ABSTRACT:
A plate stocker comprises plate inlet and outlet stations for feeding plates, one by one, in flat state in the horizontal direction toward and from a plate stock section, respectively. The stock section comprises: a looped-rail extending between the plate inlet and outlet stations and having upper and lower horizontal rail sections, and a plurality of holders freely movably supported along the looped-rail, capable of holding plates in an upright state when the holders are supported on the upper rail section of the looped-rail. The plates are received, one by one, by turning the plates from the horizontal to the vertical state to transfer them to the holders. The holders are automatically engaged by a belt and move along the upper rail section toward the outlet station while holding plates and move along the lower rail section backward to the inlet station while not holding plates. Stoppers are arranged on the upper and lower rail sections to disengage the holders from the belt.
