Abstract:

An automobile parking and storage system permits a driver to turn an automobile any desired direction in a size restricted area. In a preferred form of the invention, the system includes a rotating assembly driven by a reversible motor along a subsurface track, an automobile-mounted transmitter which signals a receiver situated generally below the rotating assembly only when situated substantially directly over the receiver, and a controller which regulates movement of the rotating assembly through the motor in response to signals from the receiver. It is preferred that all transmitters and receivers be set to a standard frequency, to enable any automobile to be driven onto the rotating assembly and pivotted as desired in response to manipulation of a dash-mounted, remote-control switch box. Moreover, to prevent the inadvertent activation of the motor, the effective transmitting range of the transmitter should be limited to require the transmitter-bearing automobile to be situated directly over the receiver on the rotating assembly.
