US 2019/0218809 A1 · Special compact motorcycle storage compartment and structural device

Abstract

A special compact motorcycle storage compartment for use in various applications. It consists of an exterior structure and lockable door. When a motorcycle is inside, the enclosure prevents vandalism and theft. The structure is not large enough to accommodate a person with the motorcycle. To move a motorcycle into the structure, the combination of a track system and wheel chock is used to keep the motorcycle in an upright position while moving it directly in and out of the structure. An extended handle and the wheel chock is mounted to a supporting platform. The platform is attached to two tracks which allows for movement of the platform in only two directions. The motorcyclist can push or pull on the handle to move the motorcycle into or out of the structure. Once the motorcycle is inside, the front door may be closed and locked, thus securing the motorcycle.
