ABSTRACT:
A parking system in which a parking area for accommodation of a vehicle therein is closed at one end and has a parking meter at the other end. An elongated arm is pivotally connected to a post on which the parking meter is mounted. The elongated arm is movable between a position in which it extends transversely of the parking area a sufficient distance to block removal of a vehicle parked therein and another position in which the arm does not block removal of a vehicle in the parking area. Structure, actuated by a vehicle to be parked, is provided in the parking area. This structure simultaneously actuates the parking meter and moves the arm into a position into which it blocks removal of a vehicle parked in the parking area. Upon returning to his vehicle, the operator thereof need only insert a sufficient monetary amount in the parking meter whereupon the parking meter will deactuate the structure so that the arm thereby moves from its position in which it blocks removal of the parked vehicle to its position in which it does not block such removal so the parked vehible may be removed from the parking area. The structure actuated by the vehicle may be a bumper contacted and moved by the bumper of a vehicle to be parked or a plate which is contacted and moved by a wheel of a vehicle to be parked.
