Abstract

A prefabricated portable building that meets flat pack pallet standards of the North Atlantic Trade Organization (NATO) is provided. The prefabricated building, includes 2 end units, wherein each end unit includes an outer wall, an inner wall, a roof, and a floor, wherein the outer wall and the floor converge to form an edge having an angle of less than 90 degrees, and wherein the inner wall and the floor converge to form an angle of about 90 degrees.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A prefabricated portable flat pack building, the prefabricated flat pack building being a single unit building, comprising: 
 2 end units, wherein each end unit includes an outer wall, an inner wall, a roof, and a floor, wherein the outer wall and the floor converge to form an edge having an angle of less than 90 degrees, and wherein the inner wall and the floor converge to form an angle of about 90 degrees.    
     
     
         2 . The prefabricated flat pack building of  claim 1 , wherein component parts of the prefabricated flat pack building are configured to be flat pack capable onto a base of the prefabricated flat pack building.  
     
     
         3 . The prefabricated flat pack building of  claim 2 , wherein the component parts are stackable upon each other to fit into a pallet standardized by the North Atlantic Trade Organization (NATO).  
     
     
         4 . The prefabricated portable flat pack building of  claim 1 , further comprising at least one of: 
 solar protection;    insulation material;    nuclear biological and chemical (NBC) lining along interior surfaces;    insect screens for doors and windows;    rain water collection and storage mechanisms;    ballistic protection, applique armor, up to about 7.62 standard NATO ball;    load spread plates to cater for unstable ground; and    a multiple solid fuel stove for cooking and heating.    
     
     
         5 . The prefabricated flat pack building of  claim 1 , wherein the prefabricated flat pack building includes component parts that are easily deployable.  
     
     
         6 . The prefabricated flat pack building of  claim 1 , wherein the prefabricated flat pack building includes component parts that are mobile.  
     
     
         7 . The prefabricated flat pack building of  claim 1 , wherein the prefabricated flat pack building is configured to be used in an environment in which a building structure is desirable.  
     
     
         8 . The prefabricated flat pack building of  claim 7 , wherein the environment is at least one of: 
 a dressing station;    a hospital;    a workshop;    a classroom;    a field kitchen;    a trauma center;    an administration facility;    a mobile command center;    a store; and    an accommodation.    
     
     
         9 . A prefabricated portable flat pack building, the prefabricated flat pack building being a multiple unit building comprising: 
 2 end units, wherein each end unit includes an outer wall, an inner wall, a roof, and a floor, wherein the outer wall and the floor converge to form an edge having an angle of less than 90 degrees, and wherein the inner wall and the floor converge to form an angle of about 90 degrees; and    one or more intermediate units, wherein the one or more intermediate units share a same angle measurements of the 2 end units.    
     
     
         10 . The prefabricated portable flat pack building of  claim 9 , further comprising a joining corridor, wherein the joining corridor is situated between two rows of the multiple unit building, and wherein the joining corridor shares inner walls with the two rows of the multiple unit building.  
     
     
         11 . An end unit of a prefabricated portable flat pack building, comprising: 
 an outer wall;    an inner wall;    a roof; and    a floor, wherein the outer wall and the floor converge to form an edge having an outer wall angle of less than 90 degrees, and wherein the inner wall and the floor converge to form an inner wall angle of about 90 degrees.    
     
     
         12 . The end unit of  claim 11 , wherein the outer wall angle is between about 86 degrees and 88 degrees.  
     
     
         13 . The end unit of  claim 11 , wherein the outer wall angle is a slight angle inward.  
     
     
         14 . The end unit of  claim 11 , wherein the outer wall and the roof converge to form an edge having a roof-outer wall angle of between about 98 degrees and 100 degrees, and wherein the inner wall and the roof converge to form an edge having a roof-inner wall angle of between about 83 degrees and 85 degrees.
