An apparatus for parking vehicles, comprising:
- at least one platform which can be moved by a movement device and which has a parking surface,
- at least one movement drive which is part of the movement device,
- and at least one traction means being a chain or a cable which is part of the movement device,
- wherein the traction means connects an anchor location to the movement drive,
- wherein the movement drive is configured as a linear drive which comprises a fixed base portion and a connection element which can be moved in a linear manner relative thereto,
- wherein a movement direction of the connection element is substantially horizontal,
- wherein there is provided laterally on the platform a respective synchronization traction element which extends with a first portion in a first region of the platform over a central second portion, which extends on the platform to a third portion to a second region of the platform opposite the first region and which is fixed with one end thereof in the first region and with the other end thereof in the second region, and
- wherein each synchronization traction element is guided at least by a roller on the platform.
An apparatus for parking vehicles, comprising:
- at least one platform which can be moved by a movement device and which has a parking surface,
- two movement drives which are part of the movement device, and
- two chains which are part of the movement device,
- wherein the chains each connect a respective anchor location to one of the two movement drives,
- wherein the movement drives are each configured as a linear drive which comprises a fixed base portion and a connection element which can be moved in a linear manner relative thereto,
- wherein a movement direction of each connection element is substantially horizontal,
- wherein the movement drives are each connected to the platform at the fixed base portion thereof and the movement drives each move together with the platform in a vertical direction,
- wherein two side portions are provided on the platform adjacent to the parking surface and the movement drives are each secured to one of the two side portions,
- wherein the anchor locations are each arranged in a fixed manner above the platform and are identical to or connected to a location on a building or a fixed frame,
- wherein the apparatus comprises two redirection locations for redirecting the chains,
- wherein the chains each connect one of the anchor locations to one of the movement drives via one of the redirection locations which each change the direction of the respective chain,
- and
- wherein the chains each extend substantially vertically between the respective redirection location and anchor location.
