Abstract: A shower arrangement for a passenger aircraft includes a single shower cabin and at least two dressing cabins associated with the shower cabin. A door arrangement selectively opens and closes access areas passing from the dressing cabins into the shower cabin, so that only one access area can be open at any given time, while the other access area(s) is (are) closed. The throughput rate of the shower is increased, because at any given time a first user can be dressing in a first dressing cabin after having showered, while a second user is showering in the shower cabin, and while a third user is undressing in a third dressing cabin in preparation for taking a shower. Privacy is maintained by the interlocked doors.

Abstract: A prefabricated wall and roof unit for easy and cost efficient home construction.

Abstract: A dwelling system having a housing for enclosing an oversized vehicle where the oversized vehicle is generally an oversized vehicle such as a large truck, a recreational vehicle or a mobile home, for example. In one embodiment, the housing uses oversized doors with mock doors and windows such that the oversized garage enclosure is externally concealed. In another embodiment, the garage includes components that are vertically actuable so as to accommodate ingress and egress of an oversized vehicle.

Abstract: Transportable living quarters includes a main frame supporting a main living area and a slide out room which slides between an extended and retracted position relative to the main living area. An extendable member is mounted on the main frame and is rigidly connected to the slide out room floor, so that the weight of the slide out room is transferred from the floor of the main living to the extendable member as the slide out room slides between the retracted and extended positions. In one embodiment of the invention, the floor of the slide out room is leveled with respect to the floor of the main living area when the slide out room is moved to the extended position by bending of the extendable support member in response to the weight transfer.
