Description of a preferred embodiment

The habitability module consists of four boxes, two lower (1) and two upper (2). The lower are subject to the vehicle through a platform, formed by six slats (3) that fit together, and some straps which are manually tensioned and tensioned, fixing the platform to the four anchors for securing the trunk of the vehicle and facilitate assembly and disassembly task.

The platform consists of six slats (3), which fit together, and is attached to the trunk of the vehicle through the four anchor points, available in most market vehicles. This platform is joined by elements clamping, the lower boxes (1), being fixed to the floor of the trunk of the vehicle. The upper boxes (2) are placed on the lower, so that each upper box is attached to the lower one, on which it supports, by means of two traction elements (4), which go from center to center of each side face of the boxes, leaving free joining the front and back of the boxes, to allow each top box slide independently over its box inferior, not only because of its superior face, but also because of the front face and back face. Thus, each upper box moves on three planes of its lower box always keeping in contact with a face of the lower case, moves horizontally on the upper plane of the lower case and it moves vertically on the front plane and / or the back plane of the lower case.

This freedom of movement allows you to configure, varying the position of the upper boxes with respect to lower, its three modes of use: "transport mode", "utility mode" and "bed mode".

To facilitate sliding between the boxes, there are slats (5), which protrude from the upper boxes (2) and slits (6), in the lower boxes (1), on the that these fit and skate acting as guides of the movement. These guides are located only on the faces of the boxes that have contact between them.

The tensile elements (4) are calculated to support the necessary stretch length and the weight of the upper boxes (2), granting great rigidity to the system in its three modes of use

The boards (7) are attached to the boxes upper (2), using squares (8) and tongue and groove projections, either to the front faces of these to form a table, or in the rear faces to form the surface of the bed. Too there is the possibility of mounting the boards outside the vehicle to form an independent table.

Through these elements and mechanisms that allow the necessary movements to give versatility necessary to the whole and be able to use it in its three different modes, always manually without the use of tools, facilitating the use of module, always remaining on solid supports contributing to the system great stability in its three configuration modes, in order to get to grant series vehicles vehicle qualities made for camping, turning this activity into something affordable for most users of utility vehicles.

In view of the figures you can see also how, starting from its "transport mode", the module can be configured in its three modes of use, mentioned above.

Through the system of guides and elements of traction (4) is achieved by sliding the upper boxes (2) over the lower (1), allowing the "utility mode", and place the boxes on the same plane, allowing the "bed mode".

- "Transport mode" (Figs. 1 to 3)

The upper boxes (2) are fully supported in the lower ones (1) and fixed by means of straps preventing the movements caused by the march of the vehicle. All the System components are collected in the boxes except for several elements that go in the space between the boxes and the rear seats.

- "Utility mode" (Figs. 4 to 5)

With the tailgate open, the boxes upper (2) are displaced longitudinally on the lower (1), being mostly outside the passenger compartment of the trunk. Using squares (8) and legs (9) the weight of the upper boxes (2) is perfectly distributed, supporting the homework efforts necessary for the functions for which you have the system has been conceived, such as cutting food for cooking, couple the boards (7) to form a sturdy kitchen table or dining table, scrubbing, taking a shower, etc.

The module also has legs (9) that They are used to mount the table on the floor, outside the vehicle. Using the covers of the boxes you can form two chairs whose Height is ideal for the outdoor table mentioned above.

Seen from the front (Fig. 4) the upper case left contains all the necessary equipment for cooking and Eat for two users. Being possible to increase the number of diners adding external equipment such as cutlery and crockery additional.

The upper right box contains a sink with mirror that also acts as a sink that attached to the pump of water gives us everything necessary for personal daily hygiene and the cleaning of utensils and cooking foods.

The lower left box contains containers Hermetic designed to transport food safely before possible spills.

The lower right box houses a reserve of water, dirty water tank, shower curtain / darkening cabin mode and bedding.

- Bed mode (Figs. 7 to 9)

Already with the tailgate closed and the four boxes positioned on the same plane, the rear seats of the vehicle leaving the flat floor and are carried the front seats to their most advanced position towards the dashboard. Coupling the same boards that are used to form the table, the bed surface is formed, giving it all the stability needed using the legs, which are also used to form the outer table in addition to some straps that go to the front headrests and others that go to the grip handles of the rear passengers, necessary depending on the type of vehicle, conferring great stability to the whole.

These simple mechanisms give the whole a great versatility and ease of use since all the elements They adjust manually without tools.
