Definitions

  • the present invention concerns a house, more particularly a dismountable house or emergency house.
  • Known emergency houses usually consist of tents or the like which can be erected in a relatively short time in order to be able to offer shelter in case of natural disasters or the like.
  • a disadvantage of such known tents is that they often have limited dimensions and that they are not sufficiently resistant against earthquakes or heavy storms, such that they may collapse, break down or can even be swept away by a fierce gust of wind.
  • Prefabricated houses are already known, whereby the walls, floors and ceilings of the house are manufactured beforehand and are transported to the desired location to be assembled into a whole there.
  • the present invention aims to offer a house, more particularly a dismountable house or emergency house, which can be built in a short time on any ground whatsoever, without any foundations being required, whereby all the accessories for realising the house are always available in a very compact manner and whereby the house can be dismounted and transported in a fast and simple manner.
  • the present invention concerns a house, more particularly a dismountable house or emergency house, whereby this house mainly consists of a container against which is provided an extension in the shape of a prismatic construction, which is built of a supporting structure in the form of a frame and floor elements and cover elements.
  • FIG. 1 represents a house according to the invention
  • FIG. 2 represents a section according to line II-II in FIG. 1 ;
  • FIGS. 3 to 6 represent the construction of a house according to the invention in steps
  • FIG. 7 represents the part indicated by F 7 in FIG. 6 to a larger scale
  • FIG. 8 represents a variant of a house according to the present invention.
  • a house 1 mainly consists of a container 2 with a bottom 3 , three side walls 4 A and a side wall 4 B which is provided with access hatches in the known manner, and a top wall 5 , whereby two opposite standing side walls 4 and an extension 6 in the form of a prismatic construction is provided, whose cross section is an isosceles and more particularly an equilateral triangle.
  • Every extension 6 is hereby directed crosswise to the container 2 and is built of a supporting structure in the shape of a frame 7 , whereby, by means of floor elements and cover elements which are provided against the frame 7 , a living space is defined.
  • the extension 6 extends on each side of the container 2 above the container 2 , and both extensions are connected to each other by means of an intermediate part, to thus obtain a continuous living space which extends over the container 2 .
  • FIGS. 3 to 6 represent the construction of such a house 1 during the successive steps of the realisation of the house 1 in greater detail.
  • Every above-mentioned frame 7 consists of parallel, triangular and vertical sections 8 , which are in this case isosceles and more particularly equilateral, and each side of which is composed of three profiles 9 of equal length which are equal or almost equal to the height of the container 2 , multiplied by the tangent of 30°.
  • the centre distance between connecting pieces lying next to each other is equal to the height of the container 2 , multiplied by the tangent of 30°.
  • the vertical sections 8 are placed such that their bottom side 10 is situated horizontally and they are situated at the same height as the bottom 3 of the above-mentioned container 2 .
  • the above-mentioned (connecting pieces of the inclined, standing sides of the above-mentioned sections 8 are mutually connected by means of horizontal profiles 11 which are preferably equally long as the above-mentioned profiles 9 and which, given their length, are situated at the height of the top side 5 of the container 2 and at a height which is equal to twice the height of the container 2 .
  • the above-mentioned vertical sections 8 of every extension are mutually connected by means of horizontal cross profiles 12 which are preferably equally long as the above-mentioned profiles 9 .
  • the adjacent sections of the extensions 6 are connected to each other by means of intermediate connecting profiles 13 .
  • profiles 9 and 11 and the cross profiles 12 can all be made having the same length, they can be produced in series, which is considerably time- and money-saving.
  • An additional advantage thereof is that the mounting is made considerably easier, and the risk of faults is minimized, as the choice is limited to only one profile length, as a result of which also the stacking of the loose profiles is made easier.
  • the above-mentioned vertical sections 8 are in this case mutually connected as well, in order to reinforce the construction, by means of one or several metal cross bracings 14 .
  • cross profiles 9 and 11 , cross profiles 12 and/or cross bracings 14 are connected to each other by means of the above-mentioned connecting pieces which hold two or several profiles together by means of bolts or the like.
  • the above-mentioned cover elements are in this case formed of metal cover plates 15 which are fixed to the above-mentioned supporting structure in a suitable manner, fitting against each other, to thus form a roof covering and end walls of the house 1 .
  • the floors are formed of floor elements in the shape of floor slabs 16 which are provided on the above-mentioned horizontal profiles 11 and the horizontal cross profiles 12 .
  • These floor slabs 16 preferably have the same dimensions as the above-mentioned cover plates 15 for the roof, such that these cover plates and floor slabs 15 and 16 are mutually exchangeable.
  • cover plates and floor slabs 15 and 16 can be provided with a tooth and groove system which is not represented in the figures, which can work in conjunction with a tooth and groove system of an adjacent plate.
  • cover plates and/or floor slabs 15 and/or 16 are preferably provided with a thermally insulating layer which is not represented in the figures.
  • the house 1 is provided with two floors, namely a bottom floor 17 and a top floor 18 , whereby the above-mentioned top floor 18 is situated at the same height as the top wall 5 of the container 2 .
  • a house 1 according to the invention can also have only one floor or several floors.
  • the container 2 is in this case provided with a flight of stairs 19 , which extends from inside the container 2 to an opening 20 in the top wall 5 of said container 2 , such that a connection between the above-mentioned bottom floor 17 and the top floor 18 is realised.
  • the above-mentioned container 2 is preferably also provided with at least one door 21 which provides access to each of the respective extensions 6 from the space inside the container 2 .
  • the constituent parts of the above-mentioned frame 7 and the above-mentioned floor and cover elements can be provided in the above-mentioned container 2 when disassembled.
  • the above-mentioned container 2 and the above-mentioned supporting structure are in this case provided with supporting elements 22 which can be adjusted in height.
  • FIG. 7 represents such a supporting element 22 in greater detail, which consists of a guiding shaft 23 which is fixed to a side wall 4 of the container 2 and in which a supporting leg 24 is provided in a sliding manner by means of a known transmission mechanism in the form of a gear transmission, which is not represented in the figures, which can be excited by means of a crank 25 .
  • the above-mentioned extending supporting legs 24 are provided with supporting plates 26 which provide stability to the house 1 and whose dimensions depend on the bearing capacity of the bottom on which the house 1 is placed.
  • the above-mentioned extending supporting legs 24 must not be manually excited according to the invention, but they can be realised in many different ways, such as for example in the form of hydraulic or pneumatic pistons.
  • FIG. 8 represents a variant of a house 1 according to the invention, whereby the above-mentioned extensions 6 are made longer than in the preceding embodiment, as the frame 7 is provided with additional vertical sections 8 .
  • cover elements 9 are not restricted to metal cover plates 15 according to the invention, but they can also be realised in the form of plastic panels, tent cloths or the like.
  • a method for building a house 1 according to the invention mainly consists of successively going through the following stages:
  • the present invention is not restricted to the use of a prismatic construction with a triangular cross section either; it can also be realised in the form of other prismatic constructions which make it possible to use a large number of similar-shaped profiles 9 and 11 and cross profiles 12 , for example with a square cross section.
  • a house 1 according to the invention must not always be provided with an extension 6 on two side walls 4 A of the container 2 , but that it is also possible to provide such an extension 6 on only one or on more than two side walls 4 A of the container 2 .
