System for preventing fluid damage to vertically stacked vehicles

Abstract

A system for preventing fluid damage to vertically stacked vehicles includes a vehicle storage platform having a first level and a second level. The first level is defined by first level frame members. The first level includes a first vehicle storage surface configured to retain a portion of a vehicle and a left side and a right side opposite the left side of the first level. The vehicle storage platform includes a second level defined by second level frame members with a second vehicle storage surface configured to retain a portion of a vehicle. The second vehicle storage surface is disposed at a position vertically higher than the first vehicle storage surface. The second level includes a left side and a right side opposite the left side of the second level. A debris deflection assembly covers the first vehicle storage surface and deflects debris from entering a vehicle placement zone.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A system for preventing fluid damage to vertically stacked vehicles comprising:
 a vehicle storage platform having:
 a first level defined by a plurality of first level frame members and with a first vehicle storage surface configured to retain a portion of a vehicle, the first level having a left side and a right side opposite the left side of the first level; 
 a second level defined by a plurality of second level frame members with a second vehicle storage surface configured to retain a portion of a vehicle and disposed at a position vertically higher than the first vehicle storage surface, the second level having a left side and a right side opposite the left side of the second level; 
 a first plurality of vertical level support members separating the first level and the second level; 
 a second plurality of vertical level support members separating the first level and the second level; and 
 a first horizontal level support member separating the first plurality of vertical level support members and a second horizontal level support member separating the second plurality of vertical level support members; and 
   a debris deflection assembly defining a vehicle placement zone and having:
 a first end, a second end, and an assembly length separating the first and second ends of the debris deflection assembly; 
 a first portion spanning in a direction of the assembly length and oriented in a direction toward the first level, the first portion of the debris deflection assembly coupled to a portion of the second level frame members with at least one fastener; and 
 a second portion with a substantially enclosed upper surface spanning in a direction of the assembly length, the second portion of the debris deflection assembly coupled to the first and second horizontal level support members with at least one fastener to permit the substantially enclosed upper surface of the second portion to:
 extend downwardly from a lower end of the first portion of the debris deflection assembly towards the left and right sides of the first level; 
 cover the first vehicle storage surface; and 
 deflect a debris from entering the vehicle placement zone. 
 
   
     
     
         2 . The system according to  claim 1 , wherein the debris deflection assembly further comprises:
 a third portion spanning in a direction of the assembly length and extending downwardly from a lower end of the second portion of the debris deflection assembly towards the first level.   
     
     
         3 . The system according to  claim 1 , wherein the substantially enclosed upper surface is of a waterproof fabric material. 
     
     
         4 . The system according to  claim 1 , wherein the substantially enclosed upper surface is of a polymeric material.
