CI. 52-79 6 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Prefabricated building construction including a prefabricated utility core which contains the entire power supply for a building. The core is completely prefabricated and contains the heating unit, electrical system, airconditioning unit, and all the necessary plumbing for the building. The core may be prefabricated on a mass production basis or may be custom-built to suit individual tastes. Alternatively, several basic core constructions may be available which may then be mass producted. The core is transported to the building site and mounted on a foundation. Thereafter, the rest of the building can be rapidly built around the core. The base of the core provides girder support for the remainder of the building. The usual core will include one or more bathrooms, laundry room, utility room, kitchen, and breakfast room. All of the detail work on the enumerated rooms Will be completed prior to the shipment of the core to the building site.
The present invention relates to a prefabricated building construction and more particularly to a prefabricated building construction which utilizes a prefabricated utility core which includes the necessary heating, air-conditioning, electrical and plumbing supplies for the entire build- In the past, it has been suggested to prefabricate buildings. More specifically, it has been suggested to prefabricate a room of a building, such as a bathroom and to install such prefabricated room at a building site. This is generally accomplished by first erecting the building and thereafter adding the prefabricated bathroom to the building. While this has resulted in some saving as to the overall cost of the building, the saving has not been substantial.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a prefabricated building construction which substantially reduces the total cost of the building.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a prefabricated building construction which utilizes a utility core which includes the electrical system, air-conditioning unit, heating unit and plumbing for the entire building.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a prefabricated building construction which permits mass production on an assembly line basis of the most expensive and complex portion of the building.
It is yet another object of the present invention to provide a method of constructing a building which includes prefabricating a utility core, shipping the core to a building site, and construction of the building around the core.
It is a still further object of the present invention to provide a prefabricated building construction which utilizes a method wherein a core is first placed in position 3,492,767 Patented Feb. 3, 1970 on a footing and the remainder of the house built therearound.
It is still another object of the present invention to provide a prefabricated building construction which permits the construction of high quality housing at a substantial savings in cost.
Other objects will appear hereinafter.
The above and other objects are accomplished by means of the present invention. A utility core is provided and includes the entire power supply for the building. The utility core may contain a heating unit, electrical connections sufficient to supply the entire building, air-conditioning unit and all the plumbing for the building. In most instances, the core will include one or more bathrooms, a laundry room, a utility room including a heater, air-conditioner, and hot water heater, a breakfast room and a kitchen. The core will be prefabricated on a mass production basis and will be shipped to the building site. The foundation will be prepared and the utility core will be mounted on the foundation.
Everytln'ng within the utility core will be complete. Hence, it will be unnecessary to do any further plumbing, cabinet work, etc., with respect to the core. Thereafter, the remainder of the building can be rapidly built. The small trades jobs are substantially eliminated, hence saving a substantial amount of money and time with respect to the construction of the building.
The core is built on a wood flooring which is in turn clamped to a chassis. The chassis is preferably made of steel and is adapted to have a hitch and Wheels supported by an axle removably secured thereto. When the core is placed in its desired position on the foundation, the hitch and wheels and axle are removed and the chassis forms the main girder for the building.
It is possible to have several alternative types of cores available. Furthermore, it is possible to permit various changes to permit customizing of the basic cores. Substantially, the entire production of the core can be placed on a mass production system with a computerized system used to indicate the various modifications of the basic core.
It is possible to utilize the core in a building which has a basement or alternatively has no basement. The foundation will provide a support for the core and hence it is immaterial whether a basement is provided in the building. It is possible to utilize the utility core in single unit dwellings and multiple unit dwellings. By use of the prefabricated building construction of the present invention, houses can have customized exteriors, without the usual expense attendant to the production of custom-built houses.
For the purpose of illustrating the invention there is shown in the drawings a form which is presently preferred; it is being understood, however, that this invention is not limited to the precise arrangements and instrumentalities shown.
FIGURE 1 is a perspective view of a utility core having a hitch, and wheels and axle secured thereto and constructed in accordance with the principles of the present invention;
FIGURE 2 is a partial exploded view of the utility core of FIGURE 1;
FIGURE 3 is a section view taken along line 33 of FIGURE 1;
FIGURE 4 is an enlarged partial section view showing the details of the interconnection of the axle to the chassis and flooring of the prefabricated utility core; and
FIGURE 5 is a plan view of a house constructed in accordance with the principles of the present invention and utilizing a utility core.
Referring now to the drawings in detail wherein like numerals indicate like elements throughout the several views, there is disclosed in FIGURE 1 a utility core generally indicated by the reference numeral 10.
The utility core is provided with side walls 12 and 14 and end walls 16 and 18. The side walls and end walls may be bearing walls and, in any event, are of substantial construction. A plurality of partitions 20-26 may be provided for dividing the core 10 into various distinct rooms. The number of partitions utilized will, of course, depend upon the exact type of core design desired.
The core 10 is prefabricated and thereafter transported to the building site. The core 10 is provided with a floor 28. The floor 28 is supported by a sub-frame 29 having a plurality of joists 30. The sub-frame 29 may be made of wood and is secured to I- beams 32 and 34. The I- beams 32 and 34 form part of a chassis 36. The chassis 36 may be made of high strength steel and may be provided with a plurality of cross-support members 38 which extend between the I- beams 32 and 34.
The support members 38 are generally spaced equidistantly throughout the length of the chassis 36 as shown in FIGURE 2. However, three of the support members are designated 38' and are closer together in order to provide additional support adjacent one end of the chassis 36. An axle 40 is adapted to be removably attached to the chassis 36 by a suspension device. The axle 40 has a sleeve 42 on opposite ends thereof. Each sleeve 42 is secured to the axle 40 by any suitable conventional means. Each sleeve 42 has a leaf-spring 44 secured thereto. Each leaf-spring 44 may be integral with its respective sleeve 42 or may be connected to it in any suitable conventional manner. Each leaf-spring 44 is removably secured to two of the supports 38. As shown in FIGURE 4, the leaf-springs 44 may be secured to the supports 38' by means of bolts 46 or the like.
The core 10 is completely finished prior to shipment to the construction site. The core 10 is provided with a heating unit, air-conditioning unit, if desired, plumbing and electrical system suitable to supply the entire building.
