A FOLDABLE ENCLOSURE

摘要

The present invention provides a foldable enclosure intending as a buildi ng or portion of a building that may be transported to a desired site in a f olded configuration and then expanded into its intended form. The enclosure has a floor and two wall or roof support section extending upwardly from opp osed sides of the floor section. A first roof section spans across the gap b etween the wall or roof support sections. At least a second roof section in provided that is pivotally mounted to the structure to overlie the first roo f section in transit and fold out to extend outwardly substantially in plane with the first roof section in the expanded form. Similarly, second floor s ections may be pivotally mounted to lie adjacent the wall/roof support secti ons in transit and extend outwardly substantially in plane with the first fl oor section when expanded. A further wall section may be pivotally connected to the end of the second floor section so that it may lie parallel and adja cent the second floor section in transit and extend upwardly from the second floor section when expanded to interconnect with the expanded roof and comp lete the enclosure. In the preferred form the structure includes a third roo f section pivotally mounted to the second roof section to further extend the roof in the expanded configuration to meet andconnect with the further wall section.
