Mission configurable shelter

A lightweight transportable containerized shelter includes wall panels made of a non-metal composite material coated at least on its inner face with a metal layer for EMI protection. The several wall panels are secured to a metal structural frame without the use of fasteners so as to define a containerized transportable shelter. The shelter meets ISO standards 668 and 1496. The shelter provides a continuous barrier to electromagnetic signals. Moreover, the containerized shelter is amenable to nine high stacking as required for ISO certification.

Modular housing system

The invention is directed broadly to a modular housing system having a structural framework comprising an internal chassis as a core structural element, the internal chassis including: a first ladder frame that defines a base; four columns at least two being extendable columns; and a second ladder frame engaged to the first ladder frame via the four columns, such that at least one of a distance and an angle between the first ladder frame and the second ladder frame is adjustable to define a usable volume of the structural framework.

Innovation In Modular Structures
20230147866 · 2023-05-11 ·

A fast, flexible, and affordable structural building solution is disclosed. Current construction methodologies are prohibitively costly, slow, and wasteful. This construction method provides responsive and adaptive short to long term structural solutions. A reconfigurable flat packed modular structure can be shipped, assembled, and move-in ready in a fraction of the time of standard structural solutions. This system is easy to assemble and reusable with decreased maintenance costs and utilizes standardized shipping infrastructure. The structural elements are designed to build flexible residential, commercial, and industrial spaces. Component standardization reduces construction and maintenance cost over traditional building methods. The ease of construction reduces the learning curve for the assembly process. Embedded utilities in the components further minimize construction time. The modular nature of the design system allows for rapid assembly, disassembly, and redeployment as needed. Components are specifically built to ship using standard shipping containers for optimal organization of components and transportation.

Building system

A building system that includes a modular panel with side members, at least one of the side members having an associated coupling for hooked connection with a corresponding shaped fixture of an adjacent structure, the coupling and fixture being adapted to be held together by a locking device that, when engaged, acts to lock the structure and the side member together and, when disengaged, allows for play between the panel and structure in order to free the panel from the structure.

GABLE ASSEMBLY FOR USE WITH A MODULAR WATERCRAFT LIFT COVER
20170284081 · 2017-10-05 ·

A gable assembly is for use with a modular watercraft lift cover. The gable assembly covers the watercraft when the watercraft is secured to a mooring, the gable assembly having a truss-like configuration, the gable assembly being secured to the mooring, the gable assembly being supportable by only one cantilever, when the gable assembly extends beyond the mooring. The gable assembly has a robust, lightweight design that is compatible and adjustable for width, height and length as the boat owner modifies his existing boat or purchases a new boat, and that will protect the watercraft from the elements and will withstand even the severest of storms, undamaged as well as having the ability to be cantilevered. The gable assembly is easy for the user to assemble and adjust on square lake style boat lifts, and the typically non-square tidal lifts.

Corner Assembly for a Portable Shelter
