Transportable building and foundation beams therefor

摘要

The transportable building is made of side-by-side building sections mounted on parallel foundation beams. Each building section has a skate clamp mounted thereto for sequential sliding and clamping engagements to one of two foundation beams. In another aspect, each of the beams has a removable receiving end attached thereto. Each receiving end has a V-shaped trough on an upper surface thereof to facilitate the alignment of building sections onto the foundation beams during the assembly of the transportable building. In yet another aspect, each foundation beam has workable jacks at each end thereof and a series of self-adjusting jacks mounted thereto between the workable jacks for supporting the transportable building on an uneven ground surface.

主权项

1. A transportable building comprising side-by-side building sections and parallel foundation beams mounted for supporting said building sections on a ground surface;
each of said building sections having a roof and opposite vertical wall panels; each of said vertical wall panels having a skate clamp mounted thereon; said skate clamp having a sliding surface for sliding engagement with one of said foundation beams and a clamping surface; an adjustable mechanism associated with said clamping surface for selectively pulling said clamping surface and said vertical wall panel against said foundation beam, for forcefully retaining said vertical wall panel to said foundation beam; said foundation beam having a T-shaped rail mounted thereon; said skate clamp having a T-shaped slot formed therein, and said T-shaped slot being engagedly slidable onto said T-shaped rail; each of said foundation beams comprising a receiving end, and said receiving end having a V-shaped trough on an upper side thereof for receiving a bottom edge of one of said vertical wall panels, and said T-shaped rail having opposite flange portions thereof removed along a segment of said V-shaped trough for engagement of said T-shaped slot onto said T-shaped rail.
