Description

Portable house

TECHNICAL SECTOR

The present application refers to a portable house, easily assembled at any point with few minutes of operation. It is applicable in the provisional building industry.

STATE OF THE ART

Multiple types of temporary buildings are known, to provide a service for a limited time (sometimes very long) and then move the temporary building to another location.

A first version are the so-called "food trucks", corresponding to trailers with an integrated kitchen. Booths of a few square meters are also known that can be hoisted for being extremely light. However, this solution is very limited in space. If it is too small, it is not useful. If it is too big, it cannot be transported well and takes up a lot of storage space.

There are also temporary buildings made up of a metallic structure covered by a cloth. This type has very little resistance and is not prepared to last more than a few hours installed.

The applicant is not aware of any device similar to the invention.

BRIEF EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

The invention consists of a portable house, easily foldable for transport and stored and foldable for placement. Its different variants solve the problems outlined.

The shed port t part e ase or sue o, with a tec o super or that is liftable thanks to a coupling. The perimeter is covered by a series of walls that can occupy all or part of it. The walls can be divided into:

- Front walls, which can be disconnected from the ceiling and folded down on the base to remove them.

- Side walls, each with at least three axes of rotation: A first axis of rotation near the base, a second axis of rotation near the ceiling and an axis of intermediate rotation, at a midpoint of the side wall. This intermediate axis of rotation has a direction of rotation opposite to that of the other two axes of rotation.

The house also includes a series of latches for locking the walls in an upright position. That is, they ensure that the front walls do not fall off and the side walls do not fold.

Preferably, it comprises a door in a front wall. It may comprise windows on other walls, for example, on another front wall.

To reduce weight, it is preferred that the roof be a hollow structure. In addition, it can be used to store corner attachable slats between walls to seal those grooves. These slats can be stored at other points.

Likewise, the walls can have gaskets on their lateral edges that collaborate for sealing.

If the house will require an electrical or data connection, the roof may have an angled, folding or telescopic passage for the introduction of electrical or data wiring.

Other variants are seen in the rest of the memory.

DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES

For a better understanding, the following g ments are included.

Figure 1: General perspective view of an embodiment example, with the vertical side walls and the front walls folded down.

Figure 2: Schematic representation of two initial stages of the booth assembly procedure according to the previous example, in which the side walls are unfolding.

MODES OF CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

An embodiment of the invention is briefly described below, as an illustrative and non-limiting example thereof.

The house of embodiment 1 comprises a base (1), a roof (2), two side walls (3) and two front walls (4). It is not relevant if the front walls (4) are larger, equal or smaller than the side walls (3). Likewise, the house can have a single front wall (4). If the base (1) and the roof (2) have a non-rectangular plan, the number of front walls (4) may be greater than that of the side walls (3).

One of the walls (3,4) has a door (5), generally one of the front walls (4). The house can have windows (not shown), with sliding closings, hinged to the side or up. For example, you may have a counter with a hatch that becomes an awning.

The roof (2) comprises a hollow structure, with water evacuation systems. For example, it may have a triangular section with gutters on the sides. The ceiling (2) can comprise a bend (22) for the introduction of electrical or data wiring. This passage (22) will be folding or telescopic to reduce its size and protect it from accidental blows when the house is folded.

The front walls (4) are hinged on the base (1), for which they can be disconnected from the ceiling (2). It may be necessary that one of the walls It is necessary to have a ream in order to ensure that its lowered position is above the lowered position of the other front wall (4).

As can be seen in the figures, the side walls (3) have three axes of rotation (31) to allow folding: near the base (1), near the ceiling (2) and at a midpoint. Each axis of rotation (31) can be formed by a series of aligned hinges or by a single long hinge. The intermediate axis of rotation (31) allows rotation in the opposite direction to the other two. The lower axis of rotation (31) will be above the folded position of the front walls (4) to be able to be placed on them.

Depending on the dimension, the base (1) can have guides (7) for the forks of one or more forklift trucks. The roof (2) will have a coupling (21) for a crane or a cable attached to the truck in its highest position. The coupling (21), therefore, will allow the ceiling (2) to be raised while the walls (3,4) are placed in position, either during folding or unfolding of the house.

The house, in folded position, will be placed in the desired position for mounting. If possible or necessary, the base (1) will be nailed to the ground to secure it. A crane or forklift will raise the roof (2) to the height of use. The folding side walls (3) will unfold with the movement of the ceiling (2) and can be secured with latches (8). Preferably the latches (8) will be mounted on springs that push them into the locked position. This reduces the risk of accidental release of the latches (8). Once the side walls (3) are interlocked, the front walls (4) will be raised, also with interlocking latches (8). Once the walls (3,4) are properly fixed, the ceiling (2) can be released from the crane or truck.

In order to properly make the movements, it is convenient to leave a certain space in the corners between the walls (3,4). This space or slot can be covered in various ways. The first is defining strips of rubber or hair on the edges of both walls (3,4) to seal the space. A second method is by arranging slats (9) for closing the grooves. The slats (9) can be stored on the inside of the roof (2), among other places.

The folding of the house for storage will follow the reverse steps. It will start by fixing the roof (2) to the crane, truck or similar. The folding of the front walls (4) continues, after releasing the latches (8), and the folding of the side walls (3), also after releasing the latches (8). Finally, the controlled descent of the ceiling (2) to the base (1) and the fixing of both elements to each other to prevent accidental movements are carried out.
