Abstract
Abstract A mobile building adapted to provide shelter for such items as autos and boats has a U-shaped sill frame formed of steel tubing. Secured respectively to the middle of the two sides of the sill frame are two vertical supports which are connected at their tops by a cross bar. Sheet metal walls and a roof are carried by the sill frame with a door provided at the open end of the sill frame. Movement of the building is effected by a pair of wheels each of which is rotatable in a bracket which is pivotally mounted at the lower inner end portion of the respective vertical supports. The wheels may be moved into and out of operative position by means of an elongate lever which is secured to each bracket and adapted to be held by latching means along the adjacent support when the wheels are in operative position. Inclined tubular members secured to the inner sides of the sill frame are adapted to receive pins which are driven into the ground for anchoring the building. Detachably secured to an end of the building is a hitch having side arms which telescope into the exposed open ends of the sides of the sill frame.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
224 words
A mobile building comprising a sill frame having parallel sides connected by an end portion, a pair of vertical supports secured, respectively, to the two sides of the sill frame opposite each other and between the front and rear end portions of the sill frame, a cross bar connecting the upper portions of the two supports, sheet material walls extending upwardly from the sides and end portions of the sill frame, a roof of sheet material mounted above the walls and supported by the cross bar, the sill frame being adapted to rest on the ground when the building is in use, means to facilitate moving of the building comprising a bracket pivotally mounted at the lower inner side of each support, a wheel rotatably mounted on each bracket, an elongate lever fixed to and extending away from each bracket and lying in a vertical plane between the wheel and support whereby each bracket may be turned selectively to bring the wheels into supporting relation with the sides of the building with the wheels extending below the sill frame and with the levers extending upwardly along the respectively adjacent supports, latching means carried by the supports for selectively holding the levers in vertical position, and hitching means detachably secured to the lower part of the building whereby it may be towed by a vehicle.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
224 words
A mobile building comprising a sill frame having parallel sides connected by an end portion, a pair of vertical supports secured, respectively, to the two sides of the sill frame opposite each other and between the front and rear end portions of the sill frame, a cross bar connecting the upper portions of the two supports, sheet material walls extending upwardly from the sides and end portions of the sill frame, a roof of sheet material mounted above the walls and supported by the cross bar, the sill frame being adapted to rest on the ground when the building is in use, means to facilitate moving of the building comprising a bracket pivotally mounted at the lower inner side of each support, a wheel rotatably mounted on each bracket, an elongate lever fixed to and extending away from each bracket and lying in a vertical plane between the wheel and support whereby each bracket may be turned selectively to bring the wheels into supporting relation with the sides of the building with the wheels extending below the sill frame and with the levers extending upwardly along the respectively adjacent supports, latching means carried by the supports for selectively holding the levers in vertical position, and hitching means detachably secured to the lower part of the building whereby it may be towed by a vehicle.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
29 words
The structure in claim 1 wherein the sill frame is substantially U-shaped and a door opening is provided in the wall at the open end of the sill frame.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
49 words
The structure recited in claim 1 wherein the parallel sides are tubular and have their ends exposed on at least one end of the building and the hitching means has two side arms which may be telescoped into the exposed ends of the tubular sides and locked in position.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
66 words
The structure recited in claim 1 and further including means for anchoring the building to the ground when the wheels are retracted comprising tubular members secured to and spaced along the inner portions of the sill frame with the axes of the tubular openings inclined to the vertical and adapted to receive anchoring pins which are driven into the ground to effect anchoring of the building.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
145 words
In a mobile building having a sill, a plurality of vertical supports extending upwardly from the sill for supporting the roof structure and at least two wheels carried by the sill for use in moving the building, the combination of a bracket for each wheel, each bracket being mounted to turn about a pivot carried at the lower portion of a support, each wheel being rotatably mounted on a bracket, an elongate lever attached to and extending away from each bracket and lying in a vertical plane between the wheel and the adjacent support whereby the bracket may be turned selectively to retract the wheels or bring them into supporting relation with the building with the wheels extending below the sill and the levers extending upwardly along the respectively adjacent supports and means carried by the supports for selectively holding the levers in raised position.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
