Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] This invention relates to a carport for parking a car, and in particular to a movable roof type car in which the roof of the carport can be pulled out or retracted when the car is parked or when the car is not in use. This is related to ports.

[Conventional technology]

Conventional carports are completely fixed, so the roof always covers the carport regardless of whether a car is present or not.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

Since the roof is located at a much higher level than the roof of the car, it has to cover the car sufficiently, giving it a much larger area than the car, which creates an unnecessary feeling of pressure especially when the car is not in use, and also reduces the area occupied by the carport. There is also the problem that it becomes wider.

This invention was made to solve the problems of the conventional carport, and its purpose is to make the roof movable using a simple mechanism, so that when the car is parked, the roof of the carport can be pulled out to its normal position. ,
To provide a movable roof type carport which can be retracted to a position out of the way when a car is not present, giving a spacious feeling of openness to a parking lot.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to achieve the above object, the movable roof type carport according to the present invention is provided with a guide part extending in the axial direction and a fixed sliding member located slightly apart from the upper end of the guide part in the perpendicular direction. A pair of pillars are erected with the fixed sliding member facing each other, and a rectangular roof plate is arranged between both the pillars,
The fixed sliding members provided at the base ends of the two pillar sides of the roof plate are engaged with the guide parts of both the pillars, and the guide parts provided along the same two sides are engaged with the fixed sliding members of the pillars. The roof plate is engaged with the roof plate so that the roof plate can freely slide from a substantially vertical position to a substantially horizontal position, and a supporting member is provided near the tip of the roof plate.

[Effect]

Therefore, in the movable roof type carport of this invention,
When the car is parked, the roof plate is pulled out to a substantially horizontal position and the tip of the roof plate is supported by the car roof via a support member to cover the car, and when the car is not present, the roof plate is moved to a substantially vertical position along the pillars. Can be retracted.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the movable roof type carport according to this invention will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 1.

FIG. 1 is a side view with the front pillar removed, in which a pair of pillars 2 (only the opposite pillar is shown in the figure) are erected on the ground 1 at a predetermined interval. A guide portion 3 extending in the axial direction and a fixed sliding member 4 located a little apart from the upper end of the guide portion 3 in the perpendicular direction are provided on the opposing inner surfaces of both columns 2. The guide portion 3 is made of, for example, a long groove or a protrusion along the support column 2, and the fixed sliding member is made of, for example, a roller.

A rectangular roof plate 5 is disposed between the pillars 2, and has one side substantially equal to the inner distance between the pillars 2 and the other perpendicular side long enough to cover a parked car C. At the base end portions of the two parallel sides of the roof plate 5 that are in contact with the pillars 2, there are provided a base end portion that can be engaged with the guide portion 3 of the pillar 2.
A fixed sliding member 6, for example a roller, and a guide 7, for example a slot or a ridge, which can engage the fixed sliding member 4 of the column 2 along the same two parallel sides, are provided. Furthermore, one or more support members 8 made of suction cups or the like are provided on the inner surface near the tip of the roof plate 5 to support the roof plate 5 on the roof R of the automobile C or the like when the roof plate 5 is pulled out. A balancer 9 made of a coiled spring is provided on the support column 2 to support part of the weight of the roof panel 5, so that the roof panel 5 can be easily pulled out and retracted.

In the embodiment of the present invention having such a configuration, the automobile C
When the roof plate 5 is absent, the roof plate 5 is retracted in a substantially vertical state along the support column 2, as shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG.
At this time, the fixed sliding member 6 of the roof board 5 is located at the lower end of the guide section 3 of the support column 2, and the fixed sliding member 4 of the support column 2 is located at the tip side of the guide section 7 of the roof board 5. When the roof plate 5 is pulled up when parking the automobile C, the fixed sliding member 6 of the roof plate 5 is guided by the guide part 3 of the support column 2 and rises, and the fixed sliding member 4 of the support column 2 is guided by the guide part of the roof plate 5. 7, the roofing material 5 decreases its inclination angle as it moves relative to the base end side of the guide section 7, and when it reaches a substantially horizontal state, the fixed sliding member 6 of the roofing material 5 moves relative to the guide section of the support column 2. At the same time, the fixed sliding member 4 of the support column 2 is located at the proximal end of the guide portion 7 of the roofing material 5, and is in a used state as shown by the solid line in FIG. The vicinity of the tip of the roof plate 5 is connected to the roof R of the automobile C via the support member 8.
Supported by When the roof board 5 is pulled in, the action is completely opposite to that described above, and the pulling operation of the roof board 5 can be easily carried out because the roof board 5 is always urged in the pulling direction by the balancer 9.

In the embodiment described above, the roof board 5 is pulled up and retracted manually, but it is also possible to use an electric system by replacing the balancer 9 with an electric motor.

Further, as shown in FIG. 2, it is also possible to apply the single embodiment described above to a large-scale parking lot by arranging them in series in the vertical and horizontal directions.

[Effect of idea]

As detailed above, according to this invention, the roof of the carport is movable and can be raised and retracted, so when no cars are present, the roof can be retracted to eliminate unnecessary pressure and give the site a spacious and open feeling. be able to. The roof that is pulled out when the car is parked is located directly above the roof of the car and its tip is supported by the roof of the car, so it is sufficient for the roof plate to have an area slightly wider than the car, and the roof plate should be placed at both ends. Since it provides support, the required strength of the pillars and roof plates is smaller than that of the cantilever type, and therefore it has excellent effects such as being lightweight and inexpensive.
