ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for storing and dispensing stacked articles, such as cases of wine stacked one upon the other, includes a frame in which a platform is situated on which the stack of articles is supported. The platform is coupled to a mechanism which is positioned under the weight of the stack so that the uppermost article is presented at a predetermined height for automatically elevating the platform and stack supported thereby upon removal of the uppermost article whereby the next article beneath it automatically comes into position at that predetermined height. The mechanism comprises a torsion spring one end of which is attached to the platform and the other end of which is connected to a drum which is mounted to the underside of the support platform. Each lateral end of the drum has a pulley region around which a pair of cables are wound, each cable having a free end which is attached to an upper end of the frame of the apparatus and supports along its length a respective corner of the support platform.
