SAFE IMMEDIATE ACCOMMODATION STRUCTURES

Abstract

The “Safe immediate accommodation structures” is a modular, very light, sturdy, and economical structure, which rectifies all the hurdles and limitations of the past in the field of temporary and permanent accommodation, when it comes to providing immediate and secure accommodation. Due to its unique geometrical design (FIG. 1&2) it enables us to have the least number of modules, with the possibility of changing the dimensions, and the potential for combination, interconnection and disintegration, in the 6 coordinate directions. It is also very resistant against earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, pressure, long term exposure to sun light, corrosion due to downpours. The potential for being assembled and dismantled many times and in different places, makes this product a suitable choice for use in difficult to reach and rural areas, the research teams in protected areas, disaster-stricken areas, war inflicted countries where the need for establishing a relief camp is felt, and on the other hand, temporary and permanent accommodation in the exhibition areas, markets and store and the recreational complexes.

Description

RELATED APPLICATION

The present disclosure takes priority from PCT/IR2018/050020, filed on 2018-07-07.

Having a place to live in peace and security has always been one of the most fundamental needs of the human race. Building a sturdy and durable structure in harmony with various environmental elements and also adaptable to possible disasters would be very costly and time-consuming.

It is one of the most important concerns of managers, when it comes to providing Rapid and secure accommodation for people in the process of prevention of and preparation for natural or man-made disasters as well as handling and rebuilding in these circumstances. A Rapid and secure provision of accommodation for people in times of crisis is not quite possible with such present options as tents and prefabricated cabins and so on.

Since there are no considerable options in the history of technical science for a secure, rapid accommodation which fulfill all the requirements of special conditions and locations, we have invented The “Safe immediate accommodation structures”.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The aforementioned invention is related to architecture, time management, accommodation and provision of security for occupants. The prefabricated structures are often used for Rapid and secure accommodation of crisis management teams, rescue and relief personnel, and survivors, and also setting up permanent schools in the underprivileged areas and putting up exhibition stalls as well as decorating public and private buildings, and so on.

BACKGROUND ART

Accommodation has always been the main concern of humanity throughout history. As living in a safe and secure accommodation saved the life and livelihood of human beings in confrontation with enemies or wild animals, the human race has spent a great deal of time and expense for his accommodation.

The decorative aspects and the physical features distinguishing the architecture in different parts of the world throughout history are as diverse as geographical features, civilizations and cultures of human society. This diversity in shape and structure includes a vast array of methods and building techniques.

SUMMARY OF INVENTION

“Safe immediate accommodation structures” consists of very light and robust plates made of fiber-glass, or depending on their application, made of sheets of metal (for the applications where extra strength is required), or even hardened glass in research units or in decorative applications.

This is a spherical structure, which is mounted on a cylinder of the same diameter in the shape of a hemisphere. In fact, it is by benefiting from the property of the Point Of Symmetry in the sphere that the structure could expand from the cross section in 3 coordinate directions. The diameter of the structure is decided to measure at 310 centimeters. A structure with this dimension would be suitable as a camp accommodation for rescue and relief personnel providing rescue or medical help or as living quarters for up to 3 people. This measurement is adaptable to other applications by being smaller or larger in value.

One module alone, makes up a whole sphere (module al in FIG. 1A&1B), one module forms the door frame (module a2 in FIG. 1B), two modules make up the walls (modules a3 & a4 in FIG. 1B), and another module allows the structure to be expanded in different directions (module a5 in FIG. 1D). These are the minimum number of modules needed to reach an unlimited probability of combinations in all the 6 directions of the coordinate system. In total, there are only 5 modules needed to build a single structure with a variable height, width and length. In special cases, where the natural ground or concrete could not be used as the floor, adding one module for the floor of the structure (module af1 in FIG. 1E), and an extra one for the floor of the expanded areas in different directions has been foreseen (module af2 in FIG. 1E).

One of the main features of The “Safe immediate accommodation structures”, is its fast and easy assembly. It takes only two people with a simple training to complete the structure. But, in special cases, in order to make transportation and assembly possible by one untrained person only, the modular division design is altered.

In other words, by using a smaller geometrical formation design of the modules, a structure is envisaged with 8 modules in which 3 modules only, complete the sphere (modules b1, b2 & b3 in FIG. 2A). One module forms the door frame (module b4 in FIG. 2A), and 3 modules make up the walls (modules b5, b6 & b7 in FIG. 2A) and another module allows the structure to be expanded in different directions. These are the minimum number of modules needed to reach an unlimited possibility of combinations in all the 6 directions of the coordinate system, by only one untrained person. Therefore, there are only 8 modules needed in total, to build a single structure with a variable height, width and length. In special cases, where the natural ground or concrete could not be used as the floor, adding one module for the floor of the structure (module bf1 in FIG. 6A), and an extra one for the floor of the expanded areas in different directions has been foreseen (module bf2 in FIG. 6B).

The structure is designed in a way to allow for multilevel construction by means of adding specially made plates (FIG. 2B). This increases the potential application range of the structure Furthermore, the expansion of the structure in 4 horizontal directions would be achieved by adding specially made plates (FIGS. 3D & 4A).

In order to reach the goal of being able to attach and combine one structure with another from 6 directions, we have envisaged an 8 piece modular design. More clearly, a sphere is assumed to be sectioned from the centre by the 3 coordinate planes so that we achieve a hemisphere on each plane, portioned in 4.

Each one of the quarter-hemispheres (the ⅛ of a sphere) are designed to consist of the least number of modules. Further on, we would be explaining about the constituting components of the structure and how dividing the one module sphere into eight modules, makes the assembly of the structure possible for one person alone. As mentioned, this structure consists of 8 modules, from which, only 3 makes a complete sphere.

A hexagonal module (shown in FIG. 3A as b1) in the centre, one trapezoidal module (shown in FIG. 3A as b2) repeated 6 times at the 6 sides of the center hexagonal module, and one triangular module (shown in FIG. 3A as b3) repeated 3 times in the 3 corners of the quarter-hemisphere (FIG. 3A).

Therefore, to complete a sphere there has to be 8 pieces of the hexagonal module, 48 pieces of the trapezoidal module and 24 pieces of the triangular module connected to each other, in the mentioned formation.

Each threshold module replaces one trapezoid and one triangular module (shown in FIG. 3B as b4). By repeating this module for 4 times, a complete threshold is made and by repeating it for 2 times and connecting it to suitable profile sheet, a complete threshold of a door frame is achieved (FIG. 3B).

The cylindrical wall or base module is extended from the very cross section and the division patterns, according to the modular designed of the hemisphere.

The base of a single door structure consists of 3 modules. The profile shape modular (shown in FIG. 3C as b5) is repeated 4 times to make the door frame. The rectangular module (shown in FIG. 3C as b6) is repeated 4 times between the profile modules to create the door, and the square module (shown in FIG. 3C as b7) is repeated 8 times to complete the base of the structure (FIG. 3C).

In the structures that are extended in length or width, an extra module is used in the wall/base for the desired expansion without any limit (shown in FIG. 3D as b8).

Each structure has the possibility of opening to a threshold from the front, back, right, left, top and bottom. These thresholds provide the possibility of the structure being connected to other structures. This feature gives rise to the creation of accommodation complexes by connecting many of these structures together. Top views of a single door structure in (FIG. 4A), a structure with double door or threshold in (FIG. 4B), which makes the connection of many structures possible in one line, in (FIG. 4C), a structure with 4 doors or thresholds in (FIG. 4D), which allows the connection of many structures in the horizontal plane in (FIG. 4e). Also, the structures could be mounted on top of each other to create a multilevel structure, as in (FIG. 4F).

The floor of the structure is a disc of the same diameter as the hemisphere and consists of 4 repetitions of a quarter of a circle shaped module (shown in FIG. 6A as bf1). Each of these pieces have patterns drawn on them, so should the piece coincide with the door frame, the extra parts could be cut out in the factory, and doing so, allows the attachment of many structures with each other.

In the structures that are extended in length or width, an extra module is used in the floor for the desired expansion without any limit (shown in FIG. 6B as bf2).

While designing the floor of the structure, special attention was paid to the strength and the simplicity of the assembly procedure, by employing a clicking joint system around the circumference of flooring pieces which could also be made water-resistant by applying suitable glue in the gaps (FIG. 7).

The design of the structure is very simple and practical. First, the pieces are placed next to each other according to the plan (step 1 in FIG. 8A), and then, they are attached together by the quick release clips, tightly (steps 2 & 3 in FIG. 8A). The edges, which are bent at 90 degrees to the surface of the pieces, are fitted in the groove of the clip, which clamps them together by half a turn of its bolt (step 4 in FIG. 8B). The structure could also be made water-resistant by applying suitable glue in the gaps (FIG. 8).

Considering the fact that this structure is made from geometrically shaped surfaces which are attached to each other, and the modules could replace one another, and even a new module could be produced in special cases, then it could be claimed that, this structure is an invention in the fields of architecture, and management of time, space, and human resource, which has the potential to combine, interconnect and disintegrate, change and expand, with the same or other structures and buildings, in the 6 coordinate directions, without any time limitation.

Technical Problem

No matter what techniques and methods are employed in architecture to provide for the needs of accommodation, we should know about limitations and shortcomings in the field of building a habitable environment.

During desperate times, when providing relief to people is a matter of urgency, the issue of accommodation is dealt with by using tents, prefabricated cabins and mobile homes. Needless to say, while some of these facilities do not cater for the needs of providing sufficient comfort and security, the others are expensive and therefore limit the number of purchased units, as well as being heavy for transportation.

Although there has been some intermittent innovations in this field with high expense, but we have never been able to collate all the desired criteria in one special product, all together. In other words, the challenge has remained, to find a product that combines low cost, low weight, fast assembly, and safety with practicality, variety, good looks, and a variable structure combination, from a single door accommodation to a large accommodation complex next to one another, all at once.

Solution to Problem

To overcome all the problems and limitations mentioned, we are pleased to introduce The “Safe immediate accommodation structures”. This invention consists of some very light and robust geometrically shaped plates, put together quickly and easily, by means of a simple attachment system.

The short list of the features that have made the structure unique are:

• • It is light and compact for transportation and storage,
  • It can be assembled easily and swiftly, regardless of the time, place and weather conditions,
  • It can be assembled and dismantled many times and in different places, with no training at all,
  • It can be expanded in height, in levels and horizontally in the 3 coordinate directions,
  • It can be interconnected with many structures without limit in 6 directions,
  • It can be interconnected completely or partially to other buildings or other structures,
  • It is resistant against hurricanes and tornadoes, due to its aerodynamic profile,
  • It is resistant against earthquake and its aftershocks, and is highly tolerant to pressure,
  • It is resistant against the effects of weathering of downpours and prolonged exposure to the UV radiation of sunlight,
  • It can be made water-resistant or isolated completely, including the floor,
  • It can take various coats of paint, or be covered with different construction materials,
  • It can be repaired, serviced and maintained easily and with low cost,
  • It is economical and practical.

ADVANTAGEOUS EFFECTS OF INVENTION

Some of the applications of this product in various areas and scopes, owing to its special features are:

• • Providing accommodation as a school or medical camp and so on, in difficult to reach and rural areas
  • Providing accommodation for research teams in protected nature reserves, or for nature protection guards and so on
  • Providing accommodation in disaster-stricken areas, needing rescue and relief camps and so on
  • Providing accommodation for the asylum seekers, survivors of war and disaster-stricken people and so on
  • Providing accommodation in recreational and touristic areas like beach huts and in parks and so on
  • Providing permanent and temporary accommodation in the exhibitions and shopping areas in the form of kiosks and stalls and so on

Smallness of the number of moulds for the modules in the structure makes this a faster and less expensive product to manufacture. On the other hand, its potential in combining and interconnecting many different structures in 6 directions together with the ability to expand the structure in multilevel or horizontally in a line or in a plane, allows the creation of accommodation complexes of unlimited diversity and versatility. This enables the managers to have the possibility to design and implement accommodation complexes with particular strategies.

Employing a quick release clipping system makes the assembly of the structure faster and easier, in a way that anybody with the least amount of skills and facilities could follow the instruction sheet and put the structure together. Also, the structure could be assembled and dismantled many times in different places.

One of the outstanding features of this structure is being light and compact, prior to assembly. This advantage makes the storage and transportation easier and less expensive, so managers could be more adequately prepared by procuring this product in advance and stockpiling enough units in order to be ready in times of emergencies and when it comes to providing accommodation for recue and relief personnel, workers and survivors and so on.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

The reason behind choosing the sphere is its inherent properties, some of which are as follows:

• • Due to equal distribution of pressure from any given point to the whole outer shell, spherical structures are known to be very resistant in bearing pressure. Therefore, there is no reason to fabricate the pieces of the structure with thick material, and this is one of the reasons of its lightness.
  • Due to the aerodynamic property of the surface of the sphere, this structure is very resistant against hurricane and tornadoes. In other words, when the particles (from the larger to as small as the air molecules) floating in high winds hit the spherical surface, they change direction and the least amount of force and friction would be applied to the spherical surface. This property allows the structure to be also highly resistant to all kinds of downpour.
  • Due to the properties of the point of symmetry in the sphere, it gives the structure the potential to combine, interconnect, disintegrate, proliferate and expand.

The structure is made of fiber-glass that has unique features, some of which are as follows:

• • Lightness
  • Sturdiness
  • Wash and sterilisable
  • Hygienic
  • Resistant to corrosion against sun light for long periods of time

EXAMPLES

It could be claimed with frankness and certainty, that The Safe immediate accommodation structures would make a success story out of some impossible problems and in other cases it might be an improvement. Some examples would clarify the point in what follows:

The various and divers combinations of accommodation complexes would be a way out of the problems in planning and implementing any strategy for the managers involved. For instance, when the crisis management of the Red Crescent Society and the Red Cross deal with the problems of crowd control, or security or accommodating the relief personnel. Putting up temporary schools in the isolated and rural areas by the relevant ministry of any country. The organizers of exhibitions and shopping villages and markets could make good use of The Safe immediate accommodation structures for planning and the erection of an interconnected camp (FIG. 9).

Considering the fact that the structure is washable and also isolatable, a hygienic environment, similar to a hospital which is equipped with a sterile surgery theater, a recovery room and so on, could be easily built anywhere, by combining and attaching many structures together. It could also be possible to get rid of most of the stands like serum stand and the equipment holders and so on, by making use of attachments to the spherical roof of a surgery theater or a dental clinic or the injection room and so on (FIG. 10).

Another good application of the structure is in putting up toilets and showers, which is achieved very well, in every aspect. It is worth mentioning, that The “Safe immediate accommodation structures” could act as a liquid, water or sewage tank and so on, by fabricating the pieces with the right amount of thickness and making the connecting grooves and joints, completely water-proof (FIG. 11).

The limitations for the research teams and nature guards in protected areas, for accommodation could be eliminated, from forests to mountains and under water projects, due to the special features of this structure. The fast assembly and dismantling, and also sturdiness of the structure, provides for the security of the people present in the wilderness, where close to extinction animals like the Iranian Leopard is living.

The chief amongst the properties of the structure while in the protected areas could be its independence from building materials, and the past limitations,(constructing a building has not been done without digging for foundation before) at the time of assembly and dismantling.(FIG. 12)

In fact, it could be claimed with frankness, that without any limitation we have envisaged all the different aspects of the architecture and the building of an accommodation complex structure.

It is so much so, that having paid attention to the aesthetic aspect of the structure, it could be used in construction of the recreational complexes in different combinations. For instance, in corporation with a high post, a decorative tower could be exhibited (FIG. 13).

INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY

One of the most important applications of The “Safe immediate accommodation structures” is to provide for the needs of accommodating people in catastrophic or unpredictable conditions. The structure is a great help to the managers who need a highly secured living quarters for their personnel in a short space of time. The simple shape of the structure together with the easy assembly routine enables any unskilled person to attempt attaching the pieces together and making a accommodation. Erecting temporary accommodation for the workers and putting up quick workshops in construction companies is one of the priorities. In fact, the structure is applicable to many industries, such as. Farming of chicken, fish, and so on.

Providing living spaces, schools and medical camps and so on, in the difficult to reach and rural areas.

The structure could improve the architecture and the elemental factors of a building and adjoin with and conform to the different parts of it. Furthermore, it could be possible to cover the outer surface of the sphere with any type of building materials, like tiles, gypsum, cement, stone. Therefore, there could be a potential for interconnecting, or completely combining the structure with one or more other types of structure in a permanent building.

The structure could be used in the private or public landscaping in the city as bowers in children and adults parks and similar applications.

It could be very suitable and versatile in its applications at recreational and touristic places. For instance, it could act as a beach hut, as the floor can be made water-resistant, and its potential for increasing in height could be very practical too.
