ABSTRACT
The invention concerns a vertical storage facility 1 in particular for motor vehicles which preferably is sunk in an excavation and which comprises a vertical frame-work constituted by two mutually connected vertical support columns. A driven endless and revolving chain 5 passes through two vertical guides in each support column and consists of individual chain links 5a, 5b connected to one another by a support-and-guide pin 4 resting in said guides. The particular chain 5 is reversible both at the lower open end and at the upper open of the said guides. Each chain link 5b comprises a support arm 6 extending outward from the said framework, the two chains 5 each comprising one support arm 6 at the same elevation and in the free ends of said arms rests in each case one support bolt 9 for a horizontal storage platform 2. Each storage platform 2 comprises two support bolts 9 which are both located in the longitudinal center axis of this storage platform 2 and each of which is rotatably supported in the free end of a support arm 6 of one of the two chains 5, at least one control lever 10 being affixed to each storage platform 2 and one guide roller 13 being affixed at least to one corner of said platform. The storage facility 1 is free of functional storage components in the area driven and walked on by the user and thereby it especially free of danger and more user-friendly.

A VERTICAL STORAGE FACILITY, IN PARTICULAR FOR MOTOR VEHICLES

The invention concerns a vertical storage facility, in particular for motor vehicles, as defined by the preamble of claim 1.
5A storage facility is known from the German Offenlegungsschrift 2,063,232.
Further, reference is made to German Offenlegungsschriften 1,903,~17: 2,051,280 and 2,161,868, which describe further details of the facility known from the German Offenlegungsschrift 2,063,232, or which disclose alterna~ive embodiment modes of the general design of such a facility.
10As disclosed in the German Offenlegungsschrift 2,063,232 a known vertical storage facility compris0s a vertical framework formed by two vertical support columns joined to each other. A driven and endiess chain consisting of individual links connected to one another by hinge pins revolves in two vertical guides in each column. The particular chain can be reversed ~oth at the lower and upper open ends. Every second chain link is 15fitted with a support arm extending outwardly away from the frame. The two chains are arranged in such a way and are moved synchronously in such manner that one support arm is present at the same height of each chain strand. At ~heir free ends, two such arms pendulously support cabins formed by hori70ntal storage piatforms with iongitudinal bracings at their ends.
20In this prior art, the chains not only are driven by a drive and support system, but they also are supported in the guides. Details of this drive and support system are described in the German Offenlegungsschrift 1,9~3,917.
Now such a known storage facility, and moreover also similar known vehicle garaging facilities ~for instance German Auslegeschrift 2,060,295 and German 25Qffenlegungsschrift 2,239,845) are arranged in such a way that the entire facility, and therewith all cabins are above ground level. In part this also Follows from the design because the vehicles can enter only the lowermost cabin which then is at the center.

Because storage facilities of this kind are built illustra~ively with more than twenty cabins, the former rise to 25 to 30 rn, which is the height of an eight or ten-floor house. Such heights are not permitted everywhere in the cities, and therefore such storage facilities to-date have been uncompetitive against conventional garages.
3as;cally the use of cabins has been found practical for storage facilities located substantially above the entry level.
Now the German Offenlegungsschrift 3,437,720 has proposed to place the major part of this storage facility below the entry level, in other words, substantially below ground level. As a rule this storage facility is about two cabin heights above ground level because the structure is such that a cabin in the uppermost position cannot be entered.
In this area the technical details also are visibie to the user of the storage facility. Such a cabin can be accessed forward and ultimately be exited forward again, at the other side of cabin, at the very same height.
The German Offenlegungsschrift 2,221,484 discloses a storage facility which is also mostly below ground level. However as regards this storage facility, the vehicles, once having entered forward, must back out later. This rneans that while one vehicle is exiting, no other entry vehicle may be present in the entry and exit zone, and moreover the storage facility requires adequate turning space.
Now the German Offenlegungsschrift 2,239,845 discloses a storage facility of which the storage platform comprises one support bolt and one guide pin located vertically above each other at diagonally opposite corners. The guide pin is mounted to the free end of the shorter leg and the support bolt is mounted to ~he leg intersection of an L-shaped flange of which the longer leg is affixed to the end face of the storage platform.
The length of this longer leg corresponds to the width of ~he platform end face. Such a flange is affixed to each longitudinal end of the platform.
One pair of support bolt and guido pin is always moved vertically sliding up on one rail and vertically down on another rail which is horizontally spaced apart. These rails are joined together at their upper and lower ends each time by two arcuate rails, the support bolt being guided in the upper arcuate rail and the guide pin in the one below. The bolt and pin are removed from or enter a particular vertical rail by means of a switch.
Moreover two vertical guide rails for a conveyor chain are mounted on each side of the storage platform and directly next to the support-bolt rails, the upper and lower reversal for said conveyor chain each time taking place by rneans of a wheel, the chain each time ..: , . : ~, j .

2~748~2 being guided farther away from the support bolt or guide pin than in the vertical guidance zone.
A special chain device engages the support bolt of the storage platform in the vertical zone, and another sp0cial device is prasent at the upper and lower reversing zones to drive the storage platform there. The storage platform bearing the vehicle or the like therefore is not always linked to the bearing and conveying chain.
In this storage design, a vehicle may only enter on, or exit from, a storage platform being guided within the vertical portion of the guide rails, i.e., it cannot do so either in the uppermost position nor in the lowermost one. A vehicle is required to enter a storage platform located on one side in a forward manner, but this storage platform must be on the other side so that a vehicle can exit again in forward mannsr. The driver is required, both when getting out of the vehicle after entering and when entering the vehicle before exiting, to walk between his vehicle and ~he adjoining one and between his vehicle and the tightly adjoining structure of the storage platform. He may easily come into contact with the mechanically moving parts of the system, with danger of being injured and soiled. The danger increases when there are passengers.
In the light of the disclosure of this document, it must be assumed that this storage facility essentially is erected above ground level even though part of it, namely the portion corresponding to one-and-a-half the vertical distance between two platforms, must be mounted below the entry level.
The German Offenlegungsschrift 3,801,~1 1 discloses a storage facility that is a further development on that of the German Offenlegungsschrift 3,~37,720. The storage platforms comprise two support bolts diagonally offset from the longitudinal center axis of the storage platform. The chains and the guide means are also offset correspondingly. The chains are reversed by means of raversing wheels. Obliquelydownward control levers absorb the torque and prevent the storage platforms from tipping over.
However the complex design shown and described ther0in has been found unsatisfactory. Furthermore, the costs of such a storage facility are high.
Accordingly it is the object of the present invention to so further develop a storage facilities sunk into an excavation that the areas driven in and out and walked over by the users shall be clear and hence especially free of danger and easier to use, that is, they shall be user-friendly. Moreover the storage facility also shall be simpler in design, .

2~ ~822 more economical ~o manufacture, and functionally more reliable than that described in the German Offenlegungsschrift 3,801,211.
To solve this problem, a storage platform similar to the one known from the German Offenlegungsschrift 2,239,845 is used, that is, in deviation from the storage facility of the species, no more suspended cabins are used. Furthermore the chain guidance known from the German Offenlegungsschriften 2,063,231; 1,9~3,917; 2,051,280;
2,161,868 and 3,437,720 is used, not that which meantime has become known from the German Offenlegungsschrift 3,801,211.
In the storage facility of the invention, each storage platform comprises two support bolts each mounted at the longitudinal center axis of said platform and each rotatably resting in the free end of a support arm of one of the two chains, further at least one control lever is present at each storage platform which further comprises a guide roller in at least one of its corners.
Therefore these storage platforms are linked by support arms and are always connected to the chains of the storage facility. These support arms are already known per se from the German Offenlegungsschrift 2,063,232. However in that document they support the suspended cabins. ~gain the storage facility of the German Offenlegungsschrift 3,801,211 already provides support arms, but in that document the support bolts of the storage platforms are mounted diagonally and at least in theory the storage platforms are already held horizontally in the support arms as a result.Now the storage platforms can be moved in such a way by the support arms in the storage facility that an uppermost storage platform shall form the uppermost part of this facility. In other words, the storage facility ends at ~he top with the surface of the uppermost storage platform. No functional parts protrude beyond that surface. If now the excavation is closed by pivotable planking in addition to this storage platform, then the storage-facility user shall only see before him a plane surface on which he may leave his vehicle in a particular place (see German Offenlegungsschrift 3,801,211 from the same applicant~ .
In a prererred embodiment mode, one guide roller preferably shall be mounted at all four corners of the storage platforrn. Even though in principle one guide roiler per storage platform would suffice, a guide roller is provided at least at each longitudinal end of said platform and bettar yet at every one of its corners.
Preferably the axes of the guid0 rollers shall be parallel to the longitudinal axis of the storage platform.

One pair of these guide rollers passes through guide rails both in the upper and in the lower chain-reversal zone, as a result of which the storage platform can be kept horizontal in that region too.
In a preferred embodiment mode, these guide means assume the shapes of 5at least quarter-circles at their end zones and preferably a horizontal zone is present in-between across which the guide-means are open at least on the side facing the chains.
The particular control lever is irrotational relative to the storage platform and points downward, and preferably its free end is mounted centrally below the storage platform.
10The said control lever may be affixed directiy to the storage platform or be irrotationally mounted to the support bolt of the storage platform.
To allow absorbing the torque at least in the ~ertical zone of the storage facility, illustratively the free downward end of the control lever comprises a first device which can be made to engage a matching second device on the storage platform below.
15The first device mounted on the free end of the control lever may be a fork and the matching second device at the storage platform below may be a bolt, preferably the storage-platform support bolt.
Preferably at least one guide roller is mounted to the lower end of the control lever.
20Illustratively the first device mounted at the free end of the control lever may be a guide roller and the matching second device on the storage platform below may be a V-groove preferably present in the storage platform. In the vertical zone of the storage facility, this guide roller is held in pivot-proof manner in the V-groove and the individual storage platforms brace one another. In the reversal zone of the chains, the guide rollers 25are held in place at first adclitionally and following "detachment" of the reversed storage platform only by the guide means.
One of the control-lever rollers preferably can b0 displaced inside preferably continuous guide rails comprising two vertical, mutually parallel segments connected together at the top and at the bottom by an approximately semi-circular segment.30Moreover two rollers may be mounted to the free end of the control lever, one of the control-lever rollers passing inside guide rails comprising, at least in the upper and the lower zones of the storage facility, two vertical, mutually parallel segments connected at the bottom and at the top by an approximately semi-circlllar segment.

These two rollers may be present in addition to the previously described roller which comes to rest in the V-groov~, as a result of which roller guide means aresuperfluous in the actual vertical zone.
The guide means holding the guide rollers are U-channels.
Further details and advantages of the invention are stated in the sub-claims and are elucidated in an illustrative embodiment of the invention shown in the drawing.
Fig. 1 shows the essential parts of the upper zone of a storage facility sunk in an excavation and seen in the direction of entry and exit, Fig. ~ shows several components of the storage facility of Fig. 1 transversely to the direction of entry and exit, Fig. 3 is a reduced-scale elevation corresponding to Fig. 1 with stored vehicles, and Fig. 4 is a reduced-scale eleva~ion corresponding to Fig. 2 with stored vehicles.
A storage facility 1 is present in an (omitted) excavation at such a depth that the surface of an uppermost storage platform 2 of the facility 1 is flush with the ground level, that is, all the storage facility 1 is located inside this excavation. A superstructure not shown herein may be present above the storage facility 1 and the excavation. That might be a building into which the storage facility 1 has been integrated, however it also may be a simple superstructure providing merely access with closure to a vehicle into the storage facility 1.
The storage facility 1 comprises t.wo (omitted) support columns forming a framework and to which are affixed the components described below in further detail.
These two support columns may rest on the bottom of the excavation and may be further braced at the top against the sides of the excavation. However the two support columns also may be affixed in the upper region of the excavation and where called for may be suspended relative to the bottom of the excavation.
These two support columns are apart in such a way that there is space between them for storage platforms 2 in the longitudinal direction and for the other mechanical components. These two support columns stand in a vertical center plane 3 of the storage facility 1. Vehicles enter and exit from this center plane 3.
Each of these support columns comprises two vertical guides for support bolts and guide pins 4 for a chain 5 associated with each support column. These vertical , . . , . :

guides for the chain 5 each terminate at the upper and lower reversal 20nes of the chain 5.
The chain 5 consists of individual links sa and sb joined by suppor-t-and-guide pins 4. The links 5a and 5b are of equal length and are substantially identical.
However a support arm 6 is connected to every second chain link 5b and in this case consists of two legs 6a and 6b of equal length and in this embodiment mode with moun~ing flanges at the ends of the link 5b, the other ends of said legs jointly bearing a muff 7 of which the axis is parallel to that of the support-and-guide pins 4 of the chain 5. As a result, this muff is mounted in the bisectrix of the two support-and-guide pins 4 of the chain link 5b. In each position of the associated chain link 5b, the muff 7 is located on the side of the chain 5 which is away from the center plane 3.
The drawing shows that for each storage platform 2, which in this case receives a vehicle 8 -- two chain links 5a and 5b are provided, so that the length of the individual links 5a and 5b correspond to half the distance between two storage platforms 2 in which one is directly above the other.
The two chains 5 are held in place and are synchronously guided in such manner that one support arm 6 of a chain 5 together with one support arm 6 of the other chain 5 shall be located in a horizontal line.
A change in length of the chains 5 may take place for instance as the temperature changes, also depending on the loaded state of the storage facility ~ and on account of slight elongation of the chain 5 when in use. The storage facility 1 being loaded and unloaded at the top, care must only be taken that the position of the uppermost storage platform 2 remain unchanged. This can be achisved by placin~ th0 drive for and hence the support of the chain in the upper region of the storage facility.
The storage platforms 2 comprise support bolts 9 at their longitudinal ends and the axes of said bolts 9 are in the longitudinal center axis of the storage platform 2.
Each support bolt 3 rests in rotatable manner in tha muff 7 of one of the support arms 6 of the chain links 5b. The support arms 6 always pointing outward, the support bolts 9 of the storage platform 2 also revoive outside the path of the chains 5.
Consequently each storage platform 2 will pass through an uppermost position wherein it forms the uppermost part of the storage facility 1, as clearly shown by the Figures. The surface of this storage platforrn 2 serving to support the vehicles 8 or the like therefore projects much over the other functional components of the storage facility.

As shown by the drawing, the surface of the uppermost storage platform 2 is freeiy accessible from all sides. The user sees before him a space with a subs~antially plane floor and with a given area on which he is supposed to leave his vehicle.
Because of the arrangement of the support bolts 9 of the storage platform 2 and latter's support means, the storage platforms 2 are kept in unstable equilibrium. At the latest this equilibrium shall have vanished after a vehicle has been deposited on the storage platform 2.
In this embodiment mode a control lever 10 is irrotationally affixed in the region of every support bolt 9 of a storage platform 2 to maintain the storage platform 2 horizontal in all events. In this embodiment the control lever 10 subtends an angle of 90 with the horizontal and hence with the surface of the storage platform 2, and, as seen in the vertical, it extends parallel to the support arm 6.
As shown by Fig. 2, the control lever 10 is affixed directly to the storage platforrn 2. However the control lever 10 also can be held irrotationally on the support bolt 9 by means of a wedge. At least one roller 11 of which the a~(is of rotation is parallel to the axes of the support-and-guide pins 4 of the chain ~ is rotatably mounted on the free end of said control lever.
When only one roller 1 1 is mounted on the control lever 10, then said roller shall be guided in a closed, stable guide 12. This guide 12 also is affixed to the support columns which furthermore bear the guide means for the chain 5. ~ach of these two guides 12 comprises two vertical segments that are joined both at the top and at the bottom by an approximately semi-circular segment. On account of geometry, those segments are not precisely semi-circular because otherwise the s~orage platforms 2 would not be guided in sxactly horizontal manner in the upper and lower reversing zones.
However the curvature of these guides 12 is easily determined.
In this embodiment mode the length of the control levers 10 is selected in such a way that they extend almost as far as the storage platform 2 below, so that the lever arm is as long as possible. By means of these control levers 10 with their rollers 1 1 mounted to their free ends and guided in guides 12, the torque of the storage platform 2, which is practically rotatable about the support bolts 9, will be absorbed and the storage platforms 2 shall reliably be horizontal for any Df ~heir locations. There~ore the geometry of the guides 12 must be selected in such manner that the storage platforms 2 shall always be kept horizontally.

If now the storage platforms 2 are being guided in the upper and lower reversal zones, then ~he control levers 10 no longer can absorb the torque because the rollers 11 are given too much play at the end point of the guides 12.
Hence further rollers 13 are mounted on the corners of the storage platforms 2, in this embodiment there being four corners, said rollers 13 being inser~ed into additional guides 14 in the upper and lower reversal zones and assuming the horizontal alignment of the storage platforms 2. These guides 14 consist of two approximately quarter-circle parts 1 4a and ~ 4b which in this embodiment mode are joined by a horizontal segment 1 4c. This horizontal segment 1 4c is open at its sid0 facing the chains 5 and therefore the roller may escape inward but not outward. By the ~ime the roller 13 already has left the closed guide 14a, the other roller 13 is already being guided in the other closed segment of the guide 14b.
Reference is made to the German Offenlegungsschrift 3,437,720 and especiallytothe German Offenlegungsschrift 3,~01,211 regarding the excavation itself and how to mount this storage facility 1.
These references apply in particular to covering the excavation near the uppermost storage platform 2.
Even though the power units for the storage facility 1 may be mounted as they are in some of the state of the art at its lower region, preferably however such (omitted) power units for the two chains 5 shall be mounted approximately level with the upper reversal means for the chains 5. In particular maintenance is made easier, since thereby the maintenance personnel no longer need descend almost ~o the bot~om of the excavation. The chain 5 and the storage platforms 2 can be checked and serviced at the entry and exit area by a stepwise motion imparted ~o the chain 5 and hence to the storage platforms 2.
To move both chains 5 synchronously, either only one motor is used which drives ~he two chains 5 by shafts and chain drives, or eise a motor is associated with each chain 5 and both motors are synchronized by means of shafts and chain drives. A
`'synchronizing" shaft may be located in the center plane 3 between the guides.
