ABSTRACT:
A storage system for sequent and positioned input, storage and removal of ems arranged on a carrier, includes a first container for full carriers and a second container for empty carriers. The carrier is a conveyor belt, the ends of which are attached to shafts, and which can be wound up upon these shafts together with the items on the conveyor belt. The conveyor belt is composed of individual rigid segments, which are flexibly joined to each other by a joining device, and each of which is a storage device for at least one item. A forward transport unit moves the conveyor belt in such a manner that a new item can be stored or removed from one loading and unloading station and the conveyor belt is unwound from one shaft and rewound on the other shaft. The shafts are arranged in a container in a type of cassette. The system has the advantage that it requires only one loading and unloading station and that the process can be readily automated.
