Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim 381 words
In a building structure: a core including opposed vertical side walls, end walls at the forward and rearward ends of said side walls, a roof between and secured to the upper ends of said side walls, a floor between and secured to the lower ends of said side walls, the horizontal distance between said side walls being substantially the same as the width of said roof and floor, whereby said core is suitable for conveyance along a public highway; a pair of extension roof members at opposite sides of said core and substantially coextensive with said roof; a pair of extension floor members at opposite sides of said core and substantially coextensive with said floor; means pivotally securing said floor members to said core adjacent the sides of said floor; means pivotally securing said roof members to said core adjacent the sides of said roof, whereby said floor member and roof member at each side wall are swingable from a vertical position overlapping each other adjacent a side wall to a substantially horizontal position vertically spaced from each other, and with said floor members extending in opposite directions from said floor and said roof members extending in opposite directions from said roof; downwardly facing upper guide members on each roof member; upwardly facing lower guide members on each floor member opposed to said upper guide members; separate wall panels storable in said core between said side walls and movable into position between and connected to said upper and lower guide members of each floor member and each roof member to provide one or more enclosed spaces between each floor member and each roof member; and means securing adjacent wall panels to each other; spaced supporting posts extending between each floor member and each roof member on opposite sides of said core to support said roof members in their substantially horizontal positions to facilitate mounting of said wall panels between said upper and lower guide members; said supporting posts including means for adjusting their effective length to initiAlly locate said roof members above their final positions to permit placement of said panels between said upper and lower guide members and then effect lowering of said roof members to their final positions with said panels secured between said upper and lower guide members.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 381 words
In a building structure: a core including opposed vertical side walls, end walls at the forward and rearward ends of said side walls, a roof between and secured to the upper ends of said side walls, a floor between and secured to the lower ends of said side walls, the horizontal distance between said side walls being substantially the same as the width of said roof and floor, whereby said core is suitable for conveyance along a public highway; a pair of extension roof members at opposite sides of said core and substantially coextensive with said roof; a pair of extension floor members at opposite sides of said core and substantially coextensive with said floor; means pivotally securing said floor members to said core adjacent the sides of said floor; means pivotally securing said roof members to said core adjacent the sides of said roof, whereby said floor member and roof member at each side wall are swingable from a vertical position overlapping each other adjacent a side wall to a substantially horizontal position vertically spaced from each other, and with said floor members extending in opposite directions from said floor and said roof members extending in opposite directions from said roof; downwardly facing upper guide members on each roof member; upwardly facing lower guide members on each floor member opposed to said upper guide members; separate wall panels storable in said core between said side walls and movable into position between and connected to said upper and lower guide members of each floor member and each roof member to provide one or more enclosed spaces between each floor member and each roof member; and means securing adjacent wall panels to each other; spaced supporting posts extending between each floor member and each roof member on opposite sides of said core to support said roof members in their substantially horizontal positions to facilitate mounting of said wall panels between said upper and lower guide members; said supporting posts including means for adjusting their effective length to initiAlly locate said roof members above their final positions to permit placement of said panels between said upper and lower guide members and then effect lowering of said roof members to their final positions with said panels secured between said upper and lower guide members.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 46 words
In a building structure as defined in claim 1; each of said wall panels having lower rollable means thereon adapted to ride along said lower guide members to facilitate horizontal movement of each wall panel to its predetermined location between said upper and lower guide members.
