Abstract
Abstract A clean space having a desired total volume is formed by coupling unit room bodies in sequence. Alterations in the configuration of clarifying and air-conditioning facilities are carried out easily and quickly, even if the structure and disposition of the clean space are altered. Each of the unit room bodies includes an air-circulator such as a fan unit and a dust catcher such as an air-filter. Each of the unit room bodies also includes an air conditioner-setting space shut off from the clean space in the interior of the unit room body.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
134 words
A plurality of self-contained, independently operable clean room bodies, each body comprising: wall means for forming a sealable enclosure and having opening means for selectively coupling one of said plurality of clean room bodies to a different one of said plurality of clean room bodies so that a common clean room space within said one clean room body and said different clean room body is formed; a first partition means within the enclosure defining an air conditioner setting space therein; a second partition means within the enclosure defining a clean space portion therein that is shut off from said air conditioner-setting space; an air circulator; and a dust catcher, wherein at least one of the plurality of bodies further comprises an air conditioner set in the respective air conditioner-setting space of the one body.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
134 words
A plurality of self-contained, independently operable clean room bodies, each body comprising: wall means for forming a sealable enclosure and having opening means for selectively coupling one of said plurality of clean room bodies to a different one of said plurality of clean room bodies so that a common clean room space within said one clean room body and said different clean room body is formed; a first partition means within the enclosure defining an air conditioner setting space therein; a second partition means within the enclosure defining a clean space portion therein that is shut off from said air conditioner-setting space; an air circulator; and a dust catcher, wherein at least one of the plurality of bodies further comprises an air conditioner set in the respective air conditioner-setting space of the one body.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
50 words
A plurality of self-contained independently operable clean room bodies according to claim 1, in which said opening means for selectively coupling includes two terminals, each of said terminals having a terminal opening, wherein the clean space is formed by coupling together the terminals of at least two of said bodies.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
55 words
A plurality of self-contained independently operable clean room bodies according to claim 1, in which one of said bodies has an additional opening for penetrating the clean space portion in said one body, and said apparatus includes a further body which has a further opening, wherein said further opening is coupled to the additional opening.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
37 words
A plurality of self-contained independently operable clean room bodies according to any one of claim 1, 2, or 3, in which each of said plurality of bodies further comprises an air-conditioner set in the air conditioner-setting space.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
25 words
A plurality of self-contained independently operable clean room bodies according to claim 1, in which the first partition means of each respective body is removeable.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
102 words
A plurality of self-contained independently operable clean room bodies according to claim 1, in which: a first one of said plurality of bodies includes an air-conditioner and a third partition means defining an air current path through which air runs upward, the air current path being located within the enclosure of the first body. wherein said first body is coupled with a second one of said plurality of bodies, so that conditioned air from said air current path of said first body is provided to the clean space portion in the first body and the clean space portion in the second body.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
229 words
A plurality of self-contained, independently operable clean room bodies, each body comprising: wall means for forming a sealable enclosure and having opening means for selectively coupling one of said plurality of clean room bodies to a different one of said plurality of clean room bodies so that a common clean room space within said one clean room body and said different clean room body is formed, removeable partition means mounted to the wall means within the enclosure to define an air conditioner setting space and a clean space portion that is isolated from the air conditioner-setting space when the partition means is attached to the wall means, the air conditioner-setting space being joined with the clean space portion when the partition means is removed from the wall means, an air circulator, and a dust catcher; wherein a first one of the plurality of bodies includes an air-conditioner set in the air conditioner-setting space of the first body, the partition means of a second one of the plurality of bodies is removed to join the respective air conditioner-setting space and clean space portion of the second body, and the first body is coupled with a second one of the plurality of bodies, so that conditioned air from the first body is provided to the clean space portion in the first body and the clean space portion in the second body.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
229 words
A plurality of self-contained, independently operable clean room bodies, each body comprising: wall means for forming a sealable enclosure and having opening means for selectively coupling one of said plurality of clean room bodies to a different one of said plurality of clean room bodies so that a common clean room space within said one clean room body and said different clean room body is formed, removeable partition means mounted to the wall means within the enclosure to define an air conditioner setting space and a clean space portion that is isolated from the air conditioner-setting space when the partition means is attached to the wall means, the air conditioner-setting space being joined with the clean space portion when the partition means is removed from the wall means, an air circulator, and a dust catcher; wherein a first one of the plurality of bodies includes an air-conditioner set in the air conditioner-setting space of the first body, the partition means of a second one of the plurality of bodies is removed to join the respective air conditioner-setting space and clean space portion of the second body, and the first body is coupled with a second one of the plurality of bodies, so that conditioned air from the first body is provided to the clean space portion in the first body and the clean space portion in the second body.
