[0006] The problem that this invention aims to solve is to provide protection for a wide area next to a shed from sunlight and rain, as well as to provide protection for that area next to the shed from wind, rain and shading from the side. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] The reference numerals in parentheses below are referenced in Figures 1 through 18.

[0008] To solve the above problems, according to claim 1, the residential equipment is, A first shed (10L) having a first exterior wall (12L) and a first joinery (16L) provided on the first exterior wall (12L), A second shed (10R) having a second exterior wall (14R) facing the first exterior wall (12L), and a second joinery (16R) provided on the second exterior wall (14R) and facing the first joinery (16L), The structure includes a canvas cover (40) that spans between the first outer wall (12L) and the second outer wall (14R), The canopy (40) can be reversibly transformed from a sunshade form that is stretched out over the first door (16L) and the second door (16R) to an outer canopy form that encloses the space between the first door (16L) and the second door (16R) from above and on both sides.

[0009] According to claim 1 as described above, the canopy (40) is stretched between the first outer wall (12L) of the first hut (10L) and the second outer wall (14R) of the second hut (10R), and in the sunshade configuration, the canopy (40) is stretched over the first fittings (16L) and second fittings (16R) provided on the first outer wall (12L) and the second outer wall (14R), respectively, so that the area between the first hut (10L) and the second hut (10R) is protected from sunlight and rain over a wide area by the canopy (40). In the outer sail configuration, the canopy (40) surrounds the space between the first fittings (16L) and the second fittings (16R) from above and on both sides, so that the area between the first hut (10L) and the second hut (10R) is protected from wind, rain and shading from the sides by the canopy (40). Since the canvas top (40) can be in both a sunshade form and an outer canvas form, the canvas top (40) has a wide range of uses.

[0010] According to the invention of claim 2, the residential equipment is A first upper clamping device (50L) is attached to the first outer wall (12L) along the upper end of the first joinery (16L), A pair of first horizontal clamps (60L and 70L) extend horizontally from both ends of the first upper clamp (50L) and are attached to the first outer wall (12L), A pair of first vertical clamps (80L and 90L) are attached to the first outer wall (12L), extending downward from each end of the first upper clamp (50L) along each side of the first joinery (16L), A second upper clamping device (50R) is attached to the second outer wall (14R) along the upper end of the second joinery (16R), A pair of second lateral clamps (60R and 70R) extend horizontally from both ends of the second upper clamp (50R) and are attached to the second outer wall (14R), A pair of second vertical clamps (80R and 90R) are attached to the second outer wall (14R), extending downward from each end of the second upper clamp (50R) along each side of the second joinery (16R), Furthermore, The canvas top (40) is clamped by the first upper clamp (50L), the first side clamps (60L and 70L), the second upper clamp (50R), and the second side clamps (60R and 70R), and is stretched between the first upper clamp (50L) and the first side clamps (60L and 70L) and the second upper clamp (50R) and the second side clamps (60R and 70R), The canvas top (40) can be reversibly switched between the first horizontal clamps (60L and 70L) and the first vertical clamps (80L and 90L), and the canvas top (40) can be reversibly switched between the second horizontal clamps (60R and 70R) and the second vertical clamps (80R and 90R).

[0011] According to claim 2 as described above, the first upper clamp (50L) and the first side clamps (60L and 70L) are attached to the first outer wall (12L) of the first shed (10L), and the canopy (40) is clamped by the first upper clamp (50L) and the first side clamps (60L and 70L), so there is no gap between the first outer wall (12L) and the canopy (40), and the canopy (40) is fixed to the first outer wall (12L). The absence of a gap between the first outer wall (12L) of the first shed (10L) and the canopy (40) prevents sunlight from entering underneath the canopy (40) and prevents rainwater from passing through. The second upper clamp (50R) and the second side clamps (60R and 70R) are attached to the second outer wall (14R) of the second shed (10R), and the canopy (40) is clamped by the second upper clamp (50R) and the second side clamps (60R and 70R), so there is no gap between the second outer wall (14R) and the canopy (40), and the canopy (40) is fixed to the second outer wall (14R). The absence of a gap between the second outer wall (14R) of the second shed (10R) and the canopy (40) prevents sunlight from entering underneath the canopy (40) and prevents rainwater from passing through. When the canopy (40) is stretched between the first upper clamp (50L) and the first side clamps (60L and 70L) and the second upper clamp (50R) and the second side clamps (60R and 70R), the canopy (40) takes on the form of a sunshade. When the canvas cover (40) is switched from the first horizontal clamps (60L and 70L) to the first vertical clamps (80L and 90L), and when the canvas cover (40) is switched from the second horizontal clamps (60R and 70R) to the second vertical clamps (80R and 90R), the canvas cover (40) takes on an outer canvas form. Even in the outer canvas form, there is no gap between the first outer wall (12L) and the canvas cover (40), and there is no gap between the second outer wall (14R) and the canvas cover (40). This prevents sunlight from entering the inside of the canvas cover (40) and prevents rainwater from passing through. Since the canvas top (40) can be in both a sunshade form and an outer canvas form, the canvas top (40) has a wide range of uses.

[0012] According to the invention of claim 3, the canopy (40) is Seat (49), The first connecting sheet (41L) is sandwiched between the first upper clamp (50L) and the first side clamp (60L and 70L), and extends beyond the first upper clamp (50L) and the first side clamp (60L and 70L), A first set of teeth (43L) is provided along the end of the first connecting sheet (41L), A second set of teeth (44L) is provided along the edge of the sheet (49) and engages with the first set of teeth (43L), The second connecting sheet (41R) is sandwiched between the second upper clamping device (50R) and the second lateral clamping devices (60R and 70R), and extends beyond the second upper clamping device (50R) and the second lateral clamping devices (60R and 70R), A third set of teeth (43R) is provided along the end of the second connecting sheet (41R), A fourth set of teeth (44R) is provided along the edge of the sheet (49) and engages with the third set of teeth (43R), It has, The first connecting sheet (41L) can be reversibly switched between the first horizontal clamps (60L and 70L) and the first vertical clamps (80L and 90L), and the second connecting sheet (41R) can be reversibly switched between the second horizontal clamps (60R and 70R) and the second vertical clamps (80R and 90R).

[0013] According to claim 3 as described above, when the first connecting sheet (41L) is sandwiched by the first upper clamp (50L) and the first lateral clamp (60L and 70L), and the second connecting sheet (41R) is sandwiched by the second upper clamp (50R) and the second lateral clamp (60R and 70R), and the first gear row (43L) and the second gear row (44L) interlock, and the third gear row (43R) and the fourth gear row (44R) interlock, the canopy (40) takes on a sunshade form. When the first connecting sheet (41L) is replaced with the first horizontal clamps (60L and 70L) and the first vertical clamps (80L and 90L), and the second connecting sheet (41R) is replaced with the second horizontal clamps (60R and 70R) and the second vertical clamps (80R and 90R), the tarpaulin (40) takes on an outer tarpaulin configuration. Since the tarpaulin (40) can take on both a sunshade configuration and an outer tarpaulin configuration, the tarpaulin (40) has a wide range of applications. When the engagement between the first set of teeth (43L) and the second set of teeth (44L) is released, the sheet (49) is separated from the first connecting sheet (41L), and the first connecting sheet (41L) hangs down due to its own weight. Since the first connecting sheet (41L) lies along the first outer wall (12L) of the first shed (10L), the first connecting sheet (41L) does not get in the way. When the engagement between the third tooth row (43R) and the fourth tooth row (44R) is released, the sheet (49) is separated from the second connecting sheet (41R), and the second connecting sheet (41R) hangs down due to its own weight. Since the second connecting sheet (41R) lies along the second outer wall (14R) of the second shed (10R), the second connecting sheet (41R) does not get in the way. When the sheet (49) is detached from both the first connecting sheet (41L) and the second connecting sheet (41R), the sheet (49) can be stored.

[0014] According to the invention according to claim 4, the first working tooth row (43L) is reversibly meshed and switched from the second working tooth row (44L) to the third working tooth row (43R).

[0030] Embodiments will be described below with reference to the drawings. The features and technical effects of the embodiments will be understood from the following detailed description and drawings. However, the scope of the present invention is not limited to the embodiments disclosed below. The scope of the present invention is not limited to the examples in the drawings, as the drawings are provided for illustrative purposes only.

[0031] <1. Overview of living facilities and trailer homes> Figures 1 and 2 are perspective views showing examples of the use of the residential equipment. Figures 1 and 2 are drawn using perspective projection. Figures 3 and 4 are rear views of the residential equipment. Figures 5 and 7 are right side views of the first trailer house 1L of the residential equipment. Figures 6 and 8 are left side views of the second trailer house 1R of the residential equipment. The residential equipment can be reversibly transformed from the first configuration shown in Figures 1, 3, 5, and 6 to the second configuration shown in Figures 2, 4, 7, and 8.

[0032] The living facilities consist of a first trailer house 1L on the left and a second trailer house 1R on the right. Trailer houses 1L and 1R are also called mobile houses, mobile homes, or mobile homes. The living facilities also consist of a deck 30 positioned between the first trailer house 1L and the second trailer house 1R. Alternatively, instead of the deck 30, the living facilities may consist of a connecting corridor 300 positioned between the first trailer house 1L and the second trailer house 1R.

[0033] Trailer House 1L, 1R are towed vehicles that do not have a driving power source such as an internal combustion engine or motor. Trailer House 1L, 1R can individually pass Japanese vehicle inspections. In other words, Trailer House 1L, 1R can be registered under the Automobile Inspection and Registration System, can pass inspections conducted by the Japanese Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, and can be permitted to use on public roads for a certain period of time. Trailer House 1L, 1R comply with the size and weight restrictions stipulated by the Building Standards Act or the Road Transport Vehicle Act. For example, the width of Trailer House 1L, 1R is within 2.5m, the length is within 12m, and the height is within 3.8m. With special permission, the size or weight of Trailer House 1L, 1R may exceed the limits stipulated in the Road Transport Vehicle Safety Standards.

[0034] Two trailer homes, 1L and 1R, are parked side-by-side, adjacent to each other in the vehicle width direction. The first trailer home, 1L, is positioned to the left of the second trailer home, 1R. Here, "left" and "right" are not determined by viewing the trailer homes 1L and 1R from the front, but rather by viewing them from the driver's seat of the towing vehicle. In other words, "left" and "right" are determined by viewing the trailer homes 1L and 1R in the forward direction. The left-right direction corresponds to the vehicle width, the front-rear direction corresponds to the vehicle length, and the up-down direction corresponds to the vehicle height.

[0035] The first trailer house 1L is equipped with a chassis 2L, a shed 10L, and clamps 50L, 60L, 70L, 80L, and 90L. The second trailer house 1R is equipped with a chassis 2R, a shed 10R, and clamps 50L, 60L, 70L, 80L, and 90L. Hereafter, the shed 10L of the first trailer house 1L will also be referred to as the first shed 10L, the shed 10R of the second trailer house 1R will also be referred to as the second shed 10R, the chassis 2L of the first trailer house 1L will also be referred to as the first chassis 2L, and the chassis 2R of the second trailer house 1R will also be referred to as the second chassis 2R. Clamp 50L will also be referred to as the first upper clamp 50L, clamps 60L and 70L will also be referred to as the first horizontal clamps 60L and 70L, and clamps 80L and 90L will also be referred to as the first vertical clamps 80L and 90L. The clamping tool 50R is also called the second upper clamping tool 50R, the clamping tools 60R and 70R are also called the second horizontal clamping tools 60R and 70R, and the clamping tools 80R and 90R are also called the second vertical clamping tools 80R and 90R.

[0036] <2. Chassis> Chassis 2L and 2R are also called bogies. The chassis 2L of the first trailer house 1L has a frame 3L and left and right wheels 4L. The left and right wheels 4L are attached to the left and right sides of the frame 3L, respectively, and the frame 3L is supported on the ground by the wheels 4L. The frame 3L is supported on the ground by a support structure such as a support base 5L. The support structure can be easily removed from the first chassis 2L without tools. The rolling of the wheels 4L may be prevented by wheel chocks. The first chassis 2L has a coupler attached to the front end of the frame 3L, and the chassis 2L can be coupled to a towing vehicle by the coupler.

[0037] The second chassis 2R is identical to the first chassis 2L. The second chassis 2R has a frame 3R and left and right wheels 4R.

[0038] <3. Hut> The sheds 10L and 10R may have a wall structure, a frame structure, or both. Shed 10L may be a wooden house or a light steel frame house. Sheds 10L and 10R may be assembled using panel construction, frame construction, frame-panel construction, or frame wall construction, or a combination of two or more of these. Sheds 10L and 10R may be assembled using the same construction method or using different construction methods. In one example, sheds 10L and 10R are wooden houses with a wall structure assembled using a wood panel adhesive construction method. In another example, sheds 10L and 10R are light steel frame houses with a frame structure assembled using a prefabricated construction method.

[0039] The first shed 10L has a living space inside. The first shed 10L has a floor at its bottom, a rear exterior wall 11L at its rear, a right side exterior wall 12L on its right side, a front exterior wall at its front, a left side exterior wall 14L on its left side, and a roof 15L on its top. The floor is laid on a frame 3L. In one example, if the shed 10L is a wooden house assembled by a wood panel bonding method, the floor L, right side exterior wall 12L, front exterior wall, left side exterior wall 14L, rear exterior wall 11L, and roof 15L each have one or more hollow construction wood panels. A construction wood panel has a rectangular frame made by assembling four wooden frame members into a rectangular frame shape, and wooden face materials attached to one or both sides of the rectangular frame.

The front exterior wall of the first hut 10L will also be referred to as the first front exterior wall, and the front exterior wall of the second hut 10R will also be referred to as the second front exterior wall. The left side exterior wall 14L of the first hut 10L will also be referred to as the first left side exterior wall 14L, and the left side exterior wall 14R of the second hut 10R will also be referred to as the second left side exterior wall 14R. The roof of the first hut (10L) (15L) is also called the first roof (15L), and the roof of the second hut (10R) (15R) is also called the second roof (15R).

[0043] The first right-side exterior wall 12L has an opening and a door 16L, such as a hinged door, sliding door, or double sliding door, installed in the opening. The door 16L is set back from the front edge of the first right-side exterior wall 12L and back from the rear edge of the first right-side exterior wall 12L. Specifically, the door 16L is positioned midway between the front edge and the rear edge of the first right-side exterior wall 12L.

[0044] The second left side exterior wall 14R has an opening and a door 16R, such as a hinged door, sliding door, or double sliding door, installed in that opening. The door 16R is set back from the front edge of the second left side exterior wall 14R and set back from the rear edge of the second left side exterior wall 14R. Specifically, the door 16R is positioned midway between the front and rear edges of the second left side exterior wall 14R.

[0045] In the following, door 16L will also be referred to as door 16L, and door 16R will also be referred to as door 26R. Note that other types of fixtures, such as sliding windows, may be installed in place of doors 16L and 16R.

[0046] In both the first and second configurations, the trailer houses 1L and 1R are parked side by side, with the first right-side exterior wall 12L facing the second left-side exterior wall 14R, and the second door 16R facing the first door 16L. The distance between the first shed 10L and the second shed 10R in the second configuration is narrower than the distance between the first shed 10L and the second shed 10R in the first configuration.

[0047] <4. Deck> In the first embodiment shown in Figures 1, 3, 5, and 6, the deck 30 is positioned between the first chassis 2L and the second chassis 2R. Note that the deck 30 is not shown in Figures 3, 5, and 6.

[0048] The deck 30 may be placed on the ground between the first chassis 2L and the second chassis 2R, or it may be fixed to the ground. If the deck 30 is fixed to the ground, the fixing may be releaseable.

[0049] The left end of deck 30 is aligned with the right end of chassis 2L, and the right end of deck 30 is aligned with the left end of chassis 2R, with chassis 2L, deck 30, and chassis 2R being adjacent to each other in that order. The top of deck 30 is accessible from inside hut 10L through door 16L, and also from inside hut 10R through door 26R.

[0050] The height of the top surface of deck 30 is aligned with the height of the floor surface inside the sheds 10L and 10R. Alternatively, a step may be formed between the top surface of deck 30 and the floor surface inside the sheds 10L and 10R.

[0051] The deck 30 comprises a floor slab 31 and several legs. The legs are erected on the ground between the trailer houses 1L and 1R. The legs are either simply resting on the ground or are fixed to the ground. If the legs are fixed to the ground, the fixing may be releaseable. The floor slab 31 is horizontally fixed to the upper ends of the legs.

[0052] Stairs 33 may be provided from the ground to the edge of the floor slab 31. A handrail 34 may be erected on the edge of the floor slab 31. A table 35 may be placed or set up on the floor slab 31. A chair 36 may be placed or set up on the floor slab 31.

[0053] The front-to-back length of deck 30, that is, the front-to-back length of floor slab 31, is shorter than the width of doors 16L and 16R. The front-to-back length of deck 30 is shorter than the front-to-back length of shed 10L and 10R. However, the front-to-back length of deck 30 may be greater than or equal to the front-to-back length of shed 10L and 10R.

[0054] <5. Connecting corridor> In the second configuration shown in Figures 2, 4, 7, and 8, a connecting corridor 300 is positioned between the trailer houses 1L and 1R instead of the deck 30. The left end of the connecting corridor 300 is connected to the lower end of the first shed 10L below the first door 16L, and the right end of the connecting corridor 300 is connected to the lower end of the second shed 10R below the second door 16R. The top of the connecting corridor 300 is accessible from inside the first shed 10L through the first door 16L, and also accessible from inside the second shed 10R through the second door 16R. The connecting corridor 300 can be easily removed from the sheds 10L and 10R without tools.

[0055] The height of the upper surface of the connecting corridor 300 is aligned with the height of the floor surface inside the sheds 10L and 10R. Alternatively, a step may be formed between the upper surface of the connecting corridor 300 and the floor surface inside the sheds 10L and 10R.

[0056] The length of the connecting corridor 300 is shorter than the length of the deck 30. The length of the connecting corridor 300 is approximately equal to the width of the doors 16L and 16R.

[0057] The connecting corridor 300 has a frame 301 that spans between the lower right side of the first shed 10L and the lower left side of the second shed 10R, below the lower ends of the doors 16L and 16R, and a floorboard 302 laid on top of the frame 301. The frame 301 can be easily removed from the sheds 10L and 10R without tools. The floorboard 302 is detachable from the frame 301.

[0058] <6. Canopy and fasteners> The living facilities are further equipped with a canopy 40. The canopy 40 can be reversibly transformed from the configurations shown in Figures 3, 5, and 6 to the configurations shown in Figures 4, 7, and 8. As shown in Figure 3, when the living facilities are in the first configuration, as shown in Figures 3, 5, and 6, the canopy 40 is stretched out over the deck 30 and is also stretched between the right side outer wall 12L of the first hut 10L and the left side outer wall 14R of the second hut 10R. As shown in Figures 4, 7, and 8, when the living facilities are in the second configuration, the canopy 40 is shaped like an inverted U, enclosing the space above the connecting corridor 300 from above and on both sides, and is also stretched between the right side outer wall 12L of the first hut 10L and the left side outer wall 14R of the second hut 10R. The configuration of the canopy 40 shown in Figures 3, 5, and 6 is called the sunshade configuration, and the configuration of the canopy 40 shown in Figures 4, 7, and 8 is called the outer canopy configuration. The sunshade configuration is also called the awning configuration, and the outer canopy configuration is also called the outer hood configuration.

[0059] Referring to Figure 9, the canopy 40 will be described in detail. The canopy 40 has a sheet 49, connecting sheets 41L and 41R, and waterproof fasteners 42L and 42R. Sheet 49 is rectangular in shape, and connecting sheets 41L and 41R are strip-shaped. Sheet 49 and connecting sheets 41L and 41R are made of waterproof and light-blocking fabric, and they prevent the passage of water and light. However, sheet 49 may be transparent instead of light-blocking.

[0060] Sheet 49 and connecting sheets 41L, 41R may have water-repellent properties. In one example, water repellency of sheet 49 and connecting sheets 41L, 41R is achieved by applying a silicone-based or fluorine-based water repellent agent to sheet 49 and connecting sheets 41L, 41R. In another example, water repellency of sheet 49 and connecting sheets 41L, 41R is achieved by having fine irregularities on the surface of sheet 49 and connecting sheets 41L, 41R. The material of sheet 49 and connecting sheets 41L, 41R is, for example, polyamide, polyester, or polycotton.

[0061] The left end of sheet 49 is connected to the right end of connecting sheet 41L by a waterproof zipper 42L, and the right end of sheet 49 is connected to the left end of connecting sheet 41L by a waterproof zipper 42R. Waterproof zippers 42L and 42R are waterproof wire zippers. When waterproof zipper 42L is opened, sheet 49 is separated from connecting sheet 41L. When waterproof zipper 42L is closed, sheet 49 is connected to connecting sheet 41L. When waterproof zipper 42R is opened, sheet 49 is separated from connecting sheet 41R. When waterproof zipper 42R is closed, sheet 49 is connected to connecting sheet 41R.

[0062] The waterproof fastener 42L has a first set of teeth 43L provided at the right end of the connecting sheet 41L along the right end of the connecting sheet 41L, a second set of teeth 44L provided at the left end of the sheet 49 along the left end of the sheet 49, and a first slider that is movable along the first set of teeth 43L and the second set of teeth 44L and engages the first set of teeth 43L and the second set of teeth 44L and releases the engagement.

[0063] The waterproof fastener 42R has a third set of teeth 43R provided at the left end of the connecting sheet 41R along the left end of the connecting sheet 41R, a fourth set of teeth 44R provided at the right end of the sheet 49 along the right end of the sheet 49, and a second slider that is movable along the third set of teeth 43R and the fourth set of teeth 44R, and engages the third set of teeth 43R and the fourth set of teeth 44R and releases the engagement.

[0064] The first set of teeth 43L can engage not only with the second set of teeth 44L but also with the third set of teeth 43R. When the seat 49 is separated from the connecting seats 41L and 41R, the first set of teeth 43L and the third set of teeth 43R are engaged by the first slider or the second slider, thereby connecting the right end of the connecting seat 41L to the left end of the connecting seat 41R.

[0065] In the sunshade configuration, sheet 49 is used, and sheet 49 is connected to connecting sheets 41L and 41R by waterproof fasteners 42L and 42R. In the outer canopy configuration, sheet 49 is detached from connecting sheets 41L and 41R, and the right end of connecting sheet 41L is connected to the left end of connecting sheet 41R by the first gear row 43L and the third gear row 43R.

[0066] As shown in Figure 5, in the sunshade configuration, the connecting sheet 41L is fixed to the right side exterior wall 12L of the first shed 10L from the front end to the rear end of the right side of the first shed 10L above the first door 16L by being clamped by clamps 50L, 60L, and 70L. Clamp 50L is installed horizontally along the upper horizontal edge of the opening where the first door 16L is provided and is attached to the right side exterior wall 12L of the first shed 10L. Clamp 60L extends horizontally forward from the front end of clamp 50L and is attached to the right side exterior wall 12L of the first shed 10L. Clamp 70L extends horizontally backward from the rear end of clamp 50L and is attached to the right side exterior wall 12L of the first shed 10L.

[0067] As shown in Figure 7, in the case of the outer canopy configuration, the connecting sheet 41L is fixed to the right side outer wall 12L of the first shed 10L by being clamped by clamps 50L, 80L, and 90L, so as to surround the first door 16L from above, in front and behind. Clamp 80L is installed vertically along the front vertical edge of the opening in which the first door 16L is provided, and is attached to the right side outer wall 12L of the first shed 10L. Clamp 90L is installed vertically along the rear vertical edge of the opening in which the first door 16L is provided, and is attached to the right side outer wall 12L of the first shed 10L.

[0068] The front of the connecting sheet 41L can be reversibly clamped from clamp 60L to clamp 80L. The rear of the connecting sheet 41L can be reversibly clamped from clamp 70L to clamp 90L.

[0069] As shown in Figure 6, in the sunshade configuration, the connecting sheet 41R is fixed to the left side outer wall 14R of the second shed 10R from the front end to the rear end of the left side of the second shed 10R above the second door 16R by being clamped by clamps 50R, 60R, and 70R. Clamp 50R is installed horizontally along the upper horizontal edge of the opening where the second door 16R is provided and is attached to the left side outer wall 14R of the second shed 10R. Clamp 60R extends horizontally forward from the front end of clamp 50R and is attached to the left side outer wall 14R of the second shed 10R. Clamp 70R extends horizontally backward from the rear end of clamp 50R and is attached to the left side outer wall 14R of the second shed 10R.

[0070] As shown in Figure 8, in the case of the outer canopy configuration, the connecting sheet 41R is fixed to the left side outer wall 14R of the second shed 10R by being clamped by clamps 50R, 80R, and 90R, so as to surround the second door 16R from above, in front and behind. Clamp 80R is provided vertically along the front vertical edge of the opening where the second door 16R is provided and is attached to the left side outer wall 14R of the second shed 10R. Clamp 90R is provided vertically along the rear vertical edge of the opening where the second door 16R is provided and is attached to the left side outer wall 14R of the second shed 10R.

[0071] The front of the connecting sheet 41R can be reversibly clamped from clamping device 60R to clamping device 80R. The rear of the connecting sheet 41R can be reversibly clamped from clamping device 70R to clamping device 90R.

[0072] Figure 10 is a cross-sectional view along line XX shown in Figure 5. The clamping device 50L is fitted into a recess 121L and fixed to the right side outer wall 12L of the first shed 10L. The recess 121L is formed in the right side outer wall 12L of the first shed 10L so as to extend from the front end to the rear end of the right side of the first shed 10L along the upper horizontal edge of the opening in which the first door 16L is provided. The clamping device 50L has a support member 51L, a bearing plate 52L, sealing materials 53L, 54L and a plurality of fasteners 55L.

[0073] The support member 51L consists of a channel material formed in a groove shape (U-shape). Specifically, the groove of the support member 51L faces the recess 121L, and the support member 51L is fitted into the recess 121L and fixed within the recess 121L by adhesive or screws. A filler such as resin, rubber, or mortar is filled into the recess 121L around the support member 51L. The sealing material 53L is attached to the support member 51L. The bearing plate 52L is provided in the shape of a strip, and the sealing material 54L is attached to the bearing plate 52L. The bearing plate 52L is placed on top of the support member 51L in a position parallel to the left side of the first shed 10L, and the sealing materials 53L and 54L are sandwiched between the bearing plate 52L and the support member 51L. The connecting sheet 41L is sandwiched between the support member 51L and the bearing plate 52L. Specifically, the connecting sheet 41L is sandwiched between the sealing material 53L and the sealing material 54L. The sealing materials 53L and 54L are made of foamed resin or rubber.

[0074] Multiple fasteners 55L tighten the sealant 54L and bearing plate 52L toward the sealant 53L and support member 51L. The fasteners 55L are bolt-nut fasteners having nuts 56L and bolts 57L. The nuts 56L are housed in grooves in the support member 51L and fixed to the support member 51L. The bolts 57L pass through the bearing plate 52L, sealant 53L, connecting sheet 41L, sealant 54L, and support member 51L and are screwed into the nuts 56L. Holes are formed in the connecting sheet 41L, support member 51L, bearing plate 52L, and sealants 53L and 54L through which the bolts 57L pass.

[0075] The components of clamping devices 60L and 70L are the same as those of clamping device 50L. The receiving members of clamping devices 60L and 70L may be integrated with or separate from the receiving member 51L of clamping device 50L. The bearing plates of clamping devices 60L and 70L may be integrated with or separate from the receiving member 51L of clamping device 50L. The sealing material attached to the receiving members of clamping devices 60L and 70L may be integrated with or separate from the sealing material 53L. The sealing material attached to the bearing plates of clamping devices 60L and 70L may be integrated with or separate from the sealing material 54L.

[0076] The portion of the connecting sheet 41L sandwiched by the clamps 50L, 60L, and 70L corresponds to the left end of the canvas 40. The connecting sheet 41L sandwiched by the clamps 50L, 60L, and 70L extends downward from the clamps 50L, 60L, and 70L, and the right end of the connecting sheet 41L is connected to the left end of the sheet 49 by the waterproof zipper 42L. When the waterproof zipper 42L is opened, the sheet 49 is separated from the connecting sheet 41L, and the connecting sheet 41L hangs down from the clamps 50L, 60L, and 70L.

[0077] When the fastener 55L of the clamping device 50L is loosened and the bolt 57L is removed from the nut 56L, the bearing plate 52L is removed from the support member 51L. The clamping of the connecting sheet 41L by the clamping device 50L is released, and the connecting sheet 41L can be removed from the clamping device 50L. Similarly, when the clamping of the connecting sheet 41L by the clamping device 60L is released, the front part of the connecting sheet 41L can be removed from the clamping device 60L, and the front part of the connecting sheet 41L can be clamped by the clamping device 80L.

As shown in Figures 13 and 14, the front of the connecting sheet 41L is replaced with the clamp 80L from the clamp 60L, and the rear of the connecting sheet 41L is replaced with the clamp 90L from the clamp 70L. As shown in Figure 15, the front of the connecting sheet 41R is replaced with the clamp 80R from the clamp 60R, and the rear of the connecting sheet 41R is replaced with the clamp 90R from the clamp 70R. The connecting sheet 41L is connected to the connecting sheet 41R by the first gear row 43L and the third gear row 43R.

[0089] In the case of the outer canopy configuration, the connecting sheet 41L is fixed to the right side outer wall 12L of the first shed 10L by clamps 50L, 80L, and 90L, and the connecting sheet 41R is fixed to the right side outer wall 12L of the first shed 10L by clamps 50R, 80R, and 90R, and the right end of the connecting sheet 41L is connected to the left end of the connecting sheet 41R by the first tooth row 43L and the third tooth row 43R. The connecting sheets 41L and 41R are in an inverted U shape so as to surround the space above the connecting corridor 300 from the front, back and above. The connecting sheets 41L and 41R protrude from the lower ends of the clamps 80L and 80R, and the protruding portion is folded back under the floorboard 302 of the connecting corridor 300. The protruding portion is secured to the connecting corridor 300 by being sandwiched between the floorboard 302 of the connecting corridor 300 and the support structure. The connecting sheets 41L and 41R protrude from the lower ends of the clamping devices 90L and 90R, and the protruding portions are folded back under the floorboards 302 of the connecting corridor 300. These protruding portions are secured to the connecting corridor 300 by being sandwiched between the floorboards 302 of the connecting corridor 300 and the structural frame.

[0090] When changing the canvas 40 from outer canvas form to sunshade form, the connecting sheet 41L is separated from the connecting sheet 41R by opening the waterproof zipper consisting of the first tooth row 43L and the third tooth row 43R. The first trailer house 1L and the second trailer house 1R are separated from each other. The front of the connecting sheet 41L is replaced with a clamp 60L from a clamp 80L, and the rear of the connecting sheet 41L is replaced with a clamp 70L from a clamp 90L. The front of the connecting sheet 41R is replaced with a clamp 60R from a clamp 80R, and the rear of the connecting sheet 41R is replaced with a clamp 70R from a clamp 90R. The left end of sheet 49 is connected to the right end of connecting sheet 41L by a waterproof zipper 42L, and the right end of sheet 49 is connected to the right end of connecting sheet 41R by a waterproof zipper 42R.

[0091] The dashed lines in Figure 9 represent valley folds when the canvas 40 takes the form of an outer canvas. The dotted lines in Figure 9 represent mountain folds when the canvas 40 takes the form of an outer canvas. As shown in Figure 9, the valley fold 411 is formed in the connecting sheet 41L parallel to the direction of alignment of the first tooth row 43L. The portion 414 to the left of the valley fold 411 is clamped by clamps 50L, 60L, 70L or clamps 50L, 80L, 90L. The portion to the right of the valley fold 411 protrudes from the clamps 50L, 60L, 70L or clamps 50L, 80L, 90L. The portion to the right of the valley fold 411 is divided into three parts 415, 416, and 417 by mountain folds 412, 413 perpendicular to the valley fold 411. In the case of the outer canopy configuration, the portion 415 between the mountain folds 412 and 413 is stretched almost horizontally above the connecting corridor 300, and portions 416 and 417 on either side of portion 415 are provided almost vertically on either side of the connecting corridor 300. Of the portion 414 to the left of the valley fold 411, portion 418 adjacent to portion 415 between the mountain folds 412 and 413 is clamped by a clamp 50L. Of the portion 414 to the left of the valley fold 411, portion 419 adjacent to portion 416 is clamped by a clamp 60L or a clamp 80L. Of the portion 414 to the left of the valley fold 411, portion 420 adjacent to portion 417 is clamped by a clamp 70L or a clamp 90L. A gusset 422 is formed between the portion 418 that is clamped by the clamping tool 50L and the portion 419 that is clamped by the clamping tool 60L or the clamping tool 80L. A gusset 423 is formed between the portion 418 that is clamped by the clamping tool 50L and the portion 420 that is clamped by the clamping tool 70L or the clamping tool 90L.

[0092] Figure 16 is a perspective view showing the gusset 422 in its folded state. Figure 17 is a perspective view showing an intermediate state in the process of the gusset 422 transforming from the folded state to the unfolded state or vice versa. Figure 18 is a perspective view showing the gusset 422 in its unfolded state. As shown in Figure 16, in the sunshade configuration, the gusset 422 is folded into a triangular shape, more specifically into a right-angled isosceles triangle, by folds 422a and 422b. Fold 422a extends from the mountain fold 412 to section 414, and fold 422b intersects folds 411, 412, and 422a at a 45° angle at their intersection. As shown in Figure 18, in the outer canopy configuration, the gusset 422 unfolds into a rectangular shape, more specifically into a square shape.

[0093] In the sunshade configuration, gusset 423 folds into a right-angled isosceles triangle shape, similar to gusset 422. In the outer canopy configuration, gusset 423 unfolds into a square shape.

[0094] As shown in Figure 9, gussets 442 and 443 are also formed on the connecting sheet 41R. In the sunshade configuration, gussets 442 and 443 are folded into a right-angled isosceles triangle shape, and in the outer canopy configuration, gussets 442 and 443 are unfolded into a square shape.

[0095] Note that the gussets 422, 423, 442, and 443 are not meant to be folded or unfolded, but may be made of a material that stretches or contracts, such as rubber or elastomer. In the sunshade configuration, the gussets 422, 423, 442, and 443 contract, and in the outer canopy configuration, the gussets 422, 423, 442, and 443 extend.

[0096] In the above embodiment, when the canopy 40 takes the form of an outer canopy, the sheet 49 is removed from the connecting sheets 41L and 41R. However, the sheet 49 does not have to be removed from the connecting sheets 41L and 41R. In this case, the total length of the connecting corridor 300 is longer than in the above embodiment, and the connecting corridor 300 is stretched between the first shed 10L and the second shed 10R under the first door 16L and the second door 16R. The sheet 49 is in an inverted U shape, and its lower end is folded back under the floorboard 302 of the connecting corridor 300 and secured to the connecting corridor 300.

[0097] <7. Summary> (1) The canopy 40 is stretched between the first right side outer wall 12L of the first hut 10L and the left side outer wall 14R of the second hut 10R, and in the sunshade configuration, the canopy 40 is stretched over the doors 16L and 16R provided on the outer walls 12L and 14R respectively, so that the area above the deck 30 is protected from sunlight and rain over a wide area by the canopy 40. A person can go out onto the deck 30 from the first hut 10L or the second hut 10R and live outdoors.

[0098] (2) In the case of the outer sail configuration, the canopy 40 encloses the space between the first door 16L and the second door 16R from above and on both sides, so that the area above the walkway 300 is protected from wind, rain and sunlight from the sides by the canopy 40. When a person moves from the first hut 10L to the second hut 10R via the walkway 300, they are protected from rain, sunlight and the outside air.

[0099] (3) Since the canvas top 40 can be in both a sunshade form and an outer canvas form, the canvas top 40 has a wide range of applications.

[0100] (4) The first upper clamp 50L and the first side clamps 60L and 70L are attached to the first right side outer wall 12L, and the canopy 40 is clamped by the first upper clamp 50L and the first side clamps 60L and 70L, so that the canopy 40 is fixed to the first right side outer wall 12L and there is no gap between the first right side outer wall 12L and the canopy 40. The absence of a gap between the first right side outer wall 12L and the canopy 40 prevents sunlight from entering underneath the canopy 40 and prevents rainwater from passing through. Similarly, the second upper clamp 50R and the second side clamps 60R and 70R contribute to fixing the canopy 40 to the second left side outer wall 14R and also contribute to eliminating the gap between the second left side outer wall 14R and the canopy 40. When the canvas top 40 is stretched between the first upper clamp 50L and the first side clamps 60L, 70L and the second upper clamp 50R and the second side clamps 60R, 70R, the canvas top 40 takes on a retracted form.

[0101] (5) When the canvas top 40 is replaced with the first horizontal clamps 60L, 70L and the first vertical clamps 80L, 90L, and when the canvas top 40 is replaced with the second horizontal clamps 60R, 70R and the second vertical clamps 80R, 90R, the canvas top 40 takes on an outer canvas form. Even in the outer canvas form, there is no gap between the first right side outer wall 12L and the canvas top 40, and there is no gap between the second left side outer wall 14R and the canvas top 40, thus preventing sunlight from entering the inside of the canvas top 40 and preventing rainwater from passing through.

[0102] (6) When the first connecting sheet 41L is sandwiched between the first upper clamp 50L and the first horizontal clamps 60L and 70L, and the second connecting sheet 41R is sandwiched between the second upper clamp 50R and the second horizontal clamps 60R and 70R, and the first gear row 43L and the second gear row 44L engage, and the third gear row 43R and the fourth gear row 44R engage, the canopy 40 takes on a sunshade form. When the first connecting sheet 41L is switched from the first horizontal clamps 60L and 70L to the first vertical clamps 80L and 90L, and the second connecting sheet 41R is switched from the second horizontal clamps 60R and 70R to the second vertical clamps 80R and 90R, the canopy 40 takes on an outer canopy form.

[0103] (7) When the engagement between the first set of teeth 43L and the second set of teeth 44L is released, sheet 49 is separated from the first connecting sheet 41L, and the first connecting sheet 41L hangs down due to its own weight. Since the first connecting sheet 41L follows the first right side outer wall 12L of the first shed 10L, the first connecting sheet 41L does not get in the way.

[0104] (8) When the engagement between the third tooth row 43R and the fourth tooth row 44R is released, the sheet 49 is separated from the second connecting sheet 41R, and the second connecting sheet 41R hangs down due to its own weight. The second connecting sheet 41R lies along the second left side outer wall 14R of the second shed 10R, so the second connecting sheet 41R does not get in the way.

[0105] (9) When the seat 49 is detached from both the first connecting seat 41L and the second connecting seat 41R, the seat 49 can be stored.

[0106] (10) If the gap between the first right side outer wall 12L of the first hut 10L and the second left side outer wall 14R of the second hut 10R is narrow, the sheet 49 is detached from both the first connecting sheet 41L and the second connecting sheet 41R, and the first gear row 43L engages with the third gear row 43R, thereby connecting the first connecting sheet 41L to the second connecting sheet 41R. As a result, the canopy 40 is adjusted to the gap between the first right side outer wall 12L and the second left side outer wall 14R. Conversely, if the gap between the first right side outer wall 12L of the first hut 10L and the second left side outer wall 14R of the second hut 10R is wide, the sheet 49 is connected to the first connecting sheet 41L and the second connecting sheet 41R, so the canopy 40 is adjusted to the gap between the first right side outer wall 12L and the second left side outer wall 14R.

[0107] (11) When the first connecting sheet 41L is released from the first horizontal clamps 60L, 70L and clamped by the first vertical clamps 80L, 90L, and the second connecting sheet 41R is released from the second horizontal clamps 60R, 70R and clamped by the second vertical clamps 80R, 90R, the canopy 40 takes on an outer canopy configuration. In this case, since the sheet 49 has been removed, the canopy 40 in its outer canopy configuration is aligned with the gap between the first right side outer wall 12L and the second left side outer wall 14R. When the first connecting sheet 41L is released from the first vertical clamps 80L, 90L and clamped by the first horizontal clamps 60L, 70L, and the second connecting sheet 41R is released from the second vertical clamps 80R, 90R and clamped by the second horizontal clamps 60R, 70R, the canopy 40 takes on a sunshade configuration. In that case, since the sheet 49 is attached, the sunshade-type canopy 40 is aligned with the space between the first right side outer wall 12L and the second left side outer wall 14R.

[0108] (12) Since the first connecting sheet 41L has first gussets 422 and 423, when the first connecting sheet 41L is replaced from the first horizontal clamps 60L and 70L to the first vertical clamps 80L and 90L, the first gussets 422 and 423 are unfolded. Therefore, rainwater and other leaks do not occur.

[0109] (13) Since the second connecting sheet 41R has second gussets 442 and 443, when the second connecting sheet 41R is replaced from the second horizontal clamps 60R and 70R to the second vertical clamps 80R and 90R, the second gussets 442 and 443 are unfolded. Therefore, rainwater and other leaks do not occur.

[0110] (14) Since the first shed 10L is installed on the first chassis 2L, the first trailer house 1L can be transported. Since the second shed 10R is installed on the second chassis bogie 2R, the second trailer house 1R can be transported.

[0111] (15) The energy used from the production to the disposal of wood is less than the energy used from the production to the disposal of metal or concrete materials. Therefore, if the 10L,10R cabins are wooden houses, then the 1L,1R trailer houses, each containing a 10L,10R cabin, contribute to the realization of a decarbonized society by promoting carbon neutrality, which effectively reduces carbon dioxide emissions to zero, and to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
