CONSTRUCTION SYSTEM FOR BUILDING A MODULE OF A DWELLING
A construction system for a module of a dwelling the main elements of which are made of plastic material includes a set of hollow profiled beams (1, 1) of elongate rectilinear shape of type 1 and of type 2. The beams (1, 1) include at each end (5, 5) a transverse passage opening (6, 6). The transverse passage opening (6) of a beam (1) of type 1 comes to be nested with the transverse passage opening (6) of a beam (1) of type 2 when the two beams (1, 1) are assembled end to end at a right angle leaving a passage opening (6, 6) between the two ends (5, 5) of the beams (1, 1). Two beams (1) of type 1 can be assembled with two beams (1) of type 2 to form a rectangular frame. The system further includes a set of corner assembly elements (2, 2), each assembly element (2, 2) including a body intended to pass through the transverse passage opening (6, 6) of the beams (1, 1) of type 1 and 2. The system also includes a set of plates (3) that can be assembled between two beams (1) of type 1 when assembled or two beams (1) of type 2 when assembled to form a rectangular frame, and a set of posts (11) of hollow rectangular section the hollow ends of which come to be nested over a corner assembly element (2, 2) of a rectangular frame formed of beams (1, 1) of type 1 and of type 2 so as to form a three-dimensional framework. The posts (11) include longitudinal rails or grooves (8) on two adjacent surfaces to receive other plates (3) between the posts (11) during assembly. Each hollow profile beam (1, 1) including along an upper surface spaced rails or grooves (8) intended to receive said other plates (3).
Wheeled Assembly for Item Transport
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.
Customizable Transportable Structures and Components Therefor
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.
CURTAIN AIRBAG DEVICE MOUNTING STRUCTURE AND CURTAIN AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT METHOD
A curtain airbag device mounting structure includes: a first pillar forming a part of a front pillar and extends substantially along a vehicle height direction; a second pillar forming another part of the front pillar, the second pillar being disposed on a rear side of a vehicle relative to the first pillar at a predetermined distance from the first pillar and extending substantially along the vehicle height direction; a transparent member bridged between the first pillar and the second pillar; and a curtain airbag device including a curtain airbag stored along a roof side rail and the second pillar, the curtain airbag being configured to inflate and deploy in a curtain-like fashion over a side portion of a cabin of the vehicle in case of a collision of the vehicle.
WALL FRAMING SYSTEM
The present invention relates to an engineered lumber framing system of pre-fabricated components for construction of structures comprising: a first top plate comprising an end, the end including corners at variable angles forming a first stepped construct; and a second top plate comprising an end, the end including corners at variable angles forming a second stepped construct; wherein the first stepped construct fits into the second stepped construct forming a corner connection; and wherein the first top plate and the second top plate each comprise of a plurality of sheet layers. The corner connection comprises a haunched stub tenon-like corner joint.
