806,866. Mechanical garages. ALIMANESTIANO, M. July 5, 1957, No. 21433/57. Class 78 (4). A trolley for moving vehicles in a mechanical garage has an upper chassis 80 (Fig. 5) which can be raised and lowered relatively to the lower wheeled chassis 70 and carries tines 66 (see also Fig. 3) which can be projected at opposite sides of the trolley to support the wheels of a vehicle. In the construction illustrated the upper chassis 80 is supported by jacks 81 and has two pairs of tines adapted to project into slots 64, 64a (Fig. 3) in platforms 63, 65 defining wells 60, 61 in the storage spaces and in the cage of a lift. The wheels 67 of the trolley are guided by shoulders 69a in the wells and the trolley is driven by a motor 74 (Fig. 5) controlled by suitable switches and limit switches. The tines 66 are projected by a pinion 92 (Fig. 9) engaging racks 93, 94 and driven by an electric motor 90 (Fig. 5). In an alternative construction (Figs. 14 to 17, not shown) the sets of tines 66 on opposite sides of the trolley are staggered so that when they are retracted they intermesh, so permitting the tines to extend for the full breadth of the trolley. The frames carrying the tines may be driven by connections to opposite runs of an endless chain extending transversely across the trolley. The shaft 40 (Fig. 1) of the lift cage is shown mounted on wheels 42 so that it may be driven along a series of vertical columns of stalls which may be arranged singly, as shown to the left of Fig. 1, or in pairs as shown to the right. Where entry and exit to the garage are from the same direction the lift cage may include a turntable. The platform 65 (Fig. 3) at the sides of the lift cage may be omitted and the vehicles carried on the trolley while in the lift cage. |
