Abstract
Embodiments are provided for a modular experience hut that may provide semi-enclosed structures for use in public or semi-public areas such as medical facilities. In an example, a modular hut includes a base, a ring rotatably coupled to the base, a seat portion coupled to an inner surface the ring, and a locking mechanism configured to lock the ring in at least a first position and a second position relative to the base. In this way, the modular hut may be positioned in different positions to allow for different seating or use arrangements.
Claims16
A modular hut, comprising:
- a base;
- a ring rotatably coupled to the base and including a plurality of attachment mechanisms distributed along a circumference of the ring, the plurality of attachment mechanisms configured to secure a connection ring, another modular hut, or a wall in direct contact with a first side surface of the ring;
- a seat portion coupled to an inner surface the ring;
- and
- a locking mechanism configured to lock the ring in at least a first position and a second position relative to the base.
A multi-unit modular hut, comprising:
- a first unit including a first base, a first ring rotatably coupled to the first base, and a first seat portion coupled to an inner surface the first ring;
- a second unit including a second base, a second ring rotatably coupled to the second base, and a second seat portion coupled to an inner surface the second ring;
- and
- a connection ring configured to couple the first unit to the second unit by directly coupling a first side surface of the connection ring to a first side surface of the first ring and by directly coupling a second side surface of the connection ring to a first side surface of the second ring.
