ABSTRACT:
An installation for storing a variety of elongate rod stock and for automatically supplying such stock in a selected sequence to a severing machine which is spaced from the installation, the rod stock being stored in the installation with their longitudinal dimensions all parallel to one another and to the direction of the severing machine, and the installation being composed of a group of vertically extending shelving units spaced from one another in a direction transverse to the direction toward the severing machine, each shelving unit presenting a plurality of compartments spaced vertically from one another, a gantry crane including a crane bridge movable between the compartments for conveying stock to and from each compartment, and a rollway associated with one of the shelving units, arranged to convey stock to and from the severing machine, and vertically movable between a raised position and a lowered position. The shelving compartments, the rollway, the gantry crane components which support stock and a carrier being so constructed as to permit the gantry crane components to move vertically between the supporting arms of the compartments and the rollers of the rollway and to permit the rollers of the rollway to move between supporting members of the carrier in a manner to permit stock to be transferred from the gantry crane to the rollway by movement of the gantry crane components downwardly past the rollers, as well as from the rollway to the carrier and from the carrier to the components of the gantry crane.
