Description

Method of Assembling a Residential Structure

The faster tempo of life dictates and encourages individuals to consider the use of simple residential buildings, which would mostly be made in production plants. Buildings formed with such a construction concept would be simple to transport to the location of placement and also not too technically demanding in terms of placement or installation itself.

For example, in SI 201500266 a technical construction solution of a comprehensive, foldable residential building is disclosed, which can be transported to the desired location by means of goods, accessible to the general public, not requiring special permits for transportation in regards to the existing infrastructure .

Buildings or facilities as described in SI 201500266 may be composed from a service or base part, which is shaped as a box and, considering the external appearance, fully assembled. The second part of the facility is a functional part, which may generally be of greater dimensions than the service part of the facility, and which is completely unassembled. Individual components of the functional part that comprise its walls, ceiling, and floor are manufactured and stacked in the empty space of the service part of the facility; such folded facility is thus prepared for logistics. The folded residential facility is constructed in a way that it can be transported using all standard means of transportation, including the standard 40-foot container or helicopter transport (for special requirements) from the manufacturer to the location of installation. In particular, such a moveable residential facility may comprise a service part that is prefabricated before assembling of the moveable residential facility and a functional part that is adjacent to the service part and constructed from construction components during assembling of the moveable residential facility. The construction components are configured to be stacked inside the service part.

Stated differently, the moveable residential facility is constructed from two separate parts: a service part and a functional part. While the service part is completely manufactured, e.g. in a factory, before assembling the moveable residential facility, the functional part will only be constructed on site. This means that the service part is simply placed on the location on which the moveable residential facility is to be constructed. Then, the functional part is constructed adjacent, i.e. next to, the service part from construction components. The functional part forms an extension of the service part to complete the moveable residential facility.

However, there is a problem that a construction concept of a residential building and the technological procedure of assembly or installation of such residential building can still be improved. Here, the word assembly will be used to denote the joining of one or several components into a more complex structure, and further the assembly of two or several complexes into an even more complex one, until a final product is in place.

In addition, the assembly procedure of foldable residential building may also simply be denoted as the procedure, which has a technically prescribed order of carrying out particular construction or technical installation operations. In terms of construction and assembly, foldable buildings are designed so that they consist of a service or base part and a functional part. The service part is in the form of a container or box, fully assembled in the workshop, which means that according to the wishes of a later user only one or several functional parts or rooms need to be installed, entirely finished, and equipped them with suitable carpentry. This carpentry may be adapted to the wishes and needs of the user both in terms of quality and in terms of type.

According to an example a division into several spaces may be made in the service part, those being sanitary spaces and a kitchen area. The functional part of the building may be formed as a single space, but this space may be adapted to the needs and wishes of a user and may be accordingly divided into several spaces, as well as suitably equipped.

The present invention is concerned with the problem of how to improve portable, composed prefabricated buildings as disclosed in SI 201500266, as well as with the problem as how to assemble such buildings advantageously. To this end for the construction known technical solutions are used, as e.g. known mechanical elements, such as bolts, nuts, pre-tensioning metal bolts of various dimensions. However, technically poor aspects, available as goods accessible to the general public have been removed as described in the following.

In particular, unification of certain elements, and a selection of wall materials of equal technical and quality characteristics that meet all set technical norms and standards for such buildings has been used to achieve a simple, technical accomplishment of assembly of individual building parts into complexes of increasing complexity up to the actual building itself. This is true for individual components, which were created as a result of proprietary design in the planning of the product as a whole. This is in particular achieved by focussing on the order of implementation of assembly works, as e.g. operations and their phases, from e.g. the preparation of terrain to the final products.

In the case of the assembly procedure according to the present invention it will be primarily referred to the construction work of terrain preparation and assembly procedures of welding, bolting, cutting, covering, sealing between elements, installation or connection of two or several components into a higher tier assembly.

It should be noted that the present invention is directed to residential structures that are not comparable to portable homes, installed on a vehicle chassis, disclosed e.g. in DE 33 03 543, US 6,325,447, US 4,215894, US 4,779,916, or US 5,490.707, or to independent habitation units, assembled on location, presented in DE 199 24 466, SI 22589m, or EP 1 481 137 B l . Installation procedures of the mobile residential building according to the present application are specific for modular construction of residential buildings, although the procedure nonetheless uses mechanical and technological laws of connection for certain modules, or better said, connection of complexes into the final whole.

The assembly procedure, i.e. the connection of complexes or a particular complex of elements, forming the residential building in the end, is designed such that each part, construction support, panel, flooring, part of a roof, glass part, was made in the workshop and, as a single segment, also completed there. In particular, a service area without roof, with visible rear end of the back wall of an adjacent functional part, is entirely constructed in the workshop and transported to the location of assembly as such. Other elements of a functional part of the building are prepared in the workshop so that assembly may be carried out on location, as described below.

The technologically designed way and order of assembly of individual parts of the building is based on the construction concepts of building whereby, in the described buildings that are presented as example metal profiles and panels are used as elements for example, with which the buildings are constructed. According to the present invention a method for assembling a portable building that comprises a service part and a functional part, wherein the service part is fully assembled before assembling the building, while the functional part in not fully assembled before assembling the building, but individual elements and components of the functional part are each assembled before assembling the portable building, the method comprising the steps of setting up the service part and assembling the building by constructing the functional part from its individual elements and components by attaching the functional part to the service part.

The present invention may use one or several of the following nine assembly operations on a surface, prepared in advance:

1. mounting of a service part of a building

2. assembly of a steel construction of a functional part of the building

3. assembly of a front glass wall of the functional part of the building

4. installation of floor panels

5. installation of side panels

6. installation of roof panels

7. installation of a sub-construction of a decorative layer on a facade

8. installation of the decorative layer on the facade, finishes on the facade, drainage, and

9. installation of blinds. An example for buildings to be constructed in this way are foldable components as described in detail in SI 201500266, which is incorporated for reference in its entirety here. These components are delivered as such to locations of assembly in a dismantled state, where the mounting of the service part is performed. To carry out this operation precisely and to complete it, the terrain has to be prepared for construction and solidified. Thus, preparations for adjusting the dimensions to the suggested building may be carried out as described below:

1.1. preparation and solidification of terrain in an area of e.g. 2 x 10 m

1.2. levelling of the area into an absolute straight with a foundation of gravel, buffer, or other compact material

1.3. placement of a service part onto the prepared position and connection of infrastructure in the case that it is present on the service part

1.4. levelling of the service part. A rear glass covering of the service part is attached to the service part at the plant and represents its lower construction part, the foundation for the attachment of metal supports for a functional part. Once we have set up, levelled and mounted the service part of the building, a steel construction of the functional part is assembled according to the following steps, which represent sub-operations of the second operation of our procedure:

2.1. installation of a metal support structure; first, at a distance, attached with lower side crosspieces, the front side of a residential part of the building is attached onto the service part

2.2. when the front side is mounted, top crosspieces are set up so that all parts are bolted onto each other

2.3. once the basic structure is mounted, it is levelled with regulation props.

The assembly of a front glass wall of the building is actually mounted onto the front side of the residential area and, as a whole, made at the workshop, while, when mounted, it represents the foundation for further assembly: 3.1. assembly of central metal rib onto the lower side crosspieces and levelling thereof with regulation props

3.2. assembly of a front metal construction of a small terrace

3.3. assembly of a front raised part of a residential part front with glass, and

3.4. connection of electrical power for the front side onto the power supply in the service part.

Installation of floor panels is designed in a way, where they are placed in two lines, so that there are for example 24 pieces. The floor panels are designed to have sealing strips. Each floor element is bolted on independently, with bolts inserted from below, and fixed onto the basic support structure.

The installation of side panels is intended as installation of side isolation panels, a total of 12 per side for example. The side crosspieces come with prepared installation holes. The panels are mounted with hidden contact of two bolts in the top and two in the bottom crosspiece.

For the installation of roof panels onto a steel structure panels are used that are self-carrying at a distance between the front side of the residential module and the service part. They are bolted onto the metal structure with two bolts in the front side of the residential module and two bolts in the service area.

Installation of the sub-construction of decorative layer of the facade is carried out on the internal front and rear side wall with profile elements, onto which the decorative layer is bolted in the following operation.

The installation of the decorative layer on the facade and facade finishes - drainage sheet metal, is the finishing - operative activity, carried out according to the following system and prescribed operations.

8. 1. Installation of finishing sheet metal, which is a part of the kit. Here, finishing sheet metal consists of:

- bottom finishing sheet metal on sides

- top finishing sheet metal on sides with a closer, finishing the end of side panels with roof ones

- rear collection gutter, which finishes the line of roof panels towards the service part

- front decorative sheet metal, which finishes the front line of the roof panels - front decorative sheet metal, which finishes the front line of the small terrace

- front finishing sheet metal on sides

- rear finishing sheet metal on sides

8.2. Installation of finishing elements of the font terrace and side, as well as roof wooden decorative elements.

8.3. Installation of finishing elements of the rear terrace and side, as well as ceiling decorative elements.

The installation of potential blinds, additional terraces, decorative lathes, pergolas, and other accessories is the final, ninth operation, carried out before cleaning and final handover to the user.

After the above short presentation of fundamental technical operations of the procedure of assembly of foldable, portable building, the construction of residential buildings, intended for longer stay or residence will now be described. Here, it should be noted that SI 20282 A that is concerned with modular construction of residential houses from individual complexes of the building, which are prefabricated on wooden basis, has no similarity to the methods of the present invention. According to the present invention the building is made of a service part and a functional part, whereby the service part is fully assembled in the workshop, while individual elements and components of the functional part, also assembled in the workshop, are assembled on location within a few hours.

For better understanding and the use of key terms in the text they will be explained in more detail in the following.

Detailed description of the above listed elements:

1. Service part or base part of the building. This is the fixed part of the building, assembled in the workshop, including all edges, seals, drains, and an electrical power grid. In the example, shown in the figures, and in the functional sense, this is the part of the building that includes sanitary and kitchen areas. 2. Side walls of the functional part of the building are manufactured at the production plant, including all edges, seals, drains, and electrical power grid, mounted on the location where the building will be erected. 3. Front glass wall with glass doors of the functional part of the building -that may be made with aluminium profiles of various designs, compliant with the requests of a user. Here, two types of sliding doors may be used, which are pre- manufactured at a production plant, which include higher quality sealing and closing construction for residential and commercial buildings and meet the demands of high thermal isolation and air-tightness. Sliding doors may be two-rail 140 mm or 170 mm, or three-rail 213 mm, with a maximum of six wings. Glass may be thermopane, in two or three layers

4. Roof of the functional part of the building, which may for example be made at the production plant with an outside layer of galvanized sheet metal in a thickness between 0.6 to 0.7 mm, with anti-corrosion protection, as well as from low profile panels with isolation filling. The roof is assembled in the form of a panel, made from two profiled steel sheets, galvanized on both sides, with fireproof mineral wool glued between them, and an alternative option of a polyurethane filling of choice with a thickness of 200 mm or more.

4. 1. Ceiling of the service part of the building, which consists of an external layer of plastic foils (Sika foil) and the inner one, made of galvanized steel sheet with a thickness of 0.6 to 0.7 mm, with isolation filling between them in the form of a panel, made from two profiled steel sheets, galvanized on both sides, with fireproof mineral wool glued between them, and an alternative option of a polyurethane filling of choice with a thickness of 150 mm or more.

5. The niche is equipped with windows or has a full glass surface of the side niches on the rear wall of the functional part of the building, made according to the same standards as the glass surfaces on the front wall of the functional part.

6. Regulation props for the functional part as known e.g. from SI 201500266, whereby it should be added, that these are supporting metal mechanisms, reinforced with a foot on concrete surface and a bolt for the levelling of the functional part of the building.

7. Straight connector of metal profiles, which is a profiled metal pipe with assembly drill holes intended for the attachment of two transverse pipes. This connector is used only to connect in the plain, following the same axis of the side top bar.

8. For a three point connection of two side bars and at least one longitudinal bar, a T connector may be used, which is a profiled metal pipe with assembly drill holes, intended for the attachment of two transverse pipes.

9. Binding connectors on metal frames are the connecting "masculine" part, bolted or welded onto horizontal bars on both ends, intended in every metal frame for the connection of the top and bottom horizontal bars, with bolting performed subsequently.

10. Lower transverse or longitudinal support metal profile, which is the central support metal profile, which connects the left and the right wall frame in the bottom side, while being connected to all bottom transverse connecting profiles, spaced out in a way, where they are present on the top side of the profile at the same time, as a connecting point for the bolting of ground protection sheet metal and floor panels. In the shown example, there is only one transverse support profile, but the number of these bars defines the surface of the functional part and a single additional bar extends the surface by 50% .

10.1 Bottom side connecting metal profile connects to the transverse support on one side, and to the metal frame of the rear or front wall of the functional part on the other. In the example illustrated in the figures, it forms a grid with 26 pieces, installed into the support bottom/floor construction.

10.2 Top side connecting metal profiles that are equal to the bottom ones in function, but also contain cable trays with at least two electrical distribution areas for cable connections. Its second characteristic is that it represents two times the length of the bottom transverse metal profile or it is connected with a straight connector, meaning that there are two versions of these bars.

1 1. Bottom metal frame of the front wall of the functional part of the building, wich is made at the workshop from at least two side metal profiles, among which at least two are vertical support profiles, but usually the number of vertical profiles is decided upon based on the selection of the number of sliding doors, single wing, double wing, or triple wing. 1 1. 1 The same also goes for the metal frame of the rear wall of the functional part of the building, but the number of vertical bars is decided based on the number of single wing doors for support areas with a consideration on the number of premade intermediate walls in the functional part, as well as the placement of vertical bars in regards to the required ensuring of the areas for the bolting of wall panels.

12. Top metal frame of the front wall of the functional part of the building, which is also made at the workshop from at least two side metal profiles, between which there are at least two vertical support profiles, but usually the number of the vertical profiles is defined by the number of the glass surfaces and aluminium frames, into which the thermopane glass is installed. Due to aesthetic suitability of the front glass wall of the functional part, the number of installed vertical bars usually equals that on the bottom frame. This gives the final symmetry and an aesthetically pleasing appearance of the entire front wall. The essential function of this frame is that it ensures the drop or the incline of the roof on the functional part.

13. Top aluminium frame with glass of the front wall of the functional part of the building, which is fully made at the production plant and installed into the front wall, after the glass wall with sliding doors is set up.

14. The electrical cables are only an extension, meant as an exit of cable ends, leading from the power distribution cabinet in the service part, wherein the entire electrical grid is set up. The means of connection and order of these tasks will be presented within the description of one of the installation operations in the continuation of the text.

15. Distribution area for electrical cables, which is actually a distribution point, wherein we connect the lines of phase leads in regards to the prescribed electrical scheme.

15.1. The cover of the distribution area, which is a plastic cover which is closed, once the electrical power enters the system and it has been discerned that there are no errors within the system. The cover is visible on the inner side of the wall and allows access to the circuit on the cable conduit at any time.

16. The support frame of the terrace is conceived as an exit atrium in front of the front glass wall of the functional part, partially covered by roof and, as such, forming a niche which is as wide as the width of the decorative panel on the inner side of the left and right wall of the functional part. In fact, the terrace is meant as a vestibule, which can be expanded for at least 1 +n elements or frames of the terrace.

17. Panels for side walls of the functional part of the building, which form a facade wrap, designed so that the basic steel structure is protected from external influences by panels with various thicknesses of isolation between them. The side crosspieces come with prepared installation holes. The panels are attached with hidden contact of two bolts on the bottom and two bolts on the top crosspiece. There is a total of 12 side panels, but they can be added in increments of at least 6 panels along one length of building extension.

18. Floor panels for the functional part of the building are installed in two rows, with a total of 24. They are designed with sealing strips. Each floor element is individually bolted into the fundamental support structure with bolts inserted from below.

18.1. The bottom protective sheet metal with lining, which is the bottom part of the building, a walk-on surface, formed by the external lining from galvanized sheet metal, isolation material with vapour permeable foil, steel support structure sheet metal, and appropriate concrete high pressure platform, on which any flooring may be placed. 19. The terrace panels can be made from various materials of various qualities. Panels made of modern composite materials may be used, which are resistant to sun and other weather influences.

20. The rear wall of the functional area was already partly described as the glass part, exposed on the left and right side of the service part, but adjusted to the needs and space arrangement of the building on the inside of the service part. According to the example illustrated in the figures, the wall includes double entrance doors for sanitary areas and a closure of a part of the wall to the barriers within the service part. Here, the walls limit the sanitary areas, while a kitchen is planned in the area between, open towards the functional part of the building, i.e. without doors.

The assembly of portable residential buildings according to the present invention may comprise any of nine serial, technologically rounded out operations described below. To support this description, the figures are provided that demonstrate individual operations and transitions from one into the other, while taking the order of assembly activities into consideration. Operation I

Phase 1

Mounting of the service part of the building is conditioned with the preparation and reinforcement of terrain on the area of building assembly. According to the example, an area of 2 x 10 meters is arranged through construction methods, with the surface being grave, buffer, or some other compact material. The top layer of the ground is levelled into an absolutely straight and level plane. It is also possible and permissible, of course, depending on the quality of the ground, to create point foundations, on which concrete bases are set, upon which, the service part 1 , shown on figure 1 , is placed, already containing the metal frame 1 1.1 of the rear wall of the functional part, with all the wall panels, doors, and both rear glass walls 5 of the functional part already attached to it in the production plant. Phase 2

Using a crane, the service part 1 of figure 1 is placed onto the prepared position and connection of infrastructure is carried out, should it be present in the service part. As shown in the example, plumbing, sewer, and electrical power connections need to be made. This operation is concluded with a precise levelling of the service part 1 of figure 1 and thus enabling the initiation of the next operation.

Operation II

Phase 3

Installation of the metal structure of the functional part of the building is carried out. Primarily and firstly, but with a required gap, the metal frame of the rear wall of the functional part 1 1. 1 of figure 2 is mounted onto the service part 1 with the lower side crossbars. When the bottom part of the rear wall 1 1.1 is attached with bolts, the top crossbars are also mounted. All parts are bolted between each other. When the basic structure of the metal frame 1 1. 1 is fixed, it is levelled with the regulation props 6 fig. 2. The rear glass 5 is pre-mounted onto the service part 1 fig. 1 and 2.

Phase 4 Continuation of the assembly of the metal structure of the functional part begins with the installation of the floor grid or ribs of steel profiles by first connecting the bottom transverse support metal profile 10 of Fig. 3, thus connecting it to the extreme bottom crossbars 10.2. Connection of the bottom transverse connection profile 10.2 of Fig. 4 is carried out by inserting a connector 9 illustrated in Fig. 2 at the contact point with the metal frame 1 1.1 of the rear wall of the functional part, while, on the other end, the transverse connecting metal frame 10.2 is inserted into the T connector of profiles 8 illustrated in Figs. 2, 3 and 4, where, with its foot, it connects to the bottom transverse supporting steel frame 10 of Figs. 2, 3, and 4. The straight part of the T connector 8 of Figs. 2, 3, and 4, is used for the insertion of the new bottom transverse support metal profile 10.2, which is further connected through the connector 9 to the bottom metal frame of the front wall of the functional part 1 1 of Figs. 2, 3, and 4. To reinforce the metal structure of the functional part, the top corners of both metal frames 10 and 10. 1 must be connected. This is done in the same way as the operation of the bottom connecting bar installation 10.2, except that the connection of the two top transverse metal profiles 10.1 is done with a straight connector 7 illustrated in Fig. 2. In this installation procedure, when the top metal profile 10.1 is attached onto the connector 9 of Figs. 2 and 3, first the power cable 14 of Figs. 2 and 3 must be pulled into the profile 10.1 , and lead through it to the distribution point for power cables 15 illustrated in Figs. 2 and 3. In the opposite end of the top metal profile 10.1 , onto the connector 9 of the metal frame 1 1 of the bottom wall of the functional part, the procedure of the insertion of the power cable 14 into the metal profile 10.1 must also be repeated.

Phase 5

Once the metal framework of the functional part has been set up on a particular number of regulation props 6, the procedure of installation bolting and levelling of the ground plane with the aid of unscrewing or screwing of the regulation props 6 is carried out.

Phase 6

The next assembly level is the installation of the front of the metal construction of the small terrace 16 illustrated in Figs. 3-7. The support frame of the terrace 16 is bolted onto the bottom transverse steel structure of the frame 1 1 and, if required, levelled and reinforced with the regulation props 6.

Phase 7 Raising of the front side of the functional part is first carried out with the top metal frame 12, which is bolted onto the top bar of the bottom metal frame 1 1 of the service part. Phase 8

Connection of the electrical grid/cable leads 14 of Figs. 2 and 3, of the front side onto the original supply of the service part is carried out at distribution points 15, which are actually plastic electric distributors, adjusted to the measurements and width of the top transverse profile 10.1. This phase may be carried out by an electrician who, before sealing the distribution area 15 with a lid 15.1 , carries out the measurement of all current phases and penetration towards mass or ground. When the measurements are carried out, the lid 15.1 of the distribution area is used to seal the distribution area 15. Operation III

Phase 9

Installation of the front glass wall of the functional part of the building includes: - front glass wall 3 fig. 8 with glass doors of the functional part, and

- top aluminium frame with glass 13,

which are installed by fully mounting the bottom glass wall onto the bottom metal frame 1 1 and mounting the Al frame with glass 13 of fig. 2 onto its top side.

Operation IV

Phase 10

Installation of floor panels for terrace 19 of Fig. 5 is carried out with bolting and adjusted to the wishes of a user. The example uses a panel, made of composite materials, which is dimensionally inserted into rectangular slots on the support frame of the terrace 16 of Fig.3.

Operation V

Phase 12

Installation of side panels 17 on the wall 2 of Figs. 6 and 7 represents the installation of side isolation panels 17 on the side wall 2, specifically onto the sides of the structure of the functional part. The side crossbars 10.1. and 10.2 of Fig.3 contain installation holes. Isolation panels 2 are installed by hidden contact with two bolts on the top and two bolts on the bottom crossbar. There are a total of 12 side panels 17 on the two walls 2.

Operation VI

Phase 13

Installation of roof panels 4 of Fig. 9 onto the metal structure is carried out. The panels 4 are self-carrying at a distance between the front side of the residential module and the service part. The panels are bolted onto the metal structure with two bolts on the from top frame 12 of the residential module and two bolts onto the metal frame 1 1.1 of Figs. 2, 3, and 4, which is bolted onto the service part 1.

Operation VII Phase 14

Installation of the sub-construction for the decorative layer on the facade, specifically in all niches or vestibules, is carried out with standard metal profiles, serving for the mounting of panels or plaster walls. The metal profiles are mounted horizontally on the visible internal part of side walls 2 of Fig. 9, with the decorative surface bolted onto them. The same procedure is also carried out on the niche of the rear part of the wall 2, formed by the first panel 17 of Fig. 8 of the side walls 2.

This decorative element and operation phase must be carried out since the front glass wall 3 of Fig. 9 of the functional part is completely shifted for the width of the decorative surface, mounted onto the sub-construction of the internal side of the side wall 2 and thus enabling a vestibule in the front and the rear of the functional building. In the same way, the rear wall of the functional part is shifted for the width of the decorative surface, mounted onto the sub-construction and, as such, forms two vestibules on both ends of the functional part, which are as long as the width of the first external surface 17 of Fig. 7 of the wall 2.

Operation VIII Phase 15

Installation of finishing sheet metal and decorative sheet metal, facade finishes, drainage sheet metal, which come with the kit and are cut in length, as well as adjusted to the location and purpose of the mounting is carried out. The mounting is carried out with special decorative bolts, the heads of which are covered with caps/hidden heads in the same colour as the wall panels 17 fig. 7.

In this phase, the finished sheet metal is mounted, consisting of:

- bottom finishing sheet metal on flank sides

- top finishing sheet metal on flank sides with a finishing piece that completes the connection of side panels with roof ones

- rear drainage gutter which finishes the line of roof panels towards the service part

- front decorative sheet metal which finishes the front of the roof panels

- front decorative sheet metal, which finishes the front of the small terrace

- front finishing sheet metal on flank sides
