Definitions

  • the invention relates to a transportable residential space, particularly equipped as a sanitary unit.
  • Residential spaces including service spaces, that can be transported, set up and used as units, are generally known in various appearances, such as office unit, sanitary unit (toilet unit, shower unit), kitchen unit, sleeping unit, etcetera.
  • the dimensions of said units vary strongly.
  • they have different ways to be handled, such as by using a hook, a tilting mechanism or corner fittings (known from ISO standard containers).
  • WO 02/17764 A1 discloses a transportable unit for forming a straight parallelepiped-shaped residential space, provided with a bottom and a covering, and upright walls extending in between them, which walls can be converted between a retracted transport position and an extended- operational position, in which the unit has a height which is larger than the height in the retracted transport position, wherein the unit is stackable and equipped as a sanitary unit having a series of toilet bowls, wherein the upright walls form partitions/inner walls for shielding off sub-spaces for the toilet bowls, wherein the bottom is part of a lower section of the unit and the covering is part of an upper section of the unit.
  • WO 02/103138 A1 and US 2005/0284035 A1 disclose other transportable units forming part of the state of the art.
  • a transportable unit for forming a straight parallelepiped-shaped residential space, provided with a bottom and a covering, and walls extending in between them, which walls can be converted between a -particularly retracted- transport position and a -particularly extended- operational position, in which the unit has a larger height, wherein the unit is equipped as a sanitary unit having a series of toilet bowls, urinals and/or showers.
  • a site of use such as an event site, and yet provide an at least substantially fully fledged sanitary facility at that location.
  • the bottom may offer room to a common drain pipe for the toilet bowls, urinals and/or showers.
  • the drain pipe is connected to a vacuum drainage system.
  • the walls can be converted telescopically.
  • the walls may comprise an upper wall attached to the covering and a lower wall attached to the bottom, wherein the upper wall and the lower wall preferably are of approximately similar height.
  • the upper wall and the lower wall can be slid vertically into each other.
  • the upper wall and the lower wall can be slid along each other in vertical direction, wherein the bottom preferably is part of a lower section of the unit and the covering is part of an upper section of the unit which can be moved in vertical direction with respect to each other.
  • the walls may form one or more sidewalls of the unit.
  • the walls may form partitions/inner walls for shielding off sub-spaces for the toilet bowls and/or showers.
  • One or more sidewalls can be provided with doors for each sub-space.
  • the sidewalls are part of a separation of a sub-space to the outside.
  • sub-spaces have been formed by pairs of boxes, each having three upright walls, on both sides of the sub-space and opposite the entrance to the sub-space, as rear wall, which walls preferably are formed as one unity, such as of polyester, wherein both boxes are open on the entry side and on the sides facing each other and wherein the upper box that is part of the upper section of the unit, is oriented vertically reversed with respect to the lower box that is part of the lower section.
  • Both boxes of a pair have such dimensions that, when converting, their upright walls can be slid vertically along each other.
  • an inner wall forms a partition wall between two series of urinals and/or toilet bowls, the individual branch lines of which (bowls or urinals) to the drain pipe are at least partially incorporated in the partition wall.
  • the partition wall may have a lower partition wall and an upper partition wall, wherein the lower partition wall is divided into a first part and a second part that each support the toilet bowls or urinals of a respective series, and between them define an accommodation space for the upper partition wall.
  • the upper partition wall can be entirely free of fluid pipes, each lower partition wall part provides support to the bowls or urinals, respectively, of both series and offers room to the corresponding individual branch line for each bowl or urinal and together with the other lower partition wall part offers room to the upper partition wall in the transport position.
  • the toilet bowls, urinals and/or shower heads preferably are arranged in the section of the unit comprising the bottom, so that the pipe system can remain in its place during the conversion activities.
  • the sanitary residential unit in the transport position preferably has half a standard height of a standard freight container. Because in the lowered, particularly retracted position, the sanitary residential unit has half a standard height, two of such sanitary units, in lowered, particularly retracted position, placed on top of one another, will as regards height correspond with an uncollapsible standard container (ISO) of standard height. In that way within a same transport volume two - retracted - sanitary residential units can be moved. Two retracted sanitary residential units take up as much room as one regular standard container. Due to half the height of the sanitary residential spaces during transportation the sanitary inventory can furthermore at least substantially remain in the residential space and there is room for transporting other goods that are required at the destination, such as gangways, barriers.
  • ISO uncollapsible standard container
  • the sanitary residential unit In the operational position the sanitary residential unit can have a full standard height of a standard container, so that in a multiple transport with an odd number of units a standard height can always be provided if one unit is not retracted.
  • the standard height will particularly be the height of a 20 ft. TEU container, a 40 ft. TEU container or a 45 ft. High Cube container that are used a lot nowadays. They are 8.6 ft, 8.6 ft and 9.6 ft respectively. These are standard containers under the ISO standard.
  • Adaptation to standard transportation facilities for freight containers is increased if the length and width of the sanitary unit equal the length and width, respectively, of a 20 ft. TEU container, a 40 ft. TEU container or a 45 ft. High Cube container, that means 20'x8', 40'x8' and 45'x 8', respectively. If the length and width of the sanitary unit equal the length and width, respectively, of a 20 ft. TEU container and the height in the transport position equals half a height of a 45 ft. High Cube container, an advantageous adaptation to transportation means, particularly trucks, is obtained that are often adapted to the 20 ft. of the TEU, and in the operational position a larger overlap can be realised between parts of the unit that slide into/along each other during the conversion.
  • the handling of the unit according to the invention is further improved if it is provided with ISO corner fittings on the corners, preferably all corners.
  • the upper sidewall and the lower sidewall of at least one sidewall comprise an upper door part and a lower door part, respectively, for forming an entrance door to the residential space in the operational position, wherein the upper door part and the lower door part can hinge about a vertical hinge centre line and are attached to the covering and bottom by an upper hinge and a lower hinge, respectively, particularly to a frame section for them, particularly a horizontal frame section, wherein the hinge centre lines of the upper hinge and the lower hinge are in line with each other.
  • the upper door part and the lower door part can be provided with connecting parts for mutual connection in the operational position, so that a door is obtained that can be operated as one unity.
  • the upper door part and the lower door part can be vertically slid into each other.
  • the upper door part and the lower door part can be slid along each other in vertical direction.
  • the doors are detachable and in the transport position of the unit they can be stored in the unit, for after conversion of the unit into the operational position being hung at the wanted locations.
  • the unit can be provided with an operable conversion device for converting the walls between the transport position and the operational position and vice versa. Extending the unit can be effected in various ways; manually, pneumatically, locomotory or hydraulically.
  • the conversion device may comprise manually driven cables, chains and the like, and optionally a pulley system for them.
  • the cylinders are housed in the covering or the bottom of the unit. Particularly the bottom is suitable for this purpose.
  • the cylinders may for instance drive cables that run through the bottom or covering to the corner columns and transfer lifting forces in the columns for extending the unit.
  • the unit can be converted from the transport position into the operational position by means of a fork-lift truck, of which the fork engages the upper section, particularly the covering.
  • the invention provides a transportable (residential) unit for forming a straight parallelepiped-shaped residential space, provided with a bottom and a covering, and sidewalls extending in between them, which sidewalls can be converted, particularly telescopically extendable/retractable, between a -particularly retracted- transport position, in which the residential unit has half a standard height of a standard freight container, and a -particularly extended- operational position, in which the unit has a larger height. Because in the lowered, particularly retracted position, the residential unit has half a standard height, two of such units, in lowered, particularly retracted position, placed on top of one another, will as regards height correspond with a fixed standard container (ISO) of standard height.
  • ISO fixed standard container
  • Two retracted residential units take up as much room as one regular standard container. Due to half the height of the residential spaces during transportation the inventory can furthermore at least substantially remain in the residential space and there is room for transporting other goods that are required at the destination, such as gangways, barriers. Furniture and/or pipes can at least substantially be fully housed in the section of the unit comprising the bottom.
  • the unit In the operational position the unit preferably has a full standard height, so that in multiple transport with an odd number of units a standard height can always be provided if one unit is not retracted.
  • the unit can be equipped in various ways, depending on the intended use, such a sleeping unit, sanitary (short stay) unit, kitchen.
  • the unit is equipped as a sanitary unit having a series of toilet bowls, urinals and/or showers.
  • the invention provides a transportable unit for forming a straight parallelepiped-shaped residential space, provided with a bottom and a covering, and walls extending in between them, which walls can be converted between a -particularly retracted- transport position and a -particularly in vertical direction extended- operational position, wherein the walls each comprise an upper wall attached to the covering and a lower wall attached to the bottom, wherein the upper wall and the lower wall of at least one sidewall comprise an upper door part and a lower door part, respectively, for forming an entrance door to the residential space in the operational position, wherein the upper door part and the lower door part can hinge about a vertical hinge centre line and are attached to the covering and the bottom by means of an upper hinge and a lower hinge, respectively, wherein the hinge centre lines of the upper hinge and the lower hinge are in line with each other.
  • the upper door part and the lower door part can in that case be provided with connecting parts for mutual connection in the operational position.
  • the upper door part and the lower door part can be vertically slid into each other.
  • the upper door part and the lower door part can be slid along each other in vertical direction.
  • the unit In order to prevent that during manipulation during transportation the unit changes from the transport position into the operational position the unit can be provided with means for locking the unit in the transport position.
  • the unit can be equipped in various ways, depending on the intended use, such as a sleeping unit, sanitary (short stay) unit, kitchen.

  • the girders 6a,b and 7a,b and columns 8a,b meet each other in the corners, where standard (ISO) corner fittings 5 are situated.
  • the columns 8a,b are locked with respect to each other, such that they are capable of absorbing vertical weight forces and also in case of lifting forces exerted on the corner fittings 5 on the covering 2b they do not move relative to each other in order to facilitate loading onto a truck, train, ship, etc.
  • the container-shaped unit 1 is shown in the retracted transport position in which it has a length L of 20 ft., a width B of 8 ft. and a height H1 of 4 ft. and 9 inches.
  • the unit 1 has the length and width of a 20' TEU container indeed, but half the standard height of 0.5 Hs of a - in this case different - standard container, in this case a High Cube container (9 ft., 6 inches).
  • the joint height also see figures 2A and 2B , equals the standard height Hs of a High Cube container, namely 9 ft. and 6 inches.
  • the length 20 ft. is advantageous for transportation by a truck adapted to TEU container transport, with or without ditto trailer, also see figure 7 .
  • the upper section 1b is extended upwards and in that position the columns 8a,b are locked with respect to each other, wherein the longitudinal girders 6a,b, cross girders 7a,b and columns 8a,b form a frame.
