A device for eliminating auditory and visual distractions for the user. The device is adjustable and features walls comprised of fabric to accomplish its design goal. Extendable poles provide the structure for the device. The tent-like device can quickly expand into its useful position. The device can also quickly collapse. The device can be stored in a storage container for simple transportation.

A mobile truck body has a first panel extending forward from the front of a right side truck body panel and a second panel extending rearward from the rear of the right side truck body panel. The first and second panels extend the display area of the right side truck body panel. An upper panel and/or a lower panel are also provided at the right side truck body panel to provide access to an interior space of the truck body for showcasing products or services, and a lower platform is provided to facilitate customer ingress and egress into and out of the showcase.

A house structure is initially folded into a small box-like configuration for easy shipment and can expand both horizontally and vertically to form a traditional one-floor house-like configuration with inclined roofing. Parts of the front and rear walls are folded and stacked with ends of the main structure to save space in the width of the folded structure. Parts of the floor panels are vertically stacked with the sidewalls. These moveable floor parts are linked with the sidewalls and the middle floor panel through designed connection blocks. When the sidewalls are pushed outward, the floor panel will gradually slide and lay down. After setting up the sidewall and floor framework, the roof subassembly can be driven upward and rotate outward its set of wall wedge panels to encapsulate the opening area due to the inclined roof profile and offer support for the roof panels which are linked via connection blocks.

A transport assembly for a shipping module which has a chassis; a towing element secured to the chassis; two opposed wheels mounted on the chassis; a support assembly secured to the chassis and configured to be positioned in a mating relationship with a shipping module proximate to a lower transverse edge of the shipping module; means for removably securing the support assembly to a shipping module; and a displacement actuator secured between the chassis and the cradle, said displacement actuator for varying the ground clearance of a shipping module when secured to the support assembly.

A wall component and other components for a building structure wherein the wall component has a spanning beam spanning the length of the wall component, one or more structural column assemblies positioned between the spanning beam and a floor plate which are structured to carry structural weights and loads received from the spanning beam. The structural column assemblies are separated by a longitudinal distance so as to define an intercolumnar region which is greater than a width of a member selected from the group consisting of a door assembly and a window assembly, and there is an exterior panel fastened between the first and second structural column assemblies that defines a generally continuous and uninterrupted planar surface over the intercolumnar region.

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.

A foldable building structure is provided that includes a fixed space portion including a first floor portion, a first ceiling portion, a first wall portion rigidly secured to the first floor portion and the first ceiling portion. The foldable building structure includes a second wall portion which is movable between a folded position and a deployed position, and a third wall portion which movable between a folded position and a deployed position. The second and third wall portions when in their deployed positions form with the first wall portion a first wall component of the foldable building structure. The second wall portion is capable of being moved between the folded position and the deployed position without moving the third wall portion between the folded position and the deployed position.

A transportable structure having a roof section which is moveable between a collapsed configuration and an erected configuration is disclosed. In the collapsed configuration, panels of the roof section rest on the structure so as to bear down against at least one wall of the structure. In the erected configuration, panels of the roof section converge upwardly to form a gabled roof covering the structure. Method of transporting and erecting the structure at a site is also disclosed.

The invention provides a farm from a box system and at least one container that includes all components and tools required to assist communities in being able to conduct agricultural activities in order to provide sufficient food for or for other off-grid localized food production, e.g., for schools, correctional facilities, etc. The at least one container is provided in a compact form for shipping to locations where needed and provides the necessary tools, agricultural supplies, power and irrigation to facilitate growth of sustainable crops. The invention also provides a method of use of the systems and containers described herein for assisting people in farming activities conducted outside of the containers, thus enabling the system owner to successfully and efficiently conduct organic and small scale farming.
