transportable construction elements in the form of a container of this kind, and in particular those described in LU-A-85595 or in its correspondent, EP-A-0178714.

Dans ce brevet, il est prévu un panneau articulé formant une paroi latérale entière du conteneur. Ce panneau articulé peut être amené à pivoter vers l'extérieur de façon qu'en position déployée sa surface interne soit coplanaire à la surface interne du plancher du conteneur. Le panneau articulé est relié de manière fixe à deux des éléments de coin, qui sont agencés aux coins du conteneur pour recevoir des forces extérieures de compression ou de traction, notamment lors du transport du conteneur et du montage d'une construction à partir de ce conteneur. Au cours de son pivotement vers l'extérieur, le panneau articulé entraîne avec lui ces deux éléments de coin, pour former une construction stable et solide, par exemple une passerelle de passage entre deux conteneurs assemblés. De tels conteneurs assemblés peuvent être prévus entre autres pour la réalisation d'un hôpital, par exemple mobile. Le déployement, conjointement à celui du panneau articulé, de rideaux latéraux bordant cette passerelle est également prévu dans ce brevet.In this patent, an articulated panel is provided forming an entire side wall of the container. This articulated panel can be made to pivot outwards so that in the deployed position its internal surface is coplanar with the internal surface of the floor of the container. The articulated panel is fixedly connected to two of the corner elements, which are arranged at the corners of the container to receive external forces of compression or traction, in particular during the transport of the container and the assembly of a construction from this container. During its pivoting towards the outside, the articulated panel carries with it these two corner elements, to form a stable and solid construction, for example a passage bridge between two assembled containers. Such assembled containers can be provided inter alia for the realization of a hospital, for example mobile. The deployment, together with that of the articulated panel, of side curtains bordering this gangway is also provided for in this patent.

Seul, un tel conteneur ne permet cependant pas la réalisation d'une construction rigide fermée, qui, après l'étape de déployement, présente un volume plus grand que celui du conteneur transporté, ce volume étant à l'abri de l'atmosphère extérieure et donc des intempéries, ainsi que des rayonnements, des éclats de projectiles, etc.Alone, such a container does not, however, allow the realization of a closed rigid construction, which, after the deployment step, has a greater volume than that of the transported container, this volume being sheltered from the external atmosphere. and therefore bad weather, as well as radiation, shards of projectiles, etc.

On connaît aussi depuis longtemps des conteneurs transportables qui sont pourvus d'éléments de coin et dont au moins un panneau latéral peut être amené à pivoter vers l'extérieur, certaines parois portant à l'intérieur du conteneur des engins, appareillages, équipements, mobiliers, etc..., montés à leur place définitive avant le transport (voir par exemple les brevets GB-1.347.177 et GB-1.603.613). On connaît également des conteneurs transportables, pourvus d'éléments de coin, et comportant des panneaux déployables vers l'extérieur par pivotement, qui permettent de prolonger le volume intérieur du conteneur par un auvent (voir FR-A-2.476.716). Dans ce conteneur également, des équipements et appareillages peuvent être montés définitivement à l'avance, à l'intérieur du conteneur.Transportable containers have also been known for a long time which are provided with corner elements and of which at least one side panel can be made to pivot towards the outside, certain walls carrying inside the container of vehicles, apparatus, equipment, furniture. , etc ..., assembled in their final place before transport (see for example patents GB-1,347,177 and GB-1,603,613). Transportable containers are also known, provided with corner elements, and comprising panels deployable towards the outside by pivoting, which make it possible to extend the interior volume of the container by a canopy (see FR-A-2,476,716). In this container also, equipment and devices can be permanently mounted in advance, inside the container.

Ces derniers conteneurs présentent, en position déployée, un plan de la face interne du panneau déployé qui est décalé par rapport au plan de la surface interne du plafond ou du plancher par rapport auquel il pivote. En position déployée, ces conteneurs soit sont complètement ouverts vers l'extérieur, soit présentent un auvent ouvert vers l'extérieur. Ils ne sont donc pas prévus pour former à l'état déployé une construction fermée, totalement à l'abri des intempéries.These latter containers have, in the deployed position, a plane of the internal face of the deployed panel which is offset relative to the plane of the internal surface of the ceiling or of the floor with respect to which it pivots. In the deployed position, these containers are either completely open to the outside, or have a canopy open to the outside. They are therefore not intended to form in the deployed state a closed construction, completely sheltered from the weather.

On connaît aussi des conteneurs transportables, qui permettent un agrandissement du volume du conteneur lors de son installation, et cela par un déployement souvent compliqué de panneaux pivotants (voir EP-A-0 077 103, et WO-84/00573). Ces conteneurs ne permettent toutefois pas une manutention aisée pendant le transport car ils sont dépourvus d'éléments de coin facilitant les manoeuvres par exemple pour la suspension à des engins de levage et pour la fixation sur des véhicules de transport. Leur agencement ne permet pas ou très peu le montage d'équipements lourds sur les parois internes du conteneur.Transportable containers are also known, which allow an enlargement of the volume of the container during its installation, and this by an often complicated deployment of pivoting panels (see EP-A-0 077 103, and WO-84/00573). These containers do not, however, allow easy handling during transport since they are devoid of corner elements which facilitate maneuvers, for example for suspension from lifting devices and for attachment to transport vehicles. Their arrangement does not allow or very little the mounting of heavy equipment on the inner walls of the container.

On connaît aussi une construction de camping expansible, transportable, qui après déployement présente la forme d'une maison à toit en pente et à pignons (v. US-A-3.653.165). Pour le déployement de la maison, en plus de plusieurs mouvements de pivotement de divers panneaux, il est prévu une première étape de coulissement d'une section mobile de la construction par rapport a une section fixe. Comme la section fixe, la section mobile est supportée par des crics ou vérins, ce qui est compliqué lors du coulissement de la section mobile, ou elle est supportée en porte-à-faux par la section fixe, notamment à l'aide de poutres télescopiques. Pendant le transport, aucun équipement ne peut être prévu à l'intérieur de la section mobile et peu de choses peuvent être réellement fixées à l'intérieur de la section fixe. Il s'agit ici d'une construction légère, de structure et de montage complexes, qui est dépourvue d'éléments de coin. A l'état replié, la construction ne représente pas un conteneur unique, mais elle forme toujours un ensemble de deux sections emboîtées l'une dans l'autre d'une manière apparente de l'extérieur.We also know of an expandable, transportable campsite construction which, after deployment, takes the form of a house with a sloping roof and gables (see US-A-3,653,165). For the deployment of the house, in addition to several pivoting movements of various panels, there is provided a first step of sliding a movable section of the construction relative to a fixed section. Like the fixed section, the mobile section is supported by jacks or jacks, which is complicated when the mobile section slides, or it is supported cantilevered by the fixed section, in particular using beams telescopic. During transport, no equipment can be provided inside the mobile section and little can be really fixed inside the fixed section. This is a light construction, of complex structure and assembly, which has no corner elements. In the folded state, the construction does not represent a single container, but it always forms a set of two sections nested one inside the other in an apparent manner from the outside.

En plus d'une manutention malaisée pendant le transport, cet agencement rend obligatoire un travail du tiroir, formé par la section mobile, pendant le transport. Une ouverture et une fermeture fréquentes avec changements de place successifs de cette construction endommageraient rapidement celle-ci.In addition to awkward handling during transport, this arrangement makes it compulsory to work the drawer, formed by the movable section, during transport. Frequent opening and closing with successive place changes of this construction would quickly damage it.

On connaît des constructions expansibles dont les sections externes peuvent coulisser vers l'extérieur par rapport à une section centrale interne (WO-84/01974), et qui présentent les mêmes inconvénients de manutention et d'emboîtement que la construction précédente.Expandable constructions are known, the external sections of which can slide outwards relative to an internal central section (WO-84/01974), and which have the same drawbacks in handling and nesting as the previous construction.

Ainsi qu'il est décrit dans l'introduction du US-A-3.653.165, on connaît aussi déjà pour le camping des remorques qui présentent un état compact pour le transport et un état déployé à l'aide d'une tente.As described in the introduction to US-A-3,653,165, trailers are also already known for camping which have a compact state for transport and a state deployed using a tent.

La présente invention a pour but de réaliser un élément de construction transportable en forme de conteneur du type décrit dans le préambule, qui permette une extension du volume interne de l'élément de construction d'une manière simple et très robuste, l'intérieur de la construction en position d'extension restant bien étanche à l'air et à l'eau et à l'abri des intempéries dans la totalité de son volume agrandi. Avantageusement, ce conteneur doit permettre la fixation à l'avance d'appareillages et d'équipements lourds sur un grand nombre de surfaces. Le passage de l'élément de construction de l'état de transport à volume réduit à l'état de mise en service à volume agrandi doit de préférence être rapide. Enfin, l'élément de construction doit avantageusement être très résistant aussi bien en position de transport, pour pouvoir subir des sollicitations importantes du transport, du levage ou d'autres manutentions, qu en position d'extension où la partie en extension doit elle aussi être en "dur". La construction déployée doit permettre une insolation thermique et avantageusement résister aux radiations, éclats de projectiles, etc. Un passage fréquent de l'état d'extension à l'état renfoncé ne doit poser aucun problème.The object of the present invention is to provide a transportable construction element in the form of a container of the type described in the preamble, which allows an extension of the volume. internal of the construction element in a simple and very robust manner, the interior of the construction in the extended position remaining well airtight and watertight and protected from the weather in all of its enlarged volume. Advantageously, this container must allow the fixing in advance of apparatus and heavy equipment on a large number of surfaces. The transition of the building element from the transport state with reduced volume to the state of commissioning with enlarged volume should preferably be rapid. Finally, the construction element must advantageously be very resistant both in the transport position, in order to be able to undergo significant stresses during transport, lifting or other handling, as in the extended position where the extended part must also to be in "hard". The deployed construction must allow thermal insolation and advantageously resist radiation, projectile fragments, etc. Frequent passage from the extended state to the recessed state should not pose any problem.

On résout le problème suivant l'invention par un élément de construction, tel que décrit au début, qui comprend en outre au moins une structure interne ouverte vers le bas, comprenant un panneau supérieur, un panneau avant, relié à ce dernier et situé en face d'un panneau articulé précité dans la position de fermeture de celui-ci, et au moins deux panneaux latéraux reliés au panneau supérieur et au panneau avant, ladite structure présentant en outre également une ouverture arrière à l'opposé dudit panneau avant, cette structure étant supportée par le conteneur de manière amovible suivant une direction, entre une position d'enfoncement, située à l'intérieur du conteneur, et une position d'extension, dans laquelle le panneau articulé situé en face du panneau avant forme, en position d'ouverture, au moins partiellement un plancher pour la structure interne.The problem according to the invention is solved by a construction element, as described at the beginning, which further comprises at least one internal structure open downwards, comprising a top panel, a front panel, connected to the latter and located in face of an aforementioned articulated panel in the closed position thereof, and at least two side panels connected to the upper panel and to the front panel, said structure also having a rear opening opposite to said front panel, this structure being supported by the container in a removable manner in a direction, between a sinking position, located inside the container, and an extension position, in which the articulated panel located in front of the front panel forms, in position opening, at least partially a floor for the internal structure.

Suivant une forme préférée de l'invention, en position d'ouverture, ce panneau articulé présente une surface coplanaire à la surface interne de la paroi de plancher.According to a preferred form of the invention, in the open position, this hinged panel has a coplanar surface with the internal surface of the floor wall.

Suivant une forme de réalisation de l'invention, l'élément de construction comprend des moyens de roulement permettant un déplacement de la ou des structures internes suivant leur direction. Ces moyens de roulement peuvent être des galets tournant librement autour d'axes horizontaux supportés par des panneaux latéraux, agencés parallèlement l'un à l'autre, de la structure interne amovible, ces galets étant disposés de manière à pouvoir rouler sur ladite paroi de plancher et ledit panneau articule en position d'ouverture. Les moyens de roulement peuvent aussi comprendre au moins deux pistes de roulement parallèles, prévues en alignement sur ladite paroi de plancher et ledit panneau articulé en position d'ouverture, des panneaux latéraux de la structure interne étant agencés de manière à pouvoir rouler sur ces pistes.According to one embodiment of the invention, the construction element comprises rolling means allowing a displacement of the internal structure (s) in their direction. These rolling means can be rollers freely rotating about horizontal axes supported by side panels, arranged parallel to each other, of the removable internal structure, these rollers being arranged so as to be able to roll on said wall of floor and said panel hinges in the open position. The rolling means may also comprise at least two parallel rolling tracks, provided in alignment with said floor wall and said articulated panel in the open position, side panels of the internal structure being arranged so as to be able to roll on these tracks. .

Suivant une forme avantageuse de réalisation de l'invention, l'élément de construction comprend des premiers moyens de guidage de la structure interne qui sont agencés à l'intérieur du conteneur et des deuxièmes moyens de guidage qui sont portés par le panneau articulé, ces premiers et deuxièmes moyens de guidage étant disposés l'un par rapport à l'autre de manière à empêcher, pendant un déplacement de la structure interne, une déviation latérale de celle-ci par rapport à ladite direction.According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the construction element comprises first means for guiding the internal structure which are arranged inside the container and second guide means which are carried by the articulated panel, these first and second guide means being arranged relative to one another so as to prevent, during a displacement of the internal structure, a lateral deviation of the latter with respect to said direction.

Suivant une forme perfectionnée de réalisation de l'invention, l'élément de construction comprend en outre des moyens d'immobilisation de la ou des structures internes amovibles à l'intérieur du conteneur lorsque le ou les panneaux articulés sont en position de fermeture.According to an improved embodiment of the invention, the construction element further comprises means for immobilizing the removable internal structure or structures inside the container when the articulated panel or panels are in the closed position.

Suivant une autre forme avantageuse de réalisation de l'invention, la ou les structures internes et/ou le conteneur présentent des moyens d'étanchéité qui isolent l'intérieur de l'extérieur en position d'extension des structures internes.According to another advantageous embodiment of the invention, the internal structure (s) and / or the container have sealing means which isolate the interior from the outside in the extended position of the internal structures.

Sur les différents dessins, les éléments identiques ou analogues sont désignés par les mêmes références.In the various drawings, identical or analogous elements are designated by the same references.

Sur la figure 1 est représentée une forme de réalisation d'élément de construction suivant l'invention, dans la position d'extension. L'élément de construction transportable désigné d'une manière générale par la référence 1 comprend un châssis 2 encadrant une paroi de plancher (non visible sur la figure 1), une paroi de plafond 3 et quatre parois latérales 4 à 7. Ces parois, à l'état fermé de l'élément de construction 1, sont disposées dans l'exemple illustré de façon à former un conteneur parallélépipédique. Le châssis 2 supporte des éléments de coin 8 qui permettent au conteneur de recevoir des forces extérieures de compression et de traction, par exemple pour l'accrochage de crochets de grues de levage, la fixation sur des véhicules de transport conçus pour les recevoir, et éventuellement leur empilage. Dans les exemples illustrés, on prévoit des éléments de coin standards répondant aux normes internationales de transport et de manutention ISO (par exemple ISO 1161), mais il est évident que des éléments de coin non standards peuvent aussi être prévus suivant l'invention (voir au sujet des éléments de coin par exemple L.A. HARLANDER, Container System Design Developments over two decades, Marine Technology, Vol. 19, n° 4, Oct. 1982, p. 364-376, ou encore par exemple les brevets US-A-2.963.310, 3.691.595, 4.049.149 et 4.212.251).In Figure 1 is shown an embodiment of a building element according to the invention, in the extended position. The transportable building element generally designated by the reference 1 comprises a frame 2 framing a floor wall (not visible in FIG. 1), a ceiling wall 3 and four side walls 4 to 7. These walls, in the closed state of the construction element 1, are arranged in the example illustrated so as to form a parallelepiped container. Chassis 2 supports corner elements 8 which allow the container to receive external forces of compression and traction, for example for the hooking of hooks of lifting cranes, the fixing on transport vehicles designed to receive them, and possibly their stacking . In the examples illustrated, provision is made for standard corner elements meeting the international transport and handling standards ISO (for example ISO 1161), but it is obvious that non-standard corner elements can also be provided according to the invention (see about corner elements for example LA HARLANDER, Container System Design Developments over two decades, Marine Technology, Vol. 19, n ° 4, Oct. 1982, p. 364-376, or even for example US-A patents 2,963,310, 3,691,595, 4,049,149 and 4,212,251).

Ainsi qu'il ressort de la figure 1, un panneau formé par la totalité de la paroi latérale 4 est articulé sur le châssis 1 de manière à pouvoir pivoter vers l'extérieur. Dans la position de fermeture ce panneau forme la paroi latérale 4 de l'élément de construction 1 en forme de conteneur. Dans la position d'ouverture, sa surface interne 9 est coplanaire à la surface interne de la paroi de plancher. Ce panneau est relié à deux des éléments de coin 10 du conteneur, qui pivotent donc avec lui. Ce panneau articulé est donc du type de celui décrit dans le brevet LU-A-85595 et son articulation ainsi que ses moyens d'entraînement sont donc connus et ne seront pas décrits plus en détail ici.As shown in Figure 1, a panel formed by the entire side wall 4 is articulated on the frame 1 so as to be able to pivot outwards. In the closed position, this panel forms the side wall 4 of the building element 1 in the form of a container. In the open position, its internal surface 9 is coplanar with the internal surface of the floor wall. This panel is connected to two of the corner elements 10 of the container, which therefore pivot with it. This articulated panel is therefore of the type described in patent LU-A-85595 and its articulation as well as its drive means are therefore known and will not be described in more detail here.

Il est évident que le ou les panneaux articulés de l'élément de construction suivant l'invention ne doivent pas nécessairement être conformes à ce dernier brevet, ainsi qu'il ressortira d'ailleurs des exemples de réalisation illustrés sur les autres figures. Le plancher du conteneur et la surface interne du panneau articulé peuvent avantageusement former une surface continue directement entre eux ou par l'intermédiaire d'un élément intercalaire couvrant le joint (v. à ce sujet LU-A-85595).It is obvious that the articulated panel or panels of the construction element according to the invention need not necessarily conform to this latter patent, as will also appear from the exemplary embodiments illustrated in the other figures. The container floor and the internal surface of the hinged panel can advantageously form a continuous surface directly between them or by means of an intermediate element covering the joint (see on this subject LU-A-85595).

Ainsi qu'il ressort de la figure 1, une structure interne, désignée d'une manière générale par la référence 11 a été poussée ou tirée hors du conteneur de façon à reposer sur le panneau articulé 4 en position d'ouverture.As can be seen from FIG. 1, an internal structure, generally designated by the reference 11, has been pushed or pulled out of the container so as to rest on the panel articulated 4 in the open position.

Cette structure interne 11 comprend un panneau supérieur 12, un panneau avant 13, qui est relié au panneau supérieur 12 et est disposé en face de la surface interne 9 du panneau articulé 4 lorsque celui-ci est en position de fermeture, et au moins deux panneaux latéraux 14 et 15 (dont seul le panneau 14 est visible sur la figure 1). Ces panneaux latéraux sont eux aussi reliés au panneau supérieur 12, et chacun d'eux est relié au panneau avant 13. Cette structure est ouverte vers le bas, c'est-à-dire qu'en position de renfoncement de la structure interne à l'intérieur du conteneur, la paroi de plancher du conteneur sert de plancher pour la structure interne 11, tandis que, en position d'extension, c'est le panneau articulé 4 qui joue ce rôle, en tout cas partiellement.This internal structure 11 comprises an upper panel 12, a front panel 13, which is connected to the upper panel 12 and is arranged opposite the internal surface 9 of the articulated panel 4 when the latter is in the closed position, and at least two side panels 14 and 15 (of which only the panel 14 is visible in FIG. 1). These side panels are also connected to the upper panel 12, and each of them is connected to the front panel 13. This structure is open downwards, that is to say in the recessed position of the internal structure at inside the container, the floor of the container serves as a floor for the internal structure 11, while, in the extended position, it is the articulated panel 4 which plays this role, in any case partially.

A l'opposé du panneau avant 13, la structure interne présente une ouverture arrière qui est de préférence complète entre les panneaux latéraux 14 et 15. Elle peut toutefois aussi n'être que partielle, avec une cloison non représentée dans l'espace non ouvert. On pourrait même à la limite envisager une ouverture arrière réduite à une baie de porte.Opposite the front panel 13, the internal structure has a rear opening which is preferably complete between the side panels 14 and 15. It can however also be only partial, with a partition not shown in the unopened space. . We could even consider a rear opening reduced to a door opening.

On peut aisément envisager que le panneau avant 13 et/ou les panneaux latéraux 14 et 15 soient agencés de manière totalement ou partiellement ouverts. Sur la figure 1 on a représenté une ouverture partielle 77, aisément obturable de manière connue, par un battant de porte.It can easily be envisaged that the front panel 13 and / or the side panels 14 and 15 are arranged totally or partially open. In Figure 1 there is shown a partial opening 77, easily closable in known manner, by a door leaf.

La structure interne 11 est supportée par le conteneur de manière amovible suivant une direction, représentée par la double flèche F, et dans les deux sens. Elle peut être déplacée entre une position d'enfoncement non représentée, située à l'intérieur du conteneur, et une position d'extension, dans laquelle le panneau articulé 4 en position d'ouverture forme au moins partiellement un plancher pour la structure interne. Lorsque l'ouverture arrière est complète, il est préférable que la structure interne 11 ne soit pas totalement extraite du conteneur et, dans ce cas, une partie de son plancher est simultanément formée par la paroi de plancher du conteneur.The internal structure 11 is supported by the container in a removable manner in a direction, represented by the double arrow F, and in both directions. It can be moved between a not shown insertion position, located inside the container, and an extension position, in which the hinged panel 4 in the open position at least partially forms a floor for the internal structure. When the rear opening is complete, it is preferable that the internal structure 11 is not completely extracted from the container and, in this case, part of its floor is simultaneously formed by the floor wall of the container.

L'élément de construction 1 illustré sur les figures 2 à 8 se différencie de celui qui vient d'être décrit par le fait qu'il présente un panneau articulé 17 qui, ici, ne forme pas la totalité de la paroi latérale 4 du conteneur. En effet, une partie 34 de celle-ci reste fixe dans le châssis 2. D'autre part, la structure interne 11 en position d'extension ne recouvre qu'une partie du panneau articulé 17. Le conteneur présente ici un deuxième panneau rabattable sous la forme de la paroi latérale 7. A l'intérieur du conteneur des subdivisions ont été prévues, par exemple un hall d'entrée 18, séparé de la chambre centrale 19 par une cloison 20 et comportant des armoires murales 20 et 21, ainsi qu'une baie 22, fermée par une porte non représentée, et donnant accès à une passerelle formée par la paroi latérale 7 en position déployée. De même, à l'opposé de ce hall d'entrée 18, une armoire ou un appareillage 23 est prévu contre la paroi latérale 5 du conteneur. De cette même manière on peut d'ailleurs prévoir que la hauteur de la structure interne amovible 11 soit largement inférieure à la hauteur libre de la chambre 19, ce qui permet le montage en place, à l'avance, par exemple d'un système d'éclairage.The construction element 1 illustrated in FIGS. 2 to 8 differs from that just described by the fact that it has an articulated panel 17 which, here, does not form the entire side wall 4 of the container . Indeed, a part 34 of it remains fixed in the chassis 2. On the other hand, the internal structure 11 in the extended position covers only part of the articulated panel 17. The container here has a second folding panel in the form of the side wall 7. Provisions have been made inside the container, for example an entrance hall 18, separated from the central chamber 19 by a partition 20 and comprising wall cabinets 20 and 21, as well that a bay 22, closed by a door not shown, and giving access to a walkway formed by the side wall 7 in the deployed position. Similarly, opposite this entrance hall 18, a cabinet or an apparatus 23 is provided against the side wall 5 of the container. In the same way, it can also be provided that the height of the removable internal structure 11 is much less than the free height of the chamber 19, which allows the installation in place, in advance, for example of a system lighting.

Dans l'exemple illustré sur les figures 2 à 8, l'élément de construction comprend des moyens de déplacement de la structure suivant la direction F, sous la forme de moyens de roulement. Ici, ces moyens de roulement sont des galets 24 (v. figure 3) tournant librement autour d'axes horizontaux 25 supportés par des étriers 26 fixés par-dessous les panneaux latéraux 14 et 15 parallèles de la structure interne 11. Pour pouvoir rouler sur la paroi de plancher 27 on prévoit par exemple deux cornières métalliques 28 parallèles dont une aile 29 est encastrée dans la paroi de plancher 27, à fleur de celle-ci, et dont l'autre 30 fait saillie verticalement vers le haut, le long de l'armoire 23. Pour pouvoir rouler sur la surface interne 9 du panneau articulé 17, on prévoit par exemple deux cornières métalliques 31 parallèles (v. figure 4) dont une aile 32 est encastrée dans le panneau articulé 13, à fleur de sa surface interne 9, et dont l'autre 33 fait saillie verticalement vers le haut, en position d'ouverture du panneau.In the example illustrated in FIGS. 2 to 8, the construction element comprises means for moving the structure in the direction F, in the form of rolling means. Here, these rolling means are rollers 24 (see FIG. 3) rotating freely around horizontal axes 25 supported by stirrups 26 fixed below the side panels 14 and 15 parallel to the internal structure 11. To be able to roll on the floor wall 27, for example, two parallel metal angles 28 are provided, one wing 29 of which is embedded in the floor wall 27, flush with the latter, and the other of which 30 projects vertically upwards, along the cabinet 23. In order to be able to roll on the internal surface 9 of the articulated panel 17, for example, two parallel metal angles 31 are provided (see FIG. 4), one wing 32 of which is embedded in the articulated panel 13, flush with its surface internal 9, and the other 33 of which projects vertically upwards, in the panel open position.

Ainsi qu'il ressort en particulier de la figure 2, l'aile encastrée 29 de chaque cornière 28 est en alignement avec l'aile encastrée 32 d'une cornière 31 lorsque le panneau articulé 17 est en position d'ouverture. Les ailes encastrées forment ainsi deux rails parallèles sur lesquels les galets 24 peuvent rouler.As can be seen in particular in FIG. 2, the embedded wing 29 of each angle iron 28 is in alignment with the embedded wing 32 of an angle iron 31 when the articulated panel 17 is in the open position. The embedded wings thus form two parallel rails on which the rollers 24 can roll.

Ainsi qu'il ressort en particulier des figures 3 et 4, les rails précités, formés des cornières 28 et des cornières 31, forment des moyens de guidage pour des galets supplémentaires 35 portés également par les panneaux latéraux 14 et 15 de la structure interne. Ces galets supplémentaires 35 tournent librement autour d'axes verticaux 36 supportés par des étriers 37 fixes par-dessous les panneaux latéraux 14 et 15. Ces galets coopèrent, à l'intérieur du conteneur, avec les ailes verticales 30 des cornières 28 et, sur le panneau articulé 17, avec les ailes verticales 33 des cornières 31. Les cornières empêchent, pendant le déplacement de la structure interne 11, une déviation latérale de celle-ci par rapport à la direction F.As is shown in particular in FIGS. 3 and 4, the aforementioned rails, formed from the angles 28 and the angles 31, form guide means for additional rollers 35 also carried by the side panels 14 and 15 of the internal structure. These additional rollers 35 rotate freely around vertical axes 36 supported by stirrups 37 fixed below the side panels 14 and 15. These rollers cooperate, inside the container, with the vertical wings 30 of the angles 28 and, on the articulated panel 17, with the vertical wings 33 of the angles 31. The angles prevent, during the displacement of the internal structure 11, a lateral deviation of the latter relative to the direction F.

Ainsi qu'il ressort des figures 2, 5 et 6, l'élément de construction 1 comprend en outre des moyens d'immobilisation de la structure interne amovible à l'intérieur du conteneur, lorsque le panneau articulé 17 est en position de fermeture. La position de renfoncement de la structure interne 11 est représentée en traits mixtes sur la figure 2.As shown in Figures 2, 5 and 6, the construction element 1 further comprises means for immobilizing the removable internal structure inside the container, when the hinged panel 17 is in the closed position. The recess position of the internal structure 11 is shown in phantom in FIG. 2.

Selon l'exemple illustré ici, en particulier à la figure 5, ces moyens d'immobilisation comprennent des éléments de butée 38 sous la forme de sections de cornières dont les deux extrémités des ailes 39 et 40, mutuellement perpendiculaires, sont fixées sur la face interne de la paroi latérale 6 du conteneur. Ces éléments de butée sont agencés en face des bords verticaux arrière des panneaux 14 et 15 de la structure interne 11, de façon que la surface externe des ailes 40 soit agencée dans un plan oblique par rapport à la direction F. Ici la surface externe des ailes 40 forme un plan incliné de 45° par rapport à cette direction. Cette surface porte un bloc parallélépipédique 41 en matière élastique, dont la surface située à l'opposé de la cornière 38 est disposée également dans un plan incliné de 45° par rapport à la direction F.According to the example illustrated here, in particular in FIG. 5, these immobilization means comprise abutment elements 38 in the form of sections of angles of which the two ends of the wings 39 and 40, mutually perpendicular, are fixed on the face internal side wall 6 of the container. These abutment elements are arranged opposite the rear vertical edges of the panels 14 and 15 of the internal structure 11, so that the external surface of the wings 40 is arranged in an oblique plane with respect to the direction F. Here the external surface of the wings 40 form an inclined plane of 45 ° relative to this direction. This surface carries a parallelepipedal block 41 of elastic material, the surface of which opposite the angle 38 is also arranged. in a plane inclined by 45 ° with respect to the direction F.

Des éléments de contre-butée 42, sous la forme de sections de cornières, sont prévus sur chacun des bords verticaux arrière des panneaux 14 et 15. Les deux extrémités des ailes 43 et 44 des cornières sont fixées à ces bords de façon que la surface externe des ailes 43 soit agencée dans un plan oblique, ici de 45°, par rapport à la direction F. Lorsque la structure interne 11 est en position de renfoncement, la surface externe de chaque aile 43 vient en contact avec la surface externe d'un bloc 41.Counter-stop elements 42, in the form of sections of angles, are provided on each of the rear vertical edges of the panels 14 and 15. The two ends of the wings 43 and 44 of the angles are fixed to these edges so that the surface outer of the wings 43 is arranged in an oblique plane, here 45 °, relative to the direction F. When the internal structure 11 is in the recessed position, the external surface of each wing 43 comes into contact with the external surface of a block 41.

Dans cette disposition, lorsque la structure interne 11 est quelque peu pressée vers la paroi arrière 6, les moyens d'immobilisation qui viennent d'être décrits empêchent tout déplacement de la structure interne 11 par rapport au conteneur, non seulement vers l'arrière, c'est-à-dire vers la paroi 6, mais aussi vers le haut. Il est bien entendu qu'on pourrait prévoir d'autres formes de moyens d'immobilisation, et notamment des moyens séparés pour immobiliser la structure interne vis-a-vis d'un déplacement vers l'arrière et d'un déplacement vers le haut.In this arrangement, when the internal structure 11 is somewhat pressed towards the rear wall 6, the immobilization means which have just been described prevent any movement of the internal structure 11 relative to the container, not only towards the rear, that is to say towards the wall 6, but also upwards. It is understood that other forms of immobilization means could be provided, and in particular separate means for immobilizing the internal structure with respect to a rearward displacement and an upward displacement .

Dans l'exemple de réalisation illustré, les ailes verticales 30 des cornières 28 et les galets 35 servent de moyens d'immobilisation de la structure interne 11 pour empêcher un déplacement latéral de celle-ci par rapport à ladite direction F, en position de fermeture du panneau articulé 17.In the illustrated embodiment, the vertical wings 30 of the angles 28 and the rollers 35 serve as means for immobilizing the internal structure 11 to prevent lateral movement of the latter relative to said direction F, in the closed position. hinged panel 17.

Enfin, les moyens d'immobilisation susdits comprennent aussi, dans l'exemple illustré en particulier sur la figure 6, des éléments de blocage 45 qui, en position de fermeture du panneau articulé 17, sont agencés entre la surface interne 9 du panneau articulé 17 et le panneau avant 13 de la structure interne 11. Ces éléments de blocage 45 sont prévus pour empêcher un déplacement vers l'avant de la strucutre interne 11, en position de fermeture du panneau articulé 17.Finally, the abovementioned immobilization means also comprise, in the example illustrated in particular in FIG. 6, blocking elements 45 which, in the closed position of the articulated panel 17, are arranged between the internal surface 9 of the articulated panel 17 and the front panel 13 of the internal structure 11. These locking elements 45 are provided to prevent a forward movement of the internal structure 11, in the closed position of the articulated panel 17.

Dans l'exemple illustré les éléments de blocage 45 sont constitués de plusieurs sections de cornière 46 dont une des ailes 47 est supportée sur le panneau articulé de manière à pouvoir pivoter autour d'un axe 49 parallèle à la direction F. L'autre aile 48 s'étend perpendiculairement à la surface interne 9 du panneau articulé 17, lorsque l'aile 47 est appliquée contre le panneau articulé 17, dans sa position de blocage. Un tampon en matière élastique est supporté par la section de cornière 46, par l'intermédiaire d'un bloc métallique 51 soudé entre les deux ailes 48 et 49. En position de fermeture du panneau articulé 17, le tampon 50 de chaque section de cornière 46 vient en appui contre le panneau avant 13, éventuellement comme illustré par l'intermédiaire d'une plaquette métallique 52 supportée par le panneau avant 13. Les éléments de butée et de contre-butée 38, 41 et 43 décrits précédemment et les éléments de blocage 45 décrits ci-dessus sont agencés de façon que la fermeture du panneau articulé permette un pressage de la structure interne entre ces éléments, notamment grâce aux parties en matière élastique de ceux-ci.In the example illustrated, the locking elements 45 consist of several sections of angle iron 46, one of the wings 47 of which is supported on the articulated panel so as to be able to pivot around an axis 49 parallel to the direction F. The other wing 48 extends perpendicularly to the internal surface 9 of the articulated panel 17, when the wing 47 is applied against the articulated panel 17, in its locked position. A buffer of elastic material is supported by the angle section 46, by means of a metal block 51 welded between the two wings 48 and 49. In the closed position of the articulated panel 17, the buffer 50 of each angle section 46 bears against the front panel 13, optionally as illustrated by means of a metal plate 52 supported by the front panel 13. The abutment and counter-abutment elements 38, 41 and 43 described above and the elements of blocking 45 described above are arranged so that the closure of the hinged panel allows pressing of the internal structure between these elements, in particular thanks to the elastic material parts thereof.

A l'aide des moyens d'immobilisation qui viennent d'être décrits ci-dessus, la structure interne 11 est arrimée fermement à l'intérieur du conteneur, pendant le transport. La structure interne 11 ne subit aucun travail pendant la manutention et le transport de l'élément de construction.Using the immobilization means which have just been described above, the internal structure 11 is firmly stowed inside the container, during transport. The internal structure 11 does not undergo any work during the handling and transport of the construction element.

Ainsi qu'il est représenté sur la figure 6 en traits interrompus et sur la figure 2 en traits pleins, lorsque le panneau articulé 17 est en position d'ouverture, les éléments de blocage 45 sont amenés dans une position escamotée qui libère le passage pour la structure interne 11 et qui se trouve donc à l'extérieur de celle-ci dans sa position d'extension.As shown in Figure 6 in broken lines and in Figure 2 in solid lines, when the hinged panel 17 is in the open position, the locking elements 45 are brought into a retracted position which frees the passage for the internal structure 11 and which is therefore outside of it in its extended position.

L'élément de construction suivant l'invention doit pouvoir servir de construction habitable et chauffable. On prévoit donc que des moyens d'étanchéité isolent l'intérieur de l'extérieur, en position d'extension de la structure interne 11. Divers moyens connus en soi peuvent être utilisés à cet effet.The building element according to the invention must be able to serve as habitable and heatable construction. It is therefore expected that sealing means isolate the interior from the outside, in the extended position of the internal structure 11. Various means known per se can be used for this purpose.

Sur la figure 7 est représenté un moyen d'étanchéité de ce genre. Il s'agit d'un tube en matière élastique 53 pourvu de lèvres d'étanchéité 54 et supporté par un rebord 75 faisant saillie vers le bas de la paroi de plafond 3. Le panneau supérieur 12 de la structure interne 11 supporte le long de son bord arrière une cornière 55 dont une aile 56 en saillie vers le haut vient s'appliquer contre les lèvres d'étanchéité 54 en position d'extension de la structure interne 11. On peut évidemment prévoir un agencement correspondant le long des bords arrière des panneaux latéraux 14 et 15 de la structure interne.In Figure 7 is shown a sealing means of this kind. It is a tube made of elastic material 53 provided with sealing lips 54 and supported by a flange 75 projecting downwards from the ceiling wall 3. The upper panel 12 of the internal structure 11 supports along its rear edge an angle 55 including a wing 56 projecting upwards is applied against the sealing lips 54 in the extended position of the internal structure 11. It is obviously possible to provide a corresponding arrangement along the rear edges of the side panels 14 and 15 of the internal structure.

Ainsi qu'il ressort en particulier des figures 3 à 5, les galets supportés par les panneaux 14 et 15 sont séparés du volume interne de la structure 11 par une cloison 57, en forme de L en section transversale, qui longe le bord inférieur de chacun de ces panneaux, ainsi que par une plaque d'extrémité 58. Les espaces entre les cloisons 57 et les plaques d'extrémité 58 d'une part, et la paroi de plancher 27 ou la surface interne 9 du panneau articulé 17, ainsi que l'aile verticale 30 des cornières 28, d'autre part, sont rendus étanches à l'aide d'un élément d'étanchéité 59. Ce dernier est supporté sur les cloisons 57 ou les plaques d'extrémité 58 par l'intermédiaire de plaques de support 60 de manière à frotter de manière souple contre la surface située en vis-à-vis pendant le déplacement de la structure interne. Ainsi qu'il ressort de la figure 8, un agencement semblable peut être prévu le long du panneau avant 13 de la structure interne 11.As is apparent in particular from FIGS. 3 to 5, the rollers supported by the panels 14 and 15 are separated from the internal volume of the structure 11 by a partition 57, L-shaped in cross section, which runs along the lower edge of each of these panels, as well as by an end plate 58. The spaces between the partitions 57 and the end plates 58 on the one hand, and the floor wall 27 or the internal surface 9 of the articulated panel 17, as well that the vertical wing 30 of the angles 28, on the other hand, are sealed using a sealing element 59. The latter is supported on the partitions 57 or the end plates 58 by means of of support plates 60 so as to rub in a flexible manner against the surface situated opposite while the internal structure is moving. As can be seen from FIG. 8, a similar arrangement can be provided along the front panel 13 of the internal structure 11.

On pourrait bien entendu prévoir d'autres types d'éléments d'étanchéité à la place de ceux décrits ici ou simultanément à eux. On pourrait envisager par exemple des éléments amovibles qui laisseraient libre la structure interne, pendant son déplacement, et qui pourraient être bloqués en position d'étanchéité lorsque la structure interne serait en position d'extension.One could of course provide other types of sealing elements in place of those described here or simultaneously with them. One could consider, for example, removable elements which would leave the internal structure free, during its movement, and which could be locked in the sealing position when the internal structure is in the extended position.

Ainsi qu'il ressort de la figure 8, on peut prévoir suivant l'invention des moyens de verrouillage de la structure interne en position d'extension sur le panneau articulé 17. Le panneau avant 13 de la structure interne supporte une ou plusieurs plaques d'appui 61 contre lesquelles viennent buter des sections de profilé métallique 62, fixées sur la paroi interne 9 du panneau articulé 17. Une aile 63 de chacune de ces sections de profilé 62 est agencée de manière a coopérer avec la surface externe d'une plaque d'appui 61, en position d'extension de la structure interne 11. De cette manière, les sections de profilé font partie des moyens qui limitent la course vers l'extérieur de la structure interne 11.As can be seen from FIG. 8, it is possible according to the invention to provide means for locking the internal structure in the extended position on the articulated panel 17. The front panel 13 of the internal structure supports one or more plates of 'support 61 against which sections of metal profile abut 62, fixed on the internal wall 9 of the articulated panel 17. A wing 63 of each of these profile sections 62 is arranged so as to cooperate with the external surface of a plate support 61, in the extended position of the internal structure 11. In this way, the sections profile are part of the means which limit the outward travel of the internal structure 11.

Un arbre 64 peut être prévu, en saillie vers l'avant, sur chaque plaque d'appui 61. Cet arbre est supporté de manière à pouvoir pivoter autour de son axe et son extrémité libre présente un elément de verrou 65 sous la forme d'une saillie perpendiculaire à l'axe de pivotement de l'arbre 64. Les sections de profilé 62 présentent dans leur aile 63 une échancrure latérale ouverte d'un côté à travers laquelle peut passer l'arbre 64 et l'élément de verrou 65 en position horizontale. Lorsque l'aile 63 est en contact avec la plaque d'appui 61, l'élément de verrou 65 peut être amené à pivoter vers le bas dans la position représentée sur la figure 8 et il bloque ainsi tout mouvement vers l'arrière de la structure interne 11.A shaft 64 can be provided, projecting forward, on each support plate 61. This shaft is supported so as to be able to pivot around its axis and its free end has a latch element 65 in the form of a projection perpendicular to the pivot axis of the shaft 64. The profile sections 62 have in their wing 63 a lateral notch open on one side through which the shaft 64 and the latch element 65 can pass. horizontal position. When the wing 63 is in contact with the support plate 61, the latch element 65 can be made to pivot downwards in the position shown in FIG. 8 and it thus blocks any movement towards the rear of the internal structure 11.

Il est évident que d'autres moyens de verrouillage peuvent être prévus, notamment avec fermeture automatique, et qu'ils peuvent être prévus non seulement sur le panneau articulé, mais aussi sur toute autre partie fixe du conteneur.It is obvious that other locking means can be provided, in particular with automatic closing, and that they can be provided not only on the articulated panel, but also on any other fixed part of the container.

Les figures 9a et 9b représentent de manière schématique une autre forme de réalisation de l'invention. Sur les figures on a supprimé la partie du conteneur, supérieure au plancher, pour faciliter la compréhension.Figures 9a and 9b schematically show another embodiment of the invention. In the figures, the part of the container, above the floor, has been removed to facilitate understanding.

L'élément de construction illustré diffère de celui qui vient d'être décrit par le fait que les moyens de roulement ici prévus sont deux pistes de rouleaux 66 parallèles à la direction F et prévues dans la paroi de plancher 27 de manière qu'ils affleurent ou fassent légèrement saillie par rapport à la surface interne de celle-ci. Dans leur alignement, on a prévu également deux pistes de rouleaux 67 prévues dans le panneau articulé 17 de manière qu'ils affleurent ou fassent légèrement saillie par rapport à la surface 9 du panneau. Les bords inférieurs des panneaux latéraux 14 et 15 de la structure interne 11 sont agencés de manière à pouvoir glisser sur les pistes de rouleaux 66 et 67.The construction element illustrated differs from that which has just been described in that the rolling means provided here are two tracks of rollers 66 parallel to direction F and provided in the floor wall 27 so that they are flush or protrude slightly from the internal surface thereof. In their alignment, two roller tracks 67 are also provided, provided in the articulated panel 17 so that they are flush with or slightly protrude from the surface 9 of the panel. The lower edges of the side panels 14 and 15 of the internal structure 11 are arranged so as to be able to slide on the tracks of rollers 66 and 67.

Dans cet exemple de réalisation, on pourrait envisager que la surface interne de la paroi de plancher et celle du panneau articulé ne soient pas exactement coplanaires. Il suffit que les pistes de rouleaux et en particulier les sommets de ceux-ci permettent une circulation de la structure interne sur eux.In this exemplary embodiment, it could be envisaged that the internal surface of the floor wall and that of the hinged panel are not exactly coplanar. It is enough that the tracks of rollers and in particular the tops of these allow circulation of the internal structure on them.

Dans l'exemple de réalisation suivant les figures 2 à 8, on prévoit des panneaux de structure interne en un matériau résistant, mais assez léger, par exemple à texture en nid d'abeilles, de façon à permettre un éventuel déplacement à la main de la structure interne. On peut envisager par exemple de la pousser de l'intérieur après pénétration dans le conteneur par une porte prévue a cet effet. Il faut toutefois que ces panneaux soient autoportants et avantageusement qu'ils soient capables de supporter des équipements montés à l'avance sur leur face interne.In the embodiment according to FIGS. 2 to 8, internal structure panels are provided in a resistant, but fairly light material, for example with a honeycomb texture, so as to allow possible movement by hand of internal structure. One can consider, for example, pushing it from the inside after entering the container through a door provided for this purpose. However, these panels must be self-supporting and advantageously they must be able to support equipment mounted in advance on their internal face.

On peut aussi prévoir des moyens d'entraînement de la structure interne qui soient d'ordre mécanique, hydraulique, électrique, etc..., avec intervention ou non d'un moteur. Un exemple d'un tel système est illustré sur les figures 9a à 9b. Des moyens d'entraînement 69 et 70, sous la forme de câbles guidés par des systèmes de poulies, entraînent la structure interne le long de la direction F, dans les deux sens, selon la commande donnée ici par un treuil 71.One can also provide means for driving the internal structure which are mechanical, hydraulic, electrical, etc., with or without the intervention of an engine. An example of such a system is illustrated in FIGS. 9a to 9b. Drive means 69 and 70, in the form of cables guided by pulley systems, drive the internal structure along the direction F, in both directions, according to the command given here by a winch 71.

Ainsi qu'il ressort de la figure 1, le châssis 2 d'un conteneur suivant l'invention peut être supporté d'une manière connue sur une plate-forme 16 d'un véhicule de transport, qui est pourvu d'éléments de fixation 80 connus en soi sur lesquels les éléments de coin 8 inférieurs du châssis 2 peuvent être accrochés (voir par exemple GB-1603613).As can be seen from FIG. 1, the chassis 2 of a container according to the invention can be supported in a known manner on a platform 16 of a transport vehicle, which is provided with fastening elements 80 known per se on which the lower corner elements 8 of the chassis 2 can be hung (see for example GB-1603613).

Si l'on envisage l'élément de construction 1 transportable pour former par exemple une unité d'hôpital mobile, la mise en service de celle-ci peut être extrêmement rapide. Après arrêt du véhicule, la paroi latérale 4 ou respectivement le panneau articulé 17 est déployé vers l'extérieur d'une manière connue, puis la structure interne est déplacée dans sa position d'extension et bloquée dans cette position. Les appareillages sont déjà montés en place sur les 4 panneaux de la structure interne ainsi que sur la paroi arrière et le plancher du conteneur.If we consider the transportable building element 1 to form, for example, a mobile hospital unit, the commissioning thereof can be extremely rapid. After stopping the vehicle, the side wall 4 or respectively the articulated panel 17 is deployed outwards in a known manner, then the internal structure is moved to its extended position and locked in this position. The devices are already mounted in place on the 4 panels of the internal structure as well as on the rear wall and the floor of the container.

La stabilisation d'un tel conteneur est immédiate car le véhicule assure un contre-poids suffisant au poids de la structure interne supportée en porte-à-faux par le panneau latéral. On peut d'ailleurs prévoir en supplément l'utilisation de stabilisateurs par exemple hydrauliques, connus pour stabiliser les châssis de remorque ou de camion.The stabilization of such a container is immediate because the vehicle provides sufficient counterweight to the weight of the structure internal supported cantilevered by the side panel. We can also provide in addition the use of stabilizers, for example hydraulic, known for stabilizing the trailer or truck chassis.

On peut prévoir un temps de mise en service d'une unité d'hôpital à l'état déployé de l'ordre de 10 à 15 minutes. La mise en service d'un hôpital complet comprenant plusieurs unités de ce genre, assemblées et communiquant l'une avec l'autre, demande approximativement une heure ou moins. En comparaison des 6 heures généralement demandées pour le montage d'un hôpital sous tente, il s'agit d'une très grande amélioration.We can expect a time to commission a hospital unit in the deployed state of the order of 10 to 15 minutes. It takes approximately an hour or less to commission a complete hospital with several such units assembled and communicating with each other. Compared to the 6 hours generally required for setting up a hospital under a tent, this is a very great improvement.

De plus, par rapport aux constructions obtenues par le déployement d'une tente, la construction suivant l'invention offre le grand avantage d'une construction en dur sur laquelle des appareillages peuvent déjà être montés à l'avance, et qui offre un meilleur abris vis-a-vis de phénomènes extérieurs, tels que des éclats de projectiles, des radiations, la pluie, la grêle, etc..., ainsi qu'une isolation thermique très favorable.In addition, compared to the constructions obtained by the deployment of a tent, the construction according to the invention offers the great advantage of a hard construction on which equipment can already be mounted in advance, and which offers better shelters from external phenomena, such as projectile splinters, radiation, rain, hail, etc., as well as very favorable thermal insulation.

Il doit être entendu que la présente invention n'est en aucune façon limitée aux formes de réalisation qui viennent d'être décrites et que bien des modifications peuvent y être apportées sans sortir du cadre du présent brevet.It should be understood that the present invention is in no way limited to the embodiments which have just been described and that many modifications can be made thereto without departing from the scope of this patent.

On peut par exemple envisager plusieurs structures internes déplaçables. Dans l'exemple de réalisation illustré sur la figure 2, on pourrait prévoir suivant l'invention une structure amovible supplémentaire 76 qui, en position d'extension, se trouverait dans la position représentée en traits interrompus sur la paroi 7 en position déployée. Cette structure 76 effectue un déplacement suivant une direction F'.One can for example consider several internal movable structures. In the embodiment illustrated in Figure 2, one could provide according to the invention an additional removable structure 76 which, in the extended position, would be in the position shown in broken lines on the wall 7 in the deployed position. This structure 76 moves in a direction F '.

On pourrait aussi prévoir des éléments de construction tels qu'illustrés sur les figures 10 à 12. Sur les figures 11 et 12 on a supprimé la partie du conteneur supérieure au plancher pour faciliter la compréhension.One could also provide construction elements as illustrated in FIGS. 10 to 12. In FIGS. 11 and 12, the part of the container above the floor has been removed to facilitate understanding.

Selon l'exemple de réalisation illustré sur la figure 10, l'élément de construction transportable 1 ne comprend pas de châssis de support ou d'encadrement. Les parois de plancher, de plafond et latérales sont autoportantes. L'élément de construction comprend ici deux panneaux articulés formés de deux parois latérales 4 et 6 opposées, qui sont du type décrit dans le LU-A-85595.According to the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 10, the transportable building element 1 does not include any support or frame. The floor, ceiling and side walls are self-supporting. The construction element here comprises two articulated panels formed by two opposite side walls 4 and 6, which are of the type described in LU-A-85595.

Une structure interne amovible 11, correspondant a celle décrite pour l'exemple de réalisation illustré sur la figure 1, est agencée de manière à reposer, dans la position d'extension, sur la paroi 4 amenée en position d'ouverture. Une seconde structure interne amovible 72 est agencée de manière à reposer, dans la position d'extension, sur la paroi 6 amenée en position d'ouverture.A removable internal structure 11, corresponding to that described for the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 1, is arranged so as to rest, in the extended position, on the wall 4 brought into the open position. A second removable internal structure 72 is arranged so as to rest, in the extended position, on the wall 6 brought into the open position.

Ainsi qu'il ressort de la figure 11, la structure interne 72 est de plus petite dimension que la structure interne 11 de façon à pouvoir coulisser à l'intérieur de celle-ci, lorsque la structure 72 est renfoncée dans l'élément de construction. On pourrait d'ailleurs imaginer, au lieu de telles structures 11 et 72, des structures internes 73 et 74 ne coulissant pas l'une dans l'autre dans leur position de renfoncement, ainsi qu'il est représenté schématiquement sur la figure 12.As can be seen from FIG. 11, the internal structure 72 is smaller than the internal structure 11 so that it can slide inside of it, when the structure 72 is embedded in the construction element . One could also imagine, instead of such structures 11 and 72, internal structures 73 and 74 not sliding one into the other in their recessed position, as is shown diagrammatically in FIG. 12.

La forme générale du conteneur ne doit pas obligatoirement être parallélépipédique. Il existe par exemple des conteneurs à plafond surhaussé pour le transport dans des avions cargos adaptés. L'invention reste parfaitement applicable dans ce cas. De même l'aspect global de la structure interne ne doit pas non plus nécessairement être parallélépipédique, pour les mêmes raisons.The general shape of the container does not have to be rectangular. There are, for example, containers with raised ceilings for transport in suitable cargo planes. The invention remains perfectly applicable in this case. Likewise, the overall aspect of the internal structure does not necessarily have to be parallelepiped, for the same reasons.
