Definitions

  • the present invention relates to delivery vestibules for automobile conveyor garages and the like, as of the type, for example, disclosed in my earlier U.S. Letters Patent Nos. 3,197,045, 3,477,666 and 4,493,414; being, however, more generally applicable to storage and pre­sentation or retrieval systems and more particularly those employing conveyors.
  • An object of the present invention accordingly is to provide a new and improved method of and vestibule system for safe, economic and space-efficient delivery and retrieval (or presentation) of automobiles or other objects automatically stored by conveyor apparatus and the like.
  • a further object is to provide a novel delivery, storage and retrieval system of more general utility, as well.
  • the invention embraces a method of delivering and retrieving loads to and from platforms carried along a longitudinally extending path by a conveyor moving the platforms to and from the floor area of a vestibule volume, that comprises, looping the con­veyor transversely out of the longitudinal path and upwardly to the floor area and then transversely down­wardly back along said longitudinal path; moving the con­veyor along the loop to carry successive platforms up into alinement with the floor area and then down again and along said path; stopping a preselected platform when carried into alinement with said floor area; and there­after, following any of retrieval, inspection or insertion of a load at the platform, removing the platform from said floor area by carrying the same transversely down the loop and longitudinally along said path.
  • FIG. 1A-1C are sche­matic diagrams showing the application of the delivery vestibule system and method of the invention to retrieval of an automobile from conveyor storage;
  • a vestibule delivery volume is shown schematically at V, with access (and egress) at ground level G, and the conveyor storage and delivery structure G below ground.
  • the conveyor structure may assume the form of transversely spaced parallel closed-­loop pairs of chain roller-link conveyors C traveling in corresponding parallel closed-loop tracks one below each of the opposite access sides of the vestibule V, and carrying the successive platforms transversely supported therebetween, as described in said Letters Patent.
  • the conveyor system C carries such successive plat­forms P, shown side or edge-on in Figs. 1A-1C, along longitudinally extending paths past and under the vesti­bule V.
  • the floor area F of the vestibule is open.
  • the successive platforms P are conventionally carried from the left-hand longitudinal section and split into paths ex­tending transversely upwardly along a pair of partially overlapping loops C ⁇ and C ⁇ into the floor area F, Fig. 1B, and then transversely downwardly and merging back into the longitudinal path at the right-hand side, Fig. 1C.
  • a preselected stored automobile A has been called for delivery at the vestibule V, Fig. 1B, by the attendant, as upon the request of the car owner.
  • the platform P (carrying the desired car A) reached and at least partially fills the vestibule floor area F, the platform being of less area generally then the open floor area, the same is stopped for enabling access to the ves­tibule, as by conventional computer command or attendant control of the drive, schematically shown at D.
  • Figs. 2A-2C The same sequence performed for parking and stor­ing a car on an unoccupied platform is shown in Figs. 2A-2C; it being understood that the design of the inven­tion, while shown applied to conveyor movement from left to right in the upper section of the overall longitudinal conveyor loop C, is also adapted for reverse-direction movement as where the preselected platform can be delivered to the vestibule V in a shorter time by such reversal of direction of conveyor travel.
  • FIGs. 4A-4D A complete system is shown in side elevation in Figs. 4A-4D.
  • a car A has been driven into the vestibule V (Fig. 4A) with the conveyor C at rest and a platform P stopped in the vestibule at floor level and with the walkways W lowered to floor level (the gate, not shown, being open). The driver then leaves the vestibule.
  • Fig. 4B the process of receiving the car for storage is commenced with the conveyor C still at rest, but about to start, and the walkways W raised and the gate, not shown, lowered.
  • the conveyor C is traveling in Fig. 4C with the walkways W still raised and the gate still closed; while in Fig. 4D, the car is in underground storage, a new platform is stopped at floor level in the vestibule, and the walkways are again lowered and the gate raised. This would be the condition shown in Fig. 5 for receiving cars-to-be-stored.
  • FIG. 3 a practical embodiment is shown in which the upper portions of the partially over­lapping successive transverse conveyor loops C ⁇ and C ⁇ are illustrated as roller-link chains (as in said Letters Patent) traveling within corresponding C-shaped tracks T ⁇ and T ⁇ , supporting the platform P in the floor area F of the vestibule V.
  • the left-hand portion of gate G ⁇ is shown down and the left-hand walkways in stored upper position, and the right-hand portion of gate G ⁇ is shown dotted and raised coincident with the lowered right-hand walkway W, whereas, of course, in practice, the left and right-hand gate portions and walkways will operate in unison.
  • suitable angles of rise (and descent) for the conveyor loops C ⁇ -T ⁇ and C ⁇ -T ⁇ have been found to be about 54° to the horizontal, with the open floor area horizontal dimension about 20 feet and the horizontal distance between the uppermost portions of the loops C ⁇ and C ⁇ about 6 feet when using seven foot-two inch wide platform and three foot wide sidewalks.
  • Other dimensions for modified vestibule sizes, other vestibule geometries particularly adapted for other applications, including an open delivery wall other than the floor, and further modifications will occur to those skilled in this art, such being considered to fall within the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
