Storage And Retrieval System

As shown in the accompanying drawings, for purposes of illustration

, the present invention is directed to an automatic storage and retrieval system. This system is intended to maximize the storage capacity anywhere in a home or business, and allow for easy access and retrievability for anyone whether he or she be tall, short or handicapped, such as in a wheelchair. As will be more fully discussed herein, the design and configuration of the system is not complex so as not to be overly expensive or prone to breakage and maintenance.

An automatic storage and retrieval system, comprising: a first track having a generally rectangular configuration, and including a first vertical end rail interconnecting horizontal upper and lower rails, a second vertical end rail extending between the upper and lower rails in spaced relation to the first vertical end rail, and first and second spaced apart inner rails extending between the upper and lower rails; a second track having a generally rectangular configuration, and including a first vertical end rail interconnecting horizontal upper and lower rails, a second vertical end rail extending between the upper and lower rails in spaced relation to the first vertical end rail, and first and second spaced apart inner rails extending between the upper and lower rails, wherein the first vertical end rail and the inner rail adjacent thereto of each of the first and second tracks cooperatively form a first vertical track, and the second vertical end rail and the inner rail adjacent thereto of each of the first and second tracks cooperatively form a second a second vertical track, a plurality of individual storage units stacked in multiple columns and disposed between the first and second tracks, each storage unit including a catch extending therefrom and a set of wheels extending therefrom and configured to engage upper rails or lower rails of the first and second tracks so as to suspend the storage unit from the upper or lower rails of the first and second tracks when disposed at an uppermost or lowermost position in the column and permit selective movement along the continuous track;

One of the main drawbacks encountered in automatic and automatic storage and retrieval system relates to the complexity of the mechanisms used. Such complexity adds to the cost of installing the system, and adversely affects the reliability of such systems. Incorporating chain and pulley systems, unique lifting mechanisms, etc., renders the systems complicated and expensive to build, prone to breakage, and increases maintenance time and costs.
