Definitions

  • This invention relates to a retractable shed, particularly for garaging motor vehicles.
  • Sheds used generally for protecting objects and goods in general, and in particular for garaging motor vehicles are well known. They are generally in the form of - actual buildings or portions of buildings, ie comprising perimetral walls and a roof. In some cases they lean against other buildings, and have at least one wall in common with these. In other cases they are erected on open ground and their four walls are thus separate from surrounding buildings. In all cases they represent constructions of masonry, wood, metal, plastics material or composite materials, in the sense that they comprise a load-bearing structure and a plurality or panels or other curtainwall systems.
  • the object of the invention is to obviate these drawbacks, and in particular to provide a shed, particularly for garaging motor vehicles, which in contrast to automobile cover sheets represents a proper shed but at the same time obviates all the aforesaid drawbacks connected with conventional fixed sheds.
  • a retractable shed particularly for garaging motor vehicles, characterised by comprising a rigid essentially arch-shaped structure which can translate horizontally from a rest position in which it substantially adheres to a fixed support structure, to a working position in which it is separated from said fixed structure by a distance substantially corresponding to the desired length of the space to be covered, a retractable cover interposed between said fixed structure and said mobile structure, and means for moving said mobile structure away from and towards said fixed structure.
  • the fixed support structure can constitute a vertical wall of a closable container, in which the mobile structure, the retractable cover and the means for moving said mobile structure are housed when in the rest state.
  • the shed according to the invention can comprise suspension means for the cover sheet which are interposed between the mobile structure and the fixed structure.
  • said suspension means can be constituted by cables fixed to the arch-shaped structure and wound on pulleys rigid with the fixed structure, and unwindable as the mobile structure withdraws therefrom.
  • articulated pantograph assemblies operable by mechanical screw systems or by hydraulic and/or pneumatic systems, can be interposed between the fixed structure and the mobile structure.
  • the container 1 is provided on its rear wall 2 or base 2' with conventional systems for fixing to a vertical masonry structure 3 or to a horizontal base 4 respectively.
  • the shed according to the invention can freely rest on the ground, and in this case the container 1 should be provided with suitable ballast to ensure its stability.
  • a rigid structure 5 essentially of arch shape and provided with front closure means 6 can be housed in the container 1.
  • Said closure means 6 can be of roll shutter, sheet, door or other type.
  • the structure 5 is provided lowerly with wheels 7 which can slide on the ground or on a platform, or on guide rails. It is connected to the interior of the container 1 by two pantograph assemblies each constituted by a plurality of articulated arms 8. More particularly, each assembly 8 is fitted between an upright of the structure 5 and an operating device 9 housed in the container 1.
  • the operating device 9 is preferably constituted by a shaft 10 divided into two oppositely threaded portions, each engaged with a threaded bush 11,11' pivoted to one of the two inner end arms of the pantograph assembly 8.
  • On the centre of the shaft 10 there is keyed a helical gear wheel 12 which is constantly engaged with a worm 13 keyed to a shaft 14 which is common to the two pantograph assemblies 8.
  • An electric motor (not shown on the drawings for simplicity) rotates said shaft 14 in one and the other direction as will be apparent hereinafter, under the control of switches 15 provided on the outside of a side wall of the container 1.
  • a transmission system comprising sheaves 18 maintains the cables 17 horizontally taut over the ground.
  • an impermeable cover sheet 19 which can fold in the manner of a bellows and is constructed for example of rigid or semirigid plastic-coated material, are fixed to the container 1 and arch-shaped structure 5.
  • the sheet is supported by the cables 17.
  • the operation of the retractable shed according to the invention is as follows. When not in use, its container 1 is closed and either fixed to a vertical masonry structure 3 or simply positioned on a base on the free ground. When in this state, the overall size of the container 1 is extremely small, and the surrounding space can be freely used for any requirement.
  • the front closure means 6 When it is to be used, for example for covering an automobile 20, this latter is firstly positioned facing the front closure means 6.
  • the operator after descending from the automobile, then operates the controls 15, which causes the following series of operations to take place, preferably in automated sequence: the front closure means 6 are firstly raised, then the drive motor for the shaft 14 is started.
  • This latter by virtue of the engagement between the worm 13 and helical gear 12, causes the two threaded shafts 10 to rotate in such a direction as to cause the threaded bushes 11, 11', pivoted to the two inner end arms of each pantograph assembly 8, to approach each other.
  • This mutual approach has the effect of elongating the two assemblies 8, with the consequent emergence of the rigid arch-shaped structure 5 from the container 1.
  • the arch-shaped structure 5 advances, it also unwinds the steel cables 17, which by virtue of correct dimensioning of the various members always remain under tension and thus support said sheet 19 in a perfectly horizontal manner.
  • the front closure means 6 are firstly raised and the drive motor for the shaft 14 is operated. This latter, on rotating, on the one hand rotates the shafts 10 which by way of the two pantograph assemblies 8 withdraw the arch-shaped structure 5, and on the other hand rewinds the cables 7 supporting the cover sheet 19 synchronously with the movement of said arch-shaped structure 5.
  • the two pantograph assemblies are kept in an elongated state elastically (for example by means of springs), and the cables 7 besides supporting the cover sheet 19 also retain the arch-shaped structure against the reaction of said elastic means.
  • the ched i q formed by simply slackening the cables 17, which the elongate spontaneously by the effect of the elastic means, and is re-closed by the pull exerted by the cables 17 on the structure 5, against the reaction of said elastic means.
  • the cover sheet is formed as substantially rigid arch-shaped segments which telescopically withdraw one into the other and are provided lowerly with wheels for their support and movement on the ground.
  • the arch-shaped structure 5 is not connected to pantograph assemblies 8 for its movement, but instead is provided with a motor for autonomous movement.
  • the pulleys 16 can be mounted in a fixed support, with spiral springs interposed between them in order to elastically rewind the cables 17 which support the cover sheet 19.
  • the retractable shed according to the invention is provided for covering a boat 21.
  • the container 1' is suspended from the jetty 25 and is provided with a door 23 for access to its interior.
  • the arch-shaped structure 5' is mounted on floats 24 and is proyided with a pantograph movement system of the type shown in Figure 4.
  • An intermediate structure 25 also connected to the pantograph systems 8 and vided with floats is preferably provided in order to obviate the inevitable drawbacks which the yieldability and instability of the supporting arrangement could give rise to.
  • the uprights of the arch-shaped structure 5' and of any intermediate structures are of telescopic type, in order to allow the shed to be adapted to the water level.
