Definitions

  • the shelter is comprised of: a reinforced walled subsurface enclosure having a plurality of fixed columns to support a roof located such that an airplane can be lowered between the columns; a roof supported by a plurality of telescoping supports about its periphery such that the roof can be raised to a level higher than an airplane when the airplane is at ground level and lowered to be flush with the ground thus closing the subsurface enclosure and being supported by the fixed columns; and a floor suspended from the roof whereon an airplane can be placed, said floor having holes therein over the fixed columns such that when the roof is raised, the floor and airplane will be at ground level with the tops of the fixed cloumns being below'the floor, and when the roof is lowered, the fixed columns will pass through the holes in the floor as the floor descends passing alongside the airplane to support the roof in its fully lowered position.
  • the shelter for airplanes disclosed being further provided with sealable ducts for the intake of air and outlet of exhaust fumes so that the engine of the airplane contained therein may be started when the shelter is
  • a flat roof on the other hand, needs numerous supports or columns to resist the energy impact. With standard aircraft, there is insufficient room between columns to more the aircraft. In one typical prior art teaching this problem is solved by having the columns hydraulically retractable. Not only is this a more complex structure than desirable, but it must be open on one side for the airplane to pass in or out with the opening closable with blast-proof doors.
  • FIG. I is a partial cut-away drawing showing the presently disclosed airplane shelter in the raised position both above and below ground.
  • FIG. 2 is a cut-away front elevation of the present invention in the open or raised position.
  • FIG. 3 is a cut-away front elevation of the present invention in the closed or lowered position.
  • FIG. 4 is a top plan view of the present invention.
  • FIG. 5 is a cut-away side elevation of the present invention in the closed or lowered position.
  • FIG. 6 is a cut-away side elevation of the exhaust duct assembly of the present invention.
  • FIG. 7 is a top plan view of the exhaust duct assembly of the present invention.
  • the airplane shelter which is the subject of the present invention is shown in the open or raised position.
  • Airplane 10 sits on movable metal floor 12 at the level of the surrounding ground 14 from where it can be moved unhindered into or out of the shelter.
  • a movable roof 16 of steel and concrete is supported above the airplane It) by hydraulically movable columns 18.
  • the movable floor 12 is hung by floor hanging columns 20 from movable roof 16.
  • the movable floor I2 could be supported, lifted and lowered by hydraulic columns under the movable floor 12, and the movable roof 16 could be supported above the movable floor 12 by support columns replacing the floor hanging columns 20 designed for the compression load of the movable roof 16 rather than the tensile load of the movable floor 12 and airplane 10.
  • hydraulically movable columns 18 are housed in actuators 21 contained within the reinforced concrete walls 22 of underground enclosure 24 having fixed floor 26 and reinforced concrete fixed roof support columns 28 and drainage means 30. Roof support columns 28 are topped with guided movable plates 31 which move up with movable floor 12 filling the holes 32 therein.
  • FIG. 3 the embodiment shown open in FIG. 2 is now shown in the closed or lowered position.
  • Hydraulically movable columns 18 of FIG. 1 have moved into hydraulic actuators 21 contained in walls 22.
  • Movable roof 16 is supported by walls 22 and fixed roof support columns 28.
  • the location of the air plane 10 in relation to support columns 28 is best understood by reference to FIG. 4 which is a top view of the present invention.
  • the location of support columns 28 in a particular airplane shelter is a function of the shape of the airplane 10 to be housed therein.
  • the support columns 28 must be located to pass through corresponding holes 32 in movable floor I2 and alongside the structures of airplane l0.
  • FIG. 5 shows the location and basic structure of the floor locks 33 as well as the air intake duct assembly 34 and exhaust duct assembly 36.
  • the air intake duct assembly 34 comprises a closable intake port 38 and an intake pipe 40 leading as close as possible to the engine intake (not shown) or airplane 10.
  • Exhaust duct assembly 36 is shown in greater detail in FIG. 6 and FIG. 7.
  • Extendable connecting pipes 42 are provided to connect the exhaust pipes of airplane 10 to exhaust duct 44.
  • Exhaust duct 44 leads to the outside at ground level where it terminates in exhaust port 46 which can be opened or closed by exhaust port stopper 48 through exhaust port stopper actuator 50.
  • Closable intake port 38 would be constructed in the same manner as the closable port of exhaust duct assembly 36 just described.
  • floor lock 33 is shown as comprising a locking pin 52 and a lock actuator 54.
  • locking pin 52 In the raised position locking pin 52 is extended and engages floor l2 locking it in position.
  • control circuitry (not shown) will cause the lock actuator 54 to retract the locking pin 52 from engagement with floor 12 prior to lowering floor 12.
  • a shelter for an airplane comprising:
  • a substantially vertical wall disposed about the perimeter of said fixed floor, said wall defining an enclosure wherein the airplane can be placed without any member of the airplane extending above the top of said wall;
  • a movable roof so shaped as to be supportable about its periphery by the top of said substantially vertical wall and additionally supportable by the tops of said support columns when said movable roof is resting upon the top of said substantially vertical wall;
  • a shelter for an airplane comprising:
  • a substantially vertical wall disposed about the perimeter of said fixed floor, said wall defining an enclosure wherein the airplane can be placed without any member of the airplane extending above the top of said wall;
  • a movable roof so shaped as to be supportable about its periphery by the top of said substantially vertical wall and additionally supportable by the tops of said support columns when said movable roof is resting upon the top of said substantially vertical wall;
  • a movable floor above said fixed floor, below said movable roof, and within said enclosure said movable floor being located a sufficient distance below said movable roof to allow the airplane to be placed between said movable roof and said movable floor, said movable floor containing holes for passage therethrough of said fixed support columns as said movable floor is moved up and down, said movable floor being so shaped and movable that in one position the tops of said fixed support columns will be disposed sufficiently close to the surface of said movable floor to allow the airplane to be moved onto and off of said movable floor;
  • means for moving said movable roof and said movable floor up and down in combination said means for moving said movable roof and said movable floorup and down in combination being operably attached to lift and lower said movable roof, and, said movable floor being suspended from said movable roof by said means for connecting said movable roof to said movable floor.
  • said plurality of fixed support columns have movable plates attached to the top thereof, said movable plates being so shaped as to fill said holes in said movable floor for the passage therethrough of said fixed support columns when said movable floor is in said position to allow the airplane to be moved onto and off of said movable floor.
