Abstract
The prefabricated construction comprises a framework comprising a lower structure, an upper structure and vertical uprights interconnecting the structures. Each structure comprises a substantially rectangular frame which has at each corner a vertical corner member. The corner members are adapted to fit with the uprights and detachable means are provided for fixing and guiding the corner members and uprights. The upper and lower structures may be placed directly together with the component parts of the construction enclosed between these assembled structures for transporting the construction.
Claims26
A metal framework for a prefabricated construction, comprising a lower structure and an upper structure and vertical uprights, the lower structure and upper structure each comprising a frame having a substantially rectangular shape, a vertical corner member provided at each corner of the frame, the vertical corner members of the upper structure being engaged with upper parts of the uprights and the vertical members of the lower structure being engaged with lower parts of the uprights, each of said vertical members and the corresponding upright comprising complementary detachable means for fixing and guiding the vertical member and uprights, wherein the fixing and guide means comprise screwthreaded rods carried by the corner members and notches provided respectively at lower and upper ends of the uprights, and nuts screwed tight on the screwthreaded rods so as to achieve the fixing.
A prefabricated construction comprising in combination:
- a framework comprising a lower structure and an upper structure and vertical uprights, the lower structure and upper structure each comprising a frame having a substantially rectangular shape, a vertical corner member provided at each corner of the frame, the vertical corner members of the upper structure being engaged with upper parts of the uprights and the vertical members of the lower structure being engaged with lower parts of the uprights, each of said vertical members and the corresponding upright comprising complementary detachable means for fixing and guiding the vertical member and uprights;
- a floor carried by the lower structure;
- a metal roofing carried by the upper structure;
- and lateral walls, the construction being such that, in a disassembled position thereof, the lower structure and upper structure lies one over the other and angle members cooperating with the vertical corner members assemble the upper structure and lower structure so as to constitute a packing, the uprights and lateral walls of the construction being disposed within the space defined by the upper and lower structures, wherein the height of the angle members is greater than the sum of the heights of the upper structure and lower structure so as to provide an increased height and volume between the floor and the roofing, lateral strips being mounted between the two structures to complete the packing.
A prefabricated construction comprising in combination:
- a framework comprising a lower structure and an upper structure and vertical uprights, the lower structure and upper structure each comprising a frame having a substantially rectangular shape, a vertical corner member provided at each corner of the frame, the vertical corner members of the upper structure being engaged with upper parts of the uprights and the vertical members of the lower structure being engaged with lower parts of the uprights, each of said vertical members and the corresponding upright comprising complementary detachable means for fixing and guiding the vertical member and uprights;
- a floor carried by the lower structure;
- a metal roofing carried by the upper structure;
- and lateral walls, the upper structure comprising at least two parallel section members having a generally U-shaped section, namely an upper section member and a lower section member, the upper section member having an opening facing upwardly and two flanges of different height, the shorter flange being located adjacent the interior of the construction whereas the longer flange comprises a ledge which extends toward the interior of the construction, means for locking the roofing elements cooperating with said ledge, detachabe cross-members interposed between the two section members and comprising at one of their ends abutment means for the roofing elements whereby the roofing elements and the adjacent flange of the section member define a gap, said locking means being engaged substantially parallel to the plane of the roofing under said ledge of the outer flange of the section member.
A metal framework for a prefabricated construction, comprising a lower structure and an upper structure and vertical uprights, the lower structure and upper structure each comprising a frame having a substantially rectangular shape, a vertical corner member provided at each corner of the frame, the vertical corner members of the upper structure being engaged with upper parts of the uprights and the vertical members of the lower structure being engaged with lower parts of the uprights, each of said vertical members and the corresponding upright comprising complementary detachable means for fixing and guiding the vertical member and uprights, wherein the upper structure comprises two juxtaposed section members fixed together on each side of the frame, namely an upper section member constituting a channel for supporting a ceiling and roofing and a lower section member which is open on a side thereof facing the interior of the construction for receiving water supply pipes, electric supply cables, etc.
A prefabricated construction comprising in combination:
- a framework comprising a lower structure and an upper structure and vertical uprights, the lower structure and upper structure each comprising a frame having a substantially rectangular shape, a vertical corner member provided at each corner of the frame, the vertical corner members of the upper structure being engaged with the upper parts of the uprights and the vertical members of the lower structure being engaged with lower parts of the uprights, each of said vertical members and the corresponding upright comprising complementary detachable means for fixing and guiding the vertical member and uprights;
- a floor carried by the lower structure;
- a metal roofing carried by the upper structure;
- and lateral walls, wherein the upper structure comprises two juxtaposed section members fixed together on each side of the frame, namely an upper section member constituting a channel for supporting the roofing and a lower section member which is open on a side thereof facing the interior of the construction for receiving water supply pipes, electric supply cables, etc.
