Definitions

  • the object I have in view. is the production of a portable building in whlch the whole interior space from endto end, side to side, and floor to roof, is free and unobstructed, the parts of which may be standardized and fabricated and when unassembled occupy the least possible space, and which may be repeatedly, quickly and readily set up and taken down.
  • the frame consists of semi-circular or bow shaped ribs, each comprising three or more similar parts detachably secured together, which ribs are tied together and secured against longitudinal movement by purlins each comprising a plurality of parts and longitudinally arranged and detachably secured to the ribs and upon which purlins is laid and detachably secured an external roofing, which with the purlins assist in lending the necessary rigidity and stability to the structure.
  • Figure 1 is a view in cross section of the improved building
  • Fig. 2 is a broken view in plan-partly in section thereof,-
  • Figs. 3 and ,4 are broken views in section showing the joint in the'purlins and ribs
  • Fig. 8 is a broken view in section showing one of the hook bolts for securing the end panels in relation to the end rib
  • Fig. 9 is'a broken view in section showing an alternative method of fixing the ribs to the bearers, 7
  • Figs. 10 and 11 are broken views-showing how the recesses are'formed in connection with the ribs
  • Fig. 12 is a view in section showing an alternative method of forming the recesses.
  • 1g. 13 is an lnterior view partly broken, showing the construction and relation of parts and illustrating how the combination of elements contributes to the production of a building in which the entire interior space Is free and unobstructed, and
  • a series of bow or semi-circular supporting members or ribs (1 are mounted on bearers b, which are made in suitable lengths halved together at their junctions.
  • These members or ribs carry on their inner sides the lining d of the building and on their outer sides the purlins e which carry the outer wall or roof f.
  • the ends of the building consist of a series of panels it fitting in vertical struts is, said panels .containing the necessary windows, doors, and ventilators.
  • the ribs a are each made up of three or more lengths which are securedto one another by means of angle-iron brackets a and bolts and nuts. These ribs are .of a suitable section to provide or assist in providing a recess m on each side thereof. 'In
  • ribs are shown of T-section iron, and the recesses m are formed by and between the horizontal parts of said ribs and slats n which are arranged in parallel relation to said horizontal parts on each side of the vertical part of the rib and fixed in relation theretov by any suitable means but preferably by clip 0 which are so shaped as to straddle both the vertical part of the rib and also the slat on each side thereof and which are fixed by means of split pins -tion as by making these brackets (1' simiv lar to the brackets a all the elements of the ribs are alike and therefore become'in terchangeable.
  • brackets r are attached to cleats fixed to the sides of the bearers b, and in the lat ter construction the plates 1" are attached to the inner sides of the bearers b by coach screws, the ends of the ribs a in each case taking a bearing on the upper sides of the bearers b.
  • the boards or the like forming the lining d which are preferably tongued and grooved, are cut in suitable lengths to fit in between any two adjacent ribs and are held in place simply by engagement with the recesses m in connection with said ribs.
  • These boards or sheets may be of wood or any other suitable material or composition and of any desired thickness as being subject to no nailing there is no destructive ac; tionin erection or dismantling. Owing to the depths of the recesses into which the boards fit, longitudinal shrinkage within limits is of no matter, while transverse shrinkage canbe taken up b packing the boards or sheets tighter an if necessary inserting another length of the necessary width.
  • the section of the ribs a may be such as will grovide the neces: sary side recesses m. uch a section is 'shown in Fig. 12.
  • the corrugated iron sheets forming the outer wall or roof f are secured to the purlins e by means of clawed hook bolts similar to those shown in Figs.
  • the panels h. forming the ends of the building are constructed in any suitable manner, that illustrated being a convenient one. This consistsin filling in the panels with vertitors k in the panels between the inner and outer walls free circulation of air can be obtained throughout the longitudinally .arranged air spaces.
  • the floor joists a are preferably madein two lengths and rest at their outer ends on the bearers 12 supporting the ribs (1 and on their inner ends on a central bearer .72 said joists being kept in their correct position on the bearers b and b by means of dowel pins carried by said bearers and engaging holes in the joists.
  • the flooring a which is grooved and tongued, is preferably made up in suitably sized panels Fig. 14:, in which the bag contains the hardware used, and it represents the various end panels, illustrates the manner in which the separate parts of-the various structural elements of my portable building may be arranged and-Stacked for shipment and the small space which they occupy.
  • buildings can be erected of any length inmultiples of five feet, and hence are adapted for hospitals, garages, temporary dressing stations, stables, storehouses, mess halls, repair shops, and generally cover all the requirements and conditions whether for portable or permanent buildings.
  • each comprising a whole interior space from end to end, side to slde, and floor to roof is free and unobstructed, a frame comprlslng 1n comblnation semi-circular ribs spaced at substantlally equal distances apart, each COIIlPIlS- ing a plurality of similar parts, purlins each comprising a plurality of similar parts ubstantially equal in length to the distancebe tween two of said ribs, said purlins being arranged longitudinallyupon said ribs an detachably secured thereto, and an exterior roofing made up of separate parts and resting upon and detachably secured to the purlins.
  • a portable building comprising in combination supporting bearers, each comprising a plurality of similar parts, semi-circular ribs spaced at substantially equal i distances apart and each compr1sing a plurality of similar parts, the ends of which rest upon and are detachably secured to the bearers, purlins each comprising a plurality of parts longitudinally arranged on and detachably secured to the ribs, an exterior roofing made up of separate parts and resting upon and detachably secured to the purlins and a lining made up of separate parts and arranged between and detachably secured tothe ribs, the parts of said bearers, purlins and lining being all substantially equal in length to the distance between two of said ribs and being so arranged that the building may be constructed of a length equal to any desired multiple of the distance between two of saidribs.
  • a portable building comprising in combination, semi-circular ribs each comprisin plurality of similar parts, said bearers exribs, an exterior roofing resting'up0n and detachably secured to the purlins, and a lining arran ed between and detachably secured tot e ribs, said lining comprising a plurality of narrow pieces of material of a uniform length. equal to the distance between two of said ribs, whereby the building may be constructed of a length equal to any desired multiple of the dlstance between v two of said ribs.
  • purlins eac comprising a. plurality of similar parts longitudinally arranged on the ribs, the said parts being-joined together and secured to the ribs at the point of intersection of the purlins with the ribs.
  • a frame comprising in combina t1on semi-circular ribs of T-section arranged so that the vertical part of each rib is on the exterior thereof, and having slots formed adjacent the interior thereof for the reception of an inner lining, purlins longitudinally arranged and detachably secured to said ribs, an exterior roofing resting upon and detachably secured to the purlins and a lining comprising a plurality of relatively narrow pieces of material longitudinally arranged-and held in position'within the slots in said ribs.
