Description:
A CONTAINER FOR AN INDUSTRY HALL The present invention relates to the building of an industry hall, a storehouse, a sport hall, an aeroplane hangar, a service hall and si ilar buildings, which are to be erected at a great distance from the manufacturing factory. The expression industry hall as used in the specification below comprises the above-mentioned different types of buildings as well as other similar buildings.

In order to make a simple transport of the integral parts of the industry hall possible, the parts are according to the present * invention packed together into a container, which fulfils the international con- tainer regulations as faras di ension and strength are concerned. All parts for the industry hall can be contained within the boundary of the container, which can be transported in a conventional way.

According to the present invention the container is built by the roof beams of the industry hall, which may form the outer shell or frame of the container.

In view of the international regulations a container should have . a length of about 12 m(or 9 m). A suitable width of span for a roof beam in the industry hall is 24 . By the expression roof beam is meant a Support composite frame, which Spans between two in l ne ounted ain uprights. The roof beam consists of two in line with each other placed roof beams, which are mounted together at the ridge of the roof. The length of the industry hall determines the nu bers of roof beams required for the building.

According to the present invention two roof beams, which in the industry hall form a roof beam, are mounted together next to each other in order to form a rectangular composite frame having half the length of the roof beam, i.e. 12 m. Two such mounted composite fra es form two side surfaces of the container. The distance between these rectangular composite frames is πaintained by eans of the mounting -members, which are used in

the industry hall in order to connect together the roof beams at the ridge of the roof.

Thus, according to the present invention, parts are provided, which on one hand can be asse bled -to an industry hall and on the other hand can be assembled to a container, which fulfils the international regulations as far as dimensions and strength are concerned. The shell for the container is for ed by roof beams mounted together, and the space inside the container is used for the re aining parts of the industry hall, which may change in dependence of the intended application. Each container has room for parts for a certain maximum size of the industry-hall . If a ' 1arger industry hall is required, this may be provided with' älplurality of Containers. Thus, a very flexible industry hall/container is produced, which heavily reduces the transport costs over long distances, since no unnecessary aterial is transported and the transport package si ply may be transported with the normal transport Systems adapted for Containers. The problem of producing a transportable unity for the details needed for an industry hall or a house has previously been observed and solved, confer especially Norwegian patent specification No. -92215 and Swedish patent specification No. 7705402-1. The drawback by these pre- viously kno n Systems is that they lack flexibility, as one is bound to exactly that size of house which is projected. The advantage of the pre¬ sent invention is that the container is built by the roof beams which are always required in n industry hall while the remaining parts are optional. Thereby a great flexibil ty is achieved. According to the present invention an industry hall container consisting of roof beams and remaining parts for an industry hall or simi¬ lar, is produced. The parts -are mounted together into a container which fulfills the international regulations as to size and weight. The containe is transported to the building place and taken apart whereupon it is mounted together to an industry hall. According to the invention two roof beams are mounted together in line with each other in the industry hall in order to form a composite roof beam. The same two roof beams are mounte together parallel with each other in order to form a rectangular composite frame, which constitutes a side surface of the-xontainer. At least two suc composite frames are arranged alongside and at a distance from each other and are connected together in order to form the said box or container, whi the remaining parts of the industry hall are placed inside the frame of-th container thus formed. The industry hall co prises at least four roof beam

-'

four gable beams and wight mounting embers. By the expression gable beam is meant half the roof beam at the gable side. In the container the roof beams are connected with each other in pairs and form at least two rectangu¬ lar composite frames. At the upper and Tower long side of each rectangular composite frame a gable beam is connected. Each gable beam comprises several mounting ears with mounting holes. Further ore, there are mounting members in the form of girders having mounting holes. The mounting members are connected with the said mounting ears in the gable beams and are directed sidewardly and perpendicularly against the respective rectangular composite frame. The mounting members of two alongside and ät a distance from each other placed rectangular composite frames, are directed against each other . and overlap each other and are connected to each other in order to ount the composite frames spaced from each other. In this way the side surfaces of the container are formed. The parts of the container are dis ountable for the subsequent mounting to an industry hall.

For the purpose of exa plification a prεferred e bodiment of the invention is described below with reference to the acco panying drawing. Fig. 1 shows schematically a gable side of an industry hall -according to the in.vention. Fig. 2 is a cross-section through the industry hall. Fig. 3 shows two roof beams mounted together to a rectangular composite frame. Fig. 4 shows a section of a container mounted together according to the invention. Fig. 5 is an elevation of the container according to Fig. 4 ' . Fig. 6 is plane view of the container according to Fig. 4. Fig. 7 is a detail enlarge ent according to the line VII of Fig. 1. Fig. 8 is a cross- section taken along the line VIII-VIII of Fig. 7. Fig. 9 shows a mounting me bεr according to the invention.

Figs. 1 and 2 schematically show an industry hall according to the present invention. Fig. 1 shows a gable side, which comprises wall uprights 1 of different length, and two gable beams 2 for the roof. Fig. 2 shows a cross-section through the '.ήndustry hall with main uprights 3 and roof beams 4. Fig. 2 shows two roof beams 4 mounted together at the centre and resting on two main uprights 3. Each roof beam 4 consists of an upper 5 and a. lower 6 longitudinal girder.and intermediate vertical and diagonal girders. The lower longitudinal girder 6 is essentially horizon- tal and the upper longitudinal girder 5 forms an angle with the longitu¬ dinal girder 6 in order to giye the roof a suitable drainage inclincation. The two roof beams 4 are mounted together at the centre by means of mount¬ ing members 7, which are shown in detail in Fig. 9. The main uprights 3

are in any suitable way connected with ce ent blocks, anchored in the ground. hen transporting the industry hall from the manufacturing factory to the building ground, all parts for the building of the industry hall are contained within the ^ boundary of a container, which fulfils the international regulations for Containers in respect of dimensions and strength. Thus a container should have a width of 2435 mm +3, -2 mm, a height of 2410 mm -10 mm and a length of 12187 mm -5 mm. ' There is also a container size with e.g. the length of 9 m.

According to the present invention the roof beam 4 is dimensioned to form a long side at such a container. Thereby the roof beam is divided at the connection area adjacent the ridge of the roof and two roof beams 4 are mounted together as shown in Fig. 3 having respectively upper longi¬ tudinal girder 5 placed adjacent each other and connected to each other by bolts. Each roof beam 4 is manufactured with a length of 12187 mm. Two roof beams of this kind mounted together form a rectangu ar composite frame 8 and are arranged beside each other at a distance from each other corresponding to the width of the container and are connected with each other by means of the above-mentioned mounting members 7, as " dosέr appears in Fig. 4. A greater number of rectangular composite frames 8 may form each side of the container, which is also shown in Fig. 4. .

Each industry hall comprises four gable beams 2, which are mounted inside respectively rectangular composite frame 8 as closer appears in Fig. 4. Each gable beam comprises L-shaped mounting ears 9 as closer appears in Figs. 7 and 8. In the embodi ent shown the gable beam 2 consists of a U-profile as is shown in Fig. 8. On the U-profile, L-shaped mounting ears 9 are equi- distantly wel ' ded as is shown in Figs. 1 and 7. The mounting ears 9 comprise four elongated holes 10 for connection of the roof aterial .

The mounting member 7 consists of a L-shaped beam with a number of mounting holes.11, as is shown in Fig. 9. The mounting member 7 has a length which more than enough corresponds to half the distance between two gable means of the container. The mounting members are connected by screws in the L-shaped mounting ears 9 of the gable beams, cf. Fig. 4. Thereupon, the two mounting members facing and overlapping each other are screwed together. The outer holes 12 of the mounting member 7 are positioned closer to the adjacent .holes 11 than the distance between the remaining holes 11 of the mounting member 7, whereby it is possible to adjust the total length of the two mounting members 7 mounted together so that the width of the

container will be that intended. The modular distance between the holes 11 is suitably 100 mm, while the distance between the. hole 12 and the hole 11 is 90 mm.

In order to brace the container shel formed in this way, a number of diagonal braces or crosses 13 are arranged between the mounting ears 9 at both the upper and Tower surface of the container, cf. Fig. 6. These diagonal braces are used to support the wall uprights in the industry hall, cf. Fig. 1. Figs. 5 and 6 show the container mounted together according to the invention in a side view and a plane view. The inner space of the container is now used to contain wall uprights 1 , ' ain uprights 2, roof planes, Windows, doors, fasade plate etc. In Fig. 5 wall uprights placed on top of the mounting members 7 are indicated by dashed lines. The wall uprights are screwed together to a package and the package is wedged by wood wedges or in another way seoured in the container. The rest of the material is packaged and packed together in a suitable way and secured in the container.

The roof beams 4 co prise corner mountings 14 at the comers posi¬ tioned on the outside of the rectangular composite frame, cf,. fig. 6. This corner mounting forms engage ent members for the lifting cranes etc, which handle the container during the transport. In the industry hall the corner mounting 14' does not disturb the normal construction.

An preferred embodiroent has been described above for the sake of examplification but a person skilled in the art realizes that this e bodi- ment can be modifiedlin many different ways within the scope of the inven¬ tion. E.g. the roof beams can be made in many different ways with composite frames or merely supporting beams and the exact form is. of no importance as soon as the roof beams can be assembled to a rectangular frame which can form the side surface of the container.
