Abstract

A modular pod assembly capable of being readily assembled and disassembled for transportation includes a plurality of modular panels and a plurality of connectors. Each said modular panel includes a rigid and substantially planar structure delimited along one or more edges by respective coupling portions, each coupling portion formed to define a plurality of preconfigured access points for receiving respective connectors. Multiple connectors are provided to securely fasten a coupling portion of a given modular panel to a coupling portion of another adjacent modular panel at a selected access point. The plurality of modular panels may be provided in an assembled state to include at least one top panel, bottom panel, and a plurality of respective side walls, all securely fastened together at respective coupling portions with the plurality of connectors to form an integrated enclosure.

Description

PRIORITY CLAIM[0001]This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61 / 189,465 filed Aug. 20, 2008, entitled “EXPEDITIONARY POD CONSTRUCTION” and having the same inventors as present, which is incorporated herein by reference for all purposes.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present subject matter generally relates to modular pod assemblies, and more particularly to transportable and easily configured high security building assemblies of modular panels.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Portable buildings are useful in a variety of potential environments, including but not limited to storage facilities, temporary housing, and the like. Most such structures are configured for a single occurrence of assembly and / or placement, at which point the structure remains intact or in its assembled location. The true transportability of such a structure is limited when it is not easily disassembled or movable after initial assembly. As such, a need exists for constru...
