AI Technical Summary
Older garage ramps are unsuitable for modern vehicles due to their narrowness and steep incline, often left unused, occupying valuable space and not easily convertible into functional parking areas.
A ramp parking platform device installed on garage ramps or inclined surfaces, converting them into functional parking spaces by altering the angle of inclination, allowing vehicles to access multiple levels and providing a parking deck.
Transforms garage ramps into practical and convenient parking areas, addressing the urban parking scarcity issue by optimizing space utilization.

Abstract
Description
[0001] The invention relates to a ramp parking platform according to the preamble of the claim.
[0002] There are well-known underground car parks for one or more vehicles, located beneath the building or underground. Access to such a garage is usually via a ramp. These garages, dating from the 1950s and 1960s, have a significantly smaller footprint and are therefore not particularly suitable for parking modern vehicles. They are often used for storing bicycles, motorcycles, and other items.
[0003] Some car owners park their vehicles on a ramp in front of the garage door. This is very inconvenient, as the ramps of older garages are narrow and have a relatively steep incline.
[0004] In most cases, however, the ramp remains unused. It's impossible to fill it with earth and cover it with concrete slabs, as this would block access to the garage. Therefore, the ramp goes unused, occupying a significant portion of the property. Given the increasing number of vehicles in cities and the scarcity of parking spaces, converting the ramp into a fully functional and convenient parking area is a modern and practical solution to the urban parking problem.
[0005] The invention DE 000002806016A1 describes a method for using a ramp structure that changes the angle of inclination (gradient angle), thus enabling alternating access to three different, superimposed garages. The invention is based on the objective of providing a device that is installed on a garage ramp or other inclined surface and whose upper level forms a parking space for a vehicle.
[0006] An example of different garage designs is shown below. Fig. 1 to Fig. 5 described.
[0007] It shows: Fig. 1 Side view of a garage ramp with a ramp parking platform installed on it and a car parked on it. Fig. 2 Side view of a garage ramp with a ramp parking platform installed on it, the parking deck of which is raised for entry into the garage. Fig. 3 Side view of a garage ramp when the top edge of the garage door is higher than the parking deck with a ramp parking platform installed on it, the parking deck of which is partially or completely raised to allow a vehicle to enter the garage or people to access it. Fig. 4 Side view of a garage ramp with a ramp parking platform mounted on it with a built-in ladder for entering the garage. Fig. 5 Side view of a ramp parking platform installed on a sloping property. QUOTES INCLUDED IN THE DESCRIPTION

Claims
[1] Ramp parking platform characterized by the fact that the ramp parking platform consisting of frame(1) and parking deck is installed on the garage ramp and its upper parking deck(2) forms a parking space. [2] Ramp parking platform according to claim 1 countersigned in that the parking deck(2) of the ramp parking platform can be completely raised, thereby enabling the entry of vehicles and the entry of persons into the garage. [3] Ramp parking platform according to claim 1,2 countersigned in that, when there is no need for a car to enter the garage, the upper parking deck can be partially raised to allow a motorcycle to enter the garage or people to access it. [4] Ramp parking platform according to claim 1,2,3 countersigned in that when the garage is no longer used for parking cars, the step ladder(3) contained in the ramp parking platform enables access to the garage. [5] Ramp parking platform according to claim 1, 2, 3, 4 countersigned in that the ramp parking platform can be installed on an inclined earth surface and thus forms a parking space for one or more vehicles.
