Abstract
A multi-floor elevating parking station constructed of a stable frame set under ground and containing a parking frame which is divided horizontally into a plurality of parking rooms or floors with steel plates. The parking frame can be raised up and down to make each floor or each parking room even with the ground surface so that a car can be parked in or driven out. Besides, the top steel plate of the parking frame can be used as a drive-way when the parking frame is lowered down to the bottom of the stable frame.
Claims7
A multi-floor elevating parking station comprising:
- a parking frame and a stable frame, (a) said parking frame and said stable frame both being made of steel posts and steel beams connected between two of said posts, (b) said stable frame being located beneath a ground surface and containing said parking frame therein, and (c) said parking frame including steel floor plates which divide said parking frame horizontally into a plurality of parking rooms;
- two motor means provided at a top of said stable frame which are operatively connected to wire ropes fixed to a bottom of said parking frame for raising up and down said parking frame in said stable frame so that each floor plate is selectively movable to a position even with the ground surface for parking in and driving out of a car relative to the selected floor plate;
- and
- pulley sets provided on said stable frame for guiding the movement of said parking frame, each said pulley set including
- (a) a cover having a vertical wall with a hole therein, said vertical wall disposed relative to said parking frame to have a facing side and a non-facing side,
- (b) a T-shaped bolt having a leg which projects horizontally through the hole in said vertical wall of said cover and a cross member which is located on the facing side of said vertical wall of said cover and which is vertically disposed,
- (c) a nut which is received on a free end of said leg of said T-shaped bolt and which is located adjacent said non-facing side of said vertical wall of said cover,
- (d) two levers having proximal and distal ends, respective said proximal ends of said levers being attached to a respective end of said cross member of said T-shaped bolt such that said levers extend vertically and in opposite directions,
- (e) a respective pivot means provided intermediate the ends of each said lever such that horizontal movement of said leg of said T-shaped bolt causes said distal ends of said levers to move, and
- (f) a respective pulley located at each distal end of said levers which engages said parking frame, the engagement of said pulleys being adjusted by rotation of said nut on said leg of said T-shaped bolt.

- two motor means provided at a top of said stable frame which are operatively connected to wire ropes fixed to a bottom of said parking frame for raising up and down said parking frame in said stable frame so that each floor plate is selectively movable to a position even with the ground surface for parking in and driving out of a car relative to the selected floor plate;
- and
- respective anti-slidding means for each said steel plate for stopping a car wheel of a car located on an associated steel plate, each said anti-slidding means including
- (a) a round cylinder attached to said steel plate, said cylinder having a longitudinal axis which is vertical and an upper circumferential edge in which notches are provided,
- (b) a turning wheel provided in said cylinder adjacent said upper edge, said turning wheel including a handle which is movable from a vertical position for turning said turning wheel to a horizontal position where said handle is received in one of said notches,
- (c) a first gear wheel provided in said cylinder adjacent a lower edge thereof,
- (d) a stable disc mounted in said cylinder,
- (e) a shaft which is rotatably mounted by said stable disc along the longitudinal axis of said cylinder and which is attached to said turning wheel and said first gear wheel whereby rotation of said turning wheel by said handle causes rotation of said first gear wheel,
- (f) a second gear wheel which is mounted for rotation in a horizontal plane and for engagement with said first gear wheel, and
- (g) an anti-slidding bar attached at one end to said second gear wheel and extending horizontally therefrom such that by rotation of said turning wheel with said handle, said anti-slidding bar is movable between a position where said anti-slidding bar engages the wheel of the car and is locked against movement by positioning said handle in one of said notches and a position where said anti-slidding bar is out of engagement with the wheel.
