Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained.

A plurality of hook units 2 are arranged in a storage portion of the hook unit stocker 26 so as to overlap each other in an upward direction. In each hook unit 2, the rollers 18, 20 are in contact with the guide plate 60, as shown in FIG. 5, and the upper surfaces of the side plates 4, 6 are in slidable contact with the guide surface of the guide plate 66. As shown in FIG. 4, the lowermost hook unit 2 is
The stopper surface 22 & of No. 2 is locked to the cam 5B (8).

First, a case where a bicycle is stored in a parking lot will be explained.

The user inserts the magnetic card into the card slot provided in Kent's hook unit stocker 42 equipped with a back lamp, and presses the entry button (not shown).The card reader reads the card signal and enters the combination. The information will be sent to the computer on February 21st, and the entry information will be stored in the computer.
An entry signal is sent from the entry button switch.

This signal causes the computer to first select solenoid 5.
A drive signal is supplied to 2. The solenoid 52 is driven,
When the output shaft moves to the left in FIG. 4, the engagement between the stopper surface 22a of the hook unit 2 and the stopper 58a of the cam 58 is released, and the lowest hook unit 2 falls onto the guide plate 62. The side plates 4 and 6 are the guide plates 6.
Freed from 6 regulations. The hook of the hook unit 2 on the guide plate 62 projects downward from the lower end of the case 42. The user then hooks the bicycle handlebars onto the hook 10.12. The output shaft of the solenoid 52 returns instantaneously and locks the recessed portion 22 of the hook unit 2 that has fallen. At this time, the lift 28 is waiting at the lowest position, and its horizontal rail surfaces 68 and 70 are located at the same level as the upper surface of the guide plate 62. on the other hand,
The chuck mechanism connected to the vantograph 80 is located at one end of the lift body 28a on the guide plate 62 side, and the other chuck mechanism 144' is on standby at a position slightly above the center of the body 28' in FIG. 2, closer to the right side. are doing. The user manually pushes the bicycle toward the chuck piece 132 of the chuck mechanism. As a result, the regulated member 1 of the lift unit 2
6a pushes the inclined surface of the chuck piece 162. As a result, the chuck piece 132 resists the elasticity of the coil spring 168 and rotates in the counterclockwise rotating direction about the shaft 134 in FIG.
36. Next, the motor 76 is driven by a command from the computer, and the rack is moved to the left in FIG. 8 to reduce its overall length, and the chuck pieces 152 and 133 are moved toward the center of the lift body 28a. In conjunction with the movement of the chuck pieces 132, 133, the hook unit 2 also moves along the horizontal rail surface 68°7o while suspending the bicycle, being regulated by the chuck pieces 132, 133, and the entire bicycle is lifted into the lift body. When the motor 76 moves below 28a, the drive of the motor 76 stops. At this time, the other regulated member 14a of the hook unit 2 collides with one chuck piece of the other chuck mechanism 144', pushes the chuck piece against the elasticity of the coil spring, and pushes the chuck piece against the elasticity of the coil spring. It is inserted between the two halves. Next, the lift main body 28a is raised according to a command from the computer, and when the roller guide rail 40a of the handle guide 40 of the vacant bicycle storage section and the horizontal rail surface 68,70 of the lift main body 28a match, the lift main body 28a is lifted up. The rise stops. Now, a case will be explained in which the bicycle storage section on the third floor on the right side of FIG. 2 is selected. In this case, the solenoid (11) 160 of the chuck mechanism is driven by a command from the computer, the elevating plate 122 is raised, and the interlocking relationship between the chuck pieces 132, 133 and the regulated member 16a of the hook unit 2 is released. Next, the motor is driven by a command from the computer, and the entire length of the pantograph mechanism 80' is extended, and the chuck mechanism 144' is attached to the horizontal rail surface 68 of the lift body 28a.
．． 70, move to the right in FIG. 2 and enter the handle guide 40 of the bicycle storage section on the third floor on the right side. As a result, the hook unit 2 moves from the lift main body 28a into the handle guide 40, and the rear wheel of the bicycle is placed on the tire guide 68. Next, in response to a command from the computer, the pair of chuck pieces of the chuck mechanism 144' are raised, and the hook unit 2 is released and released from the chuck mechanism 144'. Due to its own weight, it moves toward the back of the bicycle storage compartment due to the slope of the rack. Furthermore, when the bicycle is placed in the bicycle storage compartment on the left side of FIG. It is something that The chuck mechanism 144' that sent the bicycle into the bicycle storage section is driven by a motor to move the bicycle to the lift body 28. The main body 28 returns to the approximately central position, and then the main body 28
a is lowered to the lowest position.

Next, a case where the user takes out the bicycle from the parking lot will be explained.

The user goes to the gate where the exit OK lamp is on, inserts the card into the card slot, and presses the exit button switch. The combination machine raises the lift body 28a and stops the lift body 28a on the floor from which the bicycle is to be removed. Assume that the bicycle storage section on the third floor on the left side in FIG. 2 is selected.

By driving the lever 76, the chuck mechanism moves to one end of the handle guide 40 on the third floor on the left side. Next left 3
The tire guide 38 on the floor is driven, and the tire guide 38
The lower right side of the image is tilted to the right. As a result, the bicycle moves to the right in FIG. 2 due to its own weight, and the regulated member 16a of the hook unit 2 collides with the chuck piece 162 of the chuck mechanism, and due to the breakage, the chuck piece 162 is moved towards the shaft 134t.
- The regulated member 14a is inserted between the chuck pieces 132 and 133 by rotating the center in the counterclockwise rotation direction in FIG. 8 against the elasticity of the coil spring 158. Next, by driving the motor 76, the chuck mechanism is moved to the lift main body 2B&
The bicycle is guided below the center of the lift body 28a, and when the entire bicycle is located below the center of the lift body 28a, the drive of the motor 76 is stopped. Next, the lift main body 28B descends, and the horizontal rail surface 68,70 of the lift main body 28a and the roller guide surface of the guide plate 62 of the gate coincide with each other.

Next, the motor 76 is driven to move the chuck mechanism 7 to the left end of the main body 28a in FIG. 2, and the bicycle moves into the gate. The user pulls out the bicycle until the guide rollers 18 and 20 of the hook unit 2 come into contact with the guide plate 60.

At this time, the regulated member 16a of the hook unit 2 engages with the hook 50. The user then removes the bicycle from the hook 10.12 of the hook unit 2. Next, remove the magnetic card from the slot and take out the bicycle to use it. When the vehicle is completely unloaded, the computer drives the motor 44 to raise the hook 50. As the hook 50 rises, the hook unit 2 on the guide plate 62 rises with the rollers 18.degree. 20 coming into contact with the guide plate 60.

At this time, one side plate 6 comes into contact with the direction changing roller 64,
The side plates 4 and 6 are rotated 90° in the direction of rotation of the hour hand in FIG. 4 about the rollers 18 and 20tl, and the recessed portion 22 is located on the left side in the figure. If the hook 50 continues to rise in this state,
The inclined surface 6a of the side plate 6 collides with the inclined surface of the cam 58, causing the cam 58 to move in the counterclockwise rotating direction about the shaft 56 in FIG. At this point, the motor 44 is stopped by a signal from the limit switch 150. A large number of other hook units previously arranged in the case 42 are pushed up by the rise of the hook unit 2, and the whole rises by one hook unit. Next, the motor 44 is connected to the limit switch 152.
(15) is driven in the opposite direction until it turns ON, and the hook 50 returns to its original lowered position.

Since the present invention is configured as described above, it is possible to store a large number of hook units, and moreover, it is possible to automatically take out one hook unit at a time when necessary. This has the effect of improving the functionality of the storage device.
