An assembly for sealing a space between a secondary structure movable into and out of a primary structure includes a base member mountable to an outer surface of the secondary structure and a flange member. The flange member includes a main flange portion and a coupling portion extending from the main flange portion. The main flange portion includes a first portion and a second portion. The second portion is on the opposite side of the coupling portion from the first portion. The coupling portion is couplable to the base member such that the first portion is adjacent a rear wall of the secondary structure and the second portion extends beyond the outer surface of the secondary structure when the coupling portion is coupled to the base member. The second portion is configured to engage an interior surface of the primary structure when the secondary structure is in the extended position.

An installation for covering and uncovering a surface includes a series of slats of adjustable inclination supported by pivot pins via a set having a first carriage and a second carriage. A movement system has, for each head slat, movement motors on board the first and second carriages. For the even-numbered slats, firstly a retractable coupling (A) is fastened between the first carriage of said slat and the first carriage belonging to the head slat or to the neighboring slat of lower number, and secondly a drive system (S) is provided for driving the second carriage of said slat in translation. For each odd-numbered slat that is present, a retractable coupling (A) is fastened between the second carriage of said slat and the second carriage belonging to the neighboring slat of lower number, and a drive system (S) is provided for driving the first carriage of said slat in translation.

The invention relates to a unit for covering and uncovering a surface using adjustable slats (3), comprising: for each slat (3), a set of two carriages (10.sub.1, 10.sub.2) guided in translation along guide tracks (8); a system (II) for moving the slats (3), comprising two movement motors (12) for each carriage pair (10.sub.1, 10.sub.2) equipping a slat, each motor being mounted in a different carriage; a system (I) for orientating the slats (3), comprising at least one orientation motor (14) for each carriage pair equipping a slat, said at least one motor being mounted in at least one of the carriages; and a control device for moving at least part of the slats in translation and orientating said slats.

A floating vessel modular protection and security device includes a stationary bowed frame configured to be positioned over a floating vessel, the stationary frame and a moveable bowed frame. A stationary flexible cover extends from one end to the other end of the stationary bowed frame, covering stationary crossbeams. The stationary flexible cover having a length from end to end that is shorter than a length of the floating vessel. A moveable flexible cover extends from one end to the other end of the moveable bowed frame, covering the movable bowed frame crossbeams. The movable bowed frames slides on the upper moveable frame track and lower stationary frame track simultaneously to repeatedly retract and deploy to access or secure a floating vessel.

System for moving a retractable roof consisting of aligned movable trusses that move on two parallel guide rails by means of runners arranged on the side posts of the said trusses, and where the trusses are joined together by a tarpaulin, where the retraction system has the particularity that each runner consists of two side walls facing each other, and between these walls there are rows of grooved wheels fixed at two different heights; each guide rail comprises an upper curved surface on its upper side, and a lower curved surface on its lower side; where the runner runs along and is kept in contact with the guide rail by the wheels of the upper row being in contact with the upper curved surface of the guide rail, and by the wheels of the lower row being in contact with the lower curved surface of the guide rail.

A mobile house construction (1) is easy to move with strong mobility; (2) has a high folding ratio, providing a good living experience; (3) has a simple structure and is easy to drive; (4) permits for the entire device to be factory manufactured; and (5) provides a standardization of structure, thus reducing costs. The home construction includes a main body structure and a folding mechanism. The main body mechanism is the main load-bearing structure of the mobile house, which is connected to the folding mechanism. The main structure includes a floor, a water tank, an engine, a bathroom, a kitchen, a door, a window, a load-bearing column, a load-bearing beam, and the like, and can further include several pieces of furniture. The folding mechanism can expand the internal space of the mobile house, including the left side folding mechanism, the right-side folding mechanism and the top folding mechanism.

An expandable house that has a roof that can be adjusted to a set angle. The house can be expanded to more than three times the space as compared to its original size when it is extended. The unique design in the method of making an expandable house is that the roof is very flexible, so it can be angled whenever it is required. When the house is retracted, the roof is stored on the side of the house, so the height of the house can be reduced in its compact form. This house can expand in two opposite directions. The walls and floors of the expandable rooms are stored on the sides of the main structure where the house expands, behind the stored roof. The entire expanding and retracting processes are aided with electric motors, so no manual labor is required.

The invention relates to a console with the aid of which large roofs and facade elements can be horizontally or vertically retracted.

The present disclosure relates to a building structure having a convertible roof with at least one moveable roof section. The moveable roof section can include an integrated overhang. The moveable roof section can also include a roller that rides on a track formed by an angle member. The convertible roof can further have a configuration that reduces rafter visibility.

An automatic double angle motorized roof system that is applicable to restaurants, arbores, buildings, and so forth, which can be opened and can be installed to roofs. It can be used in all roof applications.
