Housing comprising ventilated hollow elements for lining existing cellars to form shelters

摘要

Current industrially prefabricated shelters give rise to high costs and can be subsequently installed only with a considerably high outlay. The intention is thus to provide a process which permits the lining of cellars to form ground-protection shelters by a simple, cost-effective construction method, without changing the substance of the structure. For this reason, a closed sheet-metal housing is fitted together from standard elements and other hollow elements which are screwed together, which housing is spaced apart from all the cellar sides by means of screw-bolts and can be rapidly dismantled locally in an emergency. The door case is flanged on the housing. The housing ceiling is reinforced, in the case of large cellars, by supported beams. By virtue of controlled air guidance in the casing area outside the housing, the cooling potential of cellar walls and floor is rendered useful. The waste air cools the cellar door in the event of fire. The housing erected by a grid construction method is suitable for installation in cellars of any size. They are predominantly used in homes, where they can be assembled by the building owner himself. <IMAGE>
