  • the device is constructed
  • the cylindrical sections 12 are closed at a lower end.
  • the preferred embodiment includes a lower section 14 and an upper section 16.
  • a mounting fixture 18 is installed in a parking surface so that a top edge of the
  • mounting fixture 18 is flush with the top of the parking surface.
  • a hole must be cut into the parking surface of sufficient size to receive the parking space holder 10 when it is collapsed.
  • a sleeve may be inserted into the hole if desired by the user, and may be required depending on the composition of the parking surface.
  • the sections 12 are fixed in place when the space holder 10 is extended by a locking rod 20.
  • the locking rod 20 is also constructed from telescoping segments to mirror the construction of the sections 12.
  • the locking rod 20 passes through openings in the lower ends of the sections 12.
  • the locking rod 20 is formed from square hollow
  • the sizes of the segments of the locking rod 20 are chosen so that they nest together when the space holder 10 is collapsed.
  • the number of segments of the locking rod 20 will usually be equal to the numbers of sections 12. In the preferred embodiment, there will be at least a lower segment 22 and an upper segment 24 of the locking rod 20.
  • Each segment of the locking rod 20 includes near a lower end a locking tab 26. Gaskets 27 ensure a snug fit between the segments so that slippage does not occur.
  • a key lock 30 is inserted into a cap plate 32 at an upper end of the device. The key lock 30 must be activated to allow rotation of the locking rod 20.
  • a fixing rod 34 is installed in a base 36 of the lower section 14.
  • the fixing rod 34 is polygonal, so that it cannot rotate within a similarly
  • a lower receiving notch 42 which is utilized to lock the space holder 10 in its collapsed position.
  • the locking rod is rotated so that the lowermost locking tab 26 is received in the notch 42.
  • a user inserts his key into the key lock 30, rotating the locking rod 20 so that the locking tab 26 in the lower segment 22 rotates out of the notch 42 in the fixing rod 34.
  • the process is reversed.
  • the user inserts the key into the key lock 30 to rotate the locking rod 20.
  • the locking rod 20 is rotated until the locking tabs 26 are disengaged from the fixing rod 34.
  • the upper section 16 can then be lowered into the lower section 14, which in turn is lowered beneath the parking surface until the cap plate 30 rests directly on the parking surface.
  • the locking rod 20 is again rotated until the lower locking tab 26 on the lower segment 22 is received in the receiving notch 42 of the fixing rod 34.
  • the user removes the key, and the parking space holder 10 is locked in its collapsed position.

  • the casing 130 receives sections of the remote controlled parking space holder 110.
  • the upper end of the casing 130 is affixed to the surface plate 132.
  • the device is air powered, so an air and electrical power conduit 134 must be provided with the device. It is envisioned that in use, a single power conduit 134 will service multiple units of the remote controlled parking space holder 110.
  • a four-way air supply valve 136 is connected to the conduit 134 to supply air to the device.
  • a first air inlet valve 138 near a lower end of the base section 118 allows the flow of air from the conduit 134 into the bottom of base section 118, and is used in extending the device.

Abstract

L'invention a pour objet un dispositif de maintien d'espace de stationnement (10, 110). Ce dispositif comprend une pluralité de sections télescopiques (12, 112) qui peuvent être verrouillées dans une position verticale, étendue pour bloquer l'entrée d'une zone ou d'un espace de stationnement. En position déverrouillée, le dispositif de maintien d'espace (10, 110) peut être abaissé dans une position de niveau avec la surface de stationnement pour laisser passer une voiture. L'utilisateur peut utiliser tout nombre de dispositifs pour désigner une zone de stationnement. Le dispositif peut être actionné manuellement ou commandé à distance.
