ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for compactly storing and retrieving a plurality of movable devices of the same size and external configuration, particularly containers in an aircraft, includes a support for horizontally supporting the movable devices in the form of a two-dimensional matrix constituted of two columns and a plurality of rows of two devices in each row, with a vacant space for one device in each of the first and last rows of the matrix. The apparatus further includes longitudinal and transverse transfer assemblies for shifting the devices to permit them to be selectively stored or retrieved, and retainer members engageable with the outer faces of the devices for securing them against movement at all times except during an actual storing or retrieving operation.
