Cl ..E04h 6/06 arranged one above the other, the lower platform being 58 Field of Search ..214 1 6.1 R, 16.1 E, 16.1 ED; rotatable about an axis located at h n remo fr m h en- 187/8.71 832 trance to the garage, and the upper platform being connected with the lower platform in such a manner that either platform can be selectively placed adjacent the entrance.
  • the present invention relates to a garage with two mobile platforms for motor vehicles arranged above each other.
  • the upper and the lower platform shall be accessible at any time by simple transposition of the platforms.
  • An essential object of the invention is to make the arrangement in such a manner that the horizontal space requirements of the garage are the same, or only slightly more, than the space required for parking a single vehicle.
  • a further object of the invention is to keep the height dimensions of the garage as small as possible. lnspite of this, the space available in the individual parking places shall be sufficient to park motor vehicles of practically any type on either of the two platforms.
  • the present invention proposes first of all a garage which is characterized by the fact that the lower platform is pivotable around an articulation at its end remote from the entrance to the garage and that the upper platform is coupled to the lower one and during the lifting movement thereof there is also a shifting movement directed away from the entrance.
  • the lower platform is thus essentially only lifted with its.end adjacent this entry if the platform is to be made accessible, or lowered if the upper platform is to be used.
  • the upper platform carries out, as compared to the lower platform, a more or less wide shifting movement. The accessibility of the lower platform is improved thereby, the necessary inclinations of the platforms are diminished and the complete space requirement of the double garage is reduced.
  • FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 show two operating positions of a garage according to the invention
  • FIG. 3 shows a modified embodiment
  • FIG. 4 to 8 show further variations of the invention.
  • the upper platform is designated with the reference number 1 and the lower platform with 2. Both platforms are carried by the base frame 3.
  • the rods 4 and 5 are provided in pairs outside of the space receiving the vehicle 6 on the lower platform 2.
  • the front rods 4 may be connected by a bracing tube 7 running parallel to the articulation points 8, 9, 10 and 1 l of the rods 4 and 5.
  • articulation and articulated preferably mean pivot" and pivoted". This bracing rod is provided in order to increase the stability of the complete arrangement.
  • a cylinder-piston combination 30 is provided, which is articulated at the articulation point 31 on the base frame 3 and the articulation point 32 of the rods 4. According to the admission of pressure medium to the cylinder piston group 30 the upper platform 1 can be shifted from the position shown in FIG. 1 in that according to FIG. 2 and vice-versa.
  • the lower platform 2 is articulated at 13 on the base frame 3 and connected by means of the connecting link 14 between the articulation points 15 and 16 with the rod 5.
  • the lower platform is thus moved simultaneously with the upper platform 1 but the path of movement of the lower platform 2 is different from the path of movement of the upper platform 1.
  • the garage is in the drive-in position for the upper platform 1.
  • the lower platform 2 can be used or the lower vehicle 6 can leave the garage.
  • the embodiment according to FIG. 3 is different from that according to FIG. 1 and 2 by the arrangement of the drive device.
  • the pivot arm 17 is carried rotatably at 18 and is supported e.g. by means of the element 19 on the base frame 3.
  • the pivot arm is arranged laterally of the lower platform 2 and preferably one pivot arm 17 is provided on each side of the platform 2.
  • the cylinder-piston combination 20 is arranged, into which pressure medium can be admitted by the driving arrangement 21, consisting of motor and pumps.
  • the driving arrangement 21 is situated in the central plane of the garage. In order to exclude a collision of the lower platform 2 with the driving arrangement 21 in the lowered position of the lower platform 2, this lower platform 2 has a recess or is subdivided in two driving tracks respectively.
  • the pivot arm 17 acts through the intermediate rod 22 on the lower platform 2 and the drive of the upper platform 1 takes place by means of the rods 14 and 5.
  • the upper platform 1 with the rigid double stays 24 and 25 is rotatable around the articulation 23 on the base frame 3.
  • the lower platform 2 moves around the articulation 13 at the front end.
  • the tilting arm 26 which is carried and driven in the same manner as the pivot arm 17 in the embodiment according to FIG. 3 is connected on its free extremity 27 with a rod 28 engaging the upper platform 1 and driving it.
  • the rod 29 represents the connection between the tilting arm 26 and the lower platform 2.
  • this upper platform 1 is supported similar to the embodiment according to FIG. 4 on the base frame 3 by means of the supports 34 and 35 rigidly connected with the platform at articulation 23.
  • the lower platform 2 is connected with the upper platform 1 by means of a tension member 38 while the lifting device 37 which may be similarly shaped to the cylinder and piston combination 20 and 30, engages on the upper platform 1.
  • the tension member 38 it is possible for lower platform 2 to remain in its lower-most position during part of the lowering movement of the upper platform 1.
  • the tension member 38 which has a telescope-type configuration is pushed together till the extremity at the side of the entrance of the upper platform 1 is in its drive-in position. Thereby sufficient space is left for the vehicle on the lower platform.
  • FIG. 6 is different, furthermore, from the embodiments described above by the fact that the upper platform 1 is supported by means of a supporting member 36 on the articulation 23 which is provided above the base frame and connects it with the latter by means of the support 40.
  • the two platforms are connected with each other by rigid support 33 and 41 to form a rigid structure.
  • This structure is moved by a cylinderpiston combination 42 and 43, sunk in the floor of the garage and fastened on the lower surface of the lower platform 2.
  • the embodiment according to FIG. 8 is finally characterized by the rigid supports 34 and 35 which cause similar to the embodiment according to FIG. 5 a supporting of the upper platform 1 in the common articulation 23 for both platforms.
  • a pivot arm 12 is provided, at the free extremity of which the cylinder-piston combination 20 is fastened.
  • the connection articulation of the cylinderpiston combination 20 and of the pivot arm 12 is designated as 44 and serves simultaneously as a fastening point for the intermediate rods 28 and 29.
  • the rod 28 connects the cylinderpiston combination 20 with the upper platform 1, while the rod 29 represents the connection with the lowerplatform 2.
  • a garage for parking motor vehicles in a minimum amount of space comprising an entrance; a stationary base frame including a substantially horizontal portion; said base frame having one end juxtaposed to said entrance and a spaced end remote from said entrance; two motor vehicle storage platforms arranged above each other and a pivotably movable about said base frame; means for pivotally moving said platforms about said base frame; each of said platforms having one end juxtaposed to said entrance and a spaced end remote from said entrance; pivot means pivotably securing said remote end of the lower platform to said remote end of said base frame; at least two rod means on each side of said platforms; the first of said rod means on each side of said platforms being positioned between said remote end of said upper platform and said spaced remote end of said base frame and the second of said rod means on each side of said platforms being spaced from said first rod means toward said entrance; each of said rod means having an upper end connected to the portion of the upper platform to which it is juxtaposed; each of said second rod means having a lower end connected to said one end of said base frame; a connection
  • each of said first rod means has a lower end connected to said remote end of said base frame.
  • said first rod means includes at least two rods having upper ends rigidly affixed to said upper platform at said remote end of said upper platform and having lower ends pivotably connected to said remote end of said base frame 6.
  • said first rod means is a telescopic lifting device pivotably connected to said upper platform, and said lower platform is suspended by means of said connection member which is a tension member which allows a further lowering of said upper platform after said lower platform is in its lowermost position.
