  • Publication number: 20240151029
    Abstract: The present invention provides a sidewall system and a collapsible building using the system thereof. The sidewall system has a fixed wall, a sidewall, and a single-side eave system that has an eave panel that can be unfolded and folded along with the movement of the sidewall automatically. A collapsible building with two sidewall systems and a sliding, retractable roof is also provided. The collapsible building can create an enclosed space easily and quickly. To solve the above problems, the present invention is proposed. A retractable roof with a foldable ceiling is provided. The roof can be used on some expandable structures such as recreational vehicles or mobile houses. Compared to the traditional sliding roof, this invention combines a foldable ceiling inside the roof. The ceiling can split the roof and room which offer a better thermal insulation function.

  • Publication number: 20240151028
    Abstract: A pneumatic active sealing wall can create a seal between a movable wall and another part of a structure, such as a recreational vehicle, mobile home or the like. The pneumatic active sealing wall design allows the wall to expand from two sides, and, by expanding the wall parts into the side walls, gaps will be eliminated. The sealing wall can be used, for example, to create a seamless wall for folding mechanisms. Since such folding mechanisms do not allow lamination connection, the stretchable design of the pneumatic active sealing wall can solve the problems associated with sealing such movable walls.

  • Publication number: 20240138559
    Abstract: A storage mechanism for houses and expandable houses allows items to be stored in a space close to the ceiling so the storage space will not reduce the available floor space in the house. The storage will only reduce the height of the ceiling by a small amount, which does not affect most people. When activated, the system can automatically move the stored item to the room on the side and make them accessible to the user. The design aims to allow the users to store many items on top of their head to save spaces. It essentially eliminates the need of an additional storage room in smaller houses. It also allows multifunctional room when the storage system have some furniture like a TV and a mattress installed in it. It can help smoothly transform a living room to a bedroom and vice versa.

  • Publication number: 20240110377
    Abstract: A retractable roof construction can be manufactured in a factory and quickly deployed when assembling the house. The retractable roof can be made in parts and assembled into its compact formation whilst in the factory. This compact formation reduces space occupied in shipment, reducing the overall cost. When the compact formation roof is on a construction site, the roof can expand on both sides and be raised in the middle to provide an angle to protect against the rain. The expending process can be automated for reducing labor used in the construction. When compared to traditional roof construction, the retractable roof construction allows fast installation as well as reduced cost, both in shipping and labor.

  • Publication number: 20240093548
    Abstract: An apparatus provides for the flexible adjustment of the position of the windows, as well as for the ability to change the light transmission area of a single window, without wasting too much space. The apparatus can transform windows into completely opaque walls, for example, to achieve partial or complete light blockage by moving several wall panels hidden inside the sill up and down to specified positions. A set of push plates inside the sill can be used to displace the wall panels horizontally and a set of lifting plates on the window frame can be used to move the wall panels up and down along a track. At the same time, after selecting the specified position, the corresponding position can have a stick to push the wall panel into the specified position and tighten and fix the wall panel in the desired position.
