Definitions

  • the present invention relates to improvements in demou ⁇ tabie temporary buildings. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • demountable temporary buildings are often required to provide temporary shelter in many circumstances such as natural disasters ⁇ nciudi ⁇ g earthquakes, floods, fires and the like. They are also commonly required during man ma ⁇ e disasters including conflicts, wars and the iike when temporary dwellings are required for displaced persons. There are many other situations where temporary buildings may be required including the provision of temporary medical and surgicai facilities.
  • the most common temporary shelter employed is tents, however, tents, in many applications are less than satisfactory. The adequacy of shelter provided in particularly cold and wet climates is poor, and even medium term accommodation in tents can at ieast be uncomfortable if not more problematic.
  • tents are a particularly poor option for providing medical or surgical functions given their inability to be cleaned or sterilized.
  • a still further issue with tents is that they have to be continuously replaced in that they are seldom returned from a use site for subsequent use in Mure situations.
  • Temporary buildings of a more sturdy nature than tents tend to be difficult to transport and time consuming to erect when erection time is often a critical factor.
  • the objective of the present invention is to provide an improved demountable building structure that will overcome or minimize the difficulties associated with tents or other known structures.
  • a preferred objective is to provide an easily transportable demountable building structure that can be quickly erected at a desired site and where use of the erected building can occur very quickly once it is transported to the desired site.
  • a demountable building is provided reconfigurable between a coiiapsed transport configuration and an erect use configuration, said demountable building including a first preformed panel having opposed side edge regions and opposed end edge regions, a preformed side panel hingedly connected to each of said side edge regions of the first preformed pane!, and a second preformed pane!
  • a first hinge means with a first hinge axis connects a first one of said side panels to said first preformed pane! and a second hinge means with a second hinge axis connects a second one of said side panels to said first preformed panel, said first and said second hinge axes being parallel to one another and said first hinge axis being elevated above said second hinge axis with said first preformed pane! being disposed in a horlzonta! plane.
  • At least one of said side panels is restricted from hingediy moving substantially beyond said upright position from said collapsed transport position.
  • at least a portion of said one side panei engages a portion of said first preformed panei in said upright position to prevent said one side panel moving substantially beyond said upright position from said colSapsed transport position.
  • at least one (and potentially ail) of said first, said second or said side panels are formed from moulded plastics material.
  • the pane! or the panels are made by rotation moulding plastics material to define at least one hollow zone within the panel or said panels.
  • inlet means and drainage means to enable a liquid to be introduced into or drained from each said hollow zone may be provided.
  • At least one of the side panels includes at least one window zone.
  • the first preformed panei is a floor panel and said second preformed panel is a roof panei.
  • the second preformed pane! may be a floor panei and the first preformed pane! may be a roof panel.
  • the demountable building further includes first and second B ⁇ O wali means reieasably connectible to opposed ends of the building in said erect use configuration.
  • the demountable building may further include reSeasable fastening means cooperabie between said side edge regions of said second panel and the free edge regions of said side panels, said releasabie fastening means also enabling connection of said second pane!
  • formations on said second pane! cooperate with formations on a sub assembly of said first pane! and said side panels to locate said second pane! against transverse movement relative to said sub assembly when in said collapsed transport configuration.
  • the demountable building in said co ⁇ apsed transport configuration, defines a collapsed package size having a width approximating but less than an interna! width of a shipping container, in this manner, the coliapsed package size can substantially flli the width of such a shipping container to use economically substantially aii the space within the shipping container.
  • multiple numbers of the demountable building in the collapsed transport configuration stacked on each other substantially fill the height of such a shipping container.
  • the demountable bu ⁇ ding defines a collapsed package size having a width approximating but less than an internal height of a shipping container.
  • the coliapsed package size can substantially fill the height of such a shipping container to use economically substantially all the space within the shipping container.
  • multiple numbers of the demountable building in the collapsed transport configuration positioned adjacent one another can substantially fill the width of such a shipping container.
  • the length of coliapsed package size might be such as to substantially fill the interna! length of the shipping container.
  • the length of the coliapsed package size might be less than the interna! length of the shipping container, for example approximately a third or a half of the interna! length of the shipping container, in yet another alternative arrangement the length of the collapsed package size might approximate but be iess than the interna! width of the shipping container.
  • the panels might be configured to ailow same to be reieasably joined to another such panel in the erect configuration to increase the length of the erected demountable building.
  • the present invention also anticipates providing a shipping container substantially filled with collapsed said demountable buildings as described in the foregoing.

  • Whlie the drawings illustrate a typically modular sized demountable building 10, it is possible to produce such a building in smaller sections, eg a third or half the length illustrated such that their end zones are inter connectable to make a longer building structure. Such arrangements can be employed with either a longer roof panel 24 such as the one illustrated in the drawings or with shorter roof panels that also connect with each other.
  • the described demountable building 10 can be readily erected from the collapsed transport configuration by operators without the need for assistance from machinery. The building can be erected quickly and become effectively operational quickly.
