Abstract
A building formed from one or more prefabricated steel framed modular blocks, where one or more of the blocks may be joined together to form a larger structure. . Preferably the modules are pre-fitted with roof coverings, doors, windows, wall and floor coverings, electrical and data cables, plumping and decorated prior to the modules onsite installation. The framework for the modules is formed from steel I-beams to form a skeletal block frame upon which the walls, floor and ceiling are attached. The modules may be joined together side by side, and/or stacked on top of each other up to three high, and joined together by bolts through the main frame. The modules can form structures of various configurations and sizes, where the roofs of the modular blocks may form a balcony area for other modules, and external staircases may be use d to provide access to stacked modules.
Description
Pre-Fitted Customisable Temporary Structure Module This invention relates to a modular temporary structure for use at events and filming locations.
There is a requirement for temporary structures that create attractive and functional environments on-site at events and filming locations.
Currently temporary structures are constructed on-site from multiple frame and panel components. This can be a lengthy process and the end result leaves you with a shell that still needs to be internally fitted. The internal fit out includes elements such as: floor coverings, walling, ceilings, graphic panels, climate control systems, sound systems, lighting, power cables and sockets, data cables for video and internet cables. All of these processes take precious time during on-site installations. To overcome lengthy on-site installation times, the present invention proposes a solution that combines all of the above processes in a warehouse environment to create a pre-fitted module ready for on-site installation.
The module is a steel framed box structure that allows for the custom fitting of the following prior to on-site installation: glass windows, glass doors, roofing, ceilings, floors, floor coverings, external graphics, internal graphics, climate control systems, sound systems, lighting, power cables and sockets, data cables for video and internet cables.
Modules can be used on their own or as multiple joined configurations.
The modules can be stacked up to three high.
The modules can join both lengthways and widthways to form many different shaped and sized temporary structures.
Modules are transportable when fitted.
Flat roof sections provide balcony areas on top of modules.
The invention will now be described by way of example and with reference to the accompanying drawings in which: Figure 1. Shows the main framework of the module. The main framework consists of four side horizontal steel I-beam 1, four end horizontal steel I-beam 2 and four vertical steel column 3.
The main framework is both robust and functional. Vertical columns 3 are hollow and steel I-beams 1, 2 have natural recessed channels. This allows for the cables and pipework to be run discreetly.
Figure 2. Shows a close up of a top corner of the main framework.
This demonstrates channels and holes in which cables and pipework can be run.
Figure 3. Shows one ceiling section. This consists of steel frame 5 which bolts onto the main framework horizontal steel I-beam 1.
Ceiling tiles 4 allow for the insertion of sound systems, lighting and vents for climate control systems in any desired configuration.
Figure 4. Shows all four ceiling sections in place with twelve potential ceiling tile inserts for speakers, lights and vents.
Figure 5. This demonstrates horizontal steel floor beams 6 bolted into main framework horizontal steel I-beam 1 ready for floor panels.
Figure 6. Floor panels 7 are made from wood, these are in four sections. The wooden panels sit on the horizontal steel floor beams. Wood is used so that holes can be drilled easily for internal technical layouts. Again, all floor sections are removable depending on specification. This creates a level surface ready for application of floor coverings.
Figure 7. Window panels 8 have a UPVC frame with laminated glass panels. These bolt into the main framework. Window panels 8 fit on any side or end of the module. They simply bolt to the main framework. The large glass panels offer a surface for vinyl print branding. This brands the exterior and also offers privacy indoors when required.
Door panels 9 are sliding doors with UPVC frame and laminated glass. The sliding doors can go on any end or side of the main framework.
Figure 8. Steel base plates 10 spread weight loading on the surface beneath. Base plates have base screw jacks attached to offer height adjustment for leveling.
Figure 9. Roof panels 11 are fully waterproof and consist of an internal steel frame with a sheet metal cover on top and bottom.
These bolt onto the main framework of the module according to required specification. The roof panels also form a balcony area on top of a module with the use of railings 12 which bolt onto roof panels for safety.
Figure 10. This shows caps 13 on horizontal steel I-beam sections.
They are sprayed aluminium caps which slot over the I-beams to cover all cabling and pipework and form a seamless finish to a module. Graphic vinyl wraps can be applied to these in order to further customize the modules.
Figure 11. An example of a configuration with three modules stacked with low external staircase 14 and high external staircase for access. Modules can stack up to three high. Modules bolt together through the main framework for stability. A crane is used on-site to lift modules into position.
Figure 12. Shows two modules being joined lengthways by aligning and bolting together.
Figure 13. Shows two modules being joined widthways by aligning and bolting together.
Figure 14. Shows a layout of modules combining joining and stacking. Roof panels 11 and railings 12 are used in a configuration to create a balcony area. Sliding doors 9 and windows 8 are configured to suit the module layout. Low external staircases 14 are used for access to the first floor.
