FOLDABLE FLOOR ASSEMBLY FOR AN EXPANDABLE SHELTER

摘要

A foldable floor assembly, including an outboard floor panel apparatus including a bottom surface and a top usable surface generally extending in a floor plane and configured to be used when the foldable floor assembly is in an unfolded state and a pivot rail having an inboard surface, the pivot rail movable in a horizontal direction substantially parallel to the floor plane, wherein movement of the inboard surface of the pivot rail in the horizontal direction toward the outboard floor panel apparatus imparts a moment onto the outboard floor panel apparatus when the bottom surface of the outboard floor panel apparatus and the inboard surface of the pivot rail are in contact with one another.

1. A foldable floor assembly, comprising:
an outboard floor panel apparatus including a bottom surface and a top usable surface generally extending in a floor plane and configured to be used when the foldable floor assembly is in an unfolded state; and a pivot rail having an inboard surface, the pivot rail movable in a horizontal direction substantially parallel to the floor plane, wherein movement of the inboard surface of the pivot rail in the horizontal direction toward the outboard floor panel apparatus imparts pushes at least a portion of the outboard floor panel apparatus out of the way of at least a portion of the pivot rail, thereby imparting a moment onto the outboard floor panel apparatus when the bottom surface portion of the outboard floor panel apparatus and the inboard surface portion of the pivot rail are in contact with one another.
