James D. Pope - San Francisco CA, US

Assignee:

Green Horizon Manufacturing, LLC - San Francisco CA

International Classification:

E04B 1/346

US Classification:

52 67, 52 64, 52 791, 52 795

Abstract:

A prefabricated structure comprises a shell including a shell frame and an extension including an extension frame deployable from the shell. The shell frame comprises a floor support, a roof support, and a plurality of columns extending between the floor support and the roof support, forming corners of the shell frame. A flange extends from at least one of the columns. The extension frame comprises a floor support, a roof support, and a plurality of columns extending between the floor support and the roof support, forming at least one corner of the extension frame. An outer lip is associated with at least one column of the extension farthest from the shell when the extension is deployed. An inner lip is associated with at least one column of the extension closest to the shell when the extension is deployed. The flange provides a first pocket for receiving the outer lip when the extension is seated within the shell and a second pocket receives the inner lip when the extension is deployed from the shell. The first pocket includes a first gasket to seal the prefabricated structure when the outer lip is received within the first pocket and the second pocket including a second gasket to seal the prefabricated structure when the inner lip is received within the second pocket.

Green Horizon Manufacturing LLC - San Francisco CA

International Classification:

E04B 1/00

US Classification:

5274502, 527452, 527411, 52 67

Abstract:

A method of deploying a cooperating set of prefabricated structure comprises positioning a first prefabricated structure including a first shell and a first extension nested within the first shell, the first shell and first extension having corresponding frames that form channels communicating electrical wiring. The method further comprises positioning a second prefabricated structure including a second shell and a second extension nested within the second shell, the second shell and second extension having corresponding frames that form channels communicating electrical wiring. The electrical wiring of the first prefabricated structure and the second prefabricated structure connect so that the first prefabricated structure and the second prefabricated structure share a common electrical system.

Assignee:

GREEN HORIZON MANUFACTURING LLC - San Francisco CA

International Classification:

E04B 1/35

US Classification:

5274502

Abstract:

A method of deploying a prefabricated structure including a shell and an extension nested within the shell comprises positioning a container, the container supporting the prefabricated structure on a plurality of rollers connected with the prefabricated structure. The prefabricated structure is urged so that a first set of roller extends from the container. The first set of rollers is separated from columns of a frame of the shell and a first set of support posts is lowered from the columns. The support posts are anchored, and the steps are repeated until the prefabricated structure is separated from the container.
