Abstract: A shiftable article storage device having a plurality of shiftable article storage units each adapted for mounting articles to be stored thereon and provided with a driving source, the article storage units being put together with no interval between each other when not in use but shifted, when an article on one of them is desired to be taken out, in such a manner that an aisle is formed on one side of the one article storage unit to provide access to the article.

Abstract: A shiftable article storage device having a plurality of shiftable article storage units each adapted for mounting articles to be stored thereon and provided with a driving source. The article storage units are put together with no interval between each other when not in use but shifted, when an article on one of them is desired to be taken out, in such a manner that an aisle is formed on one side of one article storage unit to provide access to the article.

Abstract: A wall of a building is constructed by joining a plurality of partition units of substantially U-like cross-sectional shape. During storage or transportation, the partition units are grouped into a telescoped assembly by forcing each partition unit into the internal space of another. During construction of the wall, the partition units are successively drawn to be joined together while being engaged at the upper or lower end thereof by a guide member thereby providing continuous flat partition wall surfaces. Then, a filler material is usually filled in the internal space of the joined partition units to complete the wall, but such filling work can be dispensed with where ready installing and disassembling is desired or where insulation against heat and or sound is not required.

Abstract: A structure comprising a plurality of partition members in sheet form each providing a pair of spaced opposite partition faces connected at one side and non-connected at the other side. These partition members are grouped into a telescoped assembly by guiding each of them into the internal space of another when not in use. When in use, the partition members are successively drawn from the telescoped assembly to provide continuous partition faces of a partition between two compartments of a room, sliding door or a window shutter.

Abstract: An apparatus for storing and delivering articles, having storage means divided longitudinally into a plurality of storage compartments each for storing a plurality of articles therein, and article delivery means provided at a delivery opening for each storage compartment for delivering one or a plurality of articles from said delivery opening, said article or articles delivered from each of said delivery openings being conveyed to a desired location by conveyor means.
