Definitions
- the invention relates to a cabin system for ships and the like.
- the invention also relates to transportable parts of the cabin system or transfer units.
- the invention further relates a method for assembling said cabin system from these transfer units.
- the ship cabins are prefabricated so far as to include all elements with insulation, lining and other equipment except the floor.
- the ship deck forms the floor of the installed cabin.
- This kind of floorless cabin is naturally rapid to install on the building site.
- the cabin is difficult to transport on the road as well as to move it in the narrow passages in the ship to its final place.
- two elongated cabin parts are prefabricated and transported to the site packaged so that said parts are close together during transportation.
- the parts On the building site the parts are separated from each other thereby forming the cabin space between them and the end walls and ceiling structure are mounted on them.
- This solution is advantageous from the point of view of transportation, but its installation stage is difficult.
- the patent indeed teaches that the prefabricated parts are provided with a ceiling but in practice this solution has been difficult to realize. Installation of the ceiling over the intermediate space on lined parts must be done from the inside, due to lack of space, and this is difficult with conventional attachment sections.
- the object of this invention is to remove the above problems and obtain a cabin system consisting of transfer units which are easy to transport and rapid to install on the ship.
- Fig. 1 shows an above view of adjacent cabins installed on the deck of a ship
- Fig. 2 shows cabin elements side by side
- Fig. 3 shows a cabin assembled from the cabin elements and connection elements of Fig. 2,
- Fig. 4 shows the transfer units of a cabin system according to one embodiment
- Fig. 5 shows the transfer units of a cabin system according to another embodiment
- Fig. 6 shows the principle of a prior art solution suitable for attaching elements together
- Fig. 7 shows the attachment of cabin elements and connection elements to each other on the site.
- Fig. 1 shows an above view of ship cabins 10 installed in place side by side.
- Each cabin comprises two pref bricated cabin elements El and E2 provided with walls 11 and ceiling 12 (Fig. 2) or cabin elements El' and E2' in the form of their mirror images.
- the space 30 between the cabin elements El and E2 (resp. El' and E2' ) defines the passage space of the cabin.
- Walls 11 form the ends and the side wall of the cabin elements.
- the cabin elements El and El' also contain a sanitary unit 13 normally with a wash basin, WC and shower.
- the elements El and El' containing a sanitary unit are always installed side by side and, therefore, also the lighter elements E2 and E2' are installed side by side.
- the cabin elements El and E2, resp. El' and E2' are connected to each other with end walls 15 and 16 and the ceiling 17 (Fig. 3) covering the intermediate space 30.
- the end walls 15 and 16, of which 15 includes a window (not shown in the figures) and 16 includes a door 14, and the ceiling 17 will in the following also be called connection elements.
- the edges r of the cabin elements El, El', E2, E2', and the connection elements 15, 16, and 17 are at the installation stage placed against each other.
- the edges r are suitably provided with attachment sections by which the elements are attached to each other.
- Prefabricated cabin elements may be transported to the installation site e.g. so that the elements El and E2, which form one cabin, are placed in the same "pack" or transfer unit as described in the patent FI 78036.
- Elements El and El', which include sanitary units 13, are self- supporting and consequently alone transportable transfer units.
- Lighter elements E2 and E2' on the contrary are too unstable to be transported alone as such.
- Figs. 4 and 5 show two new optional ways to form transportable transfer units of the cabin elements.
- the cabin element El forms the first transfer unit.
- Cabin elements E2 and E2' attached to each other form the second transfer unit which need not be disassembled on the installation site.
- the cabin element El and the transfer unit E2+E2' are placed so that El and E2 are situated at a suitable distance from each other. Then the elements El and E2 are connected together with the end walls 15 and 16 as well as the ceiling 17.
- the cabin element El also forms the first transfer unit.
- the ceiling 17 covering the space 30 between the elements and the end walls 15 and 16 have been pre-attached to the cabin element E2, and the door 14 in the wall 16 is already in place.
- the element E2 with the connection elements attached thereto forms the second transfer unit which is self-supporting and transportable as such.
- the transfer units are fastened to each other.
- Cabin element E2 can acquire the necessary transport stability although only part of the connection elements 15, 16 and 17 have been attached to it.
- the edges r of cabin elements to be attached to each other at the installation stage, and the connection elements are suitably provided with attachment sections described in the Finnish patent application 942654.
- This solution is shown in Fig. 6 showing two elements to be attached to each other.
- the edge of the main plate 20 of the first element is bent into an L-section and the plate edge of the second element into a Z-section.
- the edges of the plates to be attached to each other at the installation stage always form an L/Z-pair.
- the L- and Z-sections are provided with holes 21, 22, respectively, spaced a specific distance apart (the figure shows only the uppermost pair of holes) over the length of the joint.
- a tongue strip 23 is attached against the L-section so that its tongue 25 goes through the hole 21 (and also through the hole 22 of the Z-section when installed).
- a wedge strip 24 has been lightly attached against the Z-section, which wedge strip is at the installation stage knocked in the joint direction as indicated by the arrow. Hence the wedge strip and the tongue strip lock the L- and Z-sections of the elements tightly together.
- Fig. 7 shows assembling of the units of Fig. 4 together.
- the edges of the elements El and E2 as well as the vertical edges of the end walls 15 and 16 and the side edges of the ceiling element 17 are provided with the above described L- and Z-sections with the tongue and wedge strips (the details of the section strips are not shown in this figu- re).
- the end walls 15 and 16 are fastened by knocking the vertical wedge strips downward.
- the ceiling 17 forms here two parts 17a and 17b with an opening 40 between them for air conditioning unit.
- the ceiling parts 17a and 17b can be fastened to the elements El and E2 from the opening 40 by knocking the wedge strips at the edges in the horizontal direction as shown by the arrows.
- the cabin elements and the connection elements are provided with insulation, lining and channels for the lines and the like required by the cabin technique and the cabin elements are also provided with cabin fittings.
