Abstract
An engineered structural frames capable of picking, lifting and moving houses or objects. A vertical transport to create a multi storey structure to its maximum height allowed by the building code. The frames are detachables, extendables and expandables to fit pre-determine length, width of buildings or objects. Easy to transport to sites locations because its design to fit a trailer load and no extra length or width to worry about. Can be assembled at jobsite and need a small area to unload delivery on tight spot.
Under development for use in pipeline and cable laying operation or recovery. With special attachments can be use for Environmental clean up works in waterways, rivers and streams. The prime movers for the apparatus are mobile cranes equipt with leveling and weight gauges to determine load capacity.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0022] Consists of (4) Frames and Supporting Devices
[0023] FIG. 1 is showing a pick up frame consists of beams item #3 and item # 4 and a sliding joint connector item # 2 that holds the frame together with hooks at pick up pointing upwards together with cables #1 to tie to the mobile Crane boom. The connector is capable of sliding and braking at pre-determine spot to fit & secure the house to be move up.
[0024] FIG. 2 Another pick up frame consists of extendable & expandable beams item # 29, items # 32 and item # 31 with multiple hook up points items # 30 both frame members.
[0025] Beam item #33 has two pin holes to coincide with pin holes at item beam # 32 pins serves locking device to hold beams. At beam item # 29 are provided with downward hooks. At beam item # 31 has two hooks pointing upward serves as pick up points for the frame to meet cables going to the Crane boom hook up.
[0026] FIG. 3 Lifting frames serves both FIG. 1 & FIG. 2 in different capacities, Lifting frame FIG. 1 consists of beam items # 7 & beam item # 27 and indirectly metal corner bracket item # 10 & item # 9 the two serve well in the stability during move up operation by securing house from movement and collapse during the move up operations. Lifting elements are served by item # 6 the metal wire mesh harness that provide cable attachment to tie cable on pick up hooks pointing downward at pick up points at item # 2 the connector. Critical of the lifting operations are the supporting devices on item #27 & item #34 on FIG. 1 and items #37 & items # 34 on FIG. 2 and all multiple locations to supporting the the girders from fulling apart during lifting, they are also supported by items # shown FIG. 6, the Floor-Girder, Floor supports and Tie down items at multiple locations under the house or building for move up operations.
[0027] Either embodiments are detachable capable of reconfiguration useful for other pick up lifting objectives. Works underdevelopments to use in pipeline, cable operations and also for environmental clean up operations and recovery. FIG. 8 item #17 Multi unit Joint Connection for current objectives on multiple combination use.
[0028] FIG. 4 Storm-Seismic Structural Frame consists of: [0029] a) Wall hold down item #16 FIG. 8 is a metal angle strap with nail holes multiple locations at top and bottom of old building walls, where anchor rods passes through to act as vertical member of the frame. Structural nails use to tie wall and metal rod. [0030] b) Anchor tie rod item # 18 FIG. 8 (prior art) located at corners of building or house. This rods are embedded inside wall frames and runs continues top of the corner of wall. [0031] c) Square metal washer with closing nut, where anchor rods end located at corners top of walls see item # 19 FIG. 1 [0032] d) Turnbucle (prior art) item # 20 connecting anchor bolt item #22 metal rod item # 18
[0033] All elements, parts and devices associated with lifting operation will conform to the rigging manual of the Crane Institute of America procedure & specifications. Including all Prior Arts mentioned in my application.
