Problems solved by technology

The transport of the panels is fairly simple, but the assembly on site involves a very large amount of work
In other solutions, entire buildings are prefabricated and transported, often with some difficulty
Another option is to construct the building from several prefabricated three-dimensional modules and assemble the modules on site, but in such cases transport and assembly are often time consuming and expensive

Embodiment Construction

[0085] figure 1 A typical module according to the invention is shown. Module 10 is cuboid in shape with opposite end faces 11 (in figure 1 only one of which is visible), the opposite side 12 (in figure 1 only one of which is visible), the top surface 13 and the bottom surface 14. exist figure 1 In the case of the example shown in , the module has on its side an opening 15 extending from an area at the bottom of the side to an area at the top of the side, and an opening 15 extending upwards at its end face from the area of ​​the upper half of the end face Mouth 16. The plates 15A and 16A are provided to close the openings 15 and 16 respectively before final installation of the module. The opening 15 is of sufficient height to allow unobstructed passage of people, and the opening 16 is of suitable size and location to provide windows. Similar exposures are offered at figure 1 Other sides and ends not visible in .

[0086] The module 10 has a steel monocoque structure for...

Abstract

A building module has an exterior shape generally of a cuboid having side, end, top and bottom faces, and fabricated from metal, the module being hollow and defining a space of a size suitable for occupation by a person. The module includes fastening elements (21, 69) to allow the module to be fastened to another adjacent module and to allow for engagement by standard load handling equipment for handling freight containers. The module has an overall exterior width greater than 2700 mm and includes a first set of fastening elements (21, 69A, 69B, 69C, 69D) in the region of a first end of the top of the module and a second end of the top of the module. The fastening elements of each set include two fastening elements (e.g. 21 and 69C) spaced apart from one another at a centre-to-centre spacing (D) of about (2260) mm.

Description

field of invention [0001] The present invention relates to a building module, a building constructed from such a module and the structure of a building using such a module. technical background [0002] There have been many previous proposals for constructing buildings from prefabricated units. In some solutions, panels are prefabricated and transported to the site for assembly into buildings. The transport of the panels is fairly simple, but the assembly on site involves a very large amount of work. In other solutions, entire buildings are prefabricated and transported, often with difficulties. Another option is to construct the building from several prefabricated three-dimensional modules and assemble the modules on site, but in such cases transport and assembly are often time consuming and expensive. In an attempt to solve this problem there have been proposals to use conventional cargo containers as building modules. For example, US Pat...
