IMPROVEMENTS TO MODULAR DWELLINGS

摘要

The invention relates to modular dwellings comprised of a plurality of wall members attached together to enclose an interior area, and a central truss system extending across the dwelling. A lower roof member is supported by a lower chord of the truss system and a wall member, and an upper roof member is supported by an upper chord of the truss system and a wall member. The truss system is supported at each of its ends by a vertical post. The upper part of a wall section and of the upper chord are in co-planar alignment and the lower chord and the upper part of another wall section are in co-planar alignment. The invention further provides wall panels that include an internal frame and a tongue on one side and a groove on the other side which mate with the tongues and grooves of other like panels to compress resiliently deformable seals. A portion of the frame is positioned in the internal side of the extension to support the extension and maintain it in proper alignment during construction.
