Modular structure

Abstract

A modular structure includes a first container and a second container. The modular structure also includes at least two locking devices, wherein the at least two locking devices couple the first container to the second container. The first and second containers have a compact configuration and an expanded configuration. In the expanded configuration the first and second containers are separated by a distance that is greater than distance of separation in the compact configuration.

         3 . The modular structure of  claim 2 , wherein the at least two locking tubes are each configured to be releasably coupled at a first end to the first container and at a second end to the second container. 
     
     
         4 . The modular structure of  claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of panels. 
     
     
         5 . The modular structure of  claim 4 , wherein the plurality of panels being configured to be releasably coupled to at least one of a top surface of the first or second container. 
     
     
         6 . The modular structure of  claim 5 , wherein the plurality of panels are configured to be interconnected with one another when they are coupled to at least one of a top surface of the first or second container. 
     
     
         7 . The modular structure of  claim 1 , further comprising a tow hitch, wherein the tow hitch is configured to be releasably engaged with one of the first container or the second container. 
     
     
         8 . The modular structure of  claim 1 , further comprising at least two wheel hubs, wherein the at least two wheel hubs are configured to be releasably engaged with one of the first container or the second container. 
     
     
         9 . The modular structure of  claim 8 , wherein one of the at least two wheel hubs is configured to be releasably engaged with the first container. 
     
     
         10 . The modular structure of  claim 8 , wherein one of the at least two wheel hubs is configured to be releasably engaged with the second container. 
     
     
         11 . The modular structure of  claim 8 , further comprising at least two wheels, wherein each of the at least one wheel is coupled to a corresponding one of the at least two wheel hubs. 
     
     
         12 . The modular structure of  claim 8 , further comprising at least one axle, wherein the at least one axle is coupled to both the first container and the second container. 
     
     
         13 . The modular structure of  claim 8 , further comprising at least one roller, wherein the at least one roller is coupled to at least one of the first container or the second container. 
     
     
         14 . The modular structure of  claim 8 , further comprising at least one jack, wherein the jack is configured to lift the modular structure. 
     
     
         15 . The modular structure of  claim 8 , wherein the first and second containers have a compact configuration and an expanded configuration, wherein in the expanded configuration the first and second containers are separated by a distance that is greater than a distance of separation in the compact configuration. 
     
     
         16 . The modular structure of  claim 15 , further comprising at least one expansion device, wherein the at least one expansion device is configured to allow for separation of the first and second container from the compact configuration to the expanded configuration. 
     
     
         17 . The modular structure of  claim 16 , wherein the at least one expansion device comprises at least two expansion devices, wherein the at least two expansion devices form a floor support structure. 
     
     
         18 . The modular structure of  claim 17 , wherein the at least two expansion devices are coupled at a first end to one of the first or second containers and a jack at a second end thereof such that the other one of the first or second container is between the jack and the first end. 
     
     
         19 . The modular structure of  claim 18 , wherein the other one of the first or second container moves along the at least two expansion devices between the compact configuration and expanded configuration. 
     
     
         20 . The modular structure of  claim 17 , further comprising at least one floor panel, wherein the at least one floor panel is configured to be placed on top of the floor support structure in the expanded configuration.
