Definitions
- This patent application concerns a roto-translating trolley for garaging cars.
- This invention aims at better exploiting the space in a conventional rectangular garage whose length is greater than that of an average sized car, but not sufficient to hold two aligned cars.
- the invention in question originated from the observation that the width of a standard garage is generally greater than the length of the smaller and more economical cars so that theoretically two cars could be garaged, one (the shorter) positioned transversally, i.e. perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the garage and the second parallel to the axis.
- the idea is not practicable however since the space for manoeuvres in a garage certainly does not permit parking a car in an orthogonal direction to the garage entrance door.
- the trolley according to the invention was designed; said trolley not only translates along a track but also rotates around a vertical axis so that the car on the trolley may be rotated and moved along the above track. /10400 PC17IT96/00172
- the trolley according to the invention it is possible to park two cars in the same garage, one positioned transversally and abutting against the bottom wall of the garage and the second positioned with the front of the car against the side of the first car.
- the first car is driven into the garage and parked over the trolley; the driver then gets out of the car, turns the trolley 90° and pushes it to the back of the garage so as to place the first car against the back wall of the garage and leaving enough space to garage a second car perpendicular to the first.
- the trolley according to the invention consists of a centre roto- translating platform to which two bridge runners are fixed on the side, the same being equipped with spherical wheels resting on the floor which allow the same to perform without resistance the rotation or translation movement of the centre platform.
- Said platform rotates freely around a vertical pin projecting from an element sliding along a track, and which is fixed to the garage floor at the longitudinal axis of symmetry of the latter.
- a box intersected by the pivoting pin of the platform is mounted above the sliding element; said box houses the mechanical components which ensure translation of the platform only when the same is in a perfectly orthogonal position with respect to the runner of the sliding element.
- the box also houses mechanical means to stop to platform during its translation as well as mechanical means to ensure an end of stroke stop after each 90° rotation of the platform which is followed by translation of the platform. All the mechanisms housed in the above box aim at facilitating and optimising the manoeuvres of the trolley according to the invention in its embodiment whereby the trolley is operated manually in the sense that the person parking the cars in the garage moves the trolley by hand.
- Fig. 1 is an axonometric representation of the trolley according to the invention.
- Fig. 2 is a cross-section of fig. 1 with transverse plane II-II.
- Fig. 3 is an axonometric representation of the trolley with an exploded view of all the construction components of the trolley according to the invention.
- the trolley in question includes a centre platform (17) which laterally supports two bridge runners (18) equipped with end ramps (18a), which are able to slide on the floor by means of spherical wheels not shown in the enclosed drawings.
- Said platform (17) rotates about a pivoting pin (15a) projecting from an element (2) which slides along track (1) fixed solidly to the floor.
- Said track (1) has a centre sliding track housing element (2) which features a thinner middle section designed to form a lowered housing (2a) that houses an overlying pair of identical ratchet gears (4) each of which has a centre slot (4a) and an end hole (4b) at which they are pivoted to the same pin (5) fixed to element (2).
- Said ratchet gears (4) being fitted with an external tooth (4c) at the end opposite to hole (4b) which is designed to hook the head of two lists (3) fitted above the longitudinal edges of track (1).
- the element (2) being fitted with a straight slot (2b) intersected by pin (15a) which is one of a set of five pins shown as (15) in fig. 3; all the pins in this set (15) are fixed by means of nuts (19) on platform (17) which has five holes (17a) for this purpose.
- a circular box (7) is fitted above the element (2); the bottom (7a) of said circular box (7) being equipped with a centre hole (7b) for pin (15a).
- Said box (7) houses a link block track (10) shut by a circular plate (16) having five through holes for the set of pins (15). More precisely, the box (7) has an elongated window (7d) on its lid (7c) with perimeter step (7e) on which the circular plate (16) rests and slides.
- the plate of the link block (10) fixed to the interior of the box (7) consists of a disk having an annular groove (10a) and a set of three aligned diameter slots, of which the first (10b) is central, the second (10c) originates from groove (10a) and goes towards the centre and the third (10d) originates from groove (10a) but goes to the exterior.
- the circular plate (16) is connected to the overlying platform (17) by means of the above mentioned set (15) of five different length pins.
- the length of the centre pin (15a) is such to intersect the circular plate (16), the slot (10b) of the link block plate (10), the hole (7b) of the bottom (7a) of box (7), the slanted slots (4a) of the ratchet gears (4) and the rectilinear slot (2b) of element (2) as shown in fig. 2.
- the first opposing pair of pins (15c) intersect only platform (17) and the underlying circular plate (16) without extending into the box (7).
- the second opposing pair of pins (15b) - which are staggered by 90° with respect to the first pair of pins (15c) - extends into the interior of box (7) and terminates in the annular groove (10a) of the link block plate (10). The rotations of platform (17) are guided by these two pins
- One of these pins (15b) is in fact designed to be hooked - during its rotation in groove (10a) - by a ratchet (12) oscillating around a pin (11) and featuring an attachment (12a) projecting into the annular groove (10a) at a point in front of the diameter slot (10c).
- Said ratchet (12) is fitted on link block plate (10) and is subject to the action of a small return spring (13) which places it in rest position when the intercepted pin (15b) moves into the facing slot (10c) as soon as the translation stroke of the platform (17) starts and pulls the underlying circular plate (16) integrally with said platform.
- the return of ratchet (12) to its rest position stops the platform (17) from turning in contrary direction so that it is impossible to turn the platform (17) backwards after completing the 90° rotation required to turn the car parked on the bridge runners (18) in orthogonal direction with respect to the longitudinal axis of the garage.
- a pair of opposing parking blocks (8) is housed inside box (7), each of which consists of a jaw (8a) having a centre notch (8b) which is subjected to the thrust of two springs (9) positioned between each jaw and the wall of the box (7).
