Definitions

  • the present invention has for its object a carrying element for a storage installation support in which a load is transferred from a first to a second support by the passage of these supports one through the other, characterized by the fact that this element comprises a bearing surface which seen from above shows parts offset on either side of the longitudinal symmetry plane of this carrying element.
  • FIG. 1 is a partial view from above of a support provided with carrying elements.
  • FIG. 2 is a partial view in side elevation of the support shown in FIG. 1.
  • FIG. 3 is a detail on a larger scale showing carrying elements of FIGS. 1 and 2.
  • FIG. 4 is a detail on a larger scale showing a first variant of the carrying elements.
  • FIG. 5 is a detail on a larger scale showing a second variant of the carrying elements.
  • FIG. 6 is a detail on a larger scale showing a third variant of the carrying elements.
  • FIG. 7 shows partially a mechanical garage installation equipped with carrying elements, according to the invention.
  • the carrying elements which are the object of the present invention are adapted to be employed in storage installations comprising supports provided with carrying elements in which loads are transferred from a first support onto a second support by the passage of these supports one through the other.
  • An installation of this type is for example that described in Patent No. 3,204,785 (application No. 146,872, filed on October 25, 1961).
  • the present invention relates to a new type of carrying elements for mechanical garage installations tending to remove the above mentioned serious disadvantages.
  • the carrying elements 1 according to the invention are rigidly or mechanically fixed, parallel one to the other, by one of their ends along side-members 2 forming part of the frame of a support for the mechanical storage installation.
  • Each of these side-members 2 provided with its carrying elements thus presents the general shape of a comb, which can moreover be found in existing installations.
  • these carrying elements 1 comprise a bearing surface 3 which, seen from above, has parts offset on either side of the longitudinal symmetry plane of the said element.
  • This essential particularly permits of producing strong carrying elements, having a proper small thickness, which permits of disposing them at a short distance one from the other, but the carrying area of which is very large.
  • This carrying area is defined by a horizontal plane passing through the bearing surface 3 but limited laterally by lines connecting the most distant points of the symmetry axis of the element situated on either side of this axis respectively.
  • the distance separating two carrying areas relative to two adjacent elements is less than the pitch or the distance separating these two elements. This is possible due to the outline of each element. In this way the deformation of a tire resting on two adjacent elements is also small. In practice, the deformation of the tire, in whatever way said tire rests on the carrying elements, is comparable to the deformation which it undergoes when it is in contact with the flat ground.
  • FIGS. 1 to 3 and 7 show very partially a mechanical garage installation which comprises supports 4, including side-members 2 provided with carrying elements 1, movable horizontally along rails 5.
  • This installation further comprises a lifting appliance the platforms of which are constituted by second supports 6 provided with carrying elements 1, identical to those carried by the supports 4.
  • These supports 4 and these second supports 6 are arranged in such a way that when they are alined vertically one relative to the other, the second supports 6 pass during their vertical movement through the support 4.
  • the carrying elements 1 and 1' are interposed and each passes into the space provided between two elements carried by the other support.
  • the carrying elements 1 and 1' are all constituted by fiat bars bent zigzag and one of whose a lateral edges forms the bearing surface 3.
  • the strength and rigidity of the elements may be increased at will by increasing the width of the bar which in no way changes the structure of the element seen from above, that is to say perpendicularly to the bearing surface. Due to this original outline it is possible to produce supports, for example by means of flat bars of a thickness of about 0.4 in., having a carrying area of a width of about 2 to 4 in., whereas the adjacent elements are also separated by about 3 to 6 in. This distance between adjacent elements could even be still more reduced, and in fact it is determined solely by the accuracy of the positioning of the first supports relative to the second supports.
  • the carrying surface would be equal to the width of the tire multiplied by the width of the carrying area of the carrying element, this due to the fact that the tread of a tire does not have the same possibility of deformation along a V-shaped line as along a straight line.
  • the carrying elements 1, 1 may have, seen from above, shapes differing from that of a broken line without departing from the scope' of protection claimed.
  • the sinusoidal and trapezoidal shapes shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 respectively are also possible and permit of obtaining the same results as the embodiment described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3 and 7.
  • the last modified form of the carrying elements according to the invention, shown in FIG. 6, also has a bearing surface comprising parts offset on either side of the longitudinal symmetry plane of the element.
  • each carrying element is constituted by a central core 7 carrying cross-pieces 8 projecting from either side of this core 7.
  • Each carrying element thus has the general shape of a ladder.
  • Width of the core 1.6 in.; width of the cross-pieces 4.8 in.; distance separting two elements 6.4 in.
  • a car storage installation comprising a first and second support having interfingering portions, means for vertically moving one of said supports to transfer a load from either support to the other support, said interfingering portions when seen in plan view having a general shape of zigzag line.
