Embodiment Construction

[0032]Referring first to FIGS. 1 and 2, there is shown a parking system of the present invention for parking vehicles on a roof 10 of a new or existing building 12. FIG. 1 shows an early stage of parking a car 14 in a (typically, its) parking space 16 (i.e. where the car is just entering the parking system); and FIG. 2 shows a late stage of parking the car 14 (where the car is nearly above its parking space at which time it will be lowered).

[0033]The parking system comprises a vehicle positioning device 18 comprising a system of support beams 20 and a system of car positioning beams 22, and a carriage 24, which is carried by one of the vehicle positioning beams. The support beams 20 typically include generally vertical beams 26 and generally horizontal beams 28—both of which typically include diagonally oriented structural members or diagonal beams 30. The support beams 20 and vehicle positioning beams 22 include beams that are located above the roof 10 and beams located outside the...

Description

FIELD OF INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to the parking of vehicles, in particular automatic parking thereof on the roofs of buildings.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]In many locations there is a dearth of available parking spaces. This is particularly true in crowed cities due to the large number of automobiles owned by those who live and come to work there.[0003]Due to this issue, new buildings often include underground parking or are raised (on “stilts”) to provide parking under the first floor of the building. On the other hand, some new buildings do not provide for parking, which further exacerbates the afore-mentioned parking issue. Also, there are many existing buildings that do not have a parking lot or underground parking; or simply have insufficient parking space.[0004]To help provide a solution to the parking space issue in crowded locations, JP 6212822 and JP 1268973 both disclose roof parking devices.[0005]The roof parking device of JP 66212822 comprises a...
