  • Patent number: 6609657
    Abstract: A storage system for storing and entrapping a plurality of objects comprising a system housing; smartkey housings operable to receive and releasably lock a smartkey therein; recesses, each of which is associated with a respective smartkey housing; and a plurality of smartkeys, each of which is associated with an object. Each smartkey comprises a body; a memory device comprising an individualized code; and an entrapping arm, coupled to the body, for entrapping an object positioned in the recess associated with the smartkey housing. When the object is positioned within its respective recess and the smartkey is positioned and locked in the smartkey housing associated with the recess, the entrapping arm prevents the object from being removed from the associated recess until the smartkey is removed from its respective smartkey housing at which time the object is removable from the recess.
