Abstract
A modular garage structure is disclosed which provides an easily transportable, tamper proof housing for vehicles. Two housing enclosures are telescopically movable along a track to permit the garage to be longitudinally opened and closed.
Claims2
A garage for a vehicle having a front end and a rear end comprising:
- a two piece contoured structure having a first stationary enclosure member and a second movable enclosure member;
- said first stationary enclosure member having a top and two longitudinal contoured sidewalls and a transverse contoured end wall adjoining said sidewalls, said first member being open at one transverse end and cross-sectionally and longitudinally dimensioned to receive the front of the vehicle;
- said second contoured enclosure member having a top and two longitudinal sidewalls being open at both transverse ends, and having a slightly larger cross-sectional dimension than said first member;
- a U-shaped base plate having two longitudinal extensions projecting along the sidewalls and beyond the open transverse end of said first member to serve as a frame work for transporting the garage from location to location and further having means for anchoring the base plate to the ground in a fixed location;
- track members carried by the extensions of said base plate and slide members connected to said second member and mounted on said track members slidably connecting the second member to the first member so that an operator can manually slide the second member from a retracted position in which the first and second enclosure members are substantially overlapping to permit ingress and egress of the vehicle, to an extended position in which the second member is adjacent to the first member thereby completely enclosing the vehicle;
- and
- a door adjoining the longitudinal sides of the second enclosure member which can be opened to admit the vehicle when said enclosure members are retracted and closed with the members in the extended position.
