FR2612860A1 - Device for protecting motor vehicles on parking compounds - Google Patents

Abstract

The invention relates to a device presented as a portal frame which can be deployed so as to form a protective cage around a parked motor car. It is made up of a frame 1 surmounted by a portal frame 4 and two sets of covers 12. When a motorist has parked his vehicle under this device he triggers, on the marker 9 fitted with a slot machine and lock with a key, the deployment of the metal covers 12 which then form a cage around the vehicle. The vehicle is recovered by the reverse operation, namely by the refolding of the covers 12 after the owner of the vehicle has paid the amount due. This lightweight protection is attractive both for motorists and for insurance companies and the operators of hotels, commercial centres which will see in it a plus point to offer their customers.

Description

THIS INVENTION RELATES TO A DEVICE INTENDED
PROTECT A MOTOR VEHICLE FROM THEFT, THEFT OF ACCESSORIES
OR O OBJECTS LEFT ON BOARD.

ON PARKING AREAS, THEFT OF SELF-CARS,
DEGRADATIONS, THEFT OF ACCESSORIES OR OBJECTS LEFT ON BOARD
CONSTITUTING AN INCREASING DAMAGE ALSO GOOD
FOR OWNERS AND FOR INSURANCE COMPANIES.

THE DEVICE ACCORDING TO THE INVENTION PERHET TO REMEDY
TO THIS DISADVANTAGE. IT IS INTENDED TO BE INSTALLED ON ALL IREZ OE PARKING AREAS SUCH AS SHOPPING CENTERS, AIRPORTS
HOTELS, ETC. AND ITS USE CAN BE PRICED BY
THE OPERATOR OF EACH PARKING AREA.

THE DEVICE ACCORDING TO THE INVENTION PRESENTS ITSELF AS
A METALLIC FRAME POSED ON THE GROUND, DELIMITING THE PLACE OF
VEHICLE PARKING, WITH A GANTRY UNDER
WHICH FOLD 2 SETS OF METALLIC MASCUES FOR
ALLOW VEHICLE ACCESS, THESE 2 MASSES SETS
BENDS TO FORM A PROTECTIVE CAGE AROUND THE
VEHICLE. THE CONTROL OF THE MANEUVERS IS MADE BY A HOUSING
CONTROL LOCATED AL EXT # \ ERIEUR OF THE DEVICE AND EQUIPPED WITH A COIN SYSTEM.

FIGURE I PERSPECTIVE REPRESENTS THE DEVICE
ACCORDING TO THE INVENTION. THE FRAMEWORK (I) OF APPROXIMATE DIMENSIONS
FROM 5 METERS LENGTH TO 2.2 METERS WIDE
OF A METAL TUBE BENDED IN A FORUE OF U. AT THE BASE OF THIS
FRAME (i) A SHIELD SHAPED OF A CE METALLI TUBE (2) AND OF CHEEKS (3) IN MESH OR METALLIC SHEET. EQUAL
DISTANCE FROM THE END OF THE LENGTH OF THE FRAME IS FIXED
A METAL TUBE GATE (4) ICUE ON WHICH ARE FIXED
FIXED MASKS (5 AND 6) IN MESH OR METALLIC TGLE
AS WELL AS 4 PERFORATED FLASKS (7) FOR THE
FIXING OF MOBILE MASKS. A HOUSING (ll) CONTAINING
THE MOBILE MASKS CONTROL MECHANISM IS FIXED AT
GATE (4). AT THE END OF THE OPEN SIDE OF THE FRAME (I) IS FIXED A TERMINAL (9) CONTAINING THE CONTROLS
D OPENING AND CLOSING OF THE DEVICE. 2 RINGS (10)
TO ENSURE LOCKING OF MOBILE MASKS ARE FIXED
ONE ON THE SHIELD, THE OTHER ON THE CONTROL TERMINAL.

FIGURE 2 PERSPECTIVE REPRESENTS THE FORM OF
MOBILE MASKS (12) MADE EITHER METALLIC MESH
WITH WELDED MESH, EITHER IN FOLDED SHEET PLATES. THESE
MASKS (12) WEAR 2 PERFORATIONS (18) FOR INSURING
THEIR ARTICULATION ON THE FLANGES (7) OF THE GANTRY (4).

FIGURE 3 REPRESENTS THE DEVICE ACCORDING TO THE INVENTION
SEEN IN LONGITUDINAL SECTION AND WITH I SETS OF MASKS
MOBILE (12) IN THE OPEN POSITION AND THE OTHER IN THE CLOSED POSITION.

FIGURE 4 SHOWS FROM ABOVE THE PRINCIPLE OF
ASSEMBLY AND COMPOSITION OF THE BOX (11) CONTAINING THE
MOBILE MASK CONTROL MECHANISM. THE HOUSING (11)
IS FIXED ON THE INTERNAL FACE OF THE TUBE FORMING THE GANTRY (4)
THE FIXED MASKS (5) ARE FIXED ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE TUBE FORUTING THE GANTRY (4), THIS IN ORDER TO MOVE BETWEEN THE FACES
EXTERNAL AND INTERNAL OF THE TUBE (4) THE NECESSARY SPACE FOR THE
FOLDING OF THE MOBILE MASKS (12). THE HOUSING (it) IS PROVIDED WITH A REMOVABLE PANEL (13) ALLOWING ACCESS TO THE MECHANISM
CONSISTING OF I ELECTRIC MOTOR (14), I MOTORCYCLE REDUCER (15) 2 DRUMS (16) FOR RECEIVING THE CABLE (19) PROVIDING THE
DESCENT CONTROL, UNLOCKING AND RISE OF
MOBILE MASKS (12), 2 RETURN PULLEYS (17)
FIGURE 5 REPRESENTS THE DETAIL OF THE SYSTEM FROM THE FRONT
FOR LOCKING DOWN AND MOVING MOBILE MASKS.

ON EACH MASK DESCENDING UNTIL LAND IS ARTICULATED ONE
HOOK (20) ON A SHAFT (23) WELDED TO THE BOTTOM OF THE INTERNAL FACE
FROM THE MASK (12) THE ASSEMBLY LOCATED AT THE VERTICAL OF THE RINGS (10)
THE CABLE (19) WRAPPED AT ONE OF ITS ENDS ON THE
DRUM (16) IS ATTACHED TO ITS OTHER END AT THE HOOK (20).

A SPRING (22) HELD BETWEEN A LEG (21) WELDED TO THE MATOU (12) AND THE HOOK (20) TENDS TO HOLD IT I IN POSITION
ENGAGED UNDER THE RING (10). WHEN ORDERING A LIFT
THE CABLE (19) SPREADS THE HOOK (20) FROM THE AXLE OF THE RING (10)
THEN MOVE UP THE ASSEMBLY OF MOBILE MASKS (12).

FIGURE 6 SHOWS PROFILE SYSTEM DETAILS
OF LOCKING, DESCENT AND ASSEMBLY OF MOBILE MASKS.

Claims (3)

OF THE SAID VEHICLE. THE DEVICE AND RETRACTING TO ENABLE RECOVERY DEPLOYER ON ORDER AROUND THE VEHICLE PARKED UNDER AND A GANTRY (4) RECEIVING MASKS (5,6 AND 12) SE COMPOSED O A FRAME (I) DELIMING THE PARKING SPACE ON PARKING AREAS CHARACTERIZED IN WHAT IT IS  I) PROTECTION DEVICE D OF MOTOR VEHICLES 2) DEVICE ACCORDING TO THE CLAIMS CHARACTERIZED IN THAT THE MASKS (5,6 AND 12) ARE MADE OF METALLlrUE MESH WELDED MESH. 3) DEVICE ACCORDING TO L4 CLAIM I CHARACTERIZED IN THIS CUE THE MASSUES (5,6 AND 12) ARE MADE OF METAL SHEET.
