Description
This invention relates to an expandable trailer house that can be towed by a vehicle, a method for manufacturing an expandable trailer house, and a method for constructing it. The invention described in Patent Document 1 provides a trailer house that allows for smooth insertion and removal of the internal space expansion section and simplifies the structure of the internal space expansion section. To achieve this, the support device for the small room section is composed of a pair of front and rear support roller devices 41, 41. Each support roller device 41 consists of a guide pipe 43 fixed to the underside of the floor of the house body, a support guide pipe 45 slidably inserted into the guide pipe 43, and a support rod 47 slidably inserted into the support guide pipe 45. A vertical-moving roller device 49 is attached to the tip of the support guide pipe 45, and another vertical-moving roller device 49 is attached to the tip of the support rod 47. The invention described in Patent Document 2 is a house with an expandable interior, a method for expanding the interior of the house, and a trailer house. It provides a house with a configuration that prevents a height difference between the main floor panel placed on the floor of the house body when expanded and the internal expansion panel placed in the internal expansion house after expansion. The internal expansion frame comprises a bottom frame portion that is positioned in the gap between the lateral floor portions when pushed in, and rollers mounted above the bottom frame portion at a distance, which travel on guide rails that allow the internal expansion frame to be pulled out and pushed in through an opening in the house body. The invention described in Patent Document 3 proposes a trailer house that, firstly, is easy to move and transport; secondly, is easy to install; thirdly, does not require space for storage, movement, or transport, and can be installed and used in a larger space; and fourthly, can be used for various purposes such as residences, shops, offices, workshops, dormitories, rest areas, and others. This trailer house is towed and has a chassis frame 1, wheels disposed beneath the chassis frame 1, and a house section 3 mounted on the chassis frame 1. The house section 3 comprises a main unit 4 connected and fixed to the chassis frame 1, and a sub-unit 5 assembled inside the main unit 4. Furthermore, a rail section 22 is attached beneath the main unit 4, an extension frame 23 and extension rails 24 are attached to the outside of the chassis frame 1, rollers 25 are attached beneath the sub-unit 5, and connecting parts and lifting legs are attached to the chassis frame 1, etc. The invention described in Patent Document 4 is a camper van in which a basic body with one side open is installed on the cargo bed of a drivable vehicle body, and a movable chamber having a space communicating with the interior of the basic body is arranged to be retractable and retractable relative to the basic body. Furthermore, a movable part of a telescopic drive mechanism, with a fixed part attached to the vehicle body, is connected to the movable chamber, and as needed, the movable chamber can be extended from the basic body using rails and rollers by operating the telescopic drive mechanism. The invention described in Patent Document 5 is a mobile, simple dwelling characterized by a box-shaped structure that forms a main compartment inside, designed to be loadable onto the cargo bed of a vehicle such as a truck or trailer; an auxiliary box-shaped structure that extends outwards from the side of the box-shaped structure, connecting to the main compartment; the auxiliary box-shaped structure that extends outwards from the box-shaped structure expands the interior space, and when the auxiliary box-shaped structure is retracted into the box-shaped structure, the interior space is reduced, allowing for transport. The invention described in Patent Document 6 provides a trailer house that can be expanded to approximately two to three times its towing capacity by unfolding the floor, walls, and roof. It features a mechanism that allows the movable walls to be opened and moved along rails embedded in the floor panels, forming continuous walls with the side wall panels to create walls on all four sides. The invention described in Patent Document 7 proposes an expandable trailer house in which the individual components of a box-frame structure are unfolded without using rails. The structure, which involves folding the side wall components like a screen or rotating the floor and roof components, is described in Figures 2 to 4 and corresponding sections.
