ABSTRACT:
An article storage carousel is disclosed featuring automatic conveyor loading and unloading. A conveyor is provided for transporting articles along a fixed path between an upstream location and a downstream location. A vertical carriage accumulates a plurality of articles for subsequent transfer to a temporary storage location. A storage carousel receives the plurality of articles for temporary storage and subsequent retrieval and discharge to the conveyor. If required, an alignment and guide housing can be provided between the vertical carriage and storage carousel to compensate for any slight vertical misalignment between the vertical carriage and storage carousel.
