Title:
CAR LIFTING & PARALLEL PARKING AID
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2013/143554
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The lifting and parking parallel aid is using car battery as power source. In general, it is consist of two parts. Part one : A wired control box fixed inside the car according the below description - The control box has four buttons hidden under a cover, and the cover works as on and (off power switch for the control box (for safety reasons). First button to lift up the car. Second button to lower the car. Third button to move the car aside to the left side (after lifting the car). Fourth button to move the car aside to the right side (after lifting the car). Part two: A metal shape fixed in the car bottom attached with lift controlled by hidden electrical motor to lift the car up or lowered down through the control box. The lift base is in the shape of a side fender. The fenders are equipped with hidden wheels having extra diameter than the fender pipe, able to roll left or right by electrical motors (controlled by the wired control box). Notes: It is recommended to locate the control box under the hand break, so it will not be reachable unless the hand break is ON, to secure using the lift while the car is stopped. (To avoid the human errors). Side sensors located in the car four sides will give extra caution for the driver to avoid accidental collusions during parallel parking. Side fenders will be giving nice decoration for the car. The lifting and parking aid could be attached to almost every car with high safety measurements within one hour by normal technicians.

The car lifting & parallel parking Aid:

1- consist of :

(a) half of scissor lift operate by electrical

(b) side fender works as base of the half scissor lift

(c) side fender roll around it self by electrical motor

(d) control keys

2- According to the above mentioned item ( No. 1 - a) half of scissor lift operates by electrical motor hidden under the car to lift the car up & lower down for car repairs , tier change , get out of sand traps

3- According to the above mentioned item (No. 1 - a) the half of the scissor lift screwing bar is screwed from left to wright from beginning to the middle and screwed from wright to left the other half, and each half is having a speciahnut, thus by rolling the screwing bar around itself, both nuts will move against each other to meet in the middle, and by rolling the screwing bar around itself again, both of the nuts will move vice-versa. (This will cause fast lifting up and lowering down operation).

4- According to the item No. (1- b) the side fender which is located in car side works as lift base for the No 2 operation.

5- According to the item No. (1 -c) the car side fender is able to roll- around itself by electrical motor to accomplish car moving aside for parallel parking purposes.

6- According to the item No. (1-d), of control keys for controlling lift up & down & moving car left & right (after lifting).

7- According to the item Nb.(1 -d), the control box is having a cover which switch on power when open & power off when close, for the control box to avoid accidental functioning of control keys due to electrical short circuits.

8- According to the item No. (1- d) the control box should be located under the

hand-break, (in other words, the control box will not be reachable unless the car is stopped) to avoid human errors.

Description:
Car lifting & parallel parking Aid

Technical field :

It is a part of the car accessories industry.

Background art :

• Car lifting is done by using manual lift or electrical lift.

• parking system depends on using a high sophisticated technology mixing computer programs with cameras plus electro-hydraulic system controlling driving wheels in order to have a parallel parking for the car.

This system must build in the car during manufacturing operation and it made for expensive cars, and needs to train the driver how to use it.

The driver should be well educated and having good idea about how to handle the computer.

The dis-advantages of the old car lifting and car parking system :

a) For lifting, driver should carry the jack out of car trunk & fix-it under the car. And then lift it manually or by electricity which takes 90 seconds for lifting

B) For parallel parking, Using a parking area not less than 1.5 time of the actual car length (such space is hard to find inside cities).

- Expensive cost of the parallel parking system due to the high-tech used

- Possibilities of system breakdown is high due to a variety of sets involved in parking operation

(I.e. camera, computer, software, electro-hydraulic system)

- Driver should be familiar with computers and high-tech

- The system must build in the car during manufacturing.

- High cost of repairs and maintains plus needing of highly trained technicians to carry such repairs The new car lifting & parking aid system

- The set of car lifting & parking Aid, lift car with in 10 second by pushing a bottom

- The set of car lifting & parking Aid, will take less than 15 seconds, and Could park a car in an area equal to the length of the car (plus 40 CMS. for safety reasons).

- The set of car lifting & parking Aid, Could be fixed in most cars (old or new) within one hour.

- The set of car lifting & parking Aid, is a very easy parking system could be used by uneducated and old drivers.

- The set of car lifting & parking Aid, Supply the car with a side fenders

- The set of car lifting & parking Aid, Supply the car with a build in electrical lift (safe and fast) for proceeding with tiers repairs or maintains, getting out of sand traps.

- The set of car lifting & parking Aid, Cheap cost (less than 1000 USD)

- The set of car lifting & parking Aid, Using very simple technology, meaning fewer breakdowns, easy repairs (could be handle by most technicians.

Disclosure of invention :

It is a metal shape to be fixed in the bottom of the car and ended with two sides' car fenders.

This above metal set is equipped with hidden electrical motors controlled by a control box located inside the car.

The set is working according to the below sequence:

- Through the control box the sides' fenders will be lowered against the road surface

causing lifting the car up.

- Through the control box, both of the side fenders will roll around them self in the same direction (left direction or right direction) causing car moving by side to have a parallel parking).

- By having the car lifted up, it will be easy to change tiers or executing car maintains.

- The electrical lifting system could be used to get the car out sand traps. Brief Description of Drawings

Map keys

H = hinge

F = nut

E = electrical motor

C = connecting point

= fixing point to the car body

Fig. 1 description

A metal shape of four sides, three of them are pipes and the fourth is a screwed metal bar (half of it screwed from left to Wright and the other half is screwed from Wright to left)

And a nut having connecting point is attached to each half of the above mentioned screwed bar.

The screwed bar is ended with tow electrical motors to roll it around itself.

Fig 3

A metal shape of four sides, three of them is pipes and the fourth side is the car sjde fender

The side car fender is ended with tow electrical motors to control it move around itself.

By assembling the parking aid by connecting the below mentioned points

F1 to C5

C5 to C3

F2 to C7

c8 to c4 By having two identical copies of the above mentioned structure fixed in both of the car side
