A Modular Security Suite™ of rooms/modules is for the protection of families and/or valuable personal property during Earthquake related and other emergencies. The “Dual Use” space MSS model has two or more adjacent rooms or modules and an adjacent hallway module. One room could be a W.C. and the other module could be a kitchenette or pantry or walk-in high security storage room. Its steel walls and ceiling would be made with interior and exterior steel plates which are welded and/or otherwise fastened to its vertical and horizontal steel/stud pipes or I-beam/studs and then can be filled with concrete. Thusly, the Modular Security Suite becomes a steel and concrete monolithic extension of the building's foundation. Moreover, the design's ship like steel bow/superstructure should resist earthquake related emergencies, flying debris and/or most types of ammo should an intruder invade a private home, bank, school or other building.
A basic Modular Security Suite [MSS] {U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/443,802} is composed of at least two modules or rooms and its purpose is to help protect people, pets, and personal property from hurricanes, tornadoes, intruders and other threats.
The dual steel or other material(s) wall of an MSS with vertical steel pipe or I-beam “studs” provides families further protection when the steel plate walls and ceiling are filled with concrete [or water or sand, Etc.], rerod, conduits for power, ventilation, communication, et al. Its steel plate walls extend deep into it concrete or other material foundation and are anchored there by its “L” shaped steel “Foot”—lower bent outward end of all of its steel plate walls. Moreover, the steel reinforcement rods typically used in foundations are routed via holes in the in-foundation steel plate walls so as to significantly increase anchoring/fastening strength of M.A.S.F Modular Security Suites and other MSS models. Thusly the whole MSS design becomes “monolithic” and integrated when installed at the same time the concrete foundation for the home or other building is poured.
The often unused space above doorways and near ceilings is used in the MSS M.A.S.F. design for automatic/electrical or manual “pull-down” storage platforms or boxes which are supported by steel cable, nylon rope or other cable/line. Therein or thereon mattresses, medical supplies, food, water, business records, PCs or PC elements, Etc. could be stored or used or secured as needed. All rooms in this design would also be so designed for maximum space utilization, personal comfort, security and convenience.
