Abstract:
Transportable living quarters having a pair of longitudinally extending main frame members supporting structure defining a main living area and a slide out room assembly slidable relative to said structure between a retracted position retracted within the main living area and an extended position extended from the main living area to provide an auxiliary living area, said structure including a main floor supported by said frame, said slide out room including a slide out room floor movable from a raised position sliding over said main floor as said slide out room slides between the extended and retracted positions to a lowered position substantially flush with the main floor as the slide out room moves into the extended position and movable from the lowered to the raised position as the slide out room is moved from the extended position, a cantilevered beam assembly secured to an underside of the living quarters, comprised of first and second cooperating beams, said second cooperating beam member being connected at an outer end to the slide out room assembly and being extendable relative to said first cooperating member, said second cooperating beam member being pivotal relative to said first beam member, and said second cooperating beam member being deflectable downwardly during extension, wherebysaid first and second cooperating beams drop the slide out room vertically as the slide out room moves from the retracted position to the extended position a distance sufficient to drop the slide out room floor from the raised to the lowered position.
