A domestic building room module is provided which converts a living room into a smaller room plus another room which may be a bedroom, comprising fixed wall structures enclosing a lower floor and an upper floor, the said upper floor being spaced from the lower floor at a height not exceeding one-third of the height of the wall structures, the said upper floor containing a portion rotatable about a horizontal axis to form in a horizontal position an upper floor portion of the module and in a vert…

A room sized building module made up of a three dimensional skeletal frame comprising wall frames and a ceiling frame constructed as a unitary integral structure adapted to be attached or moulded to a floor, the whole frame being constructed in a reinforced concrete matrix material, the frame being formed around and bonded to a premade sheet of lining material strong enough to be self supporting between the frame members, the lining material and the frame combining together structurally to provi…

A module includes a body shaped as regular polygon such as an equilateral triangular block and is adapted to interlock with other similar modules to form a structure. Projecting outwardly from each edge of the triangular body is a generally triangular tongue having an area not greater than one-third the area of the body, and adjacent each tongue is a slot whose size and shape is similar to the size and shape of the tongue. The slot extends into the body so that, when assembling a structure from …

Prefabricated building modules of a generally elongated tunnel configuration, each module generally being comprised of a unitarily formed, steel reinforced, poured concrete roof portion and side walls extending the length of the roof, the opposed ends thereof being open. A steel reinforced concrete floor slab is formed in a position relative to the roof and side walls whereby it is in direct alignment with and at the proper elevation to be moved between the side walls to its permanent position, …

A connect module (carried by a single structure with control and data input-output pins) interfaces between functional memory stores and conventional components such as main store, to provide data funnelling and parity checking in systems generally of the type shown in copending U.S. application of P.A.E. Gardner et al.; Ser. No. 828,503, filed May 28, 1969 now U.S. Pat. No. 3,585,605. A module comprises buses, data registers, parity checkers continuously checking data in the registers, highways…

A ceiling module and a ceiling composed of a plurality of the ceiling modules. The modules have a planar ceiling-defining area comprising four rectangular panels arranged about an open seat and supported by a frame above the planar area. The frame consists of an H-shaped structure including a pair of end beams and a bridging member which may also act as an enclosure and reflector for a light source mounted above the open seat. The light source may be a U-shaped or linear fluorescent tube having …

A preformed building module is disclosed, the module having a roof or top wall and four upright side walls, the latter having stud-like reinforcing elements, the roof, walls and studs being integrally cast of concrete. The modules are adapted to be associated with each other in the construction of a building. There is also disclosed a building structure embodying modules of the kind described above and further embodying facade walls or panels covering one or more of the module side walls and hav…

Adjustable modules are disclosed for building final products of various sizes from a single-sized, mass-produced unit. In the preferred embodiment, each module is made of mass-produced, left-hand and right-hand sections that are joinable at oppositely facing, abuttable ends by any suitable means–here, dowels that fit into aligned channel halves in the complemental faces of the two sections. By utilizing the split-section aspect, the overall size of the final product, e.g., a door, can be reduce…

A family of modular construction units, formed from a plurality of curved surfaces, which may be interconnected with others of like shape to form a structure defining a volume of space.

A lockout module is adapted to be mounted between an actuator-to-valve mounting kit and a valve actuator, and is operable to lock the valve in either an opened position or a closed position. In a preferred embodiment, the lockout module comprises a housing, a spindle, a lockout pin, and a lockout tab. The lockout pin is inserted in the housing for selective engagement and blocking of the spindle or for releasing the spindle. A padlock is locked through a lockout wheel on the lockout pin and the …
