Transformation of shipping containers to two level buildings

An extendable two story building is packaged within the standard dimensions of an intermodal container. An upper floor is supported above a lower floor. A five-sided lid is raised and locked to provide a second story. The lid is lowered and locked on a base in a down position. The lowered lid is fully enclosed so that no door is accessible and the interior of the building is secure during storage and transportation.

TRANSPORTABLE, RECONFIGURABLE HARSH ENVIRONMENT WORKSPACE

Disclosed is an example of a movable workspace configured to operate in a harsh environment. The exemplary movable workspace includes a primary compartment and a deployable expansion compartment. The primary compartment may have a primary workspace, and at least one primary connection point adapted to releasably secure work equipment within the primary workspace. The deployable expansion compartment may have an expansion workspace, and at least one expansion connection point adapted to secure the work equipment within the expansion workspace. The movable workspace may include a movement component to facilitate movement of the movable workspace either on its own or with assistance from a transport vehicle. The movable workspace is configured to be transported in a transport state in which the expansion workspace meshes with the primary workspace. Upon delivery at a work site, the expansion workspace extends from the primary workspace to place the movable workspace in a work state.

MULTI-STAGE CAMPING HOUSE

The present invention relates to a camping house having an expandable camping space and, more specifically, to a multi-stage camping house capable of expanding a living space by withdrawing an auxiliary chamber that is in a main chamber in which the living space is formed, and coupling an auxiliary support supporting the auxiliary chamber to a main support supporting the main chamber to be foldable, and thus, the volume can be minimized so as to improve convenience in transportation, and installation of the multi-stage camping house can be carried out simply.

Telescopic structural systems and construction method
09739048 · 2017-08-22 ·

A telescoping barrier assembly provides interlocking modules coupled together so as to slide vertically with respect to the other. The modules telescopically extend to a deployed position to form a barrier that withstands inertial and the external forces, and then retracts to a collapsed position. The modules include a base module and a plurality of deployable modules that are arranged in a nested configuration, such that each module slides in and out of an adjacent module. The base module has a mounting portion that may be subterranean. A lifting mechanism applies an axial force to the deployable modules to enable displacement between the operational and collapsed position. Spring biased lateral support members help the deployable modules remain in the extended position and a pulley system helps displace the modules to the collapsed position. An inner and outer seal inhibit liquid leakage between the module and between multiple adjacent assemblies.

A convertible shipping container includes one or more slots arranged on at least one longitudinal wall, a set of deployable panels mounted to freely slide through the plurality of slots so as to define at least one additional room adjacent to the container and an extension block coaxially arranged inside the container and mounted to freely longitudinally slide at one end of the container. The container is convertible between a first configuration, called retracted configuration, in which the set of deployable panels, as well as the movable extension block, are respectively in the retracted position and are contained in the container, and a second configuration, called deployed configuration, in which the set of deployable panels and/or the movable extension block are deployed outside the container.

Modular and reconfigurable building structures
12571200 · 2026-03-10 ·

A modular and reconfigurable building structure designed to enhance resilience against severe weather and environmental challenges. The system includes a central structure anchored to a foundation, providing stability and defining a primary living space. Movable building units are coupled to the central structure and configured to transition between a deployed configuration, expanding the building footprint, and a collapsed configuration, reducing the footprint for increased protection. The movable units can include pivotable structures and/or retractable structures. One or more folding wall panels connected by hinges can be provided as well as support elements and locking mechanisms to ensure stability during deployment.
