Car parking facility with directional control employs roller pairs let into turntable and accessible by driving wheels using roller shaft to engage turntable swivel gear with rollers arrested when leaving turntable.

摘要

Two or more rotary pairs of rollers are let into the access ramp (41) turntable (39) so a vehicle can drive directly onto the particular roller pair and, when departing in whatever direction, the drive wheel between the pair rollers can reach a roller pair in whatever direction. When on the turntable, the drive wheels lie in a trough between the pair rollers. The pair shaft engages a gear below or alongside the turntable (39) or again is connected to a hydraulic pump or compressor with the result that gear, pump or compressor powers the turntable drive and arrests the rollers when leaving the platform. Four parallel sets of rollers (2,3) are let into the turntable (39) and when used for split level parking areas, an additional hoist drive is provided. The turntable can ride horizontally in guides let into the road or street and is used in narrow alleys in front of house entry or exit driveways etc.
