Abstract

With regard to mobile residential facilities such as camping cars, provided is a wing body-type truck vehicle to which a removable residential facility is mounted. When the residential facility is installed inside a cargo compartment of the wing body-type truck vehicle, one or more fixing mechanisms attached to the vehicle (e.g., to the load bed frame of the vehicle) prevent relative movement of the residential facility and the load bed of the vehicle. To separate the residential facility from the cargo compartment, the one or more fixing mechanisms are removed, thus allowing the residential facility to move relative to the load bed frame and be removed.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A vehicle and residential facility comprising a wing body-type truck vehicle and a removable residential facility,
 the wing body-type truck vehicle comprising:
 a load bed having a load bed frame; and 
 a cargo compartment defined at least in part by the load bed and wings above the load bed configured to be selectively raised and lowered; 
   the residential facility positionable inside the cargo compartment of the wing body-type truck vehicle and comprising:
 outer walls; 
 one or more fixing mechanisms configured to be selectively attached to the vehicle to prevent relative movement of the residential facility and the load bed frame and selectively removed to allow the residential facility to be removed from the cargo compartment; and 
 at least one window in an outer wall and positioned to be selectively covered when an adjacent wing of the wing body-type truck vehicle is selectively lowered and uncovered when the adjacent wing is selectively raised so as to let in outside light. 
   
     
     
         2 . The vehicle and residential facility of  claim 1 , wherein the load bed frame comprises a floor hole to which at least one fixing mechanism of the residential facility is selectively attached and removed. 
     
     
         3 . The vehicle and residential facility of  claim 2 , wherein the one or more fixing mechanisms comprise a plurality of floor hole fixing belts corresponding to the plurality of floor holes. 
     
     
         4 . The vehicle and residential facility of  claim 1 , where the residential facility includes a roof and a fixing mechanism associated with the roof. 
     
     
         5 . The vehicle and residential facility of  claim 1 , wherein the residential facility further includes an entrance. 
     
     
         6 . The vehicle and residential facility of  claim 5 , wherein the vehicle further comprises a tailgate lifter configured to be selectively raised and lowered. 
     
     
         7 . The vehicle and residential facility of  claim 6 , wherein the tailgate lifter is configured to be positioned at a same height as a residential surface of the residential facility adjacent to the entrance in order to enlarge the residential surface. 
     
     
         8 . The vehicle and residential facility of  claim 7 , further comprising steps that can be attached to the tailgate lifter. 
     
     
         9 . The vehicle and residential facility of  claim 7 , the vehicle further comprises a side gate configured to be selectively raised to partially cover an outer wall of the residential facility and selectively lowered to a same height as the residential surface in order to enlarge the residential surface. 
     
     
         10 . The vehicle and residential facility of  claim 5 , wherein the vehicle further comprises a rear door configured to be selectively opened and closed to selectively cover and uncover the entrance of the residential facility. 
     
     
         11 . The vehicle and residential facility of  claim 10 , further comprising an entrance roof that can be selectively attached adjacent to the entrance and rear door. 
     
     
         12 . The vehicle and residential facility of  claim 1 , the residential facility comprising a plurality of windows that are selectively covered when an adjacent wing of the wing body-type truck vehicle is lowered and uncovered when the adjacent wing is raised. 
     
     
         13 . The vehicle and residential facility of  claim 1 , wherein the outer walls of the residential facility and the wings of the vehicle provide a double outer wall. 
     
     
         14 . A vehicle and residential facility comprising a wing body-type truck vehicle and a removable residential facility,
 the wing body-type truck vehicle comprising:
 a load bed having a load bed frame; and 
 a cargo compartment defined at least in part by the load bed, wings above the load bed configured to be selectively raised and lowered, a rear door configured to be selectively opened and closed, and a tailgate lifter adjacent to the rear door and configured to be selectively raised and lowered; 
   the residential facility positionable inside the cargo compartment of the wing body-type truck vehicle and comprising:
 outer walls; 
 one or more fixing mechanisms configured to be selectively attached to the vehicle to prevent relative movement of the residential facility and the load bed frame and selectively removed to allow the residential facility to be removed from the cargo compartment; 
 at least one window in an outer wall and positioned to be selectively covered when an adjacent wing of the wing body-type truck vehicle is selectively lowered and uncovered when the adjacent wing is selectively raised so as to let in outside light; and 
 an entrance positioned so as to be selectively covered when the rear door of the vehicle is selectively closed and uncovered when the rear door is selectively opened. 
   
     
     
         15 . The vehicle and residential facility of  claim 14 , wherein the load bed frame comprises a plurality of floor holes and the one or more fixing mechanisms comprise a plurality of floor hole fixing belts corresponding to the plurality of floor holes. 
     
     
         16 . The vehicle and residential facility of  claim 14 , wherein the residential facility includes a roof and a fixing mechanism associated with the roof.
