Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0001] I. Field of the Invention
[0002] This invention relates generally to a combinational house
and, more specifically, to a retrievable combinational house hat is
expandable to increase the available space and retrievable.
[0003] II. Description of the Prior Art
[0004] Heretofore, it is known that combinational or container
houses with the advantages of low cost and mobility, they are seen
in construction sites, farms and much temporary construction.
However, the known combinational houses have firm structure, after
assembly, the superficial area is fixed and cannot be altered; the
construction and disassembly is very complex; the known container
houses are usually modified from a 20' or 40' container, the
superficial area is fixed, if users want to increase to area, they
can only align several containers together, the application is not
very convenient and occupies too much area, these containers are
very difficult to handle after end of application.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0005] It is therefore a primary object of the invention to provide
a retrievable combinational house that is expandable for more
useful space and is retrievable for less storage space.
[0006] In order to achieve the objective set forth, a retrievable
combinational house in accordance with the present invention
comprises a main body, at least one motor, at least one floor part,
at least one wall part and at least one roof part; when the
combination expands, the motor expands the roof part, the wall part
and the floor part in series to double the area, while retrieval,
the motor retrieves the floor parts, the wall parts and the roof
parts in reverse order into the main body.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
[0016] Referring to FIG. 1, the present invention comprises a main
body 10, at least one motor 20, at least one floor part 30, at
least one wall part 40 and at least one roof part 50. The function
of each component is described as following:
[0017] The main body 10 is a hollow shell body, a container in
reality, when the main body 10 retrieves, it stores at least one
motor 20, at least one floor part 30, at least one wall part 40 and
at least one roof part 50.
[0018] The motor 20 is applied to expand and retrieve the
combination, the motor 20 is installed on one topside of the main
body 10; two motors 20 are in this application example, however,
the number of the motors 20 applied is not limited to two. The
motor 20 applies hydraulic or air pressure to expand or retrieve
the floor part 30, the wall part 40 and the roof part 50.
[0019] At least one floor part 30 is stored inside the main body 10
and connects to the motor 20 to be expanded and retrieved by the
motor 20; at least one wall part 40 is stored inside the main body
10 and connects to the motor 20 to be expanded and retrieved by the
motor 20; and at least one roof part 50 is stored inside the main
body 10 and connects to the motor 20 to be expanded and retrieved
by the motor 20. When users apply the present invention, the motor
20 expands the roof part 50, the wall part 40 and the floor part 30
in series to double the area; this application example includes two
roof parts 50, corresponding wall parts 40 and floor parts 30, the
area available with the floor parts 30 is nearly triple; when users
retrieve the combination, the motor 20 retrieves the floor parts
30, the wall parts 40 and the roof parts 50 in reverse order. The
wall part 40 consists of at least one door 43 or at least one
window 44.
[0020] Referring to FIG. 2, an application example of the floor
part 30. As shown in FIG, the floor part 30 further comprises a
floor 31 and a floor stand 32. The floor 31 is stored inside the
main body 10, one end of the floor 31 is fixed on one end of the
wall part 40 with a square iron 60, however the fixing point is not
limited to the end of the wall part 40; the floor 31 is the floor
of the combination after all parts are expanded; one end of the
floor stand 32 connects to the motor 20 and is fixed onto the floor
part 40 with a square iron 60, the other end of the floor stand 32
is fixed onto the floor 31 with a square iron 60 to expand or
retrieve the floor part 30. The square iron 60 further contains a
inner circle 61 to combine and fix related components, the diameter
of the inner circle is 60 mm, but is not limited to this
length.
[0021] Referring to FIG. 3, an application example of the wall part
40. As shown in FIG, the wall part 40 further comprises an outer
wall 41 and a wall stand 42. The outer wall 41 is stored inside the
main body 10, one end of the outer wall 41 connects to the floor
part 30 with a square iron 60, the other end is fixed onto the roof
part 50, the outer wall 41 is the wall of the combination after
expansion; one end of the wall stand 42 is fixed to the main body
10 by a square iron 60, then connects to the motor 20, the other
end is fixed to the outer wall 41 by a square iron 60 to expand or
retrieve the wall part 40.
[0022] Referring to FIG. 4, an application example of the roof part
50. As shown in FIG, the roof part 50 further comprises a roof 51,
a first roof rack 52 and a second roof rack 54. The roof 51 is
stored inside the main body 10 with one end fixed onto one side of
the wall part 40 by a square iron 60, the roof 51 can be the roof
after the combination expands; one end of the first roof rack 52 is
fixed onto the outside the roof 51 by a square iron 60, an axis
area 53 is on the first roof rack 52, the other end of the first
roof rack 52 is fixed onto the bottom of the main body 10 by a
square iron 60; one end of the second roof rack 54 is fixed onto
the top of the main body 10 and then connects to the motor 20, the
other end is fixed onto the first roof rack 52 by a square iron 60;
when the combination opens or retrieves, the motor 20 brings the
second roof rack 54 and have the first roof rack 52 stretch or bend
on the axis area 53 site to expand or retrieve the roof part 50.
The first and second roof rack 52, 54 are square tubes in this
example; however they are not limited to be square tubes.
[0023] Referring to FIG. 5, an application example of the floor
part 30, the wall art 40 and the roof part 50. As shown in FIG,
when the floor part 30, the wall art 40 and the roof part 50
expand, the motor 20 opens the roof part 50, the wall part 40 and
the floor part 30 in order, the motor 20 brings the second roof
rack 54 and has the first roof rack 52 stretch at the axis area 53
to expand the roof part 50; then the motor 20 drives the wall stand
42 to stretch the wall 41; finally the motor 20 drives the floor
stand 32 to stretch the floor 31 to finish the expansion; while
retrieval, the motor 20 retrieves the floor part 30, the wall part
40 and the roof part 50 into the main body 10 in reverse order.
[0024] Referring to FIG. 6, an application example of the floor
part 30 and the wall art 40. As shown in FIG, when the floor part
30 and the wall art 40 retrieve, the motor 20 drives the floor
stand 32 and has the floor 31 bend upward to be in parallel with
the outer wall 41, then the motor 20 drives the wall stand 42 to
have the outer wall 41 move inward; since the floor 31 is fixed
onto the outer wall 41 by the square iron 60, the floor 31 moves
inward along with the outer wall 41 and is retrieved inside the
main body 10.
[0025] Referring to FIG. 7, an application example of the roof part
50. As shown in FIG, after the floor part 30 and wall part 40 are
retrieved, the roof part 50 is retrieved in turn; the motor 20
drives the second roof rack 54 and has the first roof rack 52 bend
at the axis area 53, the second roof rack 54 keeps moving in to
have the roof 51 bend downward by the square iron 60 until the roof
51 in parallel with the outer wall 41, the roof part 50 is
retrieved inside the main body 10 completely.
[0026] Referring to FIG. 8, an application example of the floor
part 30, the wall art 40 and the roof part 50. As shown in FIG,
while completes retrieval, the roof part 50, the wall art 40 and
the floor part 30 are in line from outside to inside and on both
sides of the main body 10, some space in the middle of the main
body 10 is available, when the space is sufficient, the combination
does not have to be expanded, the combination is expanded when more
space is needed.
[0027] While a preferred embodiment of the invention has been shown
and described in detail, it will be readily understood and
appreciated that numerous omissions, changes and additions may be
made without departing from the spirit and scope of the
invention.
