Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a self-erecting shelter for motor vehicles in general.
  • prefabricated garages for motor vehicles have long been commercially available; in a typical embodiment, they are in practice defined by means of walls made of metal panels which can be assembled together so as to form the garage.
  • These types of shelters have the advantage that they are relatively simple to manufacture, but have the disadvantage of being considered as fixed installations, so that it is necessary to apply for the related permits to the competent authorities in order to install them where required.
  • a portable garage as defined in the preamble of claim 1, describing a collapsible vehicle shelter adapted to be supported from a surface over which vehicles may move and including a base, a plurality of cover supporting members movably supported from said base for movement relative thereto between collapsed positions and extended cover supported positions, including a treadle means over which the wheel of the associated vehicle may be moved to automatically erect the vehicle shelter over the vehicle.
  • Another problem which is typical of all the above mentioned solutions is constituted by the fact that they imply relatively complicated and heavy structures which require relatively long times for their installation and consequently cannot be easily transferred from one place to another.
  • the aim of the present invention is indeed to eliminate the problems described above by providing a self-erecting shelter for motor vehicles in general which can be used without requiring fixed installation on the ground but by simply resting it thereon.
  • a particular object of the invention is to provide a shelter which is self-erecting, i.e. assumes its shape when it is used, i.e. when the vehicle is inserted, and which furthermore, when the vehicle is not present, assumes in practice a collapsed configuration, i.e. does not have upright surfaces which can be subjected to the impact of wind.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a shelter which is extremely compact and light and consequently can be transported to the various points of use without any problem and is furthermore extremely practical and safe.
  • Not least object of the present invention is to provide a shelter which can be easily obtained starting from commonly commercially available elements and materials and is furthermore competitive from a merely economical point of view.
  • the self-erecting shelter for motor vehicles in general which is generally designated by the reference numeral 1, comprises a base frame 2 which rests on the ground and defines, inside it, a pair of guides 3 for the passage of the wheels 4 of a motor vehicle, generally designated by the reference numeral 5.
  • the guides 3 are spaced so that they can adapt to the wheel base of all normally commercially available vehicles.
  • the base frame is furthermore provided with a pair of side members 7, and a passage area 6 is defined to the side of at least one of the guides 3 in order to allow the driver to enter and exit from the motor vehicle.
  • a main arc element 10 is provided at the base frame, and more precisely at the entry end; said arc can have any shape and is hinged to the side members at the free ends of its arms, so that it can assume an erected position, in which it is substantially at right angles to the plane defined by the base frame, and a collapsed position, in which it overlaps said base frame.
  • Intermediate arc elements are furthermore hinged to the side members 7 and support, in cooperation with the main arc 10, an awning 15 which is advantageously anchored to the base frame at the side members and at the end of the base frame which is opposite to the entry end.
  • the awning in the erected position the awning is supported by the central portion of the various arcs and consequently defines an enclosed space which surrounds the motor vehicle.
  • closure flaps designated by the reference numeral 16 are advantageously provided and are connected to the uprights 10a of the main arc 10 and in practice define a closure door for said shelter.
  • An important feature of the self-erecting shelter according to the invention is constituted by the fact that means are provided for moving the main arc, i.e. for transferring it from the collapsed position to the erected position and/or vice versa, and are actuated directly by the translatory motion of the vehicle on the base frame.
  • a stop element 30 for the front wheel of the vehicle is provided on the guides 3; said element is arranged in the position which corresponds to the attainment of the erected position for the main arc.
  • a rounded ridge-like element 31 over which the wheel 4 passes before engaging against the stop element, thus providing in practice a seat for accommodating the wheel of the vehicle in the required position.
  • the ridge-like element thus prevents the vehicle from accidentally leaving from the base frame by gravity.
  • the intermediate arcs are gradually raised, since it is the awning itself which, by being pulled by the main arc, in practice raises in succession the intermediate arcs until it reaches the final position.
  • the intermediate arcs, in their final position, are advantageously inclined toward the end of the base frame which is opposite to the entry end, so as to automatically obtain the collapse of the arcs when the motor vehicle leaves the base frame.
  • the shelter according to the invention is in erected position only when the vehicle is contained inside it, so a shelter stabilization element is present inside the shelter itself, which cannot therefore move even if it is affected by the impact of a strong wind, whereas when the vehicle is outside the shelter said shelter is automatically in collapsed position.
  • the shelter passes to the erected position, when the vehicle is inserted therein, and into the collapsed position when the vehicle exits.
  • the shelter does not require a fixed installation, i.e. does not need to be anchored to the ground, since the vehicle present inside it acts as a stabilization element, whereas if the vehicle is not present inside it stabilization is not required, since the shelter is in collapsed position.
  • hinge connections 11b can be provided on the intermediate arc elements 11a thereby to allow a refolding, without tension, in a direction away from the upper portions of the intermediate arc elements.
  • a connecting bar 11c, hinged to the intermediate arc elements 11a and to the main arc element 10, is also provided so as to provide stability and uniform movement.
  • the materials employed, as well as the contingent shapes and dimensions may be any according to the requirements.
