In recent years, the rapid development of motor trafiic everywhere on the highways, roads and streets, is the chief cause of the present. unsatisfactory state of the street trafiic in general; andcivic authorities have the diflicult problem of how to handle, garage or store the large and ever increasmg number of motor cars, that nowadays encumber the roadways; that are a nuisance in themselves, a menace to other motor trafiic, and often a danger to the general public; to provide reasonable garage accommodation in crowded areas.
The present invention relates to an improved s stem and building, to garage-in congeste areas-the maximum number of motor cars inthe minimum space, at a minimum cost as regards to site, erection and type of building; and to provide a system whereby motor cars can be quickly stored in a garage and quickly taken out of same, the operation being conducted without a possibility of damaging any car within a garage, and in the minimum of time. By the arran ement, there is attained a simple and spec y method of handling motor cars within a garage, and ninet -six motor cars can be garaged within a fi y foot cube.
A garage constructed according to this inao vention, consists of a multi-storey metal building; in construction, it is built substantially of metal columns, having H-section gallery floor beams, on which, angle bar, channel bar and T bar intermediate rails support a checkered plate floor, the walls and roof are covered with plain or corrugated sheets.
On each side of the garage, in parallel,
a number of storeys are arranged in tiers,
one over the other; the storeys are divided into rectangular stalls sufliciently large to accommodate a motor car; through the centre of the garage, and between the two parallel rows of rectangular stalls, a middle corridor is arranged and formed in position; within the middle corridor, a movable traversing hoist is fitted, to operate on rails, whose platform is fitted with a rotary turntable.
The traversing hoist, consists of a shallow,
square travelling carriage, movable on rails provided on the ground at each side of the middle corridor, and fitted with a vertically movable hoist; the hoist platform is made of sufficient dimension to accommodate a "rotary turntable, by means of which, motor cars can be turned at ri ht angles to the middle corridor, and at right angles to the two parallel rows of rectangular stalls; the travelling carriagle is open at the bottom, thus ermitting t e cage of the hoist-when in t e lowest position-to rest on the ground; the hoist cage is open through at the ends and sides, the ends, leading into the parallel rows of rectangular stalls, arranged and erected on each side of the middle corridor, and the sides, leading into the middle corridor; to each side of the travelling carria e, a short runway is fitted.
he garage will thus be rectangular in plan, having, arranged in parallel, two rows of multi-storey rectangular stalls formed at right angles to, and erected on each side of a middle corridor; the said corridor is arranged and placed in position through 'the,
centre of the garage building, within which, a movable traversing hoist, fitted with a rotary turntable, is placed to operate and move on rails. All being arranged and cornbined, erected and contained under one roo One construction of a garage building according to the present invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing in which Figure 1 shows, in outline, a plan of a garage, with a traversin hoist mounted on rails between two rows 0 rectangular stalls, arranged in parallel; the hoist platform is fitted with a rotary turntable, and the traversing carriage, with four inclined runways.
Fi ure 2 is a vertical section of the same, showlng detail of the buildin construction and the traversing hoist posltioned in the middle corridor.
In the construction shown in Figures 1 and 2, 1 is the garage building here divided into two multi-storey rows of rectangular stalls 2, each stall having an entrance into the middle corridor 3, which is arranged and formed through the centre of the building; the rails 4, sunk level with the garage floor, are provided for the traversingcarriage 5, 6 is the vertical hoist, 7 the four inclined runways fitted to the traversing carriage, 8 .is the hoist platform, to which a rotary turntable 9, is fitted, 10 Is the hoist ca e.
ii the detail construction shown in Figure 2, A is the upright vertical columns,
5 which carry the gallery beams B; angle bars C, channel bars D, and T-bars E, constitute the intermediate rails which support the floor plates F, on the gallery beams B; the wall sheets G, are fixed to the angle bars C, at end of the stalls. The vertical columns are set somewhat back in the middle corridor, to clear the runways 7, of the travelling carriage 5; the gallery floors F, are extended out into the middle corridor 3, to meet the vertical hoist 6, and the over-. han
of the gallery floors F, are supported by t e angle rackets H.
In th construction shown in Figures 1 and 2, a motor-car on entering the middle corridor of the arage, is drivenup the inclined runway across the vertical hoist platform 8, on to the rotary turntable. 9. With a concurrent movement the car is turned at right-angles to the middle corridor 3 lifted vertically by the hoist 6, and moved in a horizontal direction by the travelling carriage 5, in parallel with, and
within the middle corridor 3, until the car arrives directl opposite to its stall; the car is then move therein. Similarly when a car is required, the traversing hoist 6, is brought opposite to the stall containing the car, the car is moved on to the rotary turntable 9, of the hoist 6, when, with a concurrent movement the car is turned at right hoist. Motor cars are thus'garaged in a multi-storey building, having a middle corridor formed through the centre of the building, flanked on each side by rows of stalls in tiers, which are systematically.
served from, and by, the alternate ends of a traversing hoist cage 10.
