Cargo Storage Device

Abstract

A cargo storage device, comprising lift parts ( 4 ) and ( 4 ′) for raising in which a plurality of load carrying horizontal frames ( 6, . . . ) and ( 6′, . . . ) are disposed at roughly equal intervals, a lift part ( 5 ) for lowering formed adjacent to and parallel with the lift parts for raising, and upright columnar support members ( 7 ) and ( 7 ′) horizontally swingably supporting the horizontal frames ( 6, . . . ) and ( 6′, . . . ) between these lift parts which are stored in a vertically installed housing ( 1 ). The support members ( 7 ) and ( 7 ′) comprise movable parts formed by stacking, independently of each other, a plurality of cylindrical units swingable by 180° horizontally and fixed parts having support shaft bodies supporting the cylindrical units and forming a rotating axis for swinging the support members horizontally. The horizontal frames ( 6, . . . ) and ( 6′, . . . ) are mounted on the movable parts through curved installation members to reduce a load between the load carrying horizontal frames and the support members so as to eliminate the possibility of trouble.

1 . A cargo housing unit characterized in that, in a cargo housing unit comprising, within an upright housing, a lift part for raising having a plurality of cargo-mounting horizontal base stands disposed at approximately uniform distances, a lift part for lowering adjacent thereto keeping parallelism therewith and upright columnar supporting members which support the aforementioned horizontal base stands in a horizontally rotatable fashion between the said two parts, the aforementioned supporting members are formed of a mobile part consisting of a plurality of cylindrical units stacked each independently from the others in a rotatable fashion by 180 degrees within a horizontal plane and a stationary part consisting of a supporting axial body which supports each of 
 the cylindrical units and serves as the axis of rotation when the same is under rotation within a horizontal plane, the aforementioned horizontal base stand being connected to the said mobile part with intervention of a connection member having a curved surface.    
   
   
       2 . The cargo housing unit described in  claim 1  wherein the mobile part is supported by a stopper and a flange-formed plate fixed to the supporting axial body of the stationary part.  
   
   
       3 . The cargo housing unit described in  claim 1  which is provided with the mechanism for causing falling of the cargo-mounting horizontal base stand from the lift part for lowering by the tare weight and with the mechanism for buffering the falling velocity thereof by utilizing the kinetic energy of falling thereof.  
   
   
       4 . The cargo housing unit described in  claim 1  which is a parking tower of automobiles.
