Definitions

  • Mobile home units are well known in this country and elsewhere in the world. For the most part these units are mounted on a permanently attached frame with wheels and axles and are transported along the highways by being pulled behind a prime mover of some sort, e.g., a truck tractor. In more recent times one or more mobile home units are trans ⁇ ported from the manufacturer to a home site where the home units are then placed on a suitable foundation. These are not truly -mobile homes because they do not have integrally constructed wheels and axles for movement to another loca ⁇ tion.
  • This manufactured housing is lifted by crane, fork lift trucks, jacks or the like from the ground at the manu ⁇ facturing location to a highway truck and from the highway truck to the ground at the eventual home site.
  • Such manu ⁇ factured housing can be transported by -ship, but it is not capable of being loaded in stacks as are cargo containers, and is not designed to be handled by port equipment used to stack, load, and move overseas cargo containers.
  • This invention relates to a transportable manufactured housing structure having external dimensions to meet ISO standards comprising a residential unit having a floor, four walls and a roof inside of a supporting frame including a horizontal rectangular bottom support having two sides and two ends and adapted to support said residential unit, and a pair of vertical end structures attached respectively to said two ends and extending upwardly to a level at least as high as said residential unit, said end structures comprising two substantially identical rectangular end portions detachably joined to each other along a common horizontal plane, said supporting frame having eight corners with a lifting eye in each corner.
  • This invention also relates to a process for unloading a housing structure of this invention from a flat bed truck to the ground which comprises anchoring the housing structure and pulling the truck out from under the housing structure in a series of short moves, and at each stop attaching to the underneath side of the housing structure a support extending to the ground, the support being a removable portion of the supporting frame used to transport the housing unit.
  • a support extending to the ground, the support being a removable portion of the supporting frame used to transport the housing unit.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a housing unit in a sup ⁇ porting frame of this invention
  • FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of the bottom sup ⁇ port for the housing unit;
  • FIG. 3 is an assembled view of the bottom support of FIG. 2;
  • FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the bottom side of the bottom support of FIGS. 2 and 3, with cross pieces to provide for attachment of a supporting frame work underneath the housing unit;
  • FIG. 5 is a perspective, partly broken away, showing the construction of the housing unit when placed in the bottom support;
  • FIG. 6 is an enlarged perspective view of an end of the housing structure showing details of an end structure
  • FIG. 7 is a schematic illustration in perspective of an early stage in unloading the housing structure of this in ⁇ vention from a flat bed truck.
  • FIG. 8 is a schematic illustration in perspective of the next stage succeeding that of FIG. 7.
  • FIG. 1 there is shown a housing structure which, in essence, is a housing unit 11 in a transporting frame 12 that supports housing unit 11 under its entire length and width, and is built to be stackable with other housing structures of the same features.
  • the housing unit may be a portable home unit (i.e., a mobile home without the wheeled chassis) or other structure for residence, for storage, for office space, or the like, with all interior walls, appliances, etc. in ⁇ stalled.
  • This invention does not relate to the housing unit design or its structure except as it is attached to the sup ⁇ porting, frame needed to make it transportable.
  • the require ⁇ ments that make the housing unit transportable in the support frame of this invention are those of overall dimensions which fall within the sizes of cargo units that are transportable by truck, ship, or airplane.
  • the housing unit is transportable by truck, by ship and even by airplane.
  • the size regulations for ship freight are set forth in Interna ⁇ tional Standards ISO 668-1979 (E) for freight containers 20 feet, 30 feet, or 40 feet long.
  • the largest size is suitable for a housing unit and is approximately 40 feet long, 8 feet wide and 8-9 feet high. These dimensions are ones which are preferred for the overall dimensions of the housing structure of this invention.
  • the supporting frame 12 includes a horizontal bottom support 13 attached at each of its ends to a vertical end structure 1 .
  • Housing unit 11 may rest on top of bottom support 13 or have its flooring supports built into bottom support 13.
  • End structures 14 may or may not contact housing unit 11, but in the drawings are spaced away from (by a few inches) the end walls 33 of housing unit 11.
  • End structures are rectangular and sufficiently tall vertically to exceed the height of housing unit 11 and to be supports for another housing structure to be stacked above. The entire housing structure would, therefore, occupy the same prismatic space as a marine cargo container of the standard ISO dimensions. At each of the eight corners of that prismatic space is an arrangement of lifting eyes 17.
  • each end structure is composed of two rectangular end portions 15 and 16 bolted together along a central horizontal plane 52.
  • bottom support 13 is prepared bywelding together four beams into the desired rectangular shape, preferably two side L-beams 18 to a front channel beam 19 and a rear channel beam 20.
  • the terms "front” and “rear” refer to directions for placing the housing structure on the front or rear portions of a flat bed truck.
  • Front channel beam 19 is identical to rear channel beam 20 except for the hole 22 in beam 20 to receive the prong of a lifting jack and the cut-out portion 21 in beam 19 to fit over the elevation step in the forward chassis of most flat bed trucks.
  • Bottom support 12 can be made of any shape beams to support the housing unit, and may be made entirely of wood members.
  • bottom support 13 can be assembled with side L-beams 18 laid with horizontal leg at the upper ⁇ most level so as to support a prebuilt housing unit thereon. This arrangement is not preferred because it necessarily de ⁇ tracts about six inches from the overall height and the inside headroom of the housing unit.
  • FIG. 6 there is shown the detail of the rectangular end structures 14 and how they are arranged on the housing structure of this invention.
  • End structures 14 are posi ⁇ tioned near respective end walls 33 of housing unit 11 having roof 35 and side walls 34. End structures 14 are spaced away from end wall 33 by about a two-inch space 57, and they pro ⁇ vide support for another housing structure to be stacked above the one shown in FIG. 1.
  • Detachable end structures 14 are securely and rigidly fastened to bottom support 13 by a plurality of bolts 56.
  • Nondetachable end frame structures may be welded to the frame.
  • end structures 14 are rectangular combinations of two identical rectangular end portions 15 and 16 connected to each other by a plurality of bolts 55 joining the two end portions at central horizontal plane 52.
  • Each end portion 15 and 16 is preferably made of four welded lengths of structural beams, preferably L-beams. Gusset plates 41 may be welded at the upper and lower corners of end structure 15R to strengthen and rigidify them.
  • Peak beam 43 is a beam joining end structure 14R and 14F (meaning “rear” and "front") and is employed to rigidify the entire housing structure, if de ⁇ sired. This component may be omitted in embodiments where its additional strength is not needed. Peak beam 43 is bolted to end structures 14F and 14R because it will remain with the housing unit 11 after end structures 14F and 14R are separated therefrom and used as permanent under pinning sup ⁇ ports for the housing unit 11.
  • the vertical beams of end portions 15 and 16 contain bolt holes 40 that will be aligned with similar bolt holes in adjoining housing units and can be bolted to ⁇ gether to provide additional strength. Peak plates 43 of adjoining housing units 11 may also be bolted together for the same purpose.
  • FIGS. 7-9 An important feature of the housing structure of this invention, in 40-foot lengths, is that it can be conveniently transported on a container chassis highway truck trailer, un ⁇ loaded and set up as a finished housing unit ready for occu ⁇ pancy without need of any special cranes or other large lifting apparatus.
  • the unloading process is illustrated in FIGS. 7-9.
  • FIG. 7 there is shown the first step wherein the housing unit on its supporting frame 12 is first lifted a short distance at the rear end by use of a jack engaging jack port 22 and placing a roller 51, e.g., a 4-6 inch pipe, under the rear end of the housing structure.
  • a roller 51 e.g., a 4-6 inch pipe
  • An anchoring cable 46 is connected from housing struc ⁇ ture frame 12 to an anchor point, which may be a large tree, a rock, or a stake 45 driven into the ground. This prevents housing structure 11 and 12 from moving forward.
  • the truck is then moved forward a few feet so that end structure 14R overhangs the rear of the truck.
  • End portion 15 from end structure 14R is then unbolted and placed under bottom sup ⁇ port 13 and bolted to it employing bolt holes 53 in channel 20. (See FIG. 4) .
  • End portion 15 when bolted in place will form one of the under pinnings of housing unit 11 when it is completely removed from the truck.
