DESCRIPTION OF INDUSTRIAL INVENTION

With the title: CELL CONTAINER FOR THE REALIZATION OF ONE OR MORE HOUSING UNITS

The invention is a container cell for the construction of one or more housing units, transportable, having the same external dimensions and strength characteristics as all containers commercially in use. It can therefore be 20 or 40 feet long with normal height or high cube and be transported on a wheel, train or ship like a normal container and placed on any land or surface suitably prepared and tested for resistance to supporting its own weight and accidental loads. resulting from the final housing module.

At present there are numerous solutions of transportable housing models. Some have the dimensions of the containers on the market, others have smaller dimensions, others have larger dimensions and therefore their transport has the limits of "exceptional transport". In any case, they have systems and internal spaces already defined and ready for use; there is also a housing module called M.A.DL, protected by a patent application (patented is specified on the site that illustrates it), which initially has the dimensions of the container, and then, with a deployment system different from the invention being applied for, manages to obtain superior plan surfaces; the final result, however, is a housing model in the shape of a "Canadian tent", therefore with less enjoyable internal surfaces, all the systems between walls to be connected, kitchen and bathroom to be assembled.

The container cell object of the patent application is innovative because:

1. has dimensions in length, width and height and resistance characteristics equal to all containers commercially in use (table 1} and remain fixed and distinguishable even once the final living module has been built.

2. All the technological, plumbing and electrical systems necessary for the management and use of the final housing module are already set up inside. 3. at the ends there are two spaces within which the kitchen is installed in one, complete with induction hob, oven, sink and taps; in the other the bathroom complete with a shower, sink and taps. Other accessories, chosen by the customer, can be inserted in the furniture provided. On their upper external surface, once the final living module has been built, two balconies serving the rooms.

4. In the remaining space between the kitchen and the bathroom, all the other walls and elements (stairs, columns, railings, downspouts, water pipes and bidets) necessary for the formation of the final living module are inserted vertically and separately. this system, the final living module, has an area about four times larger than the original container cell.

5. a wall is anchored to one side with hinges which, once overturned with a 90 ° movement, increase the horizontal base on which all the other walls and elements will then be mounted in numbered succession.

6. its walls and all If other walls are sized in such a way that it is possible to customize the shape, position and size of the window and door holes, within the urban planning limits of the law, without compromising the static nature of the final living module.

7. its walls and all the other walls and elements that will form the final living module can be customized in the choice of finishing materials and interior and exterior colors.

8. the walls and other elements making up the final living module can be easily disassembled and placed inside the container cell allowing it, and its contents, to be transported to other places according to the changed needs and / or needs to then be reassembled again.

9. placing two structural cells side by side, once the respective walls and elements have been assembled, it is possible to obtain a combined one or a single large one.

As far as the electrical system is concerned, there are junction boxes on each side where the walls are joined, designed for the male-female connection of the cables intended for various uses. The machines for the production of domestic hot water, heating and cooling are heat pump. The energy necessary for the maintenance of the housing module is supplied by the photovoltaic system positioned on the two pitches of the roof which feed an accumulator; in the event of an emergency, the energy required is supplied by a small generator set already supplied. The use of methane gas or LPG as an energy source was therefore excluded. The condensate water produced by the heat pump is used in part to drain the toilet and the remainder is fed into the sanitary water system.

The assembly begins by arranging on the ground, suitably prepared to support the weight of the final living module, the iron supports already supplied. The handling of the container cell and the subsequent assembly of the walls and other elements is carried out with the use of a truck with crane. The device can be assembled in a few hours even by non-expert personnel, following a simple instruction booklet, and, once the connections have been made to a water source and a sewer drain, it is immediately usable. It is possible to anchor the housing module to the ground using special helical screws which, in the case of moving the module to another position, can be removed leaving the ground intact as it was originally.

The final result is a housing module on two floors (table 4} with variable surfaces depending on the dimensions of the starting container cell. The example considered in the attached tables is a container cell with the dimensions of a 40-foot container from which a living module is obtained with an area of approximately 103 gross sqm, with vertical internal and external walls that allow you to enjoy 100% of the internal spaces created. The useful internal heights vary from approximately 240 cm using a container cell with the shape of the normal container, about 270 cm using a container cell with the shape of the high cube container; moreover, as already specified, two balconies of 5 square meters in total are available. The access staircase to the upper floor is positioned approximately in the middle of the housing module final, in the space delimited by two iron columns, necessary for the partial support of the floor and the roof.

the invention, as mentioned in point 9, can become a single house consisting of an entrance, kitchen, living room, bathroom and dressing room, two large bedrooms or one large and two small ones, and two balconies (plate 6). It can become a combined one, placing two living modules side by side (table 7). It can become a single large one, placing two living modules side by side and arranging connecting openings on the ground floor (table 8). It can be used both for residential use and for accommodation and / or tourist activities.

The external walls are formed, starting from the outside, by:

1. Self-supporting high pressure laminate panel with customizable decorative surface, resistant to light and weather.

2. air gap that allows the wall an optimal breathability and considerably reduces the transmission of summer heat or winter cold towards the inside.

3. load-bearing structure in iron and wood (table 3} with interposed high-density rock wool insulating panels, useful both for thermal inertia and for noise reduction. The iron structure, formed by tubular sections external 10x10 cm, they are filled with polyurethane insulating foam in order to avoid thermal bridges and therefore condensation. The supporting structure is then covered on both sides with marine plywood panels. 4. the inside is finished with plasterboard or other finish. customer choice.
