Garage with superimposed pivoting parking platforms - has independent platform articulation and common positioning system

摘要

The garage has superimposed pivoting parking platform whose leading ends are presented in alternation to an access ramp. During lifting, the pivoting of the upper platform precedes that of the lower platform and the termination of the inverse pivoting of the upper platform takes place after the lower platform has come to rest, the upper platform coming to rest on a stop on the lower platform. The platforms are positioned by two jacks pivotally mounted on the floor of the garage with the upper ends of the jacks pivotally mounted on two lever arms. One end of each arm is pivotally connected to a draw bar secured to the lower platform and the other end has a roller runner on a guide under the upper platform, these arms forming lost motion devices.
