Abstract

Abstract The garage comprises at least two tilting platforms, each capable of accommodating at least two vehicles end-to-end superposed in spaced relation and linked for tilting in unison to place one end of one platform and the other end of the other platform in communication with fixed run-in and run-off areas of the garage, in one tilted position, and vice versa in the other tilted position. Provision is also made for raising and lowering the interlinked platform structure where there are more than two platforms in a stack.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim 222 words
A garage for storing a multiplicity of vehicles in superimposed condition, said garage comprising an assembly of platforms disposed one above another, means rigidly interconnecting said platforms together so that no articulated movement between said platforms occurs, a common tilt shaft, means supporting said platform assembly about said common tilt shaft so that said assembly, as a whole, is tiltably mounted, means for tilting said means operatively connected to said common tilt shaft and said platform assembly for adjusting the heightwise position of said common shaft and said assembly along a substantially rectilinear path, said platform assembly being adapted to be placed in communication with a common approach area of said garage, each platform being of a length sufficient at least for the accommodation of two vehicles on the platform, a substantially horizontally approach area provided at each of the two ends of said platform assembly, each of said approach areas being located at a substantially common level, said tiltable mounting of said platform assembly being such that in one tilted condition of the platform assembly, an upper platform registers with one approach area and a lower platform registers with the other approach area, while in the other tilted condition of the assembly, the lower platform registers with said one approach area and an upper platform registers with said other approach area.
