摘要: A folding hard-wall locker includes a frame, a front door connected to the frame for opening and closing the locker, and accordion-like folding side-walls connected to the frame. Each of the folding side-walls has first and second edges facing away from the frame. For each of the folding side-walls, the length of the first edge plus the length of the second edge is greater than the height of the door (and of the frame). In operation, the locker may be unfolded, assembled, and positioned for use within a shelter. The combined lengths of the first and second edges is greater than any dimension of the locker before the locker is unfolded from its shipping configuration. Among other things, the unfolded, assembled locker is adapted to fit beneath an angled ceiling of a flexible shelter.

摘要: A portable shelter with low emissivity is provided for sheltering materials or human occupants at a remote location. The shelter has a flexible, multi-layer cover, including a vinyl material, reflective material located inside and immediately adjacent to the vinyl material, and insulation material located inside the reflective material. The low-ε vinyl cover is lightweight and thermally efficient. The shelter may be adapted for use with interior-climate control equipment at the remote location.

摘要: A portable shelter is provided for sheltering materials or human occupants at a remote location. The shelter includes, among other things, a flexible cover and a supporting frame. In operation, hinged members that are part of the frame are used to support a first portion and then a second portion of the shelter. Before the frame is raised up, the people who are constructing it can easily reach the top parts of the shelter without a stepladder or the like. By avoiding the need for a stepladder, the overall size and weight of the assembled components that have to be transported to the remote location can be reduced, and the shelter can be constructed more quickly and easily. Hinges, purlin connections, and corner closure systems for the shelter are also disclosed.

摘要: A portable shelter is provided with a flexible vestibule adapter and a flexible connector connected to the same wall, concentrically surrounding a door. Individual shelter elements may be deployed for functionally different end uses and are protected from weathering and damage when not in use, and the stored elements do not get in the way of other end uses. For example, the vestibule adapter and the flexible connector may be rolled up on themselves for storage individually or together, depending on the desired end-use configuration.

摘要: Heating, ventilating and air conditioning are provided to a temporary, flexible shelter, especially in a rugged, remote and/or extreme environment, including locations and/or conditions where access to electric power may be limited and/or expensive. A portable system may include a light weight HVAC unit, with variable-speed components that are dynamically managed for efficiency, reliability and safety, and a flexible, self-insulating duct for connecting the HVAC unit to the temporary shelter.

摘要: A portable, insulated shelter consists of flexible inner and outer layers, lightweight fabric panels located therebetween, and connected to each other, a suitable support frame, and a system, such as a HVAC unit and a suitable connector, for actively controlling the interior environment of the shelter. The shelter may be used to protect and provide livable conditions in harsh, remote locations. Methods of selectively installing and removing the fabric panels are also provided, along with methods of setting up and disassembling the shelter.
