A mobile accommodation unit in container form for use as mobile hospital or mobile control or command center or the like has a box-shaped main box element and at least one secondary box element. In a transport state, the secondary box element is telescoped into the main box element. For setting up an accommodation unit of increased floor area, the secondary box element can be pulled out of a lateral opening of the main box element. In order to provide a continuous floor surface, after the secondary box element has been pulled out, the main box element has a movable floor element, which can be lifted relative to a basic floor element so as to equalize the floor levels of the main box element and the secondary box element.

A mobile accommodation unit as claimed in claim 1, wherein sealing arrangements are provided between said main and secondary box elements. 3. A mobile accommodation unit as claimed in claim 2, wherein said at least one secondary box element comprises first and second secondary box elements, first sealing arrangements are provided between said first secondary box element and said main box element at a first opening, said first sealing arrangements being adapted for sealing said first secondary box element relative to said main box element in said expanded state; second sealing arrangements are provided between said second secondary box element and said main box element at a second opening, said second sealing arrangements being adapted to seal said second secondary box element relative to said main box element in said expanded state. 4. A container-type mobile accommodation unit as claimed in claim 1, wherein said secondary box element is being guided for movement out of said main box element through the lateral opening. 5. A container-type mobile accommodation unit adapted for conversion from a retracted transportation state to an expanded state and visa versa, said unit comprising:a main box element formed with at least a ceiling, a basic floor and a movable floor movable relative to said basic floor, arrangement for lifting and lowering of said movable floor relative to said basic floor, first and second lateral openings provided on opposite sides of said main box element;a first secondary box element having a basic floor and a movable floor movable relative to said basic floor, arrangement for lifting and lowering said movable floor relative to said basic floor of the first secondary box element; anda second secondary box element having at least a basic floor;whereby in said transportation state the second secondary box element being contained within said first secondary box element, to achieve said expanded state the second secondary box element being guided for movement out of the first secondary box element; in said expanded state a level of the movable floor of the main box element, a level of the movable floor of the first secondary box element and a level of the basic floor element of the second secondary box element are substantially identical, while a level of said basic floor of the main box element and a level of said basic floor of the first secondary box element remain stable, so that in said expanded state said first and second secondary box elements and said main box element form an enlarged room with an increased continuous floor area. 6. A mobile accommodation unit as claimed in claim 5, wherein said basic floor of said second secondary box element and said movable floor of said first secondary box element are formed with sealing ledges adapted for cooperation with adjacent complementary sealing ledges provided at said movable floor of the first secon dary box element, so that in said expanded state said movable floor elements being lifted so that floor levels of said main box element, said first and second secondary box elements are substantially similar. 7. A container-type mobile accommodation unit as claimed in claim 5, wherein said second secondary box element is being guided for movement out of said first secondary box element through the respective lateral opening of said main box element. 8. A container-type mobile accommodation unit adapted for conversion from a retracted transportation state to an expanded state and visa versa, said unit comprising:a main box element formed with at least a basic floor, a ceiling, first and second lateral openings provided on opposite sides thereof, a movable floor and arrangement for lifting and lowering said movable floor relative to the basic floor of the main box element between retracted, intermediate and extended positions, while keeping said respective basic floor stable;a first secondary box element being independent from the main box element and formed with at least a basic floor and means for coupling and de-coupling of said basic floor to and from said first secondary box element;a second secondary box element formed with at least a respective floor and a ceiling; andin said retracted transportation state said movable floor of the main box element is in said retracted position and said basic floor of the first secondary box element being de-coupled from said first secondary box element, said basic floor of the first secondary box element is supported by the movable floor of the main box element below a level of the floor of the second secondary box element, to achieve said expanded state said intermediate position of said movable floor of the main box element being selected in such a manner that the basic floor of the first secondary box element supported by the movable floor of the main box element contacts said first secondary box element after said second secondary box element is moved from the retracted transportation state into the expanded state, so as to facilitate coupling of the respective basic floor to said first secondary box element by said coupling means; andwherein said second secondary box element in said retracted transportation state being positioned within the first secondary box element, to achieve the expanded state said second secondary box element is being guided for a movement out of said first secondary box element and said main box element, so that in said expanded state said first and second secondary box elements and said main box element form an enlarged room with an increased continuous floor area. 9. A container-type mobile accommodation unit as claimed in claim 8, wherein said extended position of said movable floor of the main box element being selected in such a manner that upon said first secondary box element with the coupled respective basic floor being moved into the expanded state, a level of said movable floor of the main box element being positioned at a level of said floor of the second secondary box element and at a level of said basic floor of the first secondary box element so as to form a continuous floor between the main, the first secondary and second secondary box elements. 10. A container-type mobile accommodation unit as claimed in claim 9, therein said second secondary box element is being guided for movement out of said first secondary box element through the respective lateral opening of said main box element. 11. A mobile accommodation unit as claimed in claim 9, wherein said first secondary box element has a pair of opposite end walls formed with lower edges,a plurality of downwardly extending bushings provided at said lower edges, locking bolts having tapering tips extending through said bushings so as to be movably guided therein, said bushings having lateral openings adapted to retain locking balls, said basic floor of the first secondary box element carrying ann ular locking members aligned with said bushings, said annular locking members defining an inner wall are formed with recesses; andcam means provided at said end walls along said lower edges of said end walls for moving said locking bolts in response to actuating movement of said cam means, said locking bolts, upon engagement of said bushings with said annular locking members acting to push said locking balls partly out of said openings and into said recesses of said annular locking members, whereby said basic floor element of the first secondary box element upon engaging said lower edges is coupled with said first secondary box element. 12. A mobile accommodation unit as claimed in claim 11, and further comprising a plurality of rollers provided between said relatively movable floor elements.
