ABSTRACT:
A storage and retrieval system including a pair of spaced-apart longitudinally extending storage racks that provide a plurality of storage compartments, each compartment adapted to store a box-like bin which can contain smaller items, articles of commerce, and the like. Each storage compartment has an inner and outer opening adapted to receive and pass, respectively, a bin, and the compartments are arranged in longitudinally extending rows and in multileveled tiers. A plurality of rail pairs that incline downwardly at about 45 degrees are mounted between storage racks and are adapted to guide a bin placed thereon in speedy sliding motion under the force of gravity. There is means for moving a bin from a compartment and placing it, in alignment, upon an adjoining rail pair and releasing the bin. Near the lower part of the racks are take-off rails which curve from about 45 degrees, towards a horizontal direction, terminating just above a horizontally extending conveyor. These take-offs are adapted to engage a downwardly moving bin and carry it to the conveyor, which moves the bin to a collection point.
