The sheds 10L and 10R 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 sheds 10L and 10R may be assembled using the same construction method or different construction methods. In one example, the sheds 10L and 10R are wooden houses with a wall structure assembled using a wood panel adhesive construction method. In another example, the 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 on its bottom surface, a rear exterior wall 11L on its rear surface, a right side exterior wall 12L on its right side, a front exterior wall on its front surface, a left side exterior wall 14L on its left side, and a roof 15L on its top surface. The floor is laid on a platform 3L. In one example, if the shed 10L is a wooden house assembled using a wood panel adhesive construction 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 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 foamed resin filled inside the rectangular frame.
[0040] The lower end of the rear exterior wall 11L is joined to the rear end of the floor, and the rear exterior wall 11L is erected at the rear end of the floor. The right side exterior wall 12L is joined to the right end of the floor, and the right side exterior wall 12L is erected at the right 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 14L is joined to the left end of the floor, and the left side exterior wall 14L is erected at the left end of the floor. The roof 15L is installed on top of the living space enclosed by the rear exterior wall 11L, right side exterior wall 12L, front exterior wall, and left side exterior wall 14L, covering the living space. The roof 15L is a single-shed roof sloping downward to the left. The roof 15L may not be a single-shed roof, but may be a flat roof or a gable roof. The eaves and gables of the 15L roof are very short.
[0041] Like the first shed 10L, the second shed 10R has a floor on its bottom, a rear exterior wall 11R on its rear side, a right side exterior wall 12R on its right side, a front exterior wall on its front side, a left side exterior wall 14R on its left side, and a roof 15R on its top side. The roof 15R is a shed roof that slopes downward to the right. The roof 15R does not have to be a shed roof, but may also be a flat roof or a gable roof. The eaves and ridge overhang of the roof 15L are very short.
[0042] Hereinafter, the floor of the first shed 10L will be referred to as the first floor, and the floor of the second shed 10R will be referred to as the second floor. The rear outer wall 11L of the first shed 1L will be referred to as the first rear outer wall 11L, and the rear outer wall 11R of the second shed 10R will be referred to as the second rear outer wall 11R. The right side outer wall 12L of the first shed 10L will be referred to as the first right side outer wall 12L, and the right side outer wall 12R of the second shed 10R will be referred to as the second right side outer wall 12R. The front outer wall of the first shed 10L will be referred to as the first front outer wall, and the front outer wall of the second shed 10R will be referred to as the second front outer wall. The left side outer wall 14L of the first shed 10L will be referred to as the first left side outer wall 14L, and the left side outer wall 14R of the second shed 10R will be referred to as the second left side outer wall 14R. The roof 15L of the first shed 10L is also referred to as the first roof 15L, and the roof 15R of the second shed 10R is also referred to as the second roof 15R.
[0043] The first right-side exterior wall 12L has an opening and a door 16L, such as a hinged door, a sliding door, or a double sliding door, installed in the opening. The door 16L is spaced rearward from the front edge of the first right-side exterior wall 12L and spaced forward from the rear edge of the first right-side exterior wall 12L. Specifically, the door 16L is disposed midway between the front and rear edges 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, a sliding door, or a double sliding door, installed in the opening. The door 16R is spaced rearward from the front edge of the second left side exterior wall 14R and spaced forward from the rear edge of the second left side exterior wall 14R. Specifically, the door 16R is located midway between the front and rear edges of the second left side exterior wall 14R.
[0045] Hereinafter, the door 16L will also be referred to as the first door 16L, and the door 16R will also be referred to as the second door 16R. Note that fittings other than doors, for example, French windows, may be installed in place of the doors 16L, 16R.
[0046] In both the first and second configurations, the trailer homes 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 form shown in Figures 1, 3, 5 and 6, the deck 30 is disposed 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 may be fixed to the ground. If the deck 30 is fixed to the ground, the fixation may be releasable.
[0049] The left end of deck 30 is close to the right end of the first chassis 2L, and the right end of deck 30 is close to the left end of the second chassis 2R, with the first chassis 2L, deck 30, and second chassis 2R lined up adjacent to each other in that order. The top of deck 30 is accessible from inside the first cabin 10L through the first door 16L, and is also accessible from inside the second cabin 10R through the second door 16R.
[0050] The height of the upper surface of the deck 30 is aligned with the height of the floors in the cabins 10L and 10R. Alternatively, a step may be formed between the upper surface of the deck 30 and the floors in the cabins 10L and 10R.
[0051] The deck 30 comprises a floor slab 31 and a plurality of legs. The legs are erected on the ground between the trailer houses 1L and 1R. The legs are simply placed on the ground or are fixed to the ground. When the legs are fixed to the ground, the fixation may be releasable. The floor slab 31 is fixed horizontally to the upper ends of the legs.
[0052] A staircase 33 may be provided from the ground to the edge of the deck 31. A handrail 34 may be erected on the edge of the deck 31. A table 35 may be placed or installed on the deck 31. A chair 36 may be placed or installed on the deck 31.
[0053] The front-to-rear length of the deck 30, i.e., the front-to-rear length of the floor slab 31, is shorter than the width of the doors 16L, 16R. The front-to-rear length of the deck 30 is shorter than the front-to-rear length of the cabins 10L, 10R. However, the front-to-rear length of the deck 30 may be longer than the front-to-rear length of the cabins 10L, 10R.
[0054] <5. Connecting Corridor> In the second form shown in Figures 2, 4, 7, and 8, a connecting corridor 300 is arranged 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 is 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 floors in the cabins 10L and 10R. Alternatively, a step may be formed between the upper surface of the connecting corridor 300 and the floors in the cabins 10L and 10R.
[0056] The length from front to back of the connecting corridor 300 is shorter than the length from front to back of the deck 30. The length from front to back of the connecting corridor 300 is approximately equal to the width of the doors 16L and 16R.
[0057] The connecting corridor 300 has a platform 301 that is bridged between the lower end of the right side of the first cabin 10L and the lower end of the left side of the second cabin 10R below the lower ends of the doors 16L and 16R, and a floorboard 302 laid on the platform 301. The platform 301 can be easily removed from the cabins 10L and 10R without tools. The floorboard 302 is detachable from the platform 301.
[0058] <6. Canopy and clamps> The accommodation facility further includes 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. When the accommodation facility is in the first configuration as shown in Figure 3, the canopy 40 is stretched out over the deck 30 and spans between the right side outer wall 12L of the first cabin 10L and the left side outer wall 14R of the second cabin 10R, as shown in Figures 3, 5, and 6. When the accommodation facility is in the second configuration as shown in Figures 4, 7, and 8, the canopy 40 forms an inverted U-shape so as to surround the space above the walkway 300 from above and on both sides, and spans between the right side outer wall 12L of the first cabin 10L and the left side outer wall 14R of the second cabin 10R. The shape of the canopy 40 shown in Figures 3, 5 and 6 is called a sunshade shape, and the shape of the canopy 40 shown in Figures 4, 7 and 8 is called an outer canopy shape. The sunshade shape is also called an awning shape, and the outer canopy shape is also called an outer hood shape.
[0059] The canopy 40 will be described in detail with reference to Figure 9. The canopy 40 has a sheet 49, connecting sheets 41L, 41R, and waterproof zippers 42L, 42R. The sheet 49 is rectangular, and the connecting sheets 41L, 41R are strip-shaped. The sheet 49 and the connecting sheets 41L, 41R are made of waterproof and light-blocking fabric, and prevent the passage of water and light. Note that the sheet 49 may be transparent and not have light-blocking properties.
[0060] The sheet 49 and the connecting sheets 41L, 41R may be water-repellent. In one example, the water-repellent properties of the sheet 49 and the connecting sheets 41L, 41R are achieved by applying a silicone-based or fluorine-based water-repellent agent to the sheet 49 and the connecting sheets 41L, 41R. In another example, the water-repellent properties of the sheet 49 and the connecting sheets 41L, 41R are achieved by having fine irregularities on the surfaces of the sheet 49 and the connecting sheets 41L, 41R. The material of the sheet 49 and the 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 waterproof zipper 42L, and the right end of sheet 49 is connected to the left end of connecting sheet 41L by waterproof zipper 42R. The waterproof zippers 42L, 42R are waterproof linear zippers. When the waterproof zipper 42L is opened, the sheet 49 is separated from the connecting sheet 41L. When the waterproof zipper 42L is closed, the sheet 49 is connected to the connecting sheet 41L. When the waterproof zipper 42R is opened, the sheet 49 is separated from the connecting sheet 41R. When the waterproof zipper 42R is closed, the sheet 49 is connected to the connecting sheet 41R.
[0062] The waterproof zipper 42L has a first row of teeth 43L provided at the right end of the connecting sheet 41L along the right end of the connecting sheet 41L, a second row 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 row of teeth 43L and the second row of teeth 44L and that engages and disengages the first row of teeth 43L and the second row of teeth 44L.
[0063] The waterproof zipper 42R has a third tooth row 43R provided at the left end of the connecting sheet 41R along the left edge of the connecting sheet 41R, a fourth tooth row 44R provided at the right end of the sheet 49 along the right edge of the sheet 49, and a second slider that is movable along the third tooth row 43R and the fourth tooth row 44R and that engages and disengages the third tooth row 43R and the fourth tooth row 44R.
[0064] The first interlocking tooth row 43L can be engaged not only with the second interlocking tooth row 44L but also with the third interlocking tooth row 43R. When the sheet 49 is separated from the connecting sheets 41L and 41R and the first interlocking tooth row 43L and the third interlocking tooth row 43R are engaged by the first slider or the second slider, the right end of the connecting sheet 41L is connected to the left end of the connecting sheet 41R.
[0065] In the case of the sunshade configuration, a sheet 49 is used, and the sheet 49 is connected to the connecting sheets 41L, 41R by waterproof fasteners 42L, 42R. In the case of the outer hood configuration, the sheet 49 is separated from the connecting sheets 41L, 41R, and the right end of the connecting sheet 41L is connected to the left end of the connecting sheet 41R by the first and third coupling tooth rows 43L, 43R.
[0066] As shown in Figure 5, in the sunshade configuration, the connecting sheet 41L is clamped between clamps 50L, 60L, and 70L, and is fixed to the right side outer 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. Clamp 50L is installed horizontally along the upper lateral edge of the opening through which the first door 16L is installed and is attached to the right side outer 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 outer 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 outer wall 12L of the first shed 10L.
[0067] As shown in Figure 7, in the outer hood configuration, the connecting sheet 41L is clamped between clamps 50L, 80L, and 90L and fixed to the right outer wall 12L of the first shed 10L so as to surround the first door 16L from above, front, and rear. Clamp 80L is provided vertically along the front vertical edge of the opening through which the first door 16L is provided and is attached to the right outer wall 12L of the first shed 10L. Clamp 90L is provided vertically along the rear vertical edge of the opening through which the first door 16L is provided and is attached to the right outer wall 12L of the first shed 10L.
[0068] The front portion of the connecting sheet 41L can be reversibly shifted from the clamping tool 60L to the clamping tool 80L, and the rear portion of the connecting sheet 41L can be reversibly shifted from the clamping tool 70L to the clamping tool 90L.
[0069] As shown in Figure 6, in the case of the sunshade configuration, the connecting sheet 41R is clamped by clamps 50R, 60R, and 70R, and 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. Clamp 50R is horizontally installed along the upper lateral edge of the opening through which the second door 16R is installed 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 hood configuration, the connecting sheet 41R is clamped by clamps 50R, 80R, and 90R, and is fixed to the left side outer wall 14R of the second cabin 10R so as to surround the second door 16R from the front, rear, and above. Clamp 80R is provided vertically along the front vertical edge of the opening through which the second door 16R is provided and is attached to the left side outer wall 14R of the second cabin 10R. Clamp 90R is provided vertically along the rear vertical edge of the opening through which the second door 16R is provided and is attached to the left side outer wall 14R of the second cabin 10R.
[0071] The front portion of the connecting sheet 41R can be reversibly shifted from the clamping tool 60R to the clamping tool 80R, and the rear portion of the connecting sheet 41R can be reversibly shifted from the clamping tool 70R to the clamping tool 90R.
[0072] Figure 10 is a cross-sectional view taken along line XX in Figure 5. The clamp 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 clamp 50L has a support member 51L, a support plate 52L, sealing materials 53L and 54L, and multiple fasteners 55L.
[0073] The support member 51L is made of a channel material formed in a grooved (C-shaped) shape. Specifically, the groove of the support member 51L faces the recessed portion 121L, and the support member 51L is fitted into the recessed portion 121L and fixed in the recessed portion 121L with adhesive or screws. A filler material such as resin, rubber, or mortar is filled in the recessed portion 121L around the support member 51L. A sealant 53L is attached to the support member 51L. The support plate 52L is provided in the shape of a strip, and a sealant 54L is attached to the support plate 52L. The support plate 52L is placed on the support member 51L in a position parallel to the left side of the first shed 10L, and the sealants 53L and 54L are sandwiched between the support plate 52L and the support member 51L. The connecting sheet 41L is sandwiched between the support member 51L and the support 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] A plurality of fasteners 55L fasten the sealant 54L and the support plate 52L toward the sealant 53L and the receiving material 51L. The fastener 55L is a bolt-nut assembly having a nut 56L and a bolt 57L. The nut 56L is received in a groove in the receiving material 51L and fixed to the receiving material 51L. The bolt 57L passes through the support plate 52L, the sealant 53L, the connecting sheet 41L, the sealant 54L, and the receiving material 51L and is screwed into the nut 56L. Holes through which the bolt 57L passes are formed in the connecting sheet 41L, the receiving material 51L, the support plate 52L, and the sealing materials 53L and 54L.
[0075] The components of the clamps 60L and 70L are the same as the components of the clamp 50L. The support members of the clamps 60L and 70L may be integral with or separate from the support member 51L of the clamp 50L. The support plates of the clamps 60L and 70L may be integral with or separate from the support member 51L of the clamp 50L. The sealant attached to the support members of the clamps 60L and 70L may be integral with or separate from the sealant 53L. The sealant attached to the support plates of the clamps 60L and 70L may be integral with or separate from the sealant 54L.
[0076] The portion of the connecting sheet 41L that is clamped by the clamping devices 50L, 60L, and 70L corresponds to the left end of the hood 40. The connecting sheet 41L that is clamped by the clamping devices 50L, 60L, and 70L protrudes downward from the clamping devices 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 clamping devices 50L, 60L, and 70L.
[0077] When fastener 55L of clamping tool 50L is loosened and bolt 57L is removed from nut 56L, support plate 52L is removed from receiving member 51L. Clamping tool 50L releases connecting sheet 41L, allowing connecting sheet 41L to be removed from clamping tool 50L. Similarly, when clamping tool 60L releases connecting sheet 41L, the front portion of connecting sheet 41L can be removed from clamping tool 60L, allowing the front portion of connecting sheet 41L to be clamped by clamping tool 80L. When clamping tool 70L releases connecting sheet 41L, the rear portion of connecting sheet 41L can be removed from clamping tool 70L, allowing the rear portion of connecting sheet 41L to be clamped by clamping tool 90L.

[0085] When the clamping tool 60R releases the clamping of the connecting sheet 41R, the front portion of the connecting sheet 41R can be removed from the clamping tool 60R, and the front portion of the connecting sheet 41R can be clamped by the clamping tool 80R. When the clamping tool 70R releases the clamping of the connecting sheet 41R, the rear portion of the connecting sheet 41R can be removed from the clamping tool 70R, and the rear portion of the connecting sheet 41R can be clamped by the clamping tool 90R.
[0086] When the clamping tool 80R releases the clamping of the connecting sheet 41R, the front portion of the connecting sheet 41R can be removed from the clamping tool 80R, and the front portion of the connecting sheet 41R can be clamped by the clamping tool 60R. When the clamping tool 90R releases the clamping of the connecting sheet 41R, the rear portion of the connecting sheet 41R can be removed from the clamping tool 90R, and the rear portion of the connecting sheet 41R can be clamped by the clamping tool 70R.
[0087] In the case of sunshade form, the connecting sheet 41L is fixed to the right side outer wall 12L of the first shed 10L by clamps 50L, 60L, and 70L, the connecting sheet 41R is fixed to the right side outer wall 12L of the first shed 10L by clamps 50R, 60R, and 70R, the left end of the sheet 49 is connected to the right end of the connecting sheet 41L by a waterproof fastener 42L, and the right end of the sheet 49 is connected to the right end of the connecting sheet 41R by a waterproof fastener 42R.
[0088] To transform the canopy 40 from the sunshade form to the outer canopy form, as shown in Figure 12, the sheet 49 is removed from the connecting sheets 41L, 41R, and the first trailer house 1L and the second trailer house 1R are moved closer to each other. As shown in Figures 13 and 14, the front portion of the connecting sheet 41L is clamped from the clamping tool 60L to the clamping tool 80L, and the rear portion of the connecting sheet 41L is clamped from the clamping tool 70L to the clamping tool 90L. As shown in Figure 15, the front portion of the connecting sheet 41R is clamped from the clamping tool 60R to the clamping tool 80R, and the rear portion of the connecting sheet 41R is clamped from the clamping tool 70R to the clamping tool 90R. The connecting sheet 41L is connected to the connecting sheet 41R by the first and third coupling tooth rows 43L and 43R.
[0089] In the outer canopy configuration, the connecting sheet 41L is fixed to the right side outer wall 12L of the first cabin 10L by clamps 50L, 80L, and 90L, and the connecting sheet 41R is fixed to the right side outer wall 12L of the first cabin 10L by clamps 50R, 80R, and 90R. The right end of the connecting sheet 41L is connected to the left end of the connecting sheet 41R by the first and third coupling tooth rows 43L and 43R. The connecting sheets 41L and 41R form an inverted U-shape so as to surround the space above the connecting corridor 300 from the front, back, and top. The connecting sheets 41L and 41R protrude from the lower ends of the clamps 80L and 80R, and the protruding portions are folded back under the floorboards 302 of the connecting corridor 300. The protruding portions are secured to the connecting corridor 300 by being sandwiched between the floorboards 302 of the connecting corridor 300 and the erected structure. Connecting sheets 41L, 41R protrude from the lower ends of clamps 90L, 90R, and the protruding portions are folded back under floorboard 302 of connecting corridor 300. The protruding portions are fastened to connecting corridor 300 by being sandwiched between floorboard 302 of connecting corridor 300 and the erected body.
[0090] When transforming the canopy 40 from the outer canopy form to the sunshade form, the connecting sheet 41L is separated from the connecting sheet 41R by opening the waterproof zipper consisting of the first and third tooth rows 43L and 43R. The first trailer house 1L and the second trailer house 1R are separated from each other. The front part of the connecting sheet 41L is clamped from the clamping tool 80L to the clamping tool 60L, and the rear part of the connecting sheet 41L is clamped from the clamping tool 90L to the clamping tool 70L. The front part of the connecting sheet 41R is clamped from the clamping tool 80R to the clamping tool 60R, and the rear part of the connecting sheet 41R is clamped from the clamping tool 90R to the clamping tool 70R. The left end of the sheet 49 is connected to the right end of the connecting sheet 41L by the waterproof zipper 42L, and the right end of the sheet 49 is connected to the right end of the connecting sheet 41R by the waterproof zipper 42R.
[0091] The dashed lines in FIG. 9 represent valley folds when the canopy 40 is in the outer canopy configuration. The dotted-dash lines in FIG. 9 represent mountain folds when the canopy 40 is in the outer canopy configuration. As shown in FIG. 9, a valley fold 411 is formed in the connecting sheet 41L parallel to the arrangement direction of the first coupling tooth row 43L. A portion 414 to the left of the valley fold 411 is clamped by the clamping tools 50L, 60L, 70L or the clamping tools 50L, 80L, 90L. A portion to the right of the valley fold 411 protrudes from the clamping tools 50L, 60L, 70L or the clamping tools 50L, 80L, 90L. The portion to the right of the valley fold 411 is divided into three portions 415, 416, 417 by mountain folds 412, 413 that are perpendicular to the valley fold 411. In the case of the outer hood configuration, portion 415 between mountain crease 412 and mountain crease 413 is stretched almost horizontally above the connecting corridor 300, and portions 416, 417 on either side of portion 415 are provided almost vertically on both sides of the connecting corridor 300. Of portion 414 to the left of valley crease 411, portion 418 adjacent to portion 415 between mountain crease 412 and mountain crease 413 is clamped by clamping tool 50L. Of portion 414 to the left of valley crease 411, portion 419 adjacent to portion 416 is clamped by clamping tool 60L or clamping tool 80L. Of portion 414 to the left of valley crease 411, portion 420 adjacent to portion 417 is clamped by clamping tool 70L or clamping tool 90L. A gusset 422 is formed between a portion 418 sandwiched by clamping tool 50L and a portion 419 sandwiched by clamping tool 60L or clamping tool 80L. A gusset 423 is formed between a portion 418 sandwiched by clamping tool 50L and a portion 420 sandwiched by clamping tool 70L or clamping tool 90L.
[0092] Fig. 16 is a perspective view showing the folded state of gusset 422. Fig. 17 is a perspective view showing the intermediate state of gusset 422 as it transforms from the folded state to the unfolded state or vice versa. Fig. 18 is a perspective view showing the unfolded state of gusset 422. As shown in Figure 16, in the awning configuration, gusset 422 is folded into a triangle, more specifically, a right-angled isosceles triangle, by folds 422a and 422b. Fold 422a extends from mountain fold 412 to portion 414, and fold 422b intersects folds 411, 412, and 422a at a 45° angle to these folds. As shown in Figure 18, in the outer hood configuration, gusset 422 is unfolded into a rectangle, more specifically, a square.
[0093] In the case of the awning configuration, the gusset 423 is folded into a right-angled isosceles triangle similar to the gusset 422. In the case of the outer hood configuration, the gusset 423 is unfolded into a square shape.
[0094] As shown in Fig. 9, the connecting sheet 41R is also formed with gussets 442, 443. In the sunshade form, the gussets 442, 443 are folded into a right-angled isosceles triangle, and in the outer hood form, the gussets 442, 443 are unfolded into a square shape.
[0095] The gussets 422, 423, 442, 443 may not be folded and unfolded, but may be stretchable like rubber or elastomer. In the awning form, the gussets 422, 423, 442, 443 contract, and in the outer hood form, the gussets 422, 423, 442, 443 extend.
[0096] In the above embodiment, when the canopy 40 is in the form of an outer canopy, the sheet 49 is detached from the connecting sheets 41L, 41R. However, the sheet 49 does not have to be detached from the connecting sheets 41L, 41R. In this case, the overall length of the connecting corridor 300 is longer than in the above embodiment, and the connecting corridor 300 is bridged between the first cabin 10L and the second cabin 10R under the first door 16L and the second door 16R. The sheet 49 is in an inverted U-shape, and the lower end of the sheet 49 is folded back under the floor board 302 of the connecting corridor 300 and fastened to the connecting corridor 300.
[0097] <7. Summary> (1) The canopy 40 is hung between the first right side outer wall 12L of the first cabin 10L and the left side outer wall 14R of the second cabin 10R, and in the case of the sunshade configuration, the canopy 40 is stretched over the doors 16L, 16R provided on the outer walls 12L, 14R, respectively, so that the area above the deck 30 is protected from sunlight and rain over a wide area by the canopy 40. People can go out onto the deck 30 from the first cabin 10L or the second cabin 10R and live outdoors.
[0098] (2) In the outer sail configuration, the canopy 40 encloses the space between the first door 16L and the second door 16R from above and both sides, so the area above the walkway 300 is protected from wind, rain, and light from the side by the canopy 40. When a person moves from the first cabin 10L through the walkway 300 to the second cabin 10R, the person is shielded from rain, sunlight, and the outside air.
[0099] (3) The canopy 40 can be used in a wide range of applications because it can be used either as a sunshade or as an outer canopy.
[0100] (4) The first upper clamping tool 50L and the first horizontal clamping tools 60L, 70L are attached to the first right outer wall 12L, and the canopy 40 is clamped by the first upper clamping tool 50L and the first horizontal clamping tools 60L, 70L, so that the canopy 40 is fixed to the first right outer wall 12L and there is no gap between the first right outer wall 12L and the canopy 40. The lack of a gap between the first right outer wall 12L and the canopy 40 prevents sunlight from shining in and rainwater from passing through underneath the canopy 40. Similarly, the second upper clamping tool 50R and the second horizontal clamping tools 60R, 70R contribute to fixing the canopy 40 to the second left outer wall 14R and also contribute to eliminating any gap between the second left outer wall 14R and the canopy 40. When the canopy 40 is stretched between the first upper clamping tool 50L and the first horizontal clamping tools 60L, 70L and the second upper clamping tool 50R and the second horizontal clamping tools 60R, 70R, the canopy 40 takes on a sheltering form.
[0101] (5) When the canopy 40 is shifted from the first horizontal clamps 60L, 70L to the first vertical clamps 80L, 90L and from the second horizontal clamps 60R, 70R to the second vertical clamps 80R, 90R, the canopy 40 assumes the outer canopy configuration. Even in the outer canopy configuration, there is no gap between the first right-side outer wall 12L and the canopy 40, and there is no gap between the second left-side outer wall 14R and the canopy 40, preventing sunlight from entering the inside of the canopy 40 and rainwater from passing through.
[0102] (6) When the first connecting sheet 41L is sandwiched between the first upper clamping tool 50L and the first horizontal clamping tools 60L, 70L, the second connecting sheet 41R is sandwiched between the second upper clamping tool 50R and the second horizontal clamping tools 60R, 70R, the first interlocking tooth row 43L and the second interlocking tooth row 44L engage with each other, and the third interlocking tooth row 43R and the fourth interlocking tooth row 44R engage with each other, the canopy 40 assumes the sunshade form. When the first connecting sheet 41L is transferred from the first horizontal clamping tools 60L, 70L to the first vertical clamping tools 80L, 90L and the second connecting sheet 41R is transferred from the second horizontal clamping tools 60R, 70R to the second vertical clamping tools 80R, 90R, the canopy 40 assumes the outer canopy form.
[0103] (7) When the first and second coupling tooth rows 43L and 44L are disengaged, the sheet 49 is separated from the first connecting sheet 41L, and the first connecting sheet 41L hangs down under its own weight. The first connecting sheet 41L fits along the first right side outer wall 12L of the first shed 10L, so the first connecting sheet 41L does not get in the way.
[0104] (8) When the third and fourth tooth rows 43R and 44R are disengaged, the sheet 49 is separated from the second connecting sheet 41R, and the second connecting sheet 41R hangs down under its own weight. The second connecting sheet 41R fits 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 sheet 49 is separated from both the first connecting sheet 41L and the second connecting sheet 41R, the sheet 49 can be stored.
[0106] (10) When the gap between the first right-side outer wall 12L of the first cabin 10L and the second left-side outer wall 14R of the second cabin 10R is narrow, the sheet 49 is separated from both the first connecting sheet 41L and the second connecting sheet 41R, and the first interlocking tooth row 43L engages with the third interlocking tooth row 43R, connecting the first connecting sheet 41L to the second connecting sheet 41R. Therefore, the hood 40 is adjusted to the gap between the first right-side outer wall 12L and the second left-side outer wall 14R. Conversely, when the gap between the first right-side outer wall 12L of the first cabin 10L and the second left-side outer wall 14R of the second cabin 10R is wide, the sheet 49 is connected to the first connecting sheet 41L and the second connecting sheet 41R, so the hood 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 is sandwiched between the first vertical clamps 80L, 90L, and the second connecting sheet 41R is released from the second horizontal clamps 60R, 70R and is sandwiched between the second vertical clamps 80R, 90R, the canopy 40 assumes the outer canopy configuration. In this case, since the sheet 49 has been removed, the canopy 40 in the 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 is sandwiched between the first horizontal clamps 60L, 70L, and the second connecting sheet 41R is released from the second vertical clamps 80R, 90R and is sandwiched between the second horizontal clamps 60R, 70R, the canopy 40 assumes the sunshade configuration. In this case, since the sheet 49 is attached, the awning-shaped canopy 40 is adjusted to the gap 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 the first gussets 422, 423, when the first connecting sheet 41L is transferred from the first horizontal clamping tools 60L, 70L to the first vertical clamping tools 80L, 90L, the first gussets 422, 423 are expanded, thereby preventing leakage of rainwater and the like.
[0109] (13) Since the second connecting sheet 41R has the second gussets 442, 443, when the second connecting sheet 41R is transferred from the second horizontal clamping tools 60R, 70R to the second vertical clamping tools 80R, 90R, the second gussets 442, 443 are expanded, thereby preventing leakage of rainwater and the like.
[0110] (14) The first trailer house 1L can be transported because the first cabin 10L is installed on the first chassis 2L. The second trailer house 1R can be transported because the second cabin 10R is installed on the second chassis 2R.
[0111] (15) 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 sheds 10L and 10R are wooden houses, then trailer homes 1L and 1R, which contain sheds 10L and 10R, respectively, 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).
[0112] (16) The above-disclosed embodiments have been made for the purpose of illustration and example only, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention, which should be interpreted by the terms of the claims. [Explanation of symbols]
