Foldable enclosure members joined by hinged I-beam
An enclosure member for a building structure comprising a planar laminate having a first facing layer; a layer of foam having a first face and a second opposing face; and a second facing layer; where the first facing layer is fastened to the first face of the layer of foam, and the second facing layer is fastened to the second opposing face of the layer of foam. An edge of the enclosure is provided with a perimeter structure that can perform one or more of a sealing function, an edge reinforcement function and a pivotable joining function with another enclosure, in accordance with the particular embodiment.
MISSION CONFIGURABLE SHELTER WITH ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE (EMI) PROTECTION
A portable shelter with electromagnetic interference (EMI) protection includes a plurality of walls that define an interior space. The walls can be fixed or movable. An EMI protected edge connector joins at least two of the walls together. The EMI protected edge connector assembly can be fixed or hinged. The edge connector can include a metallic outer edge member with two legs and a separate metallic inner edge member with two legs to define an edge channel therebetween with: (i) the first outer leg and the first inner leg are arranged parallel and spaced-apart relative to each other; and (ii) the second outer leg and the second inner leg arranged parallel and spaced-apart relative to each other. The shelter walls can include an inner surface covered by a metallic foil inner layer. A first wall panel is received in a first portion of the edge channel with its metallic foil inner layer contacting the inner edge member and a second wall panel is received in a second portion of the edge channel with it metallic foil inner layer contacting the inner edge member.
Compactible and foldable Drop shop building
A portable building formed from transportation containers that are unloaded and connected together to form modular building units. The building units have roof parts that unfold to connect to one another, to form a building, with openings, and with a roof, sized according to a number of modular units that have been attached together.
Perimeter Structures for Joining Abutting Enclosure Components
An enclosure member for a building structure comprising a planar laminate having a first facing layer; a layer of foam having a first face and a second opposing face; and a second facing layer; where the first facing layer is fastened to the first face of the layer of foam, and the second facing layer is fastened to the second opposing face of the layer of foam. An edge of the enclosure is provided with a perimeter structure that can perform one or more of a sealing function, an edge reinforcement function and a pivotable joining function with another enclosure, in accordance with the particular embodiment.
Prefabricated, movable, photosensitive, solar landscape pavilion capable of being disassembled and constructed quickly
The disclosure relates to a prefabricated movable photosensitively adjustable solar bionic landscape pavilion capable of being disassembled and constructed quickly. The landscape pavilion comprises a support structure, a ceiling, a movable platform, a linkage system, a lighting system, and an energy system. The support structure is arranged at the center of the movable platform and forms large-area shelter space with the ceiling. The ceiling may rotate around the support structure in the height direction of the support structure, so as to be unfolded or folded. The movable platform is a base of the landscape pavilion, undertakes the support structure and the ceiling above the movable platform, and meanwhile, provides fixing space for the linkage system, the lighting system, and the energy system.
Foldable Building Structures with Utility Channels and Laminate Enclosures
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.
Window for expandable shelter
An expandable shelter includes a ceiling panel that unfolds from a top, a floor panel that unfolds from a bottom, a flexible sidewall having a first end coupled to the ceiling panel and a second end coupled to the floor panel. The flexible sidewall further includes a window disposed in the sidewall, and a shade to cover the window. The shade is configured to transition between a closed state and an open state. A first line and a second line couple to the shade, extend between an interior of the expandable shelter and an exterior of the expandable shelter, and are usable to transition the shade between the closed state and the open state.
Expandable Portable Shelter and Structures of Multiple Expandable Portable Shelters
A multicon structure comprising six or twelve expandable portable shelters (EPSs) characterized by equal depth dimensions extending in the direction of the structure length, and each EPS having two faces that are transverse to the structure length. Each EPS comprises two sets of panels, each set of panels including a floor panel, a ceiling panel, side panels, and an end panel. Each set of panels folding out from a corresponding face. Each EPS may be characterized by a depth that is a unit fractional amount of an intermodal shipping container length. Each EPS having corner post assemblies comprising a tubular stiffening structure, a hinge mount feature, and a panel interface feature. The outer panel having a gasket positioned such that, when the EPS is in a collapsed state, a watertight seal is formed between the gasket and the panel interface feature.
SECURE AND MOBILE RETAIL STRUCTURE
A secure and mobile retail structure for securely storing and selling restricted access products is provided. In one embodiment, a vault wall located between a first end wall and a second end wall dividing the interior volume, from the vault wall to the first end wall, into a vault area for securely storing therein the restricted access products, and, from the vault wall to the second end wall, into a service area for serving customers. The vault wall comprises a secure access doorway to provide restricted access to the vault area from the service area. In some embodiments, the structure compromises one or more passive mobility means operable to be used for moving said structure from one location to another location. In some embodiments, the structure is integrated into a motorized vehicle.
Shipping Container Expansion Insert
An expansion insert for converting an ISO shipping container into a housing unit is provided, the insert having a compacted form reversibly convertible to a expanded form. The insert has a frame assembly torsionally hinged to a roof assembly and a floor assembly. Two pivot walls and a sidewall are also built into the insert. The insert may be compacted for shipping, expanded after insertion into an ISO container, and compacted again on the ISO container.
