ABSTRACT:
A portable, relocatable, erectable building or shelter structure, and method of erecting, utilizing a pair of laterally spaced elongated and segmented base rail assemblies to which are pivotally connected a pair of erectable arch assemblies for each row of a plurality of panels slidably engageable along two opposite sides to each pair of adjacent erectable arch assemblies pivotally connected to the base rail assemblies. The opposite sides of the individual panels other than the panel sides engageable to the adjacent base pivotally connected erectable arch assemblies are configured such as to be sealingly interengageable with the adjacent panel on both sides. The sliding engagement of each row of panels to both adjacent erectable arch assemblies pivotally connected to the base rail assemblies (and when in their vertical positions) constitutes structural retention of such vertical arch assemblies in their substantially upright positions without additional locking devices notwithstanding their pivotal connections to the base rail assemblies, and yet results in a portable erectable shelter or overhead cover structure that is closed and sealed to the elements without additional sealing means or efforts beyond the mere assembly of panels and erectable arches.
The interengaging assembly and relationships between the erectable arch assemblies and panels permits erection of this structure without necessitating absolute ground levelling between the laterally spaced base rail assemblies, as well as without absolute ground levelling throughout the longitudinal lengths of the base rail assemblies. Likewise, the physical engagement and relationships between the erectable arch assemblies and panel member components accomplishes assembly and erection without the necessity for any erection personnel being above ground or base rail level.
One embodiment of an end closure for the building arrangement is shown consisting of a fabric door and hanger construction which is also mountable to the end arch assemblies at ground level before erection. Also, there is shown a side entry door arrangement that can be attached to the erected structure by replacement of two panel members.
