Abstract
Description
- This application claims priority to and incorporates entirely by reference U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 62/441,521 filed on Jan. 2, 2017.
- This invention relates to a system for coupling with a vehicle and including a transport apparatus and a foundation floor system for minimizing the height of a structure's frame during transport and, as a result, increasing the design height of the finalized structure.
- The U.S. Department of Transportation mandates that the maximum allowable height for a vehicle, trailer, or other transported structure be 13′ 6″ (4.1148 meters) above the road surface. This height limitation is a primary reason that a typical mobile home or park model R.V. has a low-pitched roof in relation to structures that are entirely built on-site.
- A typical construction of mobile homes and park model RVs generally utilizes long structural steel beams, across which the floor joists are installed perpendicular to these beams. Finally, the floor decking is installed and the floor system is complete. This system can be anywhere from 16″ to 22″ in thickness. Then, in order to be transported, a set of axles is installed under the center of the frame, which raises the floor to a height of 36″ to 42″ above the road surface for transport. The resulting “Design Height” for the structure above the floor is thereby limited to 10′ to 10′-6″, causing the structure to have a relatively “squatty” appearance, which limits design options.
- Traditional mobile home construction is very stringent on the weight of materials used in their construction. This translates downward to the required strength of the frame to support these loads. The goal of typical mobile home construction is ultimately to be at a reduced cost and weight as compared to other construction methods. Keeping weight to a minimum allows for the use of less expensive steel for the foundation frame. The result of this type of construction is that the frame will be somewhat “flexible”. Moreover, tiny homes are traditionally built on an “equipment hauler” variety of trailer frame. These trailers are used to move heavy equipment like tractors, cars or other motor vehicles, and are individually rated for their maximum load, as mandated by several factors including the capacity of the steel in the frame, as well as the capacity and quantity of the axles under the trailer.
- Lastly, traditional mobile frames are transported on a series of axles fastened to the underside of their frame. This adds height to the system, reducing the design height for the finalized home structure. Similarly, the tongue hitch of a mobile home is bolted to the underside of the frame, raising the front end of the unit off of the ground.
- In view of the problems associated with presently available frame and associated transport systems, there is a need for a system for minimizing the height of a structure's frame, wherein the frame remains close to the ground or road surface during transport, and increasing the design height of the finalized structure.
- Attempts have been made to overcome comparable problems, but such attempts, while useful for their intended purposes, have not provided an entirely suitable solution. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 6,681,535 to Batchelor discloses a mobile home transport dolly for connection with a lower support frame of a mobile home transported by the transport dolly, wherein the transport dolly includes an upper frame, a plurality of spaced apart load bearing transport wheels attached by a suspension system affixed to a lower aft end of the upper frame, at least one vertical spacing frame member affixed beneath a forward end of the upper frame, and a plurality of spaced apart coupling extensions affixed to the at least one vertical spacing frame member and extending forwardly therefrom, and attachment means securing the coupling extensions to an aft end of the mobile home lower support frame.
- In accordance with one form of the present invention, there is provided a foundation floor system and associated transport apparatus for use in combination with a transport vehicle and an on-site foundation, the foundation floor system including a frame, the frame including opposing I-beams having a height of approximately twelve (12) inches and each of the opposing I-beams having an upper flange and a lower flange; a plurality of bar joists each extending perpendicularly between the opposing I-beams and having a plurality of web members extending therebetween; each of the plurality of bar joists being in parallel alignment relative to each other and having first and second ends secured to corresponding ones of the opposing I-beams; opposing header beams each extending between corresponding ends of the opposing I-beams; first and second tube beams each being located interiorly adjacent to a respective one of the opposing I-beams beneath the upper flange, each of the first and second tube beams surrounding an end channel; and wherein the frame forms a surface that is sized and configured for receipt of a building structure; first and second outriggers each being selectively securable to a respective one of the opposing I-beams for increasing the width of the surface; a saddle that is structured and disposed for connecting the frame to the on-site foundation, wherein the saddle includes a plurality of connecting members extending downwards from a base, and the base including a clamp for securing the lower flange of a respective one of the opposing I-beams; and a transport apparatus that is configured for transporting the frame thereon, the transport apparatus including a plurality of partitioned beams each being sized and configured for snuggly engaging the end channel of the first and second tube beams for supporting the frame during transport to the on-site foundation.
- In accordance with another form of the present invention, there is provided a foundation floor system and associated transport apparatus for use in combination with a transport vehicle and an on-site foundation, the foundation floor system including a frame, the frame including opposing I-beams each having an upper flange; a plurality of bar joists each extending perpendicularly between the opposing I-beams; each of the plurality of bar joists being in parallel alignment relative to each other and having first and second ends secured to corresponding ones of the opposing I-beams; first and second tube beams each being located interiorly adjacent to a respective one of the opposing I-beams beneath the upper flange, each of the first and second tube beams surrounding an end channel; and wherein the frame forms a surface that is sized and configured for receipt of a building structure; a saddle that is structured and disposed for connecting the frame to the on-site foundation, wherein the saddle includes a plurality of connecting members extending downwards from a base, and the base including a clamp for securing the lower flange of a respective one of the opposing I-beams; and a transport apparatus that is configured for transporting the frame thereon, the transport apparatus including a plurality of partitioned beams each being sized and configured for snuggly engaging the end channel of the first and second tube beams for supporting the frame during transport.
- In accordance with another form of the present invention, there is provided a foundation floor system and associated transport apparatus for use in combination with a transport vehicle and an on-site foundation, the foundation floor system including a frame, the frame including opposing I-beams each having an upper flange; a plurality of bar joists each extending perpendicularly between the opposing I-beams; each of the plurality of bar joists being in parallel alignment relative to each other and having first and second ends secured to corresponding ones of the opposing I-beams; first and second tube beams each being located interiorly adjacent to a respective one of the opposing I-beams beneath the upper flange, each of the first and second tube beams surrounding an end channel; and wherein the frame forms a surface that is sized and configured for receipt of a building structure.

In one embodiment, the I-beams 14 have a height of approximately twelve inches. A plurality ofbar joists 16 extend perpendicularly between the opposing I-beams 14 and include a plurality ofweb members 18 extending therebetween. Each of the plurality ofbar joists 16 are in parallel alignment relative to each other and have first and second ends secured to corresponding ones of the opposing I-beams 14. Opposingheader beams 20 extend between corresponding ends of the opposing I-beams 14. Referring specifically toFIGS. 4 and 5 , first andsecond tube beams 22 are each located interiorly adjacent to a respective one of the opposing I-beams 14 beneath theupper flange 12. Each of the first andsecond tube beams 22 surround an end channel formed by thetube beams 22.Plate supports 24 are provided throughout theframe 11 for maintaining the structural integrity of theframe 11. - Still referring to
FIGS. 1-5 , in one embodiment, first andsecond outriggers 26 may be used for increasing the width of the surface of theframe 11. Eachoutrigger 26 may be selectively secured to a respective one of the opposing I-beams 14 for increasing the width of the surface. - Referring now to
