ABSTRACT:
Article storage and handling systems for retrieving articles from a storage rack and transferring the articles to a collecting conveyor. An article retrieving device is adjusted into retrieving cooperation with a preselected one of a plurality of roller tracks of the rack, the height of the device being aligned with the particular track. A stopping mechanism for this roller track on actuation enables the article to be transferred from the rack to the retrieving device, this transfer being in a first direction of movement transversely of the length of the rack and with the assistance of the force of gravity of the article. From the retrieving device to the collecting conveyor, the article is moved continuously in a second direction along the length of the rack. The motion in both directions of movement is effected continuously.
