The rear end of the vehicle and the upper end of the gate-type fixed safety fence and a vertical side plate member whose center is pivotally supported at the fulcrum near the upper end of the support column on both sides are provided with appropriate clearances. An elevating safety fence having a lattice-shaped curved surface made of vertically and horizontally round bar steel material that surrounds it, and a vertical side plate member of the elevating safety fence that is established in the vehicle entry part when the pallet is introduced, and A pivoting member of an upside-down safety fence is provided around the fulcrum so as to fall from a standing posture to an inverted posture.

That is, in FIG. 9, a pallet 20 on which a car is mounted is raised to a vehicle entrance floor 26, and columns 21 fixed to the left and right sides of the pallet rear end of the vehicle entrance floor are provided.
When the opposite side 25 of the support point 24 of the flip-down safety fence 23 attached to the pallet 20 is brought into contact with a pair of left and right rollers 22 pivotally attached to the ear shaft protruding above the pallet, As shown in FIG. 3A, the fall-down type safety fence 23 rises as it rises. Also, this pallet 20
When the safety fence 23 is lowered to its original position,
As shown in FIG. 3B, the device is placed in an inverted state.

[0006]

However, in this structure, the pallet with the movable safety fence is raised to or lowered from the vehicle entrance floor, and the pallet is mounted on the upper part of the column attached to the vehicle entrance floor. Opening / closing the safety fence while bringing the roller into contact with the safety fence. Therefore, in order to do so, the pallet with the upright-type safety fence must be moved up and down, that is, raised and lowered, which is inconvenient.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been proposed in view of the above circumstances, and prevents a hatchback door accident of a hatchback vehicle from occurring, without raising or lowering a pallet, and thereby protecting the hatchback vehicle in a parking device capable of entering and exiting the vehicle quickly and safely. It is intended to provide a device.

First, in FIG. 1 and FIG.
3 and a circulating device 12 for horizontally moving the pallet with a chain or the like. In the device of the present invention, in order to prevent an accident that occurs when the hatchback door is opened during driving, an upside-down safety fence 1 is provided at the top of the pallet so that even if the hatchback door of the car is opened during driving of the parking device, Since the upside down safety fence is in the upside down position, the hatch bag door of the car does not open upward from the upside down position of the upside down safety fence, thereby preventing accidental contact with the machine. To do.

That is, in FIGS. 2 to 3, a pallet 11, a loading / unloading vehicle 13, and a ceiling beam in the front-rear direction for connecting upper central portions of portal-type fixed safety fences 3, 3 erected on the front and rear of the pallet, respectively. Branches from 17 and its center,
The right and left ends of a Ч-shaped beam composed of an L-shaped beam 3a fixed to the left end of the rear section type safety fence 3 are fixed to a lateral fulcrum shaft 18 pivotally supported by bearings 14, and the front end is horizontal. A flap-shaped up / down safety fence opening / closing lever 2 to be described later, whose rear end is directed downward and rearward, is fixed. Reference numeral 2 denotes a fence-shaped safety fence opening / closing lever having a rear end fixed to the fulcrum shaft 18 and a front end protruding forward by an appropriate length. The safety fence opening / closing lever 2 is located directly above the safety fence opening / closing lever 2 as shown in FIG. The lower end of the drive lever 8 suspended from the moving rod of the drive device 5 installed in the ceiling aggregate structure of FIG. 1 is in contact with a lower pin via a roller 19 (FIGS. 5 to 6) with a horizontal pin.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the fall-down type safety fence 1 and the safety fence opening / closing lever 2 are integrally fixed by welding or the like, and the bearing 14 is attached to the fixed safety fence 3. A fulcrum shaft 18 is provided on the bearing 14, and the upside down safety fence 1 is inserted into the rotating shaft 18 so as to be rotatable around the bearing 14. A driving device 5 for the safety fence 1 is supported by a driving device mounting base 6, a driving device mounting material 7, and a lever mounting base 4 on a ceiling structural member above the safety fence opening / closing lever 2.

In such a structure, as shown in FIG. 3, when the 13 gets on the pallet 11, the moving rod built in the driving device 5 is retracted into the main body as shown by an arrow, so that the tip of the moving rod is moved to the tip. The vertically extending drive lever 8 gradually moves, and the safety fence opening / closing lever 2 protruding from the front end of the fall-down safety fence 1 is pushed backward (FIG. 6). Is rotated clockwise to a standing position with the bearing 14 as a fulcrum. At this time, the upper limit switch mounting material 9 below the driving device mounting material 7 is attached to the upper limit switch 1 so that the fall-down type safety fence 1 does not rise too much.
