Definitions

  • low gradient inclined ramps are used, which ramps tend to be of substantial width and to occupy considerable ground area.
  • Such ramps are used for access to parking areas or the interior of garages and access ways to urban road or highways.
  • an elevating apparatus for motor vehicles comprising at least one substantially horizontal platform supported by a cradle displaceable along inclined or vertical rails, rollers adjacent each end of the platform to be driven by the vehicle engine with each roller connected by a power transmission mechanism to means for entraining the cradle and consequently the platform and vehicle along the guide rails such that, when the vehicle is driven onto the platfon'n, the torque of the engine of this vehicle transmitted by the driving wheels of the latter to the corresponding driven rollers, ensures, at least in part, the displacement of the cradle, platform and vehicle assembly along the guide rails.
  • the elevating apparatus comprises two cradle/platform assemblies which are displaceable at different levels between parallel guide rails and which are connected by a movement transmitting means and counterbalancing weight means, so that, at the end of its descent, the lower assembly is at substantially the same level as the upper assembly is at the end of its ascent whereby the vehicle can transfer from one platform to the other.
  • the superpositioning and/or the combination of several such assemblies makes it possible to reduce the time taken using each of them while decreasing their unit journey and, consequently, makes it possible to multiply the output of the assembly.
  • each driven roller is associated with a parallel free-running roller which, prevents a vehicle driving wheel from traversing the power driven roller and ensures the positioning of the vehicle wheel against the driven roller.
  • the platform in order to prevent a vehicle which is thrown forwards from traversing the driven roller and in order to have only a single power transmission system for the intake of power at each end of the platform whatever size of wheelbase, the diameter of the vehicle wheels and the traction system of the vehicle (front or rear) the platform is loosely mounted on its cradle so that it can tilt as a whole relative to the horizontal.
  • the resulting inclination under the wheels of the vehicle allows the vehicle to stop horizontally as it is driven forwards on to the platfonn and then provide its entire driving force during bodily movement of the cradle.
  • a system for shock absorbing and for the recovery of the movement transmitting energy of the vehicle makes it possible to absorb the shocks of the movements.
  • the platform rests on its cradle through the intermediary of two sets of rollers one of which is connected to the movement transmitting system of the cradle and supported on ramp/cams tending to alter the attitude of the platform if the latter moves during bodily movement on its cradle and thus independently of the proper movement of the cradle during the same time.
  • the means for entraining the cradle during movement is constituted at each side of the cradle, on the one hand, by a drive pulley driven by the terminal gear wheel of a gear power transmission of the platform, and on the other hand, by one of the two pulley wheels supporting the cradle on its guide rail, the lower pulley constituting, with the aforesaid drive pulley, a winch around which there passes a traction rope and the distance between which pulleys changes depending on the position of the rollers of the platform on the ramp/cams of the cradle.
  • the platform is rigidly integral with two front sidearrns which give the assembly a T-shape and which maintain the upper wheels with which they are provided, applied against the rear sides of the guide rail roller track and has two rear pivoted sidearms, each having at their free end, a drive wheel applied to the front side of the corresponding roller track, above the pivot point of the arm, a mechanism being provided to connect the wheels of the pivoted arms to the captor rollers of the front and rear of the platform which drive them.
  • the inclination of the platform adapts itself automatically to the variations of torque.
  • each captive or receiving roller is arranged between two idler rollers which are arranged to be offset varying with the inclination of the platform, relative to the upper level of the captive roller.
  • the object of this arrangement is to maintain in abutment with the captive roller, the driving wheels of the vehicle whatever its weight, its engine power, the distribution of loads between its axles, and the accelerations likely to appear. It is preferably to mount the front idler roller of the rear captive roller set on retractable crank pins controlled by the passage of the front wheels of the vehicle over a pedal, which returns to its initial position during the passage of the rear wheels, thus to facilitate entry and departure of vehicles on the platform without giving rise to jolts or shocks.
  • a system for recovering the power which stores up the kinetic energy of the vehicles during their arrival on the platform, in order to restore it at the time it leaves.
  • Such a system for recovering energy may be branched off the lateral swingable arms in such a manner as to allow the platform to rise and more forwards as a vehicle arrives, the excess energy being stored, either by geometrical mounting of the platform or by the compression of springs, or by a variation in the length of a counterbalancing rope if a system of compensation by counterweights is used. This excess energy is restored by a backwards movement of the plat form and of the vehicle which it supports.
  • the adherence of the driving wheels on the front sides of the roller track can be obtained by various means.
  • these wheels may be toothed and may cooperate with racks on the roller track; on the other hand, they may be constituted by pulleys on which there is wound an elevating rope, or even by wheels with adhering tires.
  • the inclination effect of the platform is obtained by oscillating the only set of captive rollers relative to the platform.
  • the assembly of roller tracks can constitute a gantry swingable about a vertical pivot.
  • two conical rollers orientated coaxially opposite each other above the ends of two captive rollers and between the latter, each of the conical rollers being connected by a transmission to a pinion of the gantry which engages on a fixed, common pinion, coaxial with the vertical pivot of the gantry.

  • FIGS. 1 and 2 There are shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 two possible uses of the elevating apparatus according to the invention.
  • this apparatus comprises a platform 1, slightly inclined to the horizontal, which can move along an inclined track 2. By means of successive stages, it can be seen that such an elevating apparatus allows motor vehicles 3 to ascend high-gradient slopes.
  • the elevation of a motor vehicle 3 allows it to move from one level or story to another, for example inside a garage or a car park. In this case there are used vertical tracks 2.
  • FIGS. I to 5 there is shown in detail a first embodiment of the invention.
  • the elevating apparatus comprises a platform 1 supported by the arms 3 and 4 of a cradle which can move along two vertical guide rails constituting the track 2.
  • the platform 1 has at its upper part two runways 5 for the guidance and the entrainment of the vehicle wheels. Near each end, each runway 5 has two apertures 6 which enable the wheels of a vehicle to engage two captive rollers, namely a power receiving roller 7 and a positioning roller 8.
  • Each captive roller 7 is keyed on a shaft 9, which drives through the intermediary of a pulley, a trapezoidal belt 10. These two belts 10 (FIG. 4) drive a common shaft 11, the
  • Each of the shafts 13 projects laterally from the platform I and supports a guide roller 14 which rests on a cam-shaped ramp 15 provided on the horizontal extension of each of the arms 3 and 4 of the cradle.
  • Each side arm 3 and 4 comprises a substantially vertical part, the bottom of which mounts a shah 16, while its upper part mounts a shaft 17.
  • a double pulley 18 rotates on the shaft 16.
  • a pulley 19 rotates on the upper shaft 17.
  • Each pulley l8 and 19 has a rolling rim which rests respectively on the rear and front side of the vertical track 2.
  • the end of the shaft 16 is provided on each sid with a roller 20 on which can roll the platform 1.
  • each arm 3, 4 of the cradle there is attached a rope 21 which, after passing over a return pulley (not shown) provided at the top of each of the rails 2, passes over the return pulleys l9 and 18, makes several turns about the drive pulley 12 and passes back over the return pulley 18. Then the rope is guided downwardly towards a device (not shown) which regulates its tension at the foot of the guide rails of the track 2.
  • the driver at the wheel of his vehicle 3 drives the latter onto the platform 1 which is substantially horizontal.
  • the driving wheels 22 of the vehicle come into contact with one of the pairs of receiving rollers 7, the movement of this vehicle in relation to the platform 1 is arrested and the rollers 7 are rotated in the direction of the arrow 23 (FIG. 4).
  • This movement continues as long as the driver does not disengage his gears, and it is communicated through the intermediary of the transmission belt 10 and shaft 11, to the driving pulley 12.
  • the latter rotates in the direction of the arrow 24.
  • the rope 21 is thus pulled in the direction of the arrow 25 and the platform cradle and vehicle assembly is lifted vertically in the direction of arrow 26 (FIG. 5) being guided by the rail track 2.
  • the platform In order to prevent a vehicle which is thrown forwards from traversing the captive rollers 7, the platform is mounted on its cradle so that it can tilt as a whole relative to the horizontal.
  • This tilting provides an inclination efi'ect under the wheels of the vehicle so effectively that the car is arrested horizontally during its forwards movement, while all the power of the engine is supplied to the captive rollers 7.
  • a variation of the inclination of the platform 1 on its cradle is obtained by the relative movement of the rollers 14 on their cam-shaped ramps 15. This movement is caused by the pulleys l2 and 18 approaching one another under the action of the forces of inertia and/or the tension in the rope 21.
  • An enclosing and retaining safety frame 35 adapted to lie along each side and the front or rear of the vehicle is pivoted at 36 on the upright arms of the cradles 3 and 4.
  • the frame 35 is provided with formations to engage the vehicle from or rear bumper bar.
  • a ram 37 is connected to each cradle 3 and 4 at 39 and to a transverse formation 38 on the platform 1 to permit variation of the relative attitudes.
  • FIGS. 6 to 9 There is shown in FIGS. 6 to 9 a modified construction in which the platform is produced in one piece with the cradle arms.
  • the elevating apparatus shown in FIGS. 6 to 9 is mainly characterized in that it comprises a platform 101 integral with two front sidearrns 102 which gives the assembly an inverted T-shape (FIG. 6).
  • This structure is in welded sheet iron.
  • the platform 1 is preferably manufactured from folded sheet iron, in such a manner as to define two strengthening frames 1113 which extend along each side for its entire length.
  • transverse couplings 1115 themselves cut out in the sheets. These couplings are thus arranged in vertical planes parallel to those of the frames 1113.
  • the structure obtained is capable of sustaining the torsional stresses which may appear between the two side members 1113 due to the variations of the positioning and of the distribution of load from one vehicle to the next.

  • the aperture 1116 slightly below the upper side of the platform 1111, there is housed a captive roller 1118 and two idler rollers 1119 and 1111, one at each side of the roller 103.
  • a captive roller 111 located between two idler rollers 112 and 113.
  • Continuous ropes, chains or belts 114 and 115 connect pulleys or pinions 116 and 117 keyed on the shafts 118 and 159 of the captive rollers 111 and 1118 respectively on each side of the platform 1111 to two pulleys or pinions 119, the shafts 1211 of which are in alignment above each of the side members 1113 (FIG. 6 and 7).

  • each arm 123 has a forwardly projecting flange 132.
  • This flange is connected to the adjacent side member 1113 by a suspension member 133 which incorporates a dashpot and compression spring. Consequently, under the sole action of this spring the arm 123 tends to swing in the direction of arrow 134 (FIG. 6).
  • this platform is suspended on two lateral ropes 311.
  • these ropes 33 are connected to counterweights (not shown) which may be constituted by the assembly of another platform which would descent when the latter ascend, and vice versa.
  • the anchorage of the rope 38 on the platform 1111 takes place in the following manner:
  • each arm 123 tends to rock in the direction of the arrow 134 under the joint action of the spring of the suspension member 133 and of the traction of the rope 133 due to the weight of the platform and vehicle.
  • the platform 101 is completed by a safety barrier 142 which can be raised automatically when there is a stoppage by rotation about a pivot 143 (FIG. 6).
  • the platform 1111 Under its own weight, the platform 1111 remains suspended in the manner shown in FIG. 6.-Tlre upper wheels 1311 rest against the rear side 131 of the tracks 129, and the lower drive wheels 135 are meshed with the rack 123 of the front side of the tracks 129. Balance is established between the orientation of the arm 123, and the opposing forces developed by the rope 311 and by the spring of the suspension member 133.
  • the upper wheels 1311 of the rigid arms 1112 rest against the rear side of the tracks 129 so that the platform 1111 assumes a more or less pronounced inclination by pivoting about the shaft of the wheels 1311, depending on the obliquity of the swinging arm 123. With permanent conditions this obliquity depends both on the weight of the platform and vehicle on the resilient characteristics of the return members 133 and on the power developed at the drive wheels 152 of the vehicle. The greater the power developed, the more the counterbalancing rope 138 tends to pull on the arm 123 in the direction of the arrow 134, which increases the inclination of the platform 1111. There is thus provided a system of stable equilibrium which prevents the vehicle 144 from advancing beyond the captor rollers 1118 and 1 1 1.
