Description

The invention relates to a hood garage.

background

In contrast to conventional garages hood garages space saving in a protective hood provide a storage room for at least one vehicle. Usually, the guard has a frontal guard opening, with which a closable entry and exit hatch is provided, through which the vehicle can get into and out of the storage room. Basically, the storage room is also suitable for parking other objects.

Garages are particularly in demand in urban residential areas, because there is a large density of private parking vehicles. There the existing range does not cover the undoubtedly existing need for vehicle storage facilities.

From the document DE 31 32 539 A1 a hood garage is known in which the protective cover as a whole is pivotable about a pivot axis to allow access to the storage room and an extension out of this.

In the document DE 1 148 372 a small garage for a vehicle is described in which the retraction and Ausfahr hatch is closed with a hinged gate. Also with the hood garage in the document DE 865 653 a pivoting or rotating mechanism is provided to allow entry into the storage room with the vehicle. In one embodiment, a sliding cover is provided for opening and closing the entrance and exit.

In the document DE 1 914 319 U is a portable garage revealed with two garage halves, each consisting of a vertically retractable retractable garage wall.

A self-erecting garage is in the document DE 693 04 727 T2 described.

The document AU 626017 B2 discloses a collapsible portable garage with telescopically connectable component modules and associated sliding means for relative sliding so that the garage can be at least partially telescopically folded and expanded, as well as associated abutments connectable to each module to confine the maximum deflection to adjacent modules.

In the document US 3,600,866 A is a portable garage for caravan trailers and the like disclosed. It consists of a housing with walls with a collapsible main door in the entrance / exit area, one or more side walls and a connector that allows simultaneous opening and closing of all doors.

The document DE 202 05 366 U1 discloses a transportable protective device for vehicles, in particular motor vehicles, comprising a base member for receiving the vehicle and a frame member having a side frame member and a roof frame member and to which a cover member is attached, wherein the side frame member substantially vertically extending side rails and the roof frame member substantially horizontally having extending roof posts. The length of the side rails is variable so that thereby the distance of the roof frame part is variable from the base member, and wherein the cover is provided in at least one area with a closable entry opening for the vehicle.

Summary

The object of the invention is to provide a hood garage, in which the ease of use and ease of use is improved, in particular with regard to the departure of the vehicle entering the storage room and getting into the vehicle when it is to be moved out of the hood garage.

To solve the problem, a hood garage is provided according to the independent claim 1. Advantageous embodiments are the subject of dependent claims.

It is a hood garage created with a protective cover in which a storage room is formed for at least one vehicle. The storage room can be sized in size so that at least one passenger car can be parked here. The protective hood is connected to a fastening device which is suitable for securing the protective cover on a garage footprint and is designed, for example, with a base frame. To provide a closable entry and exit hatch, the guard has a frontal guard opening. The frontal guard opening can be opened and closed again, so that the storage room is formed as a closed space. For this purpose, the frontal guard opening may be provided with a hatch of any kind, which is designed for example with a roller shutter or a pivot. The pivot may be an upwardly pivotable door for which the pivot axis is horizontal. But also a pivot with several leaves, which are pivotable about an associated vertical pivot axis can be provided.

The hood of the hood garage then has a side guard opening which is closed with at least one door member such that the side guard opening is variably adjustable for releasing a side entry of a parked in the storage vehicle with respect to a horizontal opening width by displacing the at least one door element. The side guard opening may be a closable opening. In height, the side guard opening may extend substantially over the entire height of the guard. For opening and closing the side guard opening can be provided that the at least a door element is displaced in the horizontal direction to open the side guard opening with the desired horizontal opening width and later close again, if necessary.

The at least one door element is formed with a sliding door element. The sliding door element is formed by a one of the front side of the protective hood with the end-end protective hood opening emanating side wall portion completely detected.

The sliding door element can, for example, be infinitely displaceable along a horizontally extending guide in order to adjust the opening width. The horizontal guide can be formed by means of a frame construction of the hood garage.

To open and close the side guard opening the entire side wall portion is moved as a door, preferably such that no superimposition of (sidewall) elements takes place.

Advantage of the horizontal opening width variably adjustable, side guard opening is that so the opening can be used flexibly in connection with different vehicle types and vehicle sizes. Always the lateral guard opening can be opened in the horizontal direction in the extent necessary for a comfortable boarding or disembarking from the vehicle. Optionally, the side guard opening can even be opened so far that even a back door can be opened on the vehicle.

With the help of the fastening device, the guard is secured to the garage floor space. Here, a backup can be provided solely due to the weight of fastening device and protective cover. Alternatively or additionally, a floor mounting may be provided, for example by means of pegs and / or screw connections.

The space requirement of the hood garage exceeds the dimensions of the subordinate vehicle regularly only a few centimeters. The hood garage can in principle be placed on all rented or purchased parking spaces conventional area size. Your lower one Space requirement results from a lateral entry possibility of the driver from outside the hood garage directly into the underlying vehicle. It fulfills the essential protective functions of a massive garage and protects the parked vehicle from the effects of the weather, vandalism, dirt and damage and reduces the risk of theft. The safe entry and exit without touching the vehicle body with the inner walls of the hood garage can be ensured by means of Radführungsschienen and / or brake wedges. A hood garage does not require an official building permit.

A further embodiment provides that the horizontal opening width of the side guard opening is continuously adjustable by displacing the at least one door element.

Preferably, a further development provides for an emergency mechanism which, as an alternative to a door opening mechanism, can be actuated from the storage compartment in order to at least partially open the protective cover opening by displacing the at least one door element in emergency situations. The door opening mechanism may be formed with an inside arranged handle. The emergency mechanism may be a purely mechanical mechanism, for example a lever mechanism. Alternatively or additionally, an emergency mechanism may be provided with an electric drive, which is activated, for example, by pressing a button. The emergency mechanism is particularly helpful in situations when the vehicle is partially or partially placed in the storage room and partially outside the storage room when the vehicle is being retracted or extended so that the driver can not access the usual door opening mechanism badly or even through an open window , The emergency mechanism here helps to still open the side guard opening to allow exit from the vehicle.

In an advantageous embodiment, the protective hood can be designed according to one of the following types: Hardcover construction and frame construction with a shell made of a softcover material. In the case of the hardcover construction, the protective hood may consist of protective hood elements made of a plastic material and / or a fiber-reinforced Composite material exist. Other materials, such as wood, can also be used. In the case of the softcover variant, the frame construction may be a metal frame. The at least one door element for the lateral protective hood opening can be accommodated on the metal frame. The shell may consist of a textile or a foil material. In the case of the textile material, this may be provided with a water and / or a dirt-repellent surface coating.

A development may provide a wheel guiding device. The wheel guide device provides a guide for the wheels of the vehicle during retraction and extension available, in particular to avoid a bumping of the vehicle to the inside of the guard. The wheel guiding device can be formed with metal rail elements. Alternatively or additionally, the formation of the wheel guiding device can be provided with the aid of precast concrete parts. The elements of the wheel guiding device can have a modular structure, so that, for example, wheel guiding devices of different lengths can be produced. The wheel guiding device, in particular also when using precast concrete parts, can be connected to the fastening device and / or the protective hood, so that the securing of the hood garage on the garage footprint is supported by the dead weight of the construction. In particular, when using precast concrete parts, these can also take over the function of the fastening device, such that the precast concrete provide enough weight to secure the hood garage on the garage floor space. The wheel guiding device can be arranged at least in sections on the fastening device, for example sections of a base frame, in particular transverse struts.

A further embodiment provides that the wheel guiding device is designed to be adjustable with respect to a guide width. It can be provided that the width of the guide for the wheels on one side of the vehicle (wheel width) is adjustable. Additionally or alternatively it can be provided that an outer guide width with respect to the two outer sides of the wheels on both sides of the vehicle is adjustable.

In one embodiment, an entry stop device associated with the vehicle wheels may be provided. The Einfahrstoppeinrichtung can be combined with the Radführungseinrichtung be, for example, such that at the wheel guide a brake or stop block is formed.

An embodiment provides that the Einfahrstoppeinrichtung is displaceable for setting a Einfahrstoppposition along an input and extension direction. For example, it may be provided to receive the brake or stop block slidably on the wheel guiding device. The entry stop device may be lockable in the various entry stop positions.

Preferably, a further training provides for a stop in the storage room protruding and along the Einundweitfahrrichtung displaceable Einfahrstoppzeichen. For example, an entry stop sign may be suspended from the inner deck of the guard or, alternatively, may be attached to a rigid or flexible device and selectively slidable longitudinally on the inner deck. Additionally or alternatively, in the interior of the storage room, for example on the inner walls of the protective cover, markings may be arranged which are optionally also displaceable and serve the user as orientation or warnings regarding the permitted depth of entry or the lateral position of the vehicle in the storage room.

In one embodiment, it may be provided that the fastening device is formed with an anti-slip device. The anti-slip device can be formed with non-slip, rough and / or toothed profiles on the fastening device, for example with non-slip, rough and / or toothed profiles on a base frame of the fastening device.

The Fig. 1 and 2 show schematic representations of a hood garage with a protective cover 1, in which a frontal guard opening 2 and a side guard opening 3 are closed and open. The frontal guard opening 2 is provided with a pivot 4, which is pivoted to open and close the frontal guard opening 2 about a horizontal pivot axis. As a result, a retraction and Ausfahr hatch is opened and closed. Also conceivable are other closure options, such as a roller shutter or a folding sliding door or when using textile materials, a similar closure principle as that of a convertible top.

The lateral protective hood opening 3 is provided with a sliding door element 5 which, in the illustrated embodiment, completely engages a side wall section 6 of the protective hood 1 in the direction of the frontal protective hood opening 2. The sliding door element 5 is continuously displaceable in the horizontal direction, so that a horizontal opening width for the side guard opening 2 is variably adjustable. According to Fig. 2 Thus, a desired opening width can be provided to comfortably and sufficiently open a vehicle door 7 for leaving the vehicle.

The Fig. 3 to 6 show schematic representations of a base frame 8, on which the protective cover 1 is arranged in the illustrated embodiment, to secure the hood garage on a garage footprint. Various embodiments of a Radführungseinrichtung 9 are shown in connection with the base frame 8. At the Radführungseinrichtung 9 a brake pad 10 is arranged.

When running in Fig. 4 the Radrührungseinrichtung 9 is formed by means of concrete parts 11.

While the Fig. 3 to 5 show a two-sided formed Radführungseinrichtung 9, this is done in Fig. 6 one-sided only on one side of the vehicle.

Below, further aspects of the hood garage are described.

The materials of which the protective cover 1 may consist preferably combine the properties of lightness, stability, weathering resistance and fire resistance. These properties can be achieved by the sensible combination of suitable materials in conjunction with special structures and coatings.

The base frame 8 (see. Fig. 3 ) is used in addition to the inclusion of the Radführungseinrichtung 9 mainly the attachment of the hood garage on its footprint. This can be done, inter alia, by introducing pegs or dowels into the ground. However, this method is accompanied by minimal, reparable damage to the floor covering, especially in the form of holes in the asphalt or concrete pavement or stone pavement, which may not be allowed or not desirable.

The hood garage offers in this case a procedure of their installation without any damage to the floor covering, namely the use of sufficiently heavy weights in conjunction with a non-slip, rough or toothed profile of the base frame support surface. These weights can be placed on the inner edges of the base frame 8. Conveniently, the wheel guiding device 9, which may additionally be designed as a braking device should be made of a heavy material, so as to take over the function of these weights. It is particularly inexpensive and practical if this concrete is used in composable finished parts 10 (see. Fig. 4 ).

The special feature of the approach for the driver is the hood garage in the displacement of the almost complete, driver side wall to the rear (see. Fig. 2 ). Here, a smooth sliding door mechanism can ensure the tightness of the hood garage from the weather. The sliding door member 5, in contrast to known constructions, has a significant advantage in that the access of the hood garage in its horizontal width with respect to different car types can meet every need so that it opens both the narrow door of a sedan and a wide coupe Door or a sports car swing door guaranteed.

It makes sense, the sliding door 5 inside to provide appropriate handles so that it can be opened and closed not only from the outside but also from a vehicle driver located in the retracted vehicle by reaching through the open vehicle side window. This is particularly advantageous if the space for maneuvering in front of the retracting and extending hatch is tight and would be further limited by a deferred side wall. Thus, the retraction or extension of the vehicle is also possible with pushed aside side wall.

It can be provided that in the closed state, the side wall, so the sliding door element 5, is locked by means of a locking mechanism of the lockable swing gate 4, so that they do not need their own locking device and the hood garage gets by with a single lock.

Other opening variants can be provided for the hood garage, for example, a combination of both openings to be operated by a single handle. Also, the entire side wall could be formed by a Faltschiebetür or open as a roll-up door. Such mechanisms would be particularly suitable for any automatic operating concepts. In view of the inexpensiveness of the production of a hood garage, however, the sliding rear side wall would be preferable to the latter as well as the previously known opening mechanisms in any case.

The wheel guide 9 of the hood garage designed in comparison to the designs of known hood garages by significant material savings and by the Use of very inexpensive materials extremely cost-effective. The wheel guiding device 9 can be formed from assemblable precast concrete parts. The correspondingly shaped and smoothed concrete parts can be placed on the lateral outer edges of the base frame 8 and serve as Bodenbefestigungsgewichte. In this arrangement, they function as abutting edges for the outer sides of the vehicle tires (see. Fig. 4 ).

The wheel guiding and braking device of the hood garage can generally be made of any suitable material. In case it is possible to fix the floor with pegs or dowels, there are further material and cost-saving possibilities. These consist for example in the arrangement of the guide rails as simple abutting edges for the inner sides of the vehicle tires (see. Fig. 5 ) or in the installation of only one wheel guide rail (see. Fig. 6 ). All variants described come with either only a single brake wedge.

The respective Radführungsvorrichtungen are adjustable in width and the brake wedge in the longitudinal position to be able to be adapted to different vehicle types.

Despite their minimalist constructions, the wheel-guiding and braking devices of the hood garage, in conjunction with helpful markings, ensure safe entry and exit of the vehicle. In order to protect the vehicle tires and not even bring their side surfaces with the Radführungsvorrichtung in contact if possible, the hood garage above the access hatch may have a centrally arranged marker strip, which continues under the roof. Thus, when driving in, the driver can orient himself very easily over the lateral position of the vehicle, for example by matching the rearview mirror with the marking strip.

The frequent impact of the front tire on the brake wedge should be largely avoided. For this purpose, a stop sign can be mounted under the roof of the hood garage at the height of the windscreen, which is adjustable in the longitudinal direction and thus suitable for different types of cars. Thus, the driver of the vehicle can pinpoint stop just before the stop sign touches the windscreen and the front wheel touches the brake wedge.

For the very unlikely, but conceivable case that the vehicle fails exactly at the point between entry and driveway at which the driver's door does not normally open, an emergency opening possibility of the side wall of the hood garage may be present.

To ensure good visibility at night, the hood garage can be equipped with suitable reflectors and / or a lighting device with motion detector.

Ventilation openings on the protective hood 1 serve to prevent the formation of condensation in the interior of the hood garage and to ensure the drying of a vehicle coming from the wet.

The hood garage can be designed as a mobile garage. It can then be dismantled if needed without loss of substance and reused in another location.

Also, in one embodiment, the hood garage may be equipped with an alarm system.

On the outside of the protective cover, an advertising space may be provided.

The features of the invention disclosed in the foregoing description, in the claims and in the drawing may be of importance both individually and in any combination for the realization of the invention in its various embodiments.
