An anchor pier for supporting a manufactured building, in which the anchor pier includes having a shaft with a connector and a helical flight proximate a driving tip, with a brace member attached to the connector and to the manufactured building with a connector, to transfer loading between the manufactured building and the ground. A method of supporting a manufactured building is disclosed.

Transportable and rapidly deployable air supported structure systems and related methods are disclosed. The air supported structure systems include at least one transportable container. The systems also include a flexible outer membrane configured to couple to a base in a substantially air-tight manner. The systems further include at least one air handling mechanism contained within the at least one container configured to force air between the outer membrane and the base to form an enclosure therebetween via internal air pressure. The systems are configurable between a packaged state with the outer membrane contained within the at least one container, and a deployed state with the outer membrane being coupled to the base and the at least one air handling mechanism forming the enclosure via the internal air pressure. The at least one container may form a portion of the base and/or provide for ingress and egress with the enclosure.

An adaptive support supports an expandable mobile house during and after expansion thereof. The adaptive support can be used on modular house to serve as support when deployed. The mechanism includes a static support beam and two support wheel that can be used interchangeably. The adaptive support can also be manufactured without the wheels when the house only needs static support. The mechanism can be retracted so it does not hinder the transportation of the mobile house. The adaptive support can adapt to an uneven terrain. A pressure sensor embedded in the support allows it to nullify the bumps on the ground during expansion of a mobile house using the wheels as support. A gyroscope sensor can be used to balance the house to be flat on sloped ground. If deployed on an artificial flat surface, the adapting system can be deactivated so it serves like a regular support beam.

An expandable kiosk structure with a front face, a rear face, a first side structural unit and a second side structural unit arranged such that the front face and rear face are parallel and connect the first and second side structural units to form a box shaped structure that is expandable from a collapsed form an expanded form in which the front face, the rear face, and the first and second side structural units define an interior workspace in the box shaped structure. The front and rear faces each have an outwardly extendable portion that is hingeably or pivotally foldable onto a remaining portion of the front or rear face. Rolling mechanisms are disposed bottom corners and extendable brackets are disposed at the top corners connecting to a shading unit supported by a shading unit support structure. Front and rear shelf units are hingeably attached to the front and rear faces. One or more extendable chassis brackets extend along the length of the top and bottom edges of the front and rear faces to permit expansion of the first and second side structural units. The front face chassis bracket is strongly connected to a perpendicular revolving rod handle (trailer coupler) that aids in maneuvering the kiosk prior to attachment to or subsequent to detachment from its towing vehicle as well as during towing.

A packaged container housing structure includes a container box frame of rectangular configuration defining an interior space and an open top, closed bottom, opposite right and left open sides and opposite open ends, a top roof mounted on the container box frame and movable toward and away from the open top to close and open access of air flow into the interior space, coupling fittings integrated at top cover corners to enable lifting the packaged container housing structure, a plurality of deployable panels including wall panels, ceiling panels and floor panels stored in the interior space of the container box frame, and support feet attachable to the floor panels and container box frame being adjustable in length independent of one another so as to position the container box frame in a level orientation relative upon a mounting site.

A collapsible sun shelter that includes an arch support and a rollable flat mat that is configured to expand to include a canopy section and further includes a floor area portion, an upwardly deployable area portion at least two mat anchor points and at least two arch support openings. The rollable mat has an upwardly deployable area portion defined by an outer perimeter passing through at least one layer of the rollable flat mat such that the upwardly deployable area portion remains connected with the floor area portion when the upwardly deployable area portion is extended upwardly in a deployed configuration.

An expandable shade and shelter system that includes an expandable grid structure of reversibly expandable cells in a two-dimensional grid configured to collapse to a rectangular cuboid with a top surface, an anchored bottom, an anchored first end, an expandable second end, and two expandable sides. The system includes a connecting device fixed at corners of the top surface and/or the expandable second end of the structure, a vertically oriented support structure having a top and bottom ends, where the expandable grid structure is configured to expand upwardly from the second end and inwardly towards the top of the vertically oriented support structure, while the anchored first end remains anchored, to connect the connecting device to the top of the vertically oriented support structure to form a three dimensional shelter.

An expanded kiosk and kiosk system that is collapsible and deployable by expansion and contraction. The kiosk includes a lighting system adapted to provide a light characteristic to the kiosk and represent a lamp post or light post for public or private spaces. Deployment of the kiosk includes moving first and second vertically-oriented structural units away from one another such that one or more of a canopy, a working surface and/or a front-facing surface are fully deployed and the canopy surface and working surface are substantially parallel to one another.
