DESCRIPTION

Container building and procedure for the construction of such a container building

The present invention relates to a container building according to the preamble of claim 1 with a first container and a second container, which are installed parallel to each other for the formation of a common space cell along a longitudinal direction and they are connected to each other, in which the first container has a first open longitudinal side and the second container has a second open longitudinal side, which are aligned parallel to each other and point to each other, in which the two containers are arranged spaced apart. between each other in such a way that there is an intermediate space between them and in which for the formation of a continuous surface of the inner bottom of the common space cell in the intermediate space there is arranged a bottom element, which extends in a longitudinal direction, as Union piece.

A container building of this type is known from DE 195 01 423 A1. Another container building of this type is shown in US 4,255,912 A.

As container buildings are designated buildings, which are erected in the type of construction of container space cells. Depending on the configuration, for this purpose they are suitable for people to live, live or work in them temporarily or in a lasting way. Most of the times such container buildings are made up of individual steel containers. Depending on the number of containers used, smaller space units can be manufactured in this way as well as larger buildings, joined together in general. The size of these buildings can be extended from individual containers to multi-flat buildings. A space defined by one or more containers (within the container) is often also referred to as a space cell.

Frequently, standardized containers called ISO-containers are used for such container buildings. These ISO containers originally come from merchandise traffic, where they are used as freight containers or vessel containers. A usual container is the so-called 20-foot container, which has the outer dimensions of 6,058 m x 2,438 m x 2,591 m. These 2-foot containers are used in container buildings that are frequently slightly modified, and also very modified. They are especially characterized by their mobility (favorable load capacity) as well as their flexible type of placement in the interior space of the container. Therefore, container buildings can be built relatively easily and quickly from these containers.

The described container buildings are often also used as a temporary building for applications in the field or in places, where a building that can be quickly assembled and disassembled is advantageous by virtue of the acute need for space. In the same way, such container buildings are used as construction containers, but also as educational containers or as accommodation for refugees or as student residences.

Other cases of application are military and humanitarian applications in the field, in which container buildings are used as mobile field kitchens, mobile patient care facilities (mobile operating rooms) or also as mobile sanitary facilities. It is understood that this list can be extended optionally. The last mentioned examples of use of container buildings for military and humanitarian applications in the field are grouped in this case under the concept of container buildings for use as a mobile supply facility in the field. Typical cases of application of these mobile supply facilities in the field are military exercises or missions of large groups of troops, but also humanitarian applications or within the framework of disaster relief in a region of earthquakes. Although the present invention relates in its most preferred application form to the last mentioned application cases, it is not limited thereto.

The following types of container buildings are already known from the state of the art.

Document CN-201284514 Y shows a prefabricated container buildings with one or more containers. At the central point, this publication refers to a drainage system provided on the roof of a container, with which a regulated water outlet must be achieved.

In addition, it is known from JP 11350759 A container, which is used as a mobile sanitary installation. To this end, sanitary facilities are provided inside the container, in particular a bathroom with shower as well as a WC unit. By virtue of the standard properties of the container, it can be transported in a vehicle, so that the bathroom-WC container can be used mobile in different places.

The similar prefabricated space cell in partial sections, the so-called elementary space cell, which is specially configured as a sanitary wet cell, is known from DE 299 10 671 U1. The wet cell published theref is characterized, among other things, because the parts of the side walls preferably formed of several layers are configured at least in their core resistant to moisture or

Well to the water.

In containers or container buildings known from the prior art mentioned above, a container forms the mayona of the times a separate space cell, which is separated in the space of the space cells defined by the other containers. In the case where a plurality of containers are used, they are joined most of the time only outside between st

Another example of separate constituted containers of this type, which are joined together outside to form a block of containers, is known from EP 1 453 724 B1. Containers published there form a housing area, in particular for mantima applications on board ships. In this case, the housing area is composed of several container cabins arranged superimposed and / or adjacent between their container cabins are again composed of a block of cabins with walls, ceilings and floors for each cabin and, in particular, of such that each block of cabins has a common connection for the supply and / or evacuation duct. The individual container cabins are arranged for each purpose in each case parallel to each other, so that the longitudinal side walls of the individual containers are closely adjacent to each other, to save space.

In addition, there are a number of container building suppliers that can be configured flexibly. No of these suppliers is, for example, the Firm Sconox Mobilbau GmbH, D-65549 Limburg / Lahn, on whose page hhtp: //
www.sconox.com offers the most different types of container buildings. Also the container buildings shown there are sometimes constructed of several individual containers connected to each other. Through the extraction of side walls of some containers, common large space cells connected to each other can also be made from several containers partially juxtaposed. In this way, for example, a large space cell can be manufactured from three containers connected to each other. Also in this case, the containers are juxtaposed the majority of the times flush with each other. For the formation of a flat interior surface of the bottom within a space cell composed of several containers, the internal bottoms are subsequently superimposed or subsequently mounted on the bottoms of the containers.

A drawback of the container buildings mentioned above in an exemplary manner is often their poor use of space. Especially for the use of interest as a mobile supply installation in the field for applications in the military and / or humanitarian field, container buildings mentioned above are often a drawback. Container buildings, which are used in field applications, for example as field kitchens or medical operation salts, must meet very high requirements. Not only the capacity of mobile cargo, but also an optimal use of space and a simple possibility of equipping the container housing with interior installation are of immense importance. Container buildings of this type are frequently used, in fact, in extreme conditions, among others in extreme conditions of free field temperature. Therefore, they not only have to be very robust, but they can also be used conveniently from the technical and logistical point of view.

Given this background, a task of the present invention is to prepare a container building, which is especially suitable for use in military and / or humanitarian field applications and which is configured from the mechanical point of view as well as logically in an optimal way For such applications. An essential aspect should be in this case an optimal use of the space of the container building. In addition, a task of the present invention is to present a procedure for the construction of such a container building.

This task is solved in accordance with an aspect of the present invention by a container building of the type mentioned at the beginning because a drain channel is provided in the bottom element which extends essentially parallel to the longitudinal direction.

An essential point of the present invention is that the containers, which jointly form the container building, are not directly or flush adjacent to each other, but are spaced apart from each other. Through this distancing an intermediate space results between the two containers. In this intermediate space a bottom element is arranged, so that the measurements of the bottom element are adapted to the intermediate space in such a way that a uniform, non-stepped transition between the space cell with a continuous interior surface of the bottom results.

A common space cell as defined above means a common space inside the container building, which is not separated by walls or windows. Through the connection of the two containers between sf and the open longitudinal sides provided in each side of each container, which are directed towards each other, a large space inside the container building (a space cell) common). Through the distancing of the two containers from each other as well as through the connection of the two containers on the bottom element that extends in the longitudinal direction, the space inside the container building can be optimally utilized. Under the background element

configured as a union piece, the containers do not need, in effect, any expensive floor structure, as is the case, in the case of container buildings in the state of the art.

The bottom element located in the intermediate space guarantees, in effect, a flat interior floor surface of the resulting container building. The omission of an expensive soil structure provides, on the one hand, an increased height within the container building. On the other hand, the interior space of the space cell is increased through the containers positioned at a distance from each other. The surface content of the interior surface of the floor is increased, in effect, in the product of the inner longitudinal side of the container and the width of the intermediate space between the two containers or the width of the floor element. Another advantage is the simplified production of a container building of this type. Since an expensive floor structure is no longer necessary, to realize a flat interior floor surface inside the container building, this usual production stage can be suppressed. This saves production time as well as production costs.

As already mentioned above, the two containers are constructed parallel to each other, such that the two open longitudinal sides of the containers point towards each other. Each of the containers has at least one open longitudinal side for this purpose. It is understood that the containers may also have more than one open side. Each container preferably has a rectangular base surface. As "longitudinal side" is understood in this case the longest of the sides of the floor of the container. These longitudinal sides are configured, therefore, preferably longer than the transverse sides of the container. An "open longitudinal side" means both open longitudinal sides as well as longitudinal sides that can be opened. For the assembly of the container building according to the invention, it is possible, therefore, to use containers that are produced with an open longitudinal side, that is to say that a side wall is missing, as well as containers, in which it is possible open at least one longitudinal side wall, for example by means of doors. In the assembled state of container building, the latter can also be designated, therefore, as open side walls. The concept of "longitudinal lateral side can be replaced by the concept of" open longitudinal lateral wall ".

According to the invention, a drain channel is provided in the bottom element which extends essentially parallel to the longitudinal direction.

Preferably, this drainage channel is configured as a noble steel channel, which is integrated into the floor element. In the same way it is preferred that the drain channel can be removed together outside the bottom element. The drainage channel can therefore be removed outside the bottom element, so that it can be cleaned outside the container building. The integration of the drainage channel into the bottom element is especially derived from the basic idea of the inventors of separating the outer envelope from the container building accordingly from the interior equipment. A drainage channel made in this way has proved to be especially advantageous in the use of container buildings as a container kitchen. The wastewater that is necessarily produced in the field kitchen or in the container kitchen can be selectively evacuated out through the drain channel arranged in the center in the space cell over the entire length of the container. The drainage channel flows, in effect, preferably laterally out of the container housing.

Extra water outlets, with which waste water can be conducted from inside the space cell outwards, can be suppressed in this way, water outlets as well as food debris can be conducted directly or indirectly on tubes lying inside the space cell to the drain channel lying in the center.

According to a configuration of the present invention, two steel containers are preferably used for the container building. The use of 20-foot ISO containers has proved particularly advantageous, however, it is understood that other types of containers can also be used for the present purpose.

In a preferred configuration, the interior space and the bottom element have a width in the range of 10-100 cm transversely to the longitudinal direction, preferably in the range of 40-60 cm.

When a 20-foot ISO container is thought to have a longitudinal extension in the range of 5.7-6.0 m inside and an extension of the width in the range of 2.3-2.5 m, then in the In the case of a common space cell formed by two containers, the interior space is increased by 5-10%, for example, by means of a 40 cm wide bottom element. Although this does not seem to be an overly essential increase in the first place, however, such an increase implies considerable advantages in practice.

In the case of an exemplary use of the container building in accordance with the invention as a field kitchen, an interior space between the containers in the range of 40-60 cm has been revealed as especially useful, since the space gain is already Comparatively small, it is very advantageous for the freedom of movement of the kitchen and auxiliary staff. Also the additional height compared to usual containers, which

It results through the omission of an expensively installed inner bottom, it has been revealed as especially advantageous in practice.

From the point of view of the design, the most different width of the intermediate space or of the floor element are conceivable. For stability reasons, the intermediate space between the two containers according to the present invention is preferably, however, less than 1 m. Much more important than stability, which can be guaranteed in principle also with larger intermediate spaces, is the fact that also the side walls and roof walls of the container building must be sealed in the mentioned intermediate space. Since the container building according to the invention should, in effect, also be used for use in the field in extreme temperature conditions (for example at -30 ° C or less), it is advantageous that the side walls and of the roof are sealed in the intermediate space. An intermediate space that is too wide makes this type of tightness difficult. For the rest, it should still be noted that the container building according to the invention can also be made with two containers, without abandoning the framework of the present invention.

According to another configuration, the drainage channel is covered with a cover grid, whose upper side ends flush with the interior surface of the space cell floor.

Through the closure flush with the interior floor surface, therefore, irregularities in the interior floor of the space cell do not result. It is evident that for the practical use or of a country kitchen, it is important a floor surface as smooth as possible, to be able to move perhaps a fully equipped food cart without tripping edges through the kitchen. The use of a cover grid to cover the drainage channel allows direct accessibility of the drainage channel from above. The exit of water to the channel can be carried out, for example, with the help of an outlet car, that is to say, of a displaceable drainage channel, which approximates, if necessary, the kitchen appliance to empty or a sink to empty. This exit car only has to be emptied over the drainage channel, to drive the waste water out.

According to another configuration, the drainage channel leads from the container building outwardly and can be heated through heating means outside the container building.

Such heating is especially necessary when the container building according to the invention is used in extreme temperature conditions, for example at -40 ° C. In this case, in effect, it must be ensured that the residual water flowing out of the container building does not freeze directly. Such heating means can be carried out, for example, through hot tubenas, which are adjacent to the drainage channel or extend parallel to it. It is understood that other heating means, for example, electric heating means, can be used for this. In the same way, you can also use the air outlet discharged from inside the containers to heat the water outlet.

According to another configuration, both the first and the second container have a support rail that extends parallel to the longitudinal direction, on which the bottom element rests.

The background element can be used during the formation or the construction of the container building, therefore, in a simple way in the area of the bottom of the intermediate space. This can be done either manually or with the help of a crane device. During the formation of the container building and also for the purpose of extracting the back element in reverse also in a simple way.

According to another configuration, mooring means can be provided for this purpose in the first and / or second container for the removable mooring of the floor element.

These mooring means must especially prevent a slippage or unforeseen displacement of the bottom element within the intermediate space. The mooring means serve, therefore, as mechanical fixation. The mooring means can be made through mechanical gearing means, which are arranged on the floor of the containers and fit into corresponding grooves in the floor element. These can be, for example, hooks or bolts, which fit into corresponding eyelets arranged in the bottom element. The removable connection made through the mooring means once again guarantees a simple and rapid disassembly of the container building.

According to another configuration, the two containers have, respectively, at least one door element for closing the open longitudinal sides, so that the door elements are deployed laterally in the assembled state as a container building and extend essentially parallel to the longitudinal direction, so that the intermediate space between the unfolded door elements of the first and second containers is prolonged in the longitudinal direction.

Both hinged and telescopic compressible door elements are conceivable. For the formation of the common space cell, the door elements, as already described, are preferably opened in the assembled state of the container building, so that the side walls

open (absent) described above, which are directed towards each other. Such door elements have the advantage that the containers that can be loaded individually for transport of the container building can be closed in each case to prevent the interior installation provided in the containers from falling during transport.

According to a configuration of the present invention, for the formation of continuous lateral walls of the space cell, which extend transversely to the longitudinal direction and transversely to the inner surface, some insulating elements of the wall are arranged between the two containers in The intermediate space.

At the lateral ends of the intermediate space, the container building is also anchored in the same way (on the transverse sides). Additionally, the two deployed door elements can be covered in each case with awnings. This last measure essentially serves as weather protection for the doors. The insulation on the side walls and especially the coverage of the door elements with the awning are especially important because the container building according to the invention is frequently used in application regions with very low temperatures. In this case, joint freezing of container doors should be avoided. In the same way, the interior of the containers should be isolated as best as possible to configure the work and / or life within the resulting space cell as pleasantly as possible.

As already mentioned above, the container building is preferably used as a mobile supply installation in the field, which is equipped with mobile installation elements, the arrangement of which can be modified flexibly within the space cell.

In the case of the aforementioned application, in which the container building according to the invention is used as a mobile field kitchen, the kitchen appliances are not frequently installed, but are only deposited after the preparation of the service availability Therefore, it is conceivable that the kitchen appliances or by themselves, that is, without auxiliary means, can be moved by hand, or that a small carriage is used for this purpose. Especially in combination with the drainage channel presented above, which extends in the longitudinal direction, it has been revealed that such a configuration is generally advantageous. In fact, for cleaning the field kitchen, all the kitchen appliances can then be moved to one half of the space, for example to one of the containers. The other part of the space cell can then be cleaned very easily and on a large surface, for example with the help of a high pressure jet. Since the drainage channel is integrated directly into the interior floor of the container building, the water used for cleaning can be easily evacuated out. In this way a pumping or aspiration of the cleaning water is not necessary.

A robust and easy-to-clean field supply facility meets all the high requirements that are required for military and humanitarian application purposes.

According to another preferred configuration of the present invention, for the formation of a continuous inner cover surface of the common space cell, a roof element that extends in the longitudinal direction is arranged as a joint piece, which is fixed by means of weatherstrips in corresponding weatherstrip rails, which are provided in the first and second containers in the roof area.

This roof element preferably has an inflatable flexible tube. In this way, the container building is also sealed upwards. As a roof element, therefore, preferably a flexible sheet tube is used, which is inserted over two weatherstrips in corresponding grooves in the two containers. Therefore, the installation or uninstallation of the roof element can be done very easily and quickly. Through the realization of the roof element as an inflatable sheet flexible tube, the container building can be sealed upwards by pumping the sheet flexible tube. Through the gas present in the flexible tube of sheets (for example, air) an additional thermal insulation is achieved.

Alternatively to an inflatable roof element, however, a rigid roof element may also be provided. For example, insulation panels can be used especially for this purpose. In this way it turns out, so to speak, a fixed or stable roof. Also in this variant, weatherstrips are preferably used for fixing, which can be introduced into corresponding weatherstrip rails in the containers. However, other types of fixing are also conceivable here.

In addition, the container building according to the invention according to another configuration has a water tank, which is arranged on the first and / or the second container.

This water tank can be arranged either on the roof of one of the containers or on the roof of the other container. Obviously it is also conceivable to arrange the water tank so that it extends over the roof of the two containers, that is, over the intermediate space. Water tanks include, for example, 1/3 containers (one-third containers), in which one or more water tanks can be arranged. Water tanks may contain, on the one hand, fresh water, which can be used

by virtue of the arrangement above on the container building (on the roof of the container building) already with pressure inside the space cell. On the other hand, a dirty water tank can also be positioned on the roof of the container building. This dirty water tank can be connected, for example, to the drainage channel described above above the container building. Both variants of the water tank and its arrangement are especially advantageous because, especially in thin regions, all water pipes and water tanks must be heated. This makes the ducts very expensive. Therefore, short driving paths are advantageous, such as from inside the space cell on the roof of the container building.

Finally, it should be mentioned that the technical task mentioned above in accordance with the present invention is also solved by means of a procedure for the construction of a container building, see claim 14. Therefore, the present invention also relates to a procedure with the following stages of the procedure:

- prepare a first and a second container;

- opening a first longitudinal side wall of the first container as well as a second longitudinal side wall of the second container;

- arranging the two containers relatively between each other so that they form a common space cell, in which the second open longitudinal side wall is aligned along a longitudinal direction essentially parallel to the first open longitudinal side wall and points towards the first longitudinal side wall open and in which the two containers are arranged at a distance from each other, such that there is an intermediate space between them that extends in the longitudinal direction, and

- arranging a bottom element that extends in the longitudinal direction 38 in the intermediate space as a connecting piece for the formation of a continuous interior bottom surface (40) of the common space cell,

This procedure is characterized in that a drain channel is provided in the bottom element which extends essentially parallel to the longitudinal direction.

According to a configuration of this procedure, before the arrangement of the two containers, a first and a second adjustment plate are arranged on a subsoil parallel to each other, in which the adjustment plates (7) respectively have a first fitting means and a second fitting means, which define between themselves a distance of the intermediate space to be made between the containers, and in which the containers are arranged on these adjustment plates, such that the first fitting means of both Adjustment plates fit, respectively, in first housings in the first container and the second fitting means (75) fit, respectively, in second housings in the second container.

The mentioned intervention means can be configured, for example, as vertical pivots, which are provided on the upper side of the adjustment plates. For the formation of the container building, therefore, the two adjustment plates are preferably deposited on the substrate first. These adjustment plates are intended to adjust the rear position of the containers already in the previous field. The distance of the two intervention means of each predetermined adjustment plate and the distance of the intermediate space to be made between the containers. Both adjustment plates are preferably identical for this purpose.

Since the position of the containers is adjusted in this way already previously, the containers should be placed during formation only still on the adjustment plates. In this way a removal or displacement is suppressed for the correct alignment of the two containers relative to each other. This is very advantageous especially because of the immense part of such containers. The formation of the container building can be accelerated in this way significantly.

The vertical pivots provided on the adjustment plates (designated, in general, as gearing means) are preferably adapted to the connection holes that have the typical 20-foot containers for fixing on container ships- The majority of times These junction holes are arranged in the corners of the containers. During the formation the two containers are placed, therefore, with the side walls open, which point towards each other on the pivots. Then the containers can be aligned, for example on height adjustable pivots between sf. The containers are then arranged directly at the correct distance and parallel to each other. The floor element can then be inserted, as described above, in the intermediate space. Also the upper sides of the two containers can be joined together additionally, for example, with the help of claws.

It is understood that the method according to the invention may have the same or similar configurations as the container building according to the invention and as described in the claims.

Figures 1 and 2 show different views of a first embodiment of the container building according to the invention. In them, the container building is designated in its entirety with the reference number 10. The container building 10 has two containers, a first container 12 and a second container 14. In both containers 12, 14 these are preferably containers of steel with an essentially rectangular cross section. The containers 12, 14 can have, for example, the dimensions of a 20-foot ISO container. Compared to the regular 20-foot ISO containers, the containers 12, 14 used for the container building 10 according to the invention are preferably slightly modified, as shown below. It is understood that instead of 20-foot ISO containers, 40-foot ISO containers can also be used, but other steel containers with optional dimensions can also be used.

Preferably, the two containers 12, 14 have the same dimensions. The containers 12, 14 have, respectively, two longitudinal sides 16a, b or 18a, b which extend parallel to each other. A longitudinal side 16a or 18a of both containers 12, 14 is preferably configured as longitudinal side 16a or 18a open. The longitudinal sides 16a, 18a are open, however, only in the assembled state of the container building. In another case, these are closed with the help of door elements 24a, b or 26a, b.

Transverse or orthogonally to the longitudinal sides 16a, b or 18a, b, each of the two containers

12, 14 presents, respectively, two transverse side walls 20a, b or 22a, b. Each container 12, 14 is bounded up, respectively, by a cover wall 28 or 30, which extends orthogonally to the longitudinal side walls 16 or 18 as well as orthogonally to the transverse side walls 20 or 22 of the container 23 or 14 respectively. Parallel to the cover wall 28 or 30 as well as orthogonally to the longitudinal side walls 16a, b or 18a, or the transverse side walls 20a, 2b or 22a, b, the two containers 12, 14 are delimited, respectively, by a bottom wall 32 or 34.

As can be deduced from Figures 1 to 3, the two containers 12, 14 are aligned parallel to each other. The longitudinal sides 16a, bo 18a, b of both containers 12, 14 extend parallel to a longitudinal direction 36. The first Open longitudinal side 16a of the first container 12 and the second open longitudinal side 18a of the second container 14 are in this case directed towards each other. The transverse side 20a of the first container 12 is aligned with the transverse side 22a of the second container 14. In the same way, also the transverse sides 20b and 22b are aligned with each other. An essential point of the container building 10 according to the invention is that the two containers 12, 14 are not flush adjacent to each other, but have a distance d between them (see especially Figure 3). In this way, an intermediate space 38 appears between the two longitudinal sides 16a, 1 6b open. This intermediate space 38 extends essentially along or parallel to the longitudinal direction 36. By virtue of the parallel arrangement of both containers 12, 14 , the intermediate space 38 has along the longitudinal direction 36 preferably a constant width d (see especially Figure 3). The width d is preferably in the range of 40-60 cm.

Through the longitudinal sides 16a, 18a directed towards each other, a common space cell results in the interior space 39 of the container building 10. The two containers 12, 14 therefore form, in another way, a common interior space 39. For the formation of a continuous surface of the inner bottom 40 of the common space cell 39, in the intermediate space 38 an element is arranged bottom 42 extending in the longitudinal direction 36 as a connecting piece (see especially Figure 2). The bottom element is arranged in the bottom area of the intermediate space 38 and thus connects the two bottom walls 32, 34 of the containers 12, 14 to each other. This results in a flat interior bottom surface 40 of the housing of container 10.

The distance of the two containers 12, 14 from each other contributes, on the one hand, to an effective increase of the interior space 39 of the container housing 10. On the other hand, due to the bottom element 42 provided in the area of the intermediate space 38 an expensive structure of the inner bottom of the container building 10 is not necessary. Normally, in effect, the inner bottoms of space cells, which are composed of several containers, are subsequently introduced. In this case, the internal funds originally provided for by the two containers are covered through a common continuous interior fund. This essentially serves to compensate for irregularities in the interfaces between the containers. By virtue of the bottom element 42, which ends at the level with both intermediate bottoms 32, 34 of the containers, however, such an extra provided interior bottom structure can be suppressed. This provides additional headroom. On the other hand, the container housing 10 can be mounted essentially faster, since no extra inner bottom should be used subsequently. This also saves production costs.

In the first and / or in the second container 12, 14 there may be provided along the open longitudinal sides 16a, 16b, in addition, mooring means 44 (see especially Figure 3), with the aid of which the background element 42 in position. These tie-up means 44 can be realized, for example, by means of bolts, which project on the open longitudinal sides 16a, 18a and fit in corresponding waves on the lower side of the bottom element 42. In this way, effectively avoiding Slipping of the bottom element 42 into the intermediate space 38.

In figures 6 and 7 the arrangement and support of the floor element 42 is shown in detail. These figures show, respectively, detailed views of the floor area of the intermediate space 38 between the two containers 12,1 4. As follows thereafter, both the first container 12 and also the second container 14 have, respectively, a support rail 46 and 48 extending parallel to the longitudinal direction 36. On these support rails 46, 48 the element of rest can rest bottom 42, During the assembly of the container building 10, only the bottom element 42 should be placed, therefore, on these support rails 46 and 48. In the event that mooring means 44 are provided, as already mentioned above, these can be arranged in the same way in the area of the support rails 46 and 48. The bottom element 42 can be removed in this way without a tool. This is especially advantageous when the bottom element 42 must be cleaned. Indeed, it can be quickly removed for cleaning purposes outside the container building 10, for example with the help of a high pressure cleaner. Background element 42 has, as shown, preferably a T-shaped cross section. However, it is understood that other geometric shapes are also possible, without abandoning the framework of the present invention.

Figures 6 and 7 show yet another detail, which is especially advantageous in the case of a use of the container building 10 in accordance with the invention as a field supply facility for

military or humanitarian applications. Indeed, a drain channel 50 is preferably integrated in the bottom element 42. This drain channel 50 extends essentially parallel to the longitudinal direction 36. As shown in Figure 2, this drain channel 50 extends over the entire longitudinal extension of the container building 10. Therefore, it leads from the inside of the container building 10 outwards and leaves the container building 10 on the extreme sides of the intermediate space 38, which are designated with the reference signs 49a and 49b (see figure 3). Outside the container building 10, heating means may be provided for heating the drain channel 50 (not shown). Such heating means can be carried out, for example, by hot tubenas. In the same way, electric heating means are also conceivable. These heating means essentially serve to prevent a freezing of waste water outside the container building 10. This is especially necessary when the container building 10 is used as a supply facility in the field at very low ambient temperatures.

The drain channel 50 integrated in the bottom element 42 is preferably configured of noble steel to prevent corrosion during long-term application periods. The noble steel channel 50 is covered upwards with a cover grating 52. In order to avoid stumbling blocks and to guarantee an interior surface of the floor 40 as smooth as possible, the upper side of the cover grating 52 preferably ends flush with the upper side of the bottom element 42 and, therefore, also flush with the interior surface of the floor 40.

Through the arrangement of the drain channel 50 and its integration into the bottom element 342 another basic idea of the new container building 10 is realized. Therefore, an essential basic idea is to separate the outer shell and its equipment from the housing of containers from each other. The drainage channel 50 in the center of the container building 10 has been revealed in this case as a very advantageous embodiment, especially in the case of using the container building 10 as a mobile field kitchen. The residual water produced in the field kitchen can be discharged in this way, in fact, directly onto the cover grid 52, or it can be carried by means of flexible pipes or tanners directly to the drainage channel 50. Through the drain channel 50, the wastewater then reaches out. An essential advantage of this arrangement is that during the formation or installation of the container building 10, additional drainage lines must not be laid. This saves assembly time. In another case, the outer envelope of at least one of the two containers 12, 14 must be opened to lay such drain pipes from the inside out. However, this is not necessary here.

The integration of the drain channel 50 directly on the floor of the container building 10 also simplifies its interior cleaning. For cleaning the space cell 39, this can be injected, for example, with the help of a high pressure cleaner. The water produced in this case then circulates automatically over the drain channel 50 located in the center of the space cell 39 outwards. In this way, field kitchens can be cleaned easily and quickly, especially in the case of militarily used field kitchens, where under the impassable situation an enormous amount of dirt is produced with moisture, it is a considerable advantage a Possibility of cleaning this type of country kitchen.

To facilitate the handling of waste water in such a container kitchen, a mobile movable water tank 54 can also be used, for example. An exemplary water tank 54 made in the form of a car is shown in detail in Figure 11. The water tank 54 can be moved on rollers 56 inside the container building 10. If necessary, the water tank 54 can be approximated movable and a kitchen appliance to empty, for example to a sink to empty. By means of a brake 58 it can be fixed in position. To vary the water tank 54 again, it only has to be placed on the cover grid 52 of the drain channel and can be emptied. In this way all the manipulation of the residual water inside the container can be carried out.

The water tank 54 has sieves more advantageously, so that food scraps and the like can be collected by the sieves and only the residual water itself reaches the drainage channel 50 in the center of the container 10. In this way, essentially an obstruction of the drain channel 50 must be avoided. The screen inside the outlet tank 54 can be removed, for example upwards. The wastewater can be emptied, for example, through a hole on the bottom side of the water tank 54 over the outlet hole (not shown).

Next, the other features of the new container building 10 are explained. Especially in the case of an employment of the container building 10 in finer weather regions, the container building 10 should be sealed not only down (through the element of bottom 42), but also laterally and on the roof. For the formation of continuous side walls of the space cell 39, insulating wall elements 55a, b can be arranged between the two containers 12, 14 in the intermediate space 38 (see especially Figure 3). Preferably, the unfolded doors 24a, 26a or 24b, 26b are additionally covered with cover awnings (not shown). The lateral insulation and especially the cover with the awning are important, because the new container building 10 among other things for regions of employment with temperatures up to -40 ° C and, therefore, a freezing of the interior of the interior of the container and also of the door elements

deployed 24a, 26a or 24, 26b.

Also the cover of the new container building 10 is therefore sealed, preferably, to create a completely closed space cell inside the container building 10. The details of this roof cover are schematically represented in Figures 8. and 9. According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, for the formation of a continuous interior roof surface in the intermediate space 38 a ceiling element 60 is provided which extends in the longitudinal direction 36 as a joint piece To this end, the most different types of fixations are conceivable. A preferred type of fixing is shown in Figures 8 and 9. In this case, the roof element 60 is fixed on weatherstrips 62 in corresponding weatherstrip rails 64, which are provided both in the roof area of the first container 12 and also in the roof area of the second container 14. The roof element 60 can therefore be inserted relatively quickly and easily over the weatherstrips 62 in the weatherstrip rails 64 and then covers the roof area of the intermediate space 38 However, it is understood that other types of ceiling fixing are also possible.

In order to achieve an additional seal, the passage element 60 can be preferably bent. The domed state of the ceiling element 60 is schematically represented in Figure 9. The ceiling element 60 has an inflatable flexible tube for this purpose or It is configured as an inflatable tube of this type.

Figure 10 shows another variant of the roof element 60 '. Instead of an inflatable roof element 60 it is conceivable, in principle, also an embodiment in the form of a "fixed roof". The alternative roof element 60 'shown in Figure 10 has one or more nigged roof parts. For example, one or more insulation panels could be used for this purpose. Also in this way a sufficient sealing of the ceiling is achieved. The fixing of the roof element 60 'in the containers 12, 14 can be carried out again in different ways. A preferred possibility is once again the use of weatherstrips and corresponding weatherstrip rails (see Figures 8 and 9).

Another aspect of the new type of container construction refers to a so-called adapter plate 66, on which several holes 68 are arranged for the entry and exit of connection pipes (see Figure 1). More precisely said, on this adapter plate 66, all holes 68 are preferably arranged - with two exceptions - for the inlet and outlet of connection pipes and connection lines. The only two exceptions are air outlet orifices 70, which are arranged in the longitudinal wall 18b of the container building 10. These air outlet orifices 70 serve for the exit of exhaust air from inside the container building 10.

The placement of a single adapter plate 66, through which all connection lines and all connection tubes can reach inside the container building 10, is a very economical variant. Otherwise, individual holes in the walls of the container must be cut. This makes the production of the container building 10 relatively expensive and expensive. Instead, according to the present invention, on the other hand, only a large hole is cut in the wall of the container, in which the adaptation plate 66 is arranged. Although in the present example only an adaptation plate 66 is arranged In general, it will be conceivable in the same way to still place a second adaptation plate in the container building 10; for example one adaptation plate 66 for each container 12, 14. The details of this adaptation plate 66 are published in a second application filed separately from it on the same day.

The ventilation of the container building 10 is carried out in accordance with the invention through a ventilation channel 84. The ventilation channel 84 is schematically represented in Figure 14. It is preferably arranged in the area of the ceiling wall 28, 30 of the container building. For example, this can be hung with the help of a hook on the roof element 60 described above. The outer envelope of the ventilation channel 84 is preferably fabric. Therefore, the ventilation channel 84 can be folded very easily for transport. Although this is not explicitly represented, the ventilation channel 84 is connected in accordance with the invention by means of a flexible ventilation tube with the ventilation plate. connection 66. Through this flexible ventilation tube, hot air or fno air can be supplied to the ventilation channel 84 from the outside (outside the container housing 10), if desired.

Alternatively, the air supply can also be carried out through the insulating side wall 55a or 55b. To this end, in one of the two or in the two side wall elements 55a, b another hole 69 may be provided, through which a flexible ventilation tube is conducted to the interior of the building. This alternative is shown, for example, in Figures 5 and 10. Then an additional hole 68 can be suppressed, which is provided in accordance with the first alternative (see Figure 1) on the connection plate 86. Also the provision of an orifice 69 in the side wall element 55a, b has the advantage that additional holes in the side walls of the containers 12, 14 must not be made manually later. The side wall elements 55a, b can be provided, in effect, already previously (during manufacturing) with such holes 69. An air supply hose or air supply channel inserted in the holes 69 and / or 68 can then flow into the inner side in the ventilation channel 84.

The air fed to the ventilation channel 84 then passes through the first and second air outlet openings 86, 88 to the interior space 39 of the container building 10. The ventilation channel 84 preferably configured as a flexible fabric tube has, therefore, drills practiced in a definite way there This can be done through a simple perforation of the fabric hose. According to the invention, the air outlet holes 86, 88 are configured, however, of different sizes. The first air outlet holes 86 arranged on the first side 90 of the ventilation channel 84 are configured according to the invention larger than the air outlet holes 88 arranged on the second opposite side 92 of the ventilation channel 84. The second side 92 of the ventilation channel 84 is preferably arranged on the side of the container building 10, on which the air outlet holes 80 are also located in the outer wall of the container. In this way, a favorable air circulation can be formed from the climatic point of view inside the container building 10.

Another feature according to the invention is shown in detail in Figure 15. On the inner side of the doors 24a, b or 26cc, b directed towards the interior space 39 several rails 94 are preferably arranged. These can be welded, by For example, on the steel wall of the container or they may be screwed with the steel wall of the container. Other types of fixation are equally conceivable. In the lanes 94, several mooring eyelets 96 are preferably provided. During the transport of the individual containers 12, 14, the installation objects found in the container building 10 can be moored in this way with the help of tension cords in these tie-down eyelets 97. This guarantees a safe transport of the installation objects.

Also the installation of the container building 10 according to the invention is configured very simple.

According to a configuration of this procedure, before the arrangement of the two containers, a first and a second adjustment plate 71 is arranged on a substrate parallel to each other. Such adjustment plate 71 is shown in detail (in the unmounted state) in Figure 12. The adjustment plates 72 used have, respectively, a first fitting means 73 and a second fitting means 75, which define between themselves a distance from the interior space 38 to be made between the containers 12, 14. The containers 12, 14 can thus be arranged on the adjustment plates 71. This automatically results in the intermediate space 38 between the two containers 12, 14. The first fitting means 73 fit in the first housings 74 in the first container 12. The second fitting means 75 fit, respectively, in the second housing 78 in the second container 14. Preferably, an adjustment plate 71 is arranged in the front side of the container building 10 and the other adjustment plate 71 on its rear side (not visible in figures 12, because it is hidden).

The aforementioned fitting means 73, 75 can be configured, for example, as vertical pivots (see Figure 12), which are provided on the upper side of the adjustment plates 71. For the formation of the container building 10 they are deposited, therefore, preferably first of all the two adjustment plates 71 on the subfloor. These adjustment plates 71 are intended to adjust the rear position of the containers 12, 14 already in the previous field. The distance of the two fitting means 73, 75 of each predetermined adjustment plate 71 and the distance d of the intermediate space 38 to be made between the containers 12, 14. Both adjustment plates 71 are preferably identical for this purpose.

In this way, only a fine adjustment of the container building arrangement during formation is necessary. The possible irregularities of the ground can be compensated by means of a leveling system 77, which is arranged in the corners of the container building 10 (see Figure 12).

Alternatively, instead of common adjustment plates 71, on which both container buildings are placed, separate adjustment plates 68, 70 can also be used, as exemplified in Figure 13. In this case, The adjustment plates 68, 70 parallel to each other are arranged, such that they define between each other the intermediate space 38, which extends in the longitudinal direction 36, of the width b. As soon as the adjustment plates 68, 70 are correctly positioned, then the two containers 12, 14 are placed on the adjustment plates 68, 70. To this end, the two containers 12, 14 are placed on the adjustment plates 68 , 70. To this end, the first adjustment plate 68 has gearing means 72, which fit into corresponding housings 74 in the first container 23. Similarly, the second adjustment plate 70 also has fitting means 76, which they fit into corresponding housings 78 in the second container 14.

The fitting means 72, 76 mentioned are preferably reconfigured as vertical pivots, as in the first variant. The vertical pivots 72, 76 provided on the adjustment rods 68, 70 are preferably adapted to the connection holes 74, 78, which have the typical 20-foot containers for fixing on container ships or trucks. Most of the time, these junction holes 74, 78 are arranged in the corners of the containers 12, 14. During the formation the two containers 12, 14 are placed, therefore, only on the pivots 72, 76 or, according to the first variant (preferred) on the pivots 73, 75.

Since the position of the containers 12, 14 and, therefore, also the width d of the intermediate space 38 are already pre-adjusted through the adjustment plates 71 or 68, 70, the containers 12, 14 do not have to be moved or displaced already later. This is very advantageous especially for the partly immense weight of such containers. The formation of the container building 10 can be accelerated in this way 5 significantly.

After the placement of the two containers 12, 14, only the bottom element 42 should still be inserted as a connecting piece and the other edges of the intermediate space 38 are sealed, as described above, laterally and on the ceiling. In this way, the formation of the container building 10 can be carried out only in a few work stages, which can be carried out in a relatively fast and simple way.
