Definitions
- This invention relates to a building structure referred to as a garden building, to be used in the compound of a house for various purposes.
- the garden building is intended to be a small building structure outside of a house for various utility. It is meant to be available to the user in modular form for the ease of storage and transportation. It is intended that a user may buy the invention in its modular form and takes it home his or her own transport. Then he or she may conveniently set up the garden building in his or her own compound by him or herself, without the need of special tools. It conceived that houses having compounds or gardens yet without a garage might find such a garden building useful, i.e. for storage of gardening tools and related materials.
- GB 2240024 taught joints being inserts and slots. Specifically, the pet house exemplified therein uses H-shape slots and mating walls has H- shape inserts. Although such joints are structurally rigid by themselves, there is little room for tolerance in such a H- joint itself as there are a number of different complementing surfaces that comes into contact simultaneously. This is obvious from tracing the periphery of cross-section of such a joint.
- WO0161127 uses panels to form the building itself. It however uses latches and clamps on profiles as means of joining different panels together.
- GB621389 is' a hut that is significantly larger than the present invention. As such it needs to utilize a very rigid structure - metal framework with sole plates for resting on ground. Such rigid base and framework is not necessary for the present invention since it is much smaller and defeats the purposes of invention as briefly mentioned above.
- DE19920556 and EP1188872 are another two examples of such garden buildings, but they are larger and building them requires local builders; thus labour intensive.
- joints are kept as simple as possible when without trading off the rigidity of the joint. It will be apparent later especially to persons skilled in the art, that in the present invention jointing problems due to inaccuracies can be kept to a minimum, making manufacturing much cost effective and also much easier for user to assemble. Although there are more complicated joints for different needs, the present invention however do not concern with these.
- a modular garden house has sidewalls made up of regular wall panels. These load-bearing sidewalls are held together at their bottom surface and top surface by interconnections with a base frame and top frame respectively.
- the base frame is made up of ring beams joined together by bolts and nuts.
- the top frame is made up of two opposing side ring beams joined together by a pair of identical triangular frames. These interconnections are made by means of dowels inserted into hole sockets.
- Roof pieces are roof sheets built on frames. The roof pieces are supported by means of dowels on roof frames inserted into hole sockets on the triangular frames. The opening of the garden building is covered by removable door panels.
- Figure 1 shows the complete assembly of the invention.
- Figure 2 shows the top view of the base frame.
- Figure 3 shows the interconnection of the wall panels with the base frame.
- Figure 4 shows the assembly of the top frame on top of the wall panels, roof pieces and ridge capping.
- a garden building (100) as shown in Fig. 1 is made up basically of the following elements: wall panels (300), door panels (310), ring beams (200), triangular frames (410), roof pieces (400) and ridge capping (420) .
- a ring beam (201) is a rigid, strong and elongated flat beam.
- Four ring beams (201a, 201b, 201c, 201d) are joined together using bolts and nuts at each of their ends are used to form a rectangular base frame (105) (Fig. 2) .
- the width and length of the garden building (100) is width and length of the rectangular base frame (105) .
- the ring beams (201c) corresponding to the rear side and left (201a) and right side (201b) of the building (100) has holes (202) spaced at regular intervals for interconnection with wall panels
- Regular vertical wall panels (300) form the sidewalls (101a, 102a, 103a) of the building on the rear side (103), left (101) and right side (102) of the building.
- Each wall panels (300) may be embodied as a frame as shown in Fig. 1 and 3.
- Each vertical wall panel (300) has at least two dowels (301a, 301b, 302a, 302b) located at each top (304) and bottom end surface
- the dowels (301a, 301b) at the bottom end surface (303) of any particular wall panel are located in such a manner that each wall panel (300) can be inserted into the predetermined holes (202) on the base ring beams (201a, 201b, 201c) . Furthermore, the holes (202) on the base ring beams (201a, 201b, 201c) are distanced so that they not only receive any particular wall panel (300) but can also receive other similar wall panels (300) placed side by side to an already interconnected wall panel.
- a triangular frame (410) is interconnected with the top (304) of the rear sidewall (103a) in similar manner of interconnection using dowels (302a, 302b) on the wall panels (300) with holes (hidden from view) located on the base end surface (411) of triangular frame (410) ; as in the case with other sidewalls (101a, 102a, 103a) .
- This rear end triangular frame (410c) or referred to as first triangular frame is also joined to the side ringbeams (204a, 204b) using bolts and nuts to form a top frame (106) . At this juncture it is evident that this top frame (106) is isometric with the base frame (101) .
- Another triangular frame (410d) similar to the first triangular is joined to the other end of the side ringbeams
- These triangular frames (410c, 410d) have holes (412) predetermined at location on their inclined surfaces (411) .
- roof pieces (400) which are roof sheets (401) mounted on a frame can be supported on the triangular frames (410) by similar means of interconnections that uses dowel and hole sockets as described above.
- the roof pieces ( 400 ) has dowels (402) at predetermined locations to be inserted into the holes (412) on the inclined surface (411) of the triangular frames (410) .
- ridge capping (420) put over two peaks of the triangular frames (410) to complete the assembly.
- door panels (310) are removable panels placed on the opening of the front side (104) of the garden building
