Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a scalable and portable popup worksite system that can provide workspace isolation or separation from the surrounding elements. The present invention offers a system that can be quickly set up and dismantled, adjusted in height to accommodate height constrains, scaled up with multiple units and stowed away in compact and space-saving form.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

In many worksites such as construction and renovation sites, it's inevitable that work activities generate airborne particles, such as saw dust, tile cutting dust, sanding dust, spray painting droplets, etc. The airborne nature of the particles creates difficulties to perform concurrent work activities and work waste cleanup, due to hard-to-control cross-contamination. For example, saw dust and tile cutting dust may contaminate un-dried painting surfaces, while spray painting droplets may contaminate existing finished surfaces. This creates the need for a temporary workspace, in which work waste is contained within the workspace, to prevent cross-contamination to surrounding elements. In other situations, there are needs to protect elements from surrounding airborne particles, such as protecting tools, furniture, un-dried painted parts, etc., from being contaminated by dusts or droplets.

While there are other portable worksites existing in the art, for example, patent Pub. No. US 2020/0230638 A1 and Pat. No. US 2010/0272915 A1, they are limited in the functions of quick and easy assembling/dissembling, and/or compact storage. Due to the temporary nature of the portable worksite, these create their limits. They are also limited in other factors demanded by a temporary worksite, specifically, in the scalability, where larger space is required, and/or the adjustability, where the worksite height must be adjusted to accommodate its external housing constrains.

There are many other portable frame structures existing in prior art in other fields, such as U.S. Pat. Nos. 9,482,026 B2, 7,520,290 B2, and 10,900,249 B2. However, they serve respective objectives in their fields but not for the scalable and portable worksite objectives.

Therefore, there is a strong need for an economical and portable worksite that can be quickly assembled and dissembled, can be easily adjusted in height, can be scaled up with multiple units, and can be stowed away in compact form when the worksite is not needed.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The primary object of the present invention is to provide a foldable popup frame structure that can be quickly and easily assembled and dissembled, and in compact storage form.

The second object is to provide a roof and wall cover retaining system that can attach existing commercially available plastic sheeting and/or other fabrics to the frame structure, so as to cover the roof and walls to form an isolated workspace.

The other object is to provide capacity of height adjustment when setting up the frame structure, so that the frame structure's height can be adjusted to accommodate its exterior housing constrains, such as a ceiling limit imposed by a garage or a room in which the frame structure is being setup.

The other object is to provide capacity to scale up the workspace by linking multiple units of the frame structure.

The other object is to provide a ventilation system that can utilize a commercial standard furnace air filter to filter airborne particles or droplets, and force air circulation inside the worksite by an existing air circulation device such as a blower fan, or through ducting to other ventilation blowers, or by customization to utilize an existing bathroom exhaust fan and so on.

To the accomplishment of the above and related objects, this invention may be embodied in the preferred embodiments illustrated in the accompanying drawings. It should be noted however, that the drawings are illustrative only, and that various embodiments can be made to achieve the same objectives.

FIG. 1 illustrates a scalable and portable popup frame structure (referred to as a frame structure hereon) in its deployed position in the first preferred embodiment. The frame structure may comprise a plurality of telescopic posts 100 vertically standing on the ground, a plurality of foldable wall trusses 200 transversely connecting the adjacent telescopic posts 100 to form a closed loop wall frame structure, a centrally disposed roof connector assembly 400, and a plurality of foldable roof trusses 300 transversely connecting the telescopic posts 100 and the roof connector assembly 400 to form a roof. The outermost surfaces of the closed loop wall frame structure define a geometric footprint of the worksite and the telescopic posts 100 define the vertices of the geometric footprint.

FIG. 1 further shows a plurality of cover retaining assemblies 800, which may be independent of the frame structure, installed after the frame structure is set up to attach cover of the wall openings to the telescopic posts 100, and taken off when the frame structure is folded for storage. The frame structure may be popped up from the center without any tools, and covered by readily available sheeting such as clear plastic sheeting. A user may first cover the sheeting over the roof, then wrap the sheeting around the wall openings to form an isolated workspace. The preferred roof in the preferred embodiments is a flat roof; however, in some embodiments a roof peak may be formed. The preferred roof truss connection in the first preferred embodiment is from the telescopic post 100 to the roof connector assembly 400; however, as disclosed in the second preferred embodiment (FIG. 46), in some embodiments the connection may come from different part of the wall frame structure to provide like support to the roof and reinforcement to the wall frame structure. The preferred geometrical footprint of the frame structure in the preferred embodiments is a square; however, in some embodiments the geometrical footprint may be a rectangle or a regular polygon. One roof connector assembly 400 is used in the preferred embodiments, however, in some embodiments a plurality of roof connector assemblies may be used.

FIG. 2 illustrates two identical frame structures may be linked together by frame linkage assemblies 900. A user may scale up workspace by linking multiple identical units.

FIG. 3 illustrates the frame structure in a folded and retracted position in the first preferred embodiment. The telescopic posts 100 are retracted and the roof trusses 300 and wall trusses 200 are folded and bunched. The frame structure may be collapsed and folded into compact size for storage and transportation without any tools when not needed.

FIG. 4 illustrates how the frame linkage assembly 900 may be put together in the preferred embodiments. The frame linkage assembly 900 may comprise a bracket 901 and a coupling bracket 902. The bracket 901 may comprise a body having a bracket end sized and shaped to be clamped on the telescopic post 100 and a hinge end having a vertical hinge.

The outer post 100 is preferably longer than the longitudinal member 201 (FIG. 22) of the roof truss 200 so that when in the folded position the longitudinal member 201 will not interfere with the height adjustor 600. The height adjustment mechanism enables a user to adapt to the ceiling limits in an indoor environment. The post cap bracket 103 may be affixed to the top of the outer post 101 by fasteners 104. The inner post 102 may have a foot pad to form its foundation. The foot pad may have a hole which can be, but need not be, secured to some sort of foundation, such as a ground or a wood foundation.

The preferred tubular shape in the preferred embodiments is a square. However, in some embodiments tubing with various shapes may be used and more than two telescopic post sections may be used to form the telescopic post 100.

FIG. 5 further illustrates how the cover retaining assemblies 800 (FIG. 34) may be installed on the telescopic post 100 in the first preferred embodiment. The male mounting clamps 801 may be mounted onto the upper, middle and lower portions of the telescopic post 800 via fastener 804 and fastener 805, after the frame structure is deployed. A user may cover a sheeting over the telescopic posts 100 having the male mounting clamp 801 already installed, then push the female mounting clamp 802 over the sheeting to engage the male mounting clamp 801, so as to secure the sheeting to the telescopic posts 100.

The post slider body 501 may further comprise a pair of hinge seats on both vertical sides of a wall on the lower body, a pin hole penetrating the middle of said wall above said pair of hinge seats. The horizontal slots of the post slider body 501 may be paired up with the respective horizontal slots of the post cap bracket 103 on the same telescopic post 100 to be pivotally connected to the respective adjacent wall trusses 200 and the respective roof truss 300. The lever 505 may comprise a jaw side having a hollow cylinder hinge seat on its upper body, a pair of hinge seats in the middle and a handle side on its lower body. The lever 505 may be pivotally connected to the post slider body 501 via the hinge 507 and the spring 503, through the pair of hinge seats on the lever 505 and the pair of hinge seats on the post slider body 501, forming a spring clamp structure. The position pin 504 sized and shaped to be received into the pin hole on the post slider body 501 may be pivotally connected to the hollow cylinder hinge seat via the second hinge 506, and axially aligned with the pin hole on the post slider body 501. When the frame structure is in the deployed position, the pin hole on the post slider body 501 is further aligned with the upper position pin hole on the outer post 101 and the spring clamp structure enables the position pin 504 to be automatically engaged with the aligned pin holes. When the handle of the lever 505 is pressed down, the position pin 504 is disengaged, allowing the post slider bracket 500 to slide along the outer post 101.

FIG. 10 further shows the construction details of the post slider bracket 500 in the first preferred embodiment, through a combination of orthographic, sectional and perspective views.

The height adjustor 600 may comprise a height adjustor body 601, a first pin 502, a spring 503, a position pin 504, a lever 505 and a second pin 506. The height adjustor body 601 may comprise a hollow tubular passage having a plurality of walls sized and shaped to receive the outer post 101, whereof the bottom end of the passage may have a narrower inward rim sized and shaped to slidably receive the inner post 102, allowing the bottom of the outer post 101 to go through from the top and rest on the rim at the bottom. The height adjustor body 601 may further comprise a pair of hinge seats on two vertical sides of a wall and a pin hole sized and shaped to receive the position pin 504 penetrating the upper middle of said wall. The first pin 502, the spring 503, the position pin 504, the lever 505 and the second pin 506 may be the same as their counterparties on the post slider bracket 500. The lever 505 thereof may be pivotally connected to the height adjustor body 601 in the same way as on the post slider bracket 500, forming a spring clamp structure. The height adjustor assembly 600 thereof may be affixed to the bottom of the outer post 101 via fasteners or suitable bonding agents, and the pin hole on the height adjustor body 601 thereof may be axially aligned with the position pin 504 and the lower position pin hole of the outer post 101 in the fixed position. When the position pin 504 is further axially aligned with one of the plurality of position pin holes on the inner post 102 during deployment, the spring clamp structure enables the position pin 504 to be automatically engaged with the respective aligned pin holes. When the handle of the lever 505 is pressed down, the position pin 504 is disengaged, allowing the outer post 101 to axially slide along the inner post 102. It's by this way the height of frame structure can be adjusted to adapt to the ceiling constrains of an indoor environment.

FIG. 12 further shows the construction details of the height adjustor 600 in the preferred embodiments, through a combination of orthographic, sectional and perspective views.
