Abstract: A pivoted tray storage apparatus having a parallelepiped base, the base having a base compartment. Each base end has a concave endpiece. A shelf is extended from the bottom of each concave endpiece, a pneumatic cylinder vertically disposed upon each shelf. A pair of opposed pivoted trays with compartments are pivotally disposed above the base, each tray outer end having a convex endpiece for fit to the base concave endpieces. Each tray convex endpiece is fitted with a plunger for fit to the pneumatic cylinders, respectively, providing cushioned up and down travel of trays. Trays are selectively held in an open position by a channel in each base endpiece and a spine in each tray endpiece. Further pairs of trays are optionally provided to pivotally fit above the first tray pair, successively.
