  • Patent number: 5211296
    Abstract: A device and process for the storage of products in a frame and for the removal from the frame of products stored therein. A frame is provided with guides for guiding supports for the products over a distance in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the guides stretch separating the guide for one support from the guide for another support. There is a working place for a support removed from the frame or to be stored in said frame. An element removes one support from the frame and brings it on the working place and stores one support in the frame. A circuit feeds power to a system for moving the element in a direction substantially perpendicular to the direction in which the guides stretch. A sensor detects a dimension of a support provided with the product to be stored and actuates a switch of the circuit so as to move the support for its storage when the dimension detected by the sensor is less than the distance between the guide on which the support has to be placed and the adjacent guide.
