Abstract

A deployment shelter has: a top panel; and a floor panel provided below the top panel so as to form an internal space between the top panel and the floor panel, the deployment shelter further having: an upper and a lower frame to which the top panel and the floor panel are fixed; a louver board pivotably provided to an end portion of the top panel, the louver board being movable between a stored state and a deployed state; a movable floor panel pivotably provided to an end portion of the floor panel, the movable floor panel being movable between a stored state and a deployed state; a side panel pivotably provided to a free end of the movable floor panel, and movable between a stored state and a deployed state; and a movable wall pivotably provided to the frame, and movable between a stored state and a deployed state.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A deployment shelter having a top panel and a floor panel provided below the top panel so as to form an internal space between the top panel and the floor panel, the deployment shelter comprising:
 a frame to which the top panel and the floor panel are fixed in an immovable fashion;   a louver board which is pivotably provided to an end portion of the top panel, the louver board being movable between a stored state where the louver board is hanged downward and a deployed state where the louver board extends laterally from the frame so as to be continuous with the top panel;   a movable floor panel which is pivotably provided to an end portion of the floor panel, the movable floor panel being movable between a stored state where the movable floor panel is erected upward on the movable floor panel and a deployed state where the movable floor panel extends laterally from the frame so as to be continuous with the floor panel;   a side panel which is pivotably provided to a free end of the movable floor panel, and switched between a stored state where the side panel is stacked on the movable floor panel and a deployed state where the side panel is erected upward when both the louver board and the movable floor panel are in the deployed states; and   a movable wall which is pivotably provided to the frame, and switched between a stored state where the movable wall is erected along the internal space and held and a deployed state where the movable wall covers an end portion of an expanded space by extension of the movable wall lateral to the frame in a state where the louver board, the movable floor panel, and the side panel are all in the deployed states and the expanded space continuous with the internal space is formed.   
     
     
         2 . The deployment shelter according to  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a first actuating mechanism for moving the louver board;   a second actuating mechanism for moving the movable floor panel; and   a third actuating mechanism for moving the side panel,   wherein the first actuating mechanism, the second actuating mechanism, and the third actuating mechanism are stored between the internal space and the louver board when the louver board is in the stored state.   
     
     
         3 . The deployment shelter according to  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a supporting mechanism for moving the movable floor panel without bringing the movable wall into contact with the louver board and the movable floor panel when the movable wall is changed from the stored state to the deployed state in a state where the louver board, the movable floor panel, and the side panel are all in the deployed states.   
     
     
         4 . The deployment shelter according to  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a first positioning mechanism for positioning the louver board in the deployed state and the side panel in the deployed state in a pivotal direction of the side panel;   a second positioning mechanism for positioning the louver board in the deployed state and the movable wall in the deployed state in a pivotal direction of the movable wall;   a third positioning mechanism for positioning the side panel in the deployed state and the movable wall in the deployed state in the pivotal direction of the movable wall; and   a fourth positioning mechanism for positioning the movable wall in the deployed state and the movable floor panel in the deployed state in the pivotal direction of the movable wall.   
     
     
         5 . The deployment shelter according to  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a seal member which is attached to a peripheral edge of the movable wall, and forms seal faces by contact with the louver board in the deployed state, the side panel in the deployed state, and the movable floor panel in the deployed state.   
     
     
         6 . The deployment shelter according to  claim 1 , wherein the first actuating mechanism, the second actuating mechanism, and the third actuating mechanism respectively include hydraulic cylinders which are actuated by hydraulic pressure.
