The guide roller 14a moves to the vertical rail 24c of the fourth inner guide rail 24 via the curved portion 24b, but at this time, the second guide roller 14b starts to engage with the vertical rail 24c and is conveyed downward. When passing through the cutouts 53, 52 of the front vertical frame 34 in the middle of descending, the vertical intervals of the first and second guide rollers 14a, 14b are set longer than the vertical length of the cutouts. The stability is maintained because the other guide roller is always engaged with the vertical rail while the guide roller is passing through the notch. In addition, the third guide roller 14c is attached to the rear vertical frame 4
When passing through the notches 43, 42, 41, respectively, the first and second guide rollers 14a, 14b are always in the fourth position.
Since the mutual intervals are set so as to engage with the vertical rails 24c of the inner guide rails 24, the transportation is similarly stabilized. Then, when the fourth carrier 14 moves to the loading position in front of the storage device, the drive of the endless chain 61 is stopped.

Next, an object to be conveyed such as an automobile is placed on the mounting table 14.
When the endless chain 61 is carried in and is completed, the endless chain 61 rotates in the opposite direction to the above, so that the fourth carrier 14 moves up along the vertical rails 24c and 34c in reverse to the above, and the curved portions 24b and 34b.
It moves from the front to the rear along the horizontal rails 24a and 34a through the carriage and is conveyed to the storage position and stopped. Similarly third
The carrier 13 and the second carrier 12 can also be transported from the storage position to the loading position and from the loading position to the storage position.
At this time, the third inner guide rails 23 and the third outer guide rails 33 and the second inner guide rails 22 and the second outer guide rails 32 are arranged at different intervals from the above-mentioned embodiment, but the operation is the same, so the description will be made. Omit it. First carriage 11
In the same manner, by similarly transporting forward, or by swiveling the upper plate of the mounting table as shown in a different embodiment, a storage object such as an automobile can be loaded and returned and stored.

Although four layers are illustrated in the above embodiment, the present invention may have two or more layers. In addition, the first layer portion does not need to be provided with a carrier. For example, the first layer (not limited to the first floor as a building, but may be the second floor or higher) is an ordinary arcade of a shopping district, The storage structure of the second layer or more of the present invention may be provided. Further, when the building such as a building is to be housed on the roof, the building can be used as the first layer and the housing device can be provided thereon. In this case, since the rooftop can be used as a storage space, the vehicle may be transported to a predetermined position on the roof by the carrier and then moved to the rooftop storage space again by driving the vehicle. Further, in the case of an automobile, the carry-in becomes the ground plane, but in the case of a boat or the like, the carry-in position becomes the surface of the water. In short, it goes without saying that various design changes can be made without changing the gist of the present invention.

[0027]

As described above, according to the present invention, the guide rails for guiding the movement of each carrier are individually provided, but notches are provided in the front vertical frame and the rear vertical frame for fixing the guide rails, and the front and rear portions thereof are provided.
