Abstract: A device for parking automobiles comprises two interconnected superimposed platforms which may be lifted and tilted to provide ground level access to either platform and fixed rail tracks and guideways on each side of the platforms. One of the trackways is fixed and the other is connected to the platforms which themselves co-operate with a fixed guide element.

Abstract: In a device for parking automobiles use is made of two platforms arranged one above the other and of devices for lifting and tilting these platforms. The latter devices include cooperating trackways, for example flanged rails, coacting with guide rollers on the platforms. The trackways are substantially rectilinear and arranged at an acute angle to one another so as to tilt the platforms during the lifting motion. The degree of inclination thereby achieved can be varied by an adjusting mechanism.

Abstract: An apparatus for making optimum use of parking space and providing unobtrusive stowage of vehicles has a plurality of superimposed parking platforms which can be hoisted and lowered for access from a single entry site by a mechanism including a parallelogram linkage. Provision can be made for tilting the platforms to assist access and conserve compactness.

Abstract: A vehicle-receiving structure which is made up of a series of side-by-side supports each having a downturned leg at each side for interfitment and coupling with the corresponding leg of the next-adjacent support, each such leg being made from sheet metal which is cranked through a right-angle at least three times along its depth. The outer end of the lowest member of the cranked limbs may be flanged upwards to form a channel to accommodate an abutment element between the internested legs of the adjacent supports.
