Abstract
A modular housing system includes a number of side beams, a number of transverse beams each spanning two or more of the side beams, at least one spine beam spanning two or more of the spanning beams, a number of isosceles angle irons provided to exterior surfaces of the side beams, a number of scalene angle irons provided to exterior surfaces of the side beams opening away from the isosceles angle irons and a number of corner support braces each coupled to one of the side beams abutting one of the isosceles angle irons.
Claims21
A corner support brace, comprising:
- a top plate including first, second, third and fourth edges and a top plate hole located within the edges;
- a bottom plate including first, second, third and fourth edges and a bottom plate hole aligned with the top plate hole and located within the edges of the bottom plate;
- a first back plate including a first end coupled to the first edge of the top plate and a second end coupled to the first edge of the bottom plate;
- a second back plate including a first end coupled to the second edge of the top plate and a second end coupled to the second edge of the bottom plate;
- a first face plate including at least one first face plate hole located therein, a first end coupled to the third edge of the top plate and a second end coupled to the third edge of the bottom plate;
- a second face plate including at least one second face plate hole located therein matching the at least one first face plate hole, a first end coupled to the fourth edge of the top plate and a second end coupled to the fourth edge of the bottom plate;
- and
- a mid-plate coupled between the first and second back plates and the first and second face plates and spaced apart from the top and bottom plates,
- wherein at least one of (i) the at least one first face plate hole comprises two first face plate holes or (ii) the at least one second face plate hole comprises two second face plate holes, and
- wherein the corner support brace is a unitary structure of one-piece construction.
