Abstract

A system for the provision of container blocks of fluid to locations in need of said fluid in which system the containers also function as structural elements. The system further comprises structural elements that complement the fluid container blocks, including base tracks, roof rafters, roof material, door and window flap materials. Connecting clips and anchoring spikes function to secure the fluid blocks together and to the ground to form a solid structure. The system provides the means to deliver an emergency supply of water or other fluid to a disaster area or underdeveloped location along with the means to erect temporary structures for shelter using the container blocks as the basic structural element.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A system for shipment and delivery of fluid and construction of shelter structures comprising:
 fluid blocks that carry fluid to locations where it is needed, and having one or more access ports with plugs, and further having recesses into which plugs on other blocks fit when said blocks are assembled into a structure;   clips that secure assembled blocks together;   at least one roof rafter that supports a roof upon a structure;   and roof material.   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1  further comprising:
 at least one base track that aligns and supports a structure wall assembly. 
 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 2  further comprising:
 a plurality of spikes, said spikes anchoring the base track to a substrate beneath a structure. 
 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 1  further comprising:
 a plurality of channel plugs, said plugs fitting into channels on the fluid blocks when assembled such that spaces between the assembled blocks in a structure are closed. 
 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 1  further comprising:
 said at least one roof rafter being a flat element in shipment and comprising fold lines along which said flat element is folded to form a substantially rigid structural member, 
 said flat element further comprising apertures for securing the folded rafter with clips to sustain its substantially rigid form. 
 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 1  in which the clips comprise clip ends that secure the clips into apertures on the fluid blocks, and further comprise raised buttons on what becomes an outer surface of the clips in assembly. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 6  further comprising:
 said roof material being a flat element in shipment and comprising O-rings around its periphery, said O-rings securing said roof material to clip buttons on a wall structure comprising a plurality of fluid blocks. 
 
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 6  further comprising:
 said roof material being a flat element in shipment and comprising clip button holes around its periphery, said clip button holes providing a point of connection to clip buttons on a wall structure comprising a plurality of fluid blocks. 
 
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 1  wherein an access port on a fluid block is a clickspout that comprises a grooved projection from the block that mates into a recess in another block that is formed with a button that engages the grooves in the clickspout making a secure connection.
