J. Application April 30, 1952, Serial No. 285,263 8 Claims. (Cl. 20-2) My invention relates to a collapsible hut and has as its prime object the provision of a collapsible hut which can be folded for transportation into a shipping container about a rigid rectangular frame incorporated therein.
It is another object of my invention to provide a collapsible hut of the described type which incorporates suitable means for raising the roof from its collapsed to its erected position.
It is still another object of my invention to provide a collapsible hut of the described type which is self contained in all its essential components.
It is a further object of my invention to provide a collapsible hut of the described type which incorporates suitable means for rendering the collapsed and expanded hut substantially air-tight and moisture proof, and for also rendering the hut water-tight so that it may be floated and transported by water when collapsed.
Other objects and advantages of my invention will appear as the course of the specification progresses.
To attain the objects and advantages of my invention I provide a hut having foldable side and oor panels. These panels can be folded with the end sections of the hut which are of a llexible material about a rigid rectangular frame positioned in each end section, to collapse the hut into a shipping container. Suitable jacking means secured to the oor of the hut are provided for raising the roof of the hut when the hut is to be erected from its collapsed condition. The hut is preferably provided with sealed joints to render both the collapsed and expanded hut air-tight and moisture proof, and to also render the hut water-tight so that it can be floated and transported if necessary when collapsed.
In the accompanying drawings:
Figure 1 is a perspective View of the expanded hut shown mounted on a trailer chassis and in use as a machine shop;
Figure 2 is a perspective view of the collapsed hut transformed into a shipping container and mounted for transportation on a trailer chassis;
Figure 3 is a perspective View showing two expanded huts joined end to end for use as a field hospital, portions of the huts being broken away to show the interior thereof;
Figure 4 is an exploded view of the hut structure;
Figure 5 is a perspective View of the hut with the primary seals attached shown in the process of erection;
Figure 6 is a fragmentary vertical cross-sectional view showing the relationship between the roof and the lifting jacks according to one mode of construction;
Figure 7 is a vertical fragmentary cross sectional View showing the relationship between the roof and the lifting jacks according to another mode of construction;
Figure 8 is a fragmentary elevational view partially in section of one form of hydraulic roof lifting jack;
Figure 9 is a View similar to Figure 8 showing a modified form of roof lifting jack;
Figure 10 is a semi-diagramatic perspective view show- States Patent ing the hydraulic system for the hydraulic roof lifting jacks;
Figure 11 is an end View partially in section of the hut collapsed and transformed into a shipping container, with the end cap removed;
Figure 12 is a fragmentary sectional view taken on the line 12-12 of Figure 1l, with the end cap in position;
Figure 13 is a detail sectional view showing the manner of securing the end caps to the door frames;
Figure 14 is a detail sectional view showing alternative means for securing the end caps to the door frames;
Figure 15 is a horizontal sectional view taken through the roof of the hut as assembled in Fig. 1 but with the primary flexible seal of the end section omitted illustrating the manner of folding the transverse partitions;
Figure 16 is a fragmentary horizontal sectional view taken through one end portion of the hut and the corresponding end frame, and illustrating the end partitions partly unfolded.
Similar reference characters refer to similar parts in each of the several views.
Referring to the drawings, reference character 1 designates the roof section of my collapsible hut which roof section has an opening 2 therein to permit a man to enter or leave the hut when all other openings are closed as by snow. Opening 2 is provided with an air-tight and watertight cover 3 which may be merely fitted into opening 2 to be held there by any suitable means.
Preferably, each of rectangular `frames 32 includes an air-tight and water-tight door which is hingedly connected thereto at 61 and `is provided with a sealed port- 6, the channels bc-' like window 62 and suitable locking means 63. Each of rectangular frames 32 has a plurality of bosses 64 mounted thereon having threaded openings 65 which function in securing an end cap 66 to each end of the collapsed hut. Each end cap 66 has a plurality of bosses 67 formed thereon through which suitable bolts may be inserted to connect with threaded openings 65 in bosses 64 which bolts with the aid of wing nuts 68 serve to secure cap 66 in position. Each end cap 66 is adapted to receive a gasket 69 of rubber or other like material which gasket is held in place by folded edges 70 of the cap. When end caps 66 are secured in position over the ends of the collapsed hut gasket 69 contacts the edges of frame 32 and the edges of thc roof, side and bottom sections of the hut forming a water-tiglit seal with such parts to further assure the water-tightness of the collapsed hut.
Means are provided for partitioning the hut transversely at each of frames 32. Thus each of frames 32 is hingedly connected by hinge members 71 and 71a to transverse partitions 72 and 73 respectively. Partitions 72 and 73 may as shown in Fig. 4 each extend to the sides of the hut when closed, the edges of partitions 72 and 73 in such case being adapted to conform to the inclination of side panels 12 and 14 respectively. Partitions 72 and 73 may however extend but part way across the hut when fully opened out as shown in Fig. 16, the panels 72 and 73 being connected to other transverse partitions 74 and 75 respectively by suitable hinge members 76 and 77 which other transverse partitions extend to the sides of the hut and are adapted to conform to the inclination of side panels 12 and 14. The aforementioned transverse partitions are hingedly connected along their top edges by suitable hinges members 78 and 79 to Wedge shaped transverse partitions 80 and 81 which conform to the inclination of side panels 1S and 10 respectively. Interposed between roof section 1 and each frame 32 is a transverse rectangular partition 82 which partition is hingedly connected by hinge member 83 to the top of frame 32 and by hinge members 84 and 85 to opposite sides of wedge shaped partitions 80 and 81 respectively. Transverse partitions 72, 73, 74, 75, 80 and 81 are provided with suitable latches S6 pivotally connected thereto and insertable in grooves 86a in the side panels of the hut to hold such partitions in their closed positions (Figs. 4 and 16.).
When more space is required than is afforded by one hut, two or morehuts may `be positioned end to end, the opposing primary seals having been first removed. Two huts positioned end to end for use asa hospital are shown in Fig. 3. Suitable sealing strips preferably are secured to and overlie the abutting edges of the two huts, and similar sealing means preferably are provided between the abutting end frames of the two huts.
Other incidental features of the hut include the provision of a plurality of legs 129 normally positioned beneath outwardly extending floor panels i7 and 19 of the expanded hut, and a pair of skids 121. Normally on fiat ground the 'weight of the 'hut is entirely supported by legs and skids E23.. 'Whom however, the hut rests upon uneven terrain as shown in Fig. 5 or when the expanded hut is mounted on a trailer as shown in Fig. l additional support means such as jacks 122 must bc provided. lt is advantageous to position legs 120 and jacks 322 in supporting channel pieces 123 where soggy ground is encountered.
it is to be understood that various changes and modications may be made in my collapsible hut `as herein shown and described and within the scope of the appended claims without departing from the spirit and scope of my invention.
