Benefits of technology

[0004] With the intention of solving the aforesaid problem, the present invention provides a telescopically expandable container-like housing construction to which access is fully possible in the retracted state of the housing. When expanding such a housing structure, it is highly beneficial when assistance can be obtained from inside the housing structure such as to increase the speed of expansion.

Problems solved by technology

This blocked state constitutes a problem in certain instances, since access to the central main part is not possible in the collapsed or retracted state of the housing structure.

Embodiment Construction

[0019]FIG. 1 illustrates a compacted expandable housing structure 1 ready for trailer transportation to an appropriate location. The main module of the housing structure includes an outer roof 3, an end wall 5 in which a door 7 is mounted, and a similar end wall on the opposite side of the door. The main module also includes a floor 8 in which holes 9 are provided for the application of lifting devices. The figure also shows a raised floor part 11 of the first expansion module of the housing structure, which in the shown position is inserted into the main module.

[0020]FIG. 2 shows an intermediate position of the housing structure expansion, which in the case of this embodiment comprises a main module and two expansion modules. In this illustration, the first floor part 11 has been moved down from the compacted position shown in FIG. 1, about a horizontal axle 12 at floor level to form a floor structure in a first expansion module E1, whereafter a first wall part 13 together with a ...

Abstract

The present invention relates to an expandable container-like housing structure (1) that includes a main module provided with a door (7), and which further includes at least one expansion module (E1) that includes a number of structural segments, such as a roof part (21) firmly connected to a first wall part (13), a floor part (11), and two second wall parts (33), wherein when the housing structure is expanded, The floor part (11) will swing out about a horizontal axle (12) at floor level, whereafter the first wall part (13) together with roof part (21) are intended to be projected out telescopically from the main module, wherein at least one second wall part (33) is mounted on a vertical axle (35) about which said second wall part (33) is adapted to swing out the roof part (21) and the first wall part (13) such as to form an additional wall to the expansion module (E1).

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to an expandable container-like housing which can be transported, for instance, to a suitable temporary erection site on a trailer. Such container-like housings can be used as mobile personnel carriages, toilets or service carriages. The present invention relates in particular to such container-like housings that can be expanded or extended telescopically so as to approximately double the volume of the container or even more. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] SE 447 143 (E04B 1 / 343) teaches a trailer-transported container-like telescopically retractable house construction that comprises a central main part from which there extend two telescopically extendable side parts which each include a ceiling structure and three side walls located on a respective side of the central main part, where in the compressed state of the container a first side part is intended to surround the central main part while the open side of the second side...
