Embodiment Construction

[0061] A car park according to a first preferred embodiment of the present invention is shown generally at 10 in FIG. 1. In this embodiment, the car park 10 is an above-ground car park, though it will be appreciated that it could in some embodiments be partially or wholly below ground.

[0062] Car park 10 includes an inner core 12 and an outer supporting structure 14, and comprises a plurality of annular parking levels 16a, 16b, 16c, etc. Each level comprises a plurality of parking compartments in the form of parking platforms, each of which comprises a sector of a respective annular parking level and extending between inner core 12 and outer structure 14.

[0063] Car park 10 includes a vertical lift shaft 20, generally comprising vertically aligned gaps, one parking platform in width, in each of the parking levels 16a, 16b, etc.

[0064] In one alternative embodiment, the lift shaft has a spiral configuration in which the gaps are progressively offset around the vertical axis of the ca...

Abstract

A car park (or other storage facility), comprising: a plurality of annular parking levels; an outer structure and a central core for supporting the parking levels; and a hoisting mechanism; wherein each of the plurality of parking levels comprises a plurality of parking compartments located between the outer structure and the inner core, each of the levels is rotatable to bring a respective compartment into alignment with the hoisting mechanism so that the respective compartment can be detached from the respective level and raised or lowered by the hoisting mechanism. In one embodiment, the plurality of annular parking levels constitutes a first parking circuit and the car park includes at least one additional parking circuit comprising a further plurality of annular parking levels, wherein the first parking circuit and the additional parking circuit are coaxial.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates to a car park or parking garage, and to a storage facility. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] Existing multilevel car parks provide multiple parking compartments or platforms, each generally accessible by means of a sequence of ramps joining each level. The ramps may be essentially straight or, in some existing car parks, spiral. The ramps, however, consume a substantial amount of space that ideally would be devoted to parking compartments. [0003] This problem has been addressed in some existing car parks by providing a multilevel car park with one or more hoists, for transporting the cars to the parking compartments. This reduces or eliminates the need for ramps. For example, CH 686,896 discloses a car park comprising a silo with radiating parking compartments at each level. The parking compartments at any particular level form an annulus. In the centre of the silo—within the annuluses—is a central shaft with a hoist for ...
