Transportable modules and/or vehicle enclosures

A transportable module which when deployed forms at least part of a vehicle enclosure, said transportable module comprising a first housing with a roof portion, a floor portion, a first side wall portion, a second side wall portion, a third side wall portion and a fourth side wall portion, said first housing houses at least part of an air handling unit, said first housing comprising a rigid side wall portion which is extendible to form at least part of an additional housing adjacent to said air handling unit;

• said additional housing being suitable for housing and fully enclosing a vehicle;
• whereby spraying and baking operations may be carried out within said additional housing whilst said vehicle is shielded from the surrounding environmental conditions;
• said air handling unit being configured to heat and/or cool air in order to provide heated or cooled air to the vicinity of said vehicle;
• and an extraction duct for removing air from said additional housing and for filtering said removed air prior to disposing of it into the surrounding environment;
• and an actuator for driving the deployment of said rigid side wall portion, wherein said rigid side wall portion is stacked above said first housing and is pivotally secured to said first housing.

A transportable module which when deployed forms at least part of a vehicle enclosure, said transportable module comprising a first housing with a roof portion, a floor portion, a first side wall portion, a second side wall portion, a third side wall portion and a fourth side wall portion, said first housing houses at least part of an air handling unit, said first housing comprising a rigid side wall portion which is extendible to form at least part of an additional housing adjacent to said air handling unit;

• said additional housing being suitable for housing and fully enclosing a vehicle;
• whereby spraying and baking operations may be carried out within said additional housing whilst said vehicle is shielded from the surrounding environmental conditions;
• said air handling unit being configured to heat and/or cool air in order to provide heated or cooled air to the vicinity of said vehicle;
• and an extraction duct for removing air from said additional housing and for filtering said removed air prior to disposing of it into the surrounding environment;
• and an actuator for driving the deployment of said rigid side wall portion, wherein said roof portion is stacked above said rigid side wall portion and is pivotally secured to said rigid side wall portion.

A transportable module which when deployed forms at least part of a vehicle enclosure, said transportable module comprising a first housing with a roof portion, a floor portion, a first side wall portion, a second side wall portion, a third side wall portion and a fourth side wall portion, said first housing houses at least part of an air handling unit, said first housing comprising a rigid side wall portion which is extendible to form at least part of an additional housing adjacent to said air handling unit;

• said additional housing being suitable for housing and fully enclosing a vehicle;
• whereby spraying and baking operations may be carried out within said additional housing whilst said vehicle is shielded from the surrounding environmental conditions;
• said air handling unit being configured to heat and/or cool air in order to provide heated or cooled air to the vicinity of said vehicle;
• and an extraction duct for removing air from said additional housing and for filtering said removed air prior to disposing of it into the surrounding environment;
• and an actuator for driving the deployment of said rigid side wall portion, wherein said actuator comprises a hydraulic ram extending between said first housing and said side wall portion which when activated causes said side wall portion to pivot from a position where the rigid side wall portion lays substantially flat on top of said first housing to an erect position where the rigid side wall portion extends upwards from said first housing.

A transportable module, which when deployed forms at least part of a vehicle enclosure, said transportable module comprising a first housing with a roof portion, a floor portion, a first side wall portion, a second side wall portion, a third side wall portion, and a fourth side wall portion, said housing houses at least part of an air handling unit, said first housing comprising a rigid roof portion which is extendible to form at least part of an additional housing adjacent to said air handling unit;

• said additional housing being suitable for housing and fully enclosing a vehicle;
• whereby spraying and baking operations may be carried out within said additional housing whilst said vehicle is shielded from the surrounding environmental conditions;
• said air handling unit being configured to heat and/or cool air in order to provide heated or cooled air to the vicinity of said vehicle;
• and an extraction duct for removing air from said additional housing and for filtering said removed air prior to disposing of it into the surrounding environment;
• said module comprising an actuator for driving the deployment of said rigid roof portion, further comprising a rigid side wall portion and wherein said actuator comprises a hydraulic ram extending between said rigid side wall portion and said rigid roof portion which when activated causes said rigid roof portion to pivot from a position where it lies against said rigid side wall portion to a position where it extends laterally therefrom.
