By releasing the fixing of the tarp 40 by the first fastener 60, the tarp 40 can be removed from the rear outer wall 11 of the first hut 10. The tarp 40, more specifically the connecting sheet 42, is fixed to the front outer wall 23 of the second hut 20 by a second fastener 80, from the left end to the right end of the front surface of the second hut 20, above the door 16. By releasing the fixing of the tarp 40 by the second fastener 80, the tarp 40 can be removed from the front outer wall 23 of the second hut 20.
[0055] The first fastener 60 is installed horizontally along the upper horizontal edge of the opening where the door 16 is provided, and is attached to the rear outer wall 11 of the first shed 10.
[0056] The first fastener 60 may be a clamping device that grips the tarp 40 by clamping it. The load applied by the first fastener 60 to the tarp 40 may be generated by a spring mechanism or a bolt and nut fastener. The first fastener 60 has a support member and a bearing plate. The support member is fixed to the rear outer wall 11 of the first shed 10 from the left end to the right end of the rear surface of the first shed 10 above the door 16. The bearing plate abuts against the support member, and the connecting sheet 41 is sandwiched between the bearing plate and the support member. The bearing plate is fixed to the support member so that a spring mechanism or bolt and nut fastener tightens the bearing plate against the support member. The second fixing device 80 may be a clamping device, similar to the first fixing device 60.
[0057] The left curtain 50 is installed between the rear outer wall 11 of the first hut 10 and the front outer wall 23 of the second hut 20, and extends forward and backward along the left end of the deck 30. The left curtain 50 has a track 52 and two curtain panels 51. The track 52 is stretched between the rear of the first hut 10 and the front of the second hut 20 above the left end of the deck 30. The track 52 is a rope, wire, tension rod, rod, or rail. The track 52 may be easily removed from the huts 10 and 20 without tools. The upper end of the curtain panels 51 is attached to the track 52 so that it can move along the track 52. The curtain panels 51 hang down from the track 52. The curtain panels 51 can be extended or folded in the forward and backward directions. The curtain panels 51 are waterproof. The material of the curtain panels 51 is, for example, polyamide, polyester, or polycotton. Furthermore, the number of curtain panels 51 is not limited to 2; it may be 1 or 3 or more. The right curtain 50 is installed between the rear outer wall 11 of the first shed 10 and the front outer wall 23 of the second shed 20, and extends forward and backward along the right edge of the deck 30. The right curtain 50 has the same components as the left curtain 50.
[0058] The left handrail 70 spans the space between the rear of the first shed 10 and the front of the second shed 20, above the left end of the deck 30. The left handrail 70 may be easily removed from the sheds 10 and 20 without tools. The left handrail 70 has a pair of handrails 71 and 72 vertically, a pair of vertical members 73 and 74 front to back, and multiple vertical rails 75. The handrails 71 and 72 and the vertical members 73 and 74 are assembled in a rectangular frame shape. Both ends of the handrail 71 are joined to the upper ends of the vertical members 73 and 74, and both ends of the handrail 72 are joined to the lower ends of the vertical members 73 and 74. Multiple vertical rails 75 are positioned between the vertical members 73 and 74 and are provided parallel to these vertical members 73 and 74. The upper ends of the vertical rails 75 are joined to the handrail 71, and the lower ends of the vertical rails 75 are joined to the handrail 72.
[0059] Figure 3 is a horizontal cross-sectional view along line III-III shown in Figure 1. The left handrail 70 is fixed to the rear outer wall 11 by the first shed 10 by a number of bolts 91. The bolts 91 are tightened onto nuts 92. The nuts 92 are fixed to a support member 93. The support member 93 is made of a channel material formed in a groove shape (U shape). The groove of the support member 93 is directed toward the recess 99, and the support member 93 is fitted into the recess 99 and fixed within the recess 99 by adhesive or screws. The nuts 92 are housed in the groove of the support member 93 and are fixed to the support member 93 by welding. The recess 99 is formed in the rear outer wall 11 of the first shed 10 so as to extend along the left edge of the rear surface of the first shed 10. A filler material 94 such as resin, rubber, or mortar is filled into the recess 99 around the support member 93.
[0060] The vertical member 73 of the left handrail 70 abuts against the support member 93, and a spacer 95 is sandwiched between the vertical member 73 and the support member 93. The spacer 95 is made of, for example, rubber. A bolt 91 passes through the vertical member 73, the spacer 95, and the support member 93 and is tightened into a nut 92. In this way, the handrail 70 is attached to the rear outer wall 11 of the first shed 10 above the left end of the deck 30. The handrail 70 can be removed from the rear outer wall 11 of the first shed 10 by removing the multiple bolts 91. Note that the bolts 91 may be wing bolts with knobs on the heads of the bolts 91, allowing the bolts 91 to be tightened or loosened by pinching the knobs.
[0061] Just as the vertical member 73 of the left handrail 70 is fixed to the rear outer wall 11 of the first shed 10 by bolts 91 and nuts 92, the vertical member 74 of the left handrail 70 is fixed to the front outer wall 23 of the second shed 20 by bolts 191 and nuts 192. For this reason, a support member 193 similar to the support member 93 is provided on the front outer wall 23 of the second shed 20, and a spacer 195 is sandwiched between the support member 193 and the vertical member 74. Reference numeral 199 in Figure 2 indicates a recess formed in the front outer wall 23 of the second shed 20, and reference numeral 194 indicates a filler material filled into the recess 199.
[0062] The right handrail 70 is positioned along the right edge of the deck 30. The right handrail 70 spans the rear of the first shed 10 and the front of the second shed 20 above the right edge of the deck 30. Just as the vertical member 73 of the left handrail 70 is fixed to the rear outer wall 11 of the first shed 10 by bolts 91 and nuts 92, the vertical member 73 of the right handrail 70 is fixed to the rear outer wall 11 of the first shed 10 by bolts and nuts, and the vertical member 74 of the right handrail 70 is fixed to the front outer wall 23 of the second shed 20 by bolts and nuts. Therefore, a pair of support members similar to the support member 93 is provided on the rear outer wall 11 of the first shed 10 and the front outer wall 23 of the second shed 20, respectively, with spacers sandwiched between the support member and the vertical member 73 of the right handrail 70, and spacers sandwiched between the support member and the vertical member 74 of the right handrail 70.
[0063] As described above, the groove of the support member 93 is directed toward the rear outer wall 11 of the first shed 10, the support member 93 is attached to the rear outer wall 11, and the nut 92 is housed in the groove of the support member 93 and fixed to the support member 93, so the nut 92 is hidden behind the support member 93. Therefore, the nut 92 does not get in the way. Similarly, the nut 192 is hidden behind the support member 193 and does not get in the way.
[0064] The vertical members 73 of the handrail 70 are placed against the support members 93, and bolts 91 are tightened through the vertical members 73 of the handrail 70, the spacer 95, and the support members 93 and secured to nuts 92, thereby fixing the vertical members 73 of the handrail 70 to the rear outer wall 11 of the first shed 10. When the bolts 91 are loosened, the bolts 91 can be removed, and the handrail 70 can be removed from the rear outer wall 11 of the first shed 10. Similarly, the attachment and detachment of the front outer wall 23 of the second shed 20 is achieved by loosening and tightening bolts 191.
[0065] Spacer 95 contributes to the stable attachment of the vertical member 73 of the handrail 70 to the support member 93. Spacer 195 contributes to the stable attachment of the vertical member 74 of the handrail 70 to the support member 193.
[0066] The handrail 70 is stretched between the rear exterior wall 11 of the first shed 10 and the front exterior wall 23 of the second shed 20. Therefore, no fixtures or structures are needed to fix the handrail 70 to the deck 30, and the structure of the deck 30 can be simplified.
[0067] Since the handrail 70 is detachable from the rear exterior wall 11 of the first shed 10 and the front exterior wall 23 of the second shed 20, the variety of uses for the trailer house is expanded. When the handrail 70 is installed, it is stretched along the edge of the deck 30 between the rear exterior wall 11 of the first shed 10 and the front exterior wall 23 of the second shed 20, so the handrail 70 helps prevent people on the deck 30 from falling.
[0068] As shown in Figure 4, when the handrail 70 is removed from the rear outer wall 11 of the first hut 10 and the front outer wall 23 of the second hut 20, a person on the deck 30 can descend from the deck 30 to the ground. The stairs 200 are positioned beside the deck 30, making it easy to descend from or onto the deck 30.
[0069] As shown in Figure 5, once the handrail 70 is removed from the rear outer wall 11 of the first shed 10 and the front outer wall 23 of the second shed 20, and the extension deck 210 is installed next to the deck 30, it becomes possible to move between the deck 30 and the extension deck 210. The placement of the stairs 220 next to the extension deck 210 makes it easy to descend from and onto the extension deck 210.
[0070] Since the deck 30 is positioned between the rear exterior wall 11 of the first hut 10 and the front exterior wall 23 of the second hut 20, and a door 16 is provided on the rear exterior wall 11, it is possible to enter and exit between the first hut 10 and the deck 30. Since a door 26 is provided on the front exterior wall 23 of the second hut 20, it is possible to enter and exit between the second hut 20 and the deck 30. It is possible to move between the first hut 10 and the second hut 20 through the deck 30.
[0071] After changing clothes in the second hut 20, which is a changing room or washroom / changing room, the user can immediately take a bath in the sauna or bathroom in the first hut 10. After taking a bath in the first hut 10, the user can immediately cool down on the deck (30). After that, the user can immediately change clothes in the second hut 20. The layout of the first hut 10, the second hut 20, and the deck 30 contributes to increasing the added value of the trailer house.
[0072] When users spend time on Deck 30, they can experience a feeling of liberation.
[0073] The first hut 10 and the second hut 20 can be used for separate purposes. In the above description, the first hut 10 is used as a sauna or bathroom, and the second hut 20 is used as a changing room or washroom / changing room, but these huts 10 and 20 may be used for other purposes.
[0074] Those in Hut 1 (10) and those in Hut 2 (20) will not interfere with each other, and their privacy will be ensured.
[0075] Tarp 40 provides shade and protection from rain for those on Deck 30. Therefore, users can enjoy an open and airy feeling on Deck 30 regardless of the weather. Thus, Tarp 40 contributes to enhancing the added value of the trailer house.
[0076] The main sheet 49 of the tarp 40 is detached from the connecting sheet 41, and the connecting sheet 41 hangs down due to its own weight. Since the connecting sheet 41 follows the rear outer wall 11 of the first hut 10, the connecting sheet 41 does not get in the way. Even if the main sheet 49 is detached from the connecting sheet 42, the connecting sheet 42 does not get in the way. When the main sheet 49 is detached from both the connecting sheets 41 and 42, the main sheet 49 can be stored away.
[0077] The curtain 50 blocks the view from the outside onto the deck 30, ensuring the privacy of those on the deck 30. Therefore, the curtain 50 contributes to increasing the added value of the trailer house.
[0078] Since the wheels 4 are attached to the frame 4 between the first shed 10 and the second shed 20, the weight balance of the trailer house in the front-to-back direction is good.
[0079] 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 cabins 10 and 20 are wooden houses, trailer homes 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).
[0080] <Second Embodiment> Figure 3 is a rear view of the living facilities according to the second embodiment. The living facilities include a first trailer house 101L, a second trailer house 101R, a deck 130, a tarp 40, a pair of curtains 50, and a pair of railings 70.
[0081] The Trailer House 101L and 101R are towed vehicles that do not have a driving power source such as an internal combustion engine or motor. The Trailer House 101L and 101R can individually pass Japanese vehicle inspections. In other words, the Trailer House 101L and 101R can be registered under the Japan Automobile Inspection and Registration System, can pass inspections conducted by the Japanese Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, and can be permitted to continue using them on public roads for a certain period of time. The Trailer House 101L and 101R comply with the size and weight restrictions stipulated by the Building Standards Act or the Road Transport Vehicle Act. For example, the width of the Trailer House 101L and 101R is within 2.5m, the length is within 12m, and the height is within 3.8m. With special permission, the size or weight of the Trailer House 101L and 101R may exceed the limits set forth in the Road Transport Vehicle Safety Standards.
[0082] Trailer houses 101L and 101R are parked side-by-side, in the width direction of the vehicle. Trailer house 101L is positioned to the left of trailer house 101R. Here, "left" and "right" are not determined by looking at trailer houses 101L and 101R from the front, but by looking from the driver's seat of the towing vehicle. In other words, "left" and "right" are determined by looking at trailer houses 101L and 101R in the forward direction. The left-right direction is the width direction of the vehicle, the front-rear direction is the length direction of the vehicle, and the up-down direction is the height direction of the vehicle.
[0083] The first trailer house 101L comprises a chassis 102L, a shed 110, and a first fixing device 60.
[0084] Chassis 102L is similar to chassis 2 in the first embodiment. Chassis 102L has a frame 103L and left and right wheels 104L. The left and right wheels 104L are mounted on the left and right sides of the frame 103L, respectively, and the frame 103L is supported on the ground by the wheels 104L. The frame 103L is supported on the ground by a support structure such as a support base 105. The support structure can be easily removed without tools. Rolling of the wheels 104L may be prevented by wheel chocks. Chassis 102L has a coupler attached to the front end of the frame 103L, and chassis 102L can be coupled to a towing vehicle by the coupler.
[0085] The shed 110 is installed on a frame 103L of the chassis 102L. The shed 110 may have a wall structure, a frame structure, or both. The shed 110 may be a wooden house or a light steel frame house. The shed 110 may be assembled by a panel construction method, a frame construction method, a frame-panel construction method, or a combination of two or more of these. In one example, the shed 110 is a wooden house with a wall structure assembled by a wood panel adhesive construction method. In another example, the shed 110 is a light steel frame house with a frame structure assembled by a prefabricated construction method.
[0086] The shed 110 has a living space inside. The shed 110 has a floor at its bottom, a rear exterior wall 111 at its rear, a right side exterior wall 112 on its right side, a front exterior wall at its front, a left side exterior wall 114 on its left side, and a roof 115 on its top. The floor is laid on a frame 103L. The lower end of the rear exterior wall 111 is joined to the rear end of the floor, and the rear exterior wall 111 is erected at the rear end of the floor.

The lower end of the front exterior wall is joined to the front end of the floor, and the front exterior wall is erected at the front end of the floor. The left side exterior wall 114 is joined to the left end of the floor, and the left side exterior wall 114 is erected at the left end of the floor.
[0087] The roof 115 extends over the living space enclosed by the rear exterior wall 111, the right side exterior wall 112, the front exterior wall, and the left side exterior wall 114, covering the living space, and is installed at the upper ends of the rear exterior wall 111, the right side exterior wall 112, the front exterior wall, and the left side exterior wall 114. The rear end, right end, front end, and left end of the roof 115 are joined to the upper ends of the rear exterior wall 111, the right side exterior wall 112, the front exterior wall, and the left side exterior wall 114, respectively. The eaves and gable ends of the roof 115 are very short. The roof 115 is a single-slope roof that slopes downward to the left. The roof 115 may be a flat roof or a gable roof instead of a single-slope roof.
[0088] The second trailer house 101R is equipped with a chassis 102R, a shed 120, and a second fixing device 80. Hereafter, the chassis 102L of the first trailer house 101L will also be referred to as the first chassis 102L, and the chassis 102R of the second trailer house 101R will also be referred to as the second chassis 102R. The shed 110 of the first trailer house 101L will also be referred to as the first shed 110, and the shed 120 of the second trailer house 101R will also be referred to as the second shed 120.
[0089] The second chassis 102R is installed in the same manner as the first chassis 102L. Reference numeral 103R indicates the frame, reference numeral 104R indicates the wheels, and reference numeral 105R indicates the support base.
[0090] The second shed 120, like the first shed 110, has a floor at its bottom, a rear exterior wall 121 at its rear, a right side exterior wall 122 on its right side, a front exterior wall at its front, a left side exterior wall 124 on its left side, and a roof 125 at its top. Hereafter, the floor of the first shed 110 will also be called the first floor, and the floor of the second shed 120 will also be called the second floor. The rear exterior wall 111 of the first shed 110 will also be called the first rear exterior wall 111, and the rear exterior wall 121 of the second shed 120 will also be called the second rear exterior wall. The right side exterior wall 112 of the first shed 110 will also be called the first right side exterior wall 112, and the right side exterior wall 122 of the second shed 120 will also be called the second right side exterior wall 122. The front exterior wall of the first shed 110 can also be called the first front exterior wall, and the front exterior wall of the second shed 120 can also be called the second front exterior wall. The left side exterior wall 114 of the first shed 110 can also be called the first left side exterior wall 114, and the left side exterior wall 124 of the second shed 120 can also be called the second left side exterior wall 124. The roof 115 of the first shed 110 can also be called the first roof 115, and the roof 125 of the second shed 120 can also be called the second roof 125.
[0091] Since the trailer houses 101L and 101R are parked side by side, the first right-side exterior wall 112 faces the second left-side exterior wall 124 from left to right. The first right-side exterior wall 112 has an opening and a door 116, such as a hinged door, sliding door, or double sliding door, installed in that opening. Other types of joinery, such as a double sliding window, may be installed in place of the door 116. The second left-side exterior wall 124 has an opening and a door 126, such as a hinged door, sliding door, or double sliding door, installed in that opening. Other types of joinery, such as a double sliding window, may be installed in place of the door 126.
[0092] A sauna or bathroom may be installed inside the first hut 110, and the door 116 may be the entrance to the sauna room or bathroom. Rooms used for purposes other than a sauna or bathroom, such as a bedroom, dining room, living room, kitchen, or toilet room, may be installed inside the first hut 110 together with the sauna or bathroom. A changing room or washroom / changing room may be installed inside the second hut 120, and the door 126 may be the entrance to the changing room or washroom / changing room. Rooms used for purposes other than a changing room or washroom / changing room, such as a bedroom, dining room, living room, kitchen, or toilet room, may be installed inside the second hut 120 together with the changing room or washroom / changing room.
[0093] Deck 130 is located between trailer houses 101L and 101R. The left end of Deck 130 is close to the right end of the first trailer house 101L, and the top of Deck 130 is accessible from inside the first hut 110 through door 116. The right end of Deck 130 is close to the left end of the second trailer house 101R, and the top of Deck 130 is accessible from inside the second hut 120 through door 126.
[0094] The deck 130 comprises a number of legs 132 and a floorboard 131. The legs 132 are erected on the ground between the trailer houses 101L and 101R. The legs 132 may be fixed to the ground. The floorboard 131 is horizontally fixed to the upper ends of the legs 132. Stairs may be provided from the ground to the edge of the floorboard 131. Handrails may be erected on the edge of the floorboard 131. A table may be placed or installed on the floorboard 131. A bench may be placed or installed on the floorboard 131. The height of the upper surface of the floorboard 131 may be aligned with the height of the floors of the sheds 110 and 120.
[0095] The tarp 40 is stretched out over the deck 130 and is also stretched between the right side of the first hut 110 and the left side of the second hut 120. The tarp 40 of the second embodiment, like the tarp 40 of the first embodiment, has a sheet 49, connecting sheets 41, 42 and waterproof fasteners 43, 44.
[0096] The connecting sheet 41 of the tarp 40 is fixed to the upper end of the right side of the first hut 110 by being sandwiched by the first fastener 60. The connecting sheet 42 of the tarp 40 is fixed to the upper end of the left side of the second hut 120 by being sandwiched by the second fastener 80. The first fastener 60 is the same as the first fastener 60 in the first embodiment. In the second embodiment, the first fastener 60 is attached to the upper end of the right side of the first hut 110 in the same way that the first fastener 60 is attached to the upper end of the rear of the first hut 10 in the first embodiment. The first fastener 60 may be attached to the right nose of the roof 115 on the right side of the first hut 110, or to the right side outer wall 112. The second fastener 80 is the same as the second fastener 80 in the first embodiment. In the second embodiment, the second fastener 80 is attached to the upper end of the left side of the second shed 120, in the same manner as in the first embodiment where the second fastener 80 is attached to the upper end of the rear surface of the second shed 20. The second fastener 80 may also be attached to the left end of the roof 125 on the left side of the second shed 120, or to the left side exterior wall 114.
[0097] When sheet 49 is detached from connecting sheet 41, connecting sheet 41 sags due to its own weight. Because connecting sheet 41 follows the right side of the first shed 110, it does not get in the way. In particular, when the first trailer house 101L is towed on a public road, connecting sheet 41 does not cause a violation of legal vehicle width restrictions.
[0098] The front curtain 50 is provided along the front end of the deck 130 between the right side of the first hut 110 and the left side of the second hut 120, and the rear curtain 50 is provided along the rear end of the deck 130 between the right side of the first hut 110 and the left side of the second hut 120. The curtain 50 of the second embodiment has a track body 52 and one or more curtain bodies 51, similar to the curtain 50 of the first embodiment.
