Parking arrangement for motor vehicles

Abstract

In a parking arrangement for motor vehicles, having at least one platform for receiving a motor vehicle that is mounted in a vertically displaceable manner on a guide and can be raised and lowered by means of a lifting device, having a stop for limiting the lowering movement of the platform and having a synchronizing device for generating a similar raising and lowering movement at opposite sides of the platform, in order to obtain a construction that is as simple as possible yet fully functional, it is proposed that the lifting device acts upon only one side of the platform and the stop is disposed only on the opposite side of the platform.

1 . A parking arrangement for motor vehicles, having at least one platform for receiving a motor vehicle that is mounted in a vertically displaceable manner on a guide can be raised and lowered by means of a lifting device, having a stop for limiting the lowering movement of the platform and having a synchronizing device for generating a similar raising and lowering movement at opposite sides of the platform, wherein the lifting device acts upon only one side of the platform and the stop is disposed only at the opposite side of the platform. 
   
   
       2 . A parking arrangement according to  claim 1 , wherein the synchronizing device comprises a rotatable torsion shaft, which extends from one side of the platform to the other and which on both sides of the platform by means of a respective gearwheel meshes with a stationary and vertically disposed gear rack or chain. 
   
   
       3 . A parking arrangement according to  claim 1 , wherein the lifting device is a hydraulically or pneumatically operating piston-cylinder unit. 
   
   
       4 . A parking arrangement according to  claim 1 , wherein the guide comprises two pillars, which are disposed at opposite sides of the platform and along which the platform is displaceable in a guided manner. 
   
   
       5 . A parking arrangement according to  claim 2 , wherein the guide comprises two pillars, which are disposed at opposite sides of the platform and along which the platform is displaceable in a guided manner. 
   
   
       6 . A parking arrangement according to  claim 4 , wherein the lifting device is disposed on one of the pillars. 
   
   
       7 . A parking arrangement according to  claim 4 , wherein the stop is disposed on one of the pillars. 
   
   
       8 . A parking arrangement according to  claim 1 , wherein the stop is adjustable. 
   
   
       9 . A parking arrangement according to  claim 8 , wherein the stop is height-adjustable in accordance with the respective position of the platform so that the platform at least in each rest position and preferably in every position rests on the stop. 
   
   
       10 . A parking arrangement according to  claim 5 , wherein the gear racks or chains of the synchronizing device are disposed on the two pillars. 
   
   
       11 . A parking arrangement according to  claim 1 , wherein it comprises a plurality of mutually adjacent, substantially identically constructed platforms and wherein the lifting devices of in each case two mutually adjacent platforms are disposed on the mutually opposing sides of the platforms.
