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 hole of a first variety within the edges;
- a bottom plate including first, second, third and fourth edges and a hole of the first variety within the edges;
- 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 hole of a second variety, 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 hole of the second variety, a first end coupled to the fourth edge of 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.
