However, the scope of the present invention is not limited to the embodiments disclosed below. Because the drawings are provided for illustrative purposes only, the scope of the present invention is not limited to the examples in the drawings.

[0033] First Embodiment FIG. 1 is a side view of the accommodation. As shown in Figure 1, the residential facility 1 is a parked trailer house. In the following description, "right" and "right side" are not defined as viewed from the front of the trailer house, but as viewed from the driver's seat of the towing vehicle that is towing the trailer house. In other words, "left" and "right side" are defined as viewed in the forward direction of the trailer house. The left-right direction is the vehicle width direction, the front-rear direction is the vehicle length direction, and the up-down direction is the vehicle height direction.

[0034] This trailer house is a towable vehicle that does not have a propulsion power source such as an internal combustion engine or motor. The trailer house can individually pass Japanese vehicle inspections. That is, the trailer house can be registered under the Automobile Inspection and Registration System, pass inspections conducted by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism of Japan, and receive permission for continuous use on public roads for a certain period of time.

[0036] The chassis 2 is also called a bogie. The chassis 2 has a base 3 and left and right wheels 4. The left and right wheels 4 are attached to the left and right sides of the base 3, respectively, and the base 3 is supported above the installation surface 99 by the wheels 4. The base 3 is supported above the installation surface 99 by a support structure such as a support base 5. The support structure can be easily removed from the chassis 2 without tools. The wheels 4 may be prevented from rolling by a wheel stopper. The chassis 2 has a coupler attached to the front end of the base 3, and the chassis 102L can be connected to a towing vehicle by the coupler.

[0037] The first house 10 is installed on the base 3 of the chassis 2 and is located near the front end of the base 3. The second house 20 is installed on the base 3 and is located near the rear end of the base 3. The deck 30 is installed on the base 3 and is located between the first house 10 and the second house 20. A staircase may be provided from the installation surface 99 to the left or right end of the deck 30. A handrail may be erected on the left or right end of the deck 30. A table may be placed or installed on the deck 30. A bench may be placed or installed on the deck 30.

[0038] The first and second houses 10, 20 may have a wall structure, a frame structure, or both. The first and second houses 10, 20 may be wooden houses or light steel frame houses. The first and second houses 10, 20 may be assembled using a panel construction method, a frame construction method, a frame panel construction method, a frame wall construction method, or a combination of two or more of these. The first house 10 and the second house 20 may be assembled using the same construction method or different construction methods. In one example, the first and second houses 10, 20 are wooden houses with a wall structure assembled using a wood panel adhesive construction method. In another example, the first and second houses 10, 20 are light steel frame houses with a frame structure assembled using a prefabricated construction method.

[0039] The first house 10 has a living space inside. The first house 10 has a floor on its bottom surface, a rear exterior wall 11 on its rear surface, a right side exterior wall on its right side, a front exterior wall 13 on its front surface, a left side exterior wall 14 on its left side, and a roof 15 on its top surface. The floor is laid on a frame 3. In one example, if the first house 10 is a wooden house assembled using a wood panel adhesive construction method, the floor, rear exterior wall 11, right side exterior wall, front exterior wall 13, and roof 15 are made of architectural wood panels. A architectural wood panel has a rectangular frame formed by assembling four wooden frames into a rectangular frame shape and wooden face panels attached to one or both sides of the rectangular frame. The architectural wood panel may also have one or more wooden crosspieces attached to the rectangular frame inside. The construction wood panel may have a heat insulating material such as glass wool, rock wool, or foam resin filled inside the rectangular frame. The lower end of the rear exterior wall 11 is joined to the rear end of the floor, and the rear exterior wall 11 stands on the rear end of the floor. The right side exterior wall is joined to the right end of the floor, and the right side exterior wall stands on the right end of the floor. The lower end of the front exterior wall 13 is joined to the front end of the floor, and the front exterior wall 13 stands on the front end of the floor. The left side exterior wall 14 is joined to the left end of the floor, and the left side exterior wall 14 stands on the left end of the floor.

[0040] The rear exterior wall 11 has an opening and a door 16, such as a hinged door, a sliding door, or a double sliding door, installed in the opening. The top of the deck 30 can be accessed from inside the first house 10 through the door 16. Note that a fixture other than a door, for example a sliding window, may be installed in the opening of the rear exterior wall 11 instead of the door 16.

[0041] The second house 20 has a living space inside. The second house 20 has a floor on its bottom surface, a rear exterior wall 21 on its rear surface, a right side exterior wall on its right side, a front exterior wall 23 on its front surface, a left side exterior wall 24 on its left side, and a roof 25 on its top surface. The floor is laid on a frame 3. The lower end of the rear exterior wall 21 is joined to the rear end of the floor, and the rear exterior wall 21 is erected at the rear end of the floor. The right side exterior wall is joined to the right end of the floor, and the right side exterior wall is erected at the right end of the floor. The lower end of the front exterior wall 23 is joined to the front end of the floor, and the front exterior wall 23 is erected at the front end of the floor. The left side exterior wall 24 is joined to the left end of the floor, and the left side exterior wall 24 is erected at the right end of the floor.

[0042] The front exterior wall 23 has an opening, and a door 26, such as a hinged door, a sliding door, or a double sliding door, installed in the opening. The top of the deck 30 can be accessed from inside the second house 20 through the door 26. Note that a type of fixture other than a door, such as a sliding window, may be installed in the opening of the front exterior wall 23 instead of the door 26.

[0043] The roofs 15, 25 of the houses 10, 20 are shed roofs that slope downward to the right or left. The roofs 15, 25 may not be shed roofs, but may be flat roofs or gable roofs. If the roofs 15, 25 are gable roofs, the ridges of the roofs 15, 25 extend forward and backward or left and right. The eaves and overhangs of the roofs 15, 25 are very short.

[0044] The tarp 40 is stretched over the deck 30 between the rear of the first house 10 and the front of the second house 20. The tarp 40 is a waterproof membrane material, so it prevents water from passing through. The tarp 40 is water-repellent. In one example, the water-repellent properties of the tarp 40 are achieved by applying a silicone-based or fluorine-based water-repellent agent to the tarp 40. In another example, the water-repellent properties of the tarp 40 are achieved by providing the surface of the tarp 40 with fine irregularities.

[0045] Figure 2 is a vertical cross-sectional view of region II shown in Figure 1. Figure 3 is an enlarged view of region III shown in Figure 2. Figure 4 is a view seen in the direction of arrow IV shown in Figure 3. The installation of the tarp 40 will be described in detail with reference to Figures 2, 3 and 4.

[0046] The tarp 40 has a main membrane 49, connecting membranes 41 and 42, and waterproof zippers 43 and 44. The front end of the main membrane 49 is connected to the end of the strip-shaped connecting membrane 41 by the waterproof zipper 43. The waterproof zipper 43 is a waterproof linear zipper. The waterproof zipper 43 has a first row of teeth provided at the front end of the main membrane 49 along the front end of the main membrane 49, a second row of teeth provided at the end of the connecting membrane 41 along the edge of the connecting membrane 41, and a first slider that is movable along the first and second rows of teeth and engages and disengages the first and second rows of teeth. The connecting membrane 41 is fixed to the top end of the rear surface of the first house 10, specifically to the rear gable of the roof 15. The rear gable refers to the rear-facing surface of the rear eaves of the roof 15. The rear gable is part of the rear face of the first house 10, and the outdoor surface of the rear exterior wall 11 occupies most of the rear face of the first house 10.

[0047] The rear end of the main membrane 49 is connected to the end of the strip-shaped connecting membrane 42 by a waterproof zipper 44. The waterproof zipper 44 is a waterproof linear zipper. The waterproof zipper 44 has a third row of teeth provided at the rear end of the main membrane 49 along the rear end of the main membrane 49, a fourth row of teeth provided at the end of the connecting membrane 41 along the edge of the connecting membrane 41, and a second slider that is movable along the third and fourth rows of teeth and engages and disengages the third and fourth rows of teeth. The connecting membrane 42 is fixed to the upper end of the front of the second house 20, specifically to the front gable of the roof 25. The front gable refers to the front-facing surface of the front eaves of the roof 25. The front gable is part of the rear of the second house 20, and the outdoor surface of the front exterior wall 23 accounts for most of the rear of the second house 20.

[0048] The main membrane 49 and the connecting membranes 41, 42 are stretched from the upper end of the rear surface of the first house 10 to the upper end of the rear surface of the second house 20. The main membrane 49 and the connecting membranes 41, 42 are slightly sagging due to their own weight.

[0049] The connecting membrane 41 is fixed to the upper end of the rear surface of the first house 10 by being clamped by a first clamping tool 60 located above the door 16. The first clamping tool 60 is attached to the upper end of the rear surface of the first house 10. Specifically, a recess 15f is formed in the rear gable of the roof 15 so as to extend along the upper surface of the roof 15, and the first clamping tool 60 is fitted into the recess 15f and fixed to the eaves of the roof 15. The recess 15f will be described with reference to Figure 3.

[0050] As shown in FIG. 3, the rafters 15a at the rear end of the roof 15 are installed on the wall body 11a of the rear exterior wall 11, and the gable board 15b is attached to the rear surface of the rafters 15a. The gable board 15b is also attached to the upper end of the rear surface of the wall body 11a. The exterior material 11b of the rear exterior wall 11 is attached to the wall body 11a with a furring strip sandwiched between it and the rear surface of the wall body 11a. The exterior material 11b has an end cover 11c at its upper end. The lower part of the gable board 15b is also sandwiched between the upper end of the rear surface of the wall body 11a and the upper end of the exterior material 11b. The roof material 15c of the roof 15 covers the roof body 15d and the rafters 15a of the roof 15. The roof material 15c protrudes rearward from the gable board 15b. By separating the protruding portion from the upper edge of the exterior material 11b, a recess 15f is formed at the upper end of the rear surface of the first house 10, i.e., the rear gable of the roof 15. The rear eaves cover 15e of the roof 15 covers the upper surface of the rear eaves of the roof 15 (the upper surface of the roof material 15c) and hangs down from the rear edge of the roof material 15c. The hanging part partially covers the recess 15f from behind the recess 15f.

[0051] The first clamping tool 60 is fitted into the recess 15f, and the portion of the roof material 15c that protrudes rearward from the gable board 15b is covered by the first clamping tool 60 from above. Therefore, the first clamping tool 60 does not protrude rearward from the rear end of the roof material 15c.

[0052] It is fixed to the eaves of the roof 15. The first clamping tool 60 has a support material 61, a bearing plate 68, sealing materials 69 and 70, and a plurality of fasteners 71.

[0053] The support member 61 is made of a channel material formed in a groove (C-shape). Specifically, the support member 61 has a web 62, an upper flange 63, a lower flange 64, an upper strip 65, a lower strip 66, a groove 67, and an end plate. The web 62, the upper flange 63, the lower flange 64, the upper strip 65, and the lower strip 66 are formed in a strip shape. The upper flange 63 is bent perpendicularly from the upper edge of the web 62, and the lower flange 64 is bent perpendicularly from the lower edge of the web 62. The upper flange 63 and the lower flange 64 are arranged parallel to each other. A groove 67 is defined by the web 62, the upper flange 63, and the lower flange 64, and the groove 67 is open on the opposite side of the web 62. The upper strip 65 is bent upward from the edge of the upper flange 63 perpendicular to the upper flange 63, and the lower strip 66 is bent downward from the edge of the lower flange 64 perpendicular to the lower flange 64, with the opening of the groove 67 being between the upper strip 65 and the lower strip 66. End plates are provided at the longitudinal ends of the web 62, the upper flange 63 and the lower flange 64, and the longitudinal ends of the groove 67 are closed by the end plates.

[0054] The opening of the groove 67 faces the gable board 15b, and the support member 61 is fitted into the recess 15f, with the web 62 exposed to the rear within the recess 15f. The upper and lower strips 65 and 66 are in surface contact with the gable board 15b. The upper and lower strips 65 and 66 are fixed to the gable board 15b with screws or adhesive. A filler 74 is filled into the recess 15f around the support member 61. The filler 74 is a dry or wet joint such as a resin, rubber, or mortar material. The web 62, upper and lower strips 65, and lower strips 66 are parallel to the rear surface of the first house 10, the surface of the rear exterior wall 11, and the gable. A sealant 69 is attached to the support member 61, particularly the web 62.

[0055] The support plate 68 is provided in the form of a strip parallel to the web 62. The support plate 68 is parallel to the rear surface of the first house 10, i.e., the gable. A sealant 70 is affixed to the support plate 68. The support plate 68 is overlaid on the web 62, and the connecting film 41 is sandwiched between the support member 61 and the support plate 68. Specifically, the connecting film 41 is sandwiched between the sealant 69 and the sealant 70. The sealants 69, 70 are made of foamed resin or rubber, or are a laminate of foamed resin and rubber.

[0056] A plurality of fasteners 71 fasten the sealant 70 and the support plate 68 to the sealant 69 and the receiving member 61. The fasteners 71 are bolt-nut fasteners having nuts 72 and bolts 73. The nuts 72 are received in the grooves 67, and the bolts 73 pass through the support plate 68, the sealants 69 and 70, and the web 62 and are screwed onto the nuts 72. The support plate 68, the sealants 69 and 70, and the web 62 have holes formed therein through which the nuts 72 pass.

[0057] The portion of the connecting film 41 sandwiched between the sealing materials 69, 70 corresponds to the front end of the tarp 40. The connecting film 41 sandwiched between the sealing materials 69, 70 protrudes downward from between these sealing materials 69, 70, and the end of the connecting film 41 is connected to the front end of the main film 49 by the waterproof zipper 43. When the first slider of the waterproof zipper 43 is moved along the first and second rows of teeth, the first slider releases the engagement between the first and second rows of teeth, thereby opening the waterproof zipper 43. This separates the front end of the main film 49 from the end of the connecting film 41, causing the connecting film 41 to hang down from the first clip 60.

[0058] As shown in FIG. 2, the connecting membrane 42 is fixed to the upper end of the rear surface of the second house 20 by being clamped by the second clamp 80 located above the door 26. The portion of the connecting membrane 42 clamped by the second clamp 80 corresponds to the rear end of the tarp 40. The second clamp 80 is attached to the upper end of the rear surface of the second house 20, particularly to the front gable of the roof 25, in the same way that the first clamp 60 is attached to the upper end of the rear surface of the first house 10. The second clamp 80 is similar to the first clamp 60. The second clamp 80 has a support member, a support plate, two sealants, and a plurality of fasteners.

[0059] The connecting film 42 held by the second clamping tool 80 protrudes downward from the second clamping tool 80, and the end of the connecting film 42 is connected to the rear end of the main film 49 by the waterproof zipper 44. When the second slider of the waterproof zipper 44 is moved along the third and fourth rows of teeth, the second slider releases the engagement between the third and fourth rows of teeth, thereby opening the waterproof zipper 44. Then, the rear end of the main film 49 is separated from the end of the connecting film 42, and the connecting film 42 hangs down from the second clamping tool 80.

[0060] <<Summary of the First Embodiment>> (1) The first clamping tool 60 is attached to the rear surface of the first house 10, and the tarp 40 is clamped by the first clamping tool 60, so that there is no gap between the rear surface of the first house 10 and the tarp 40, and the tarp 40 is fixed to the rear surface of the first house 10. The absence of a gap between the rear surface of the first house 10 and the tarp 40 prevents sunlight from shining in and rainwater from passing through underneath the tarp 40. Similarly, there is no gap between the front surface of the second house 20 and the tarp 40, and the tarp 40 is fixed to the front surface of the second house 20, which prevents sunlight from shining in and rainwater from passing through underneath the tarp 40.

[0061] (2) Because the support plate 68 is placed on the support material 61 and is parallel to the rear surface of the first house 10, the portion of the tarp 40 sandwiched between the support material 61 and the support plate 68 is close to the wall surface and parallel to the wall surface. Therefore, there is no gap between the rear surface of the first house 10 and the tarp 40, and the tarp 40 is fixed to the outdoor wall surface of the first house 10. The lack of a gap between the rear surface of the first house 10 and the tarp 40 prevents sunlight from shining in and rainwater from passing through underneath the tarp 40.

[0062] (3) The bolts 73 pass through the support plate 68, the tarp 40, and the support member 61 and are fastened to the nuts 72, thereby tightening the support plate 68 to the support member 61 and firmly fixing the tarp 40.

[0063] (4) Filling the recess 15f around the receiving member 61 with the filler material 74 contributes to preventing rainwater from entering the recess 15f and the outer wall of the first house 10.

[0064] (5) The roof material 15c extends from the rear surface of the first house 10 and the extending portion covers the first clamping tool 60 from above, which helps to shield the first clamping tool 60 from rain.

[0065] (6) The tarp 40 is sandwiched between the first sealing material 69 and the second sealing material 70, which allows the first clamping tool 60 to firmly clamp the tarp 40.

[0066] (7) The waterproof zipper 43 prevents rainwater from passing between the ends of the main membrane 49 and the connecting membrane 41. In other words, the waterproof zipper 43 contributes to preventing rainwater from passing under the tarp 40.

[0067] (8) When the waterproof zipper 43 is opened, the main membrane 49 is separated from the connecting membrane 41. This allows the separated main membrane 49 to be stored.

[0068] (9) When the main membrane 49 is separated from the connecting membrane 41, the connecting membrane 41 hangs down due to its own weight. Since the connecting membrane 41 follows the rear surface of the first house 10, the connecting membrane 41 does not get in the way.

[0069] (10) Rain and sun protection for the area immediately outside the door 16 is provided by the tarp 40.

[0070] (11) A tarp 40 is set up between the first house 10 and the second house 20. The tarp 40 provides shade and rain protection between the first house 10 and the second house 20.

[0071] (12) Sun and rain protection on the deck 30 is provided by the tarp 40.

[0072] (13) The energy used from the production to the disposal and disposal of wood is less than the energy used from the production to the disposal and disposal of metal or concrete materials. Therefore, if House 20, 120 is a wooden house, a trailer house with House 10, 20 will contribute to the realization of a decarbonized society by promoting carbon neutrality, which reduces carbon dioxide emissions to virtually zero, and to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
