The present invention relates to a horizontally extensible construction comprising a series of rigid prefabricated elements capable of being moved close together to render the construction more compact, for example for transport, or moved apart into the position for use to create space units between them suitable for use as dwelling units or the like, the said elements having connecting members connected to the elements by hinges which enable the construction to be placed into the position for use by the application of a force to an end element, this force being then transmitted from one element to the next by the hinges, and the construction being then capable of being moved back into the compact position by the application of a force to the element at the end in the direction which brings the elements together. The extensible construction comprising a series of rigid frames capable of being selectively moved closer together to render the structure more compact or spaced apart to create space units between them, these frames being connected together by panels which are articulated thereto and are designed to form a floor, a ceiling and possible side walls for these space units when the construction is extended, the said panels being accommodated within the space bounded by two successive frames when the frames are brought close together so that the construction is in its compact space.

Horizontally extensible construction comprising: (a) a series of rectangular rigid frames consisting of two uprights connected together by a lower crossbeam and an upper crossbeam, said frames being connected to each other so that, when a force is applied on an end frame, the frames can be selectively moved close together for rendering the construction more compact or moved apart to create space units between them, and (b) members suitable for making respectively a floor and a ceiling, said members being connected to two adjacent frames, in which each member consists of at least one rigid panel which is brought into a substantially vertical position within a space bounded by two successive frames when said two successive frame members are moved close together for rendering the construction compact, said members being connected to the two adjacent frames, so that they form a substantially horizontal floor and a ceiling between said two adjacent frames when said two successive frame members are moved apart.
