ABSTRACT:
A storage systems for storing and retrieving rod-shaped material, includes a plurality of pallets for accommodating the material, each pallet has a material-supporting bottom inclined transversely to the length dimension of the pallet; a device for storing the pallets; a withdrawal apparatus for retrieving a selected one of the pallets from the storing device; a positioning device in the withdrawal apparatus for adjusting the longitudinal and transverse position of the pallet and for lifting the pallet against stops in the withdrawal apparatus; an apparatus for lifting the material out of, and lowering it into a pallet disposed in the withdrawal apparatus. The apparatus has at least two lifters arranged serially with respect to the length of the pallet disposed in the withdrawal apparatus. The lifters are moved in unison vertically through apertures provided in the bottom of the pallet for engaging and moving the material with respect to the pallet. There are further provided abutments projecting from a side of the pallet inwardly thereof for cooperating with the lifters to arrest their upward motion when the lifted material has reached, above the pallet, a predetermined position from which it is displaceable transversely to the length of the pallet onto a conveyor leading to a cutting machine. At the upper end of each lifter there is attached a rocker cooperating with an associated abutment and arranged for a swinging motion about an axis extending parallel to the length of the pallet disposed in the withdrawal apparatus. The axis is situated eccentrically with respect to the width of the pallet, in the direction of the higher-lying side of the pallet bottom.
