Abstract: A device for storing and handling at least one drill bit cassette includes a channel member having a height, two ends and a length extending between the two ends. At least one of the two ends is dimensioned to slidingly receive the at least one drill bit cassette. As a result, drill bit cassettes can be safely and efficiently removed, installed and stored.

Abstract: An article support rack (10) has at least one article support (12), such as a shelf, which is horizontally slidable in a first frame (18). A second frame (29) is mounted for vertical movement relative to the first frame (18). At least one weight (26) is supported by such second frame (29) at a certain distance above the article support (12) when the first and second frame are in a first position relative to each other. Articles (24) such as circuit boards are placed on the article support (12), and the vertical position of the first and second frames are shifted to a second position relative to each other wherein the upper surface of the circuit boards is pushed against the respective weight to lift the weight off its support such that the weight rests on the circuit boards.
