The plant comprises a carrier structure formed by a network of orthogonal paths (1,2) on which carriages to be stored (5) are capable to move in two directions (xy). The displacement along (y) is provided by a robot carriage (18) carried by a carrier carriage (23) moving on a side path (24,25). The displacement of carriages along (x) is provided by bars (11) provided with pneumatic fingers (17). The carriages are either provided with two wheel trains (8,9) with axles perpendicular between each o...

A storing mechanism suitable for being disposed in an electronic device is provided, which is used to store a first hard disk with a first thickness or a second hard disk with a second thickness. The storing mechanism includes a first module, a second module and a restoring element. The first module includes a base and a lever. The lever having a leaned portion is pivoted to the base. Additionally, the second module includes a tray and a slide. The tray is glidingly disposed on the base, and has...

A hypercube constructing unit realizes an offset space of a secondary storage as a data storing structure of a super cube, also referred to as a hypercube. An access processing unit accesses to a requested area in the offset space at a high speed by using the data storing structure of the hypercube. The hypercube constructing unit defines a hypercube by the dimension, nodes apexes), and sides, allocates each of the head (top) to last pages divisionally constructing the offset space to the nodes ...

An apparatus for storing various items, like toothbrushes, toothpaste tubes, razors or other toiletry and non-toiletry items. The apparatus comprises a carrier member adapted to accommodate the said items therein and a support member adapted to support the carrier member. The carrier member is separable from the support member and receivable thereinto. The carrier member is configured as a body of rotation defined by a longitudinal axis, by an upper portion, by an elongated tubular peripheral po...

A container for storing at least one article, the container including opposite front and rear walls, and opposite left and right walls, each of the walls being provided with an inner surface and an outer surface, and having an upper rim. The container also includes a bottom floor. The walls and bottom floor are operatively connected to one another so as to define a main storing space within the container for storing the at least one article. An important aspect of the present invention lies in t...

A thread is wound in successive loops at the same end of a stationary holder having an even number of rollers arranged in a circle. Alternate rollers rotate in opposite directions to reduce friction. A rotary thread guide builds up a coil on the rollers from which the leading loop is taken off and supplied to a textile machine, while new trailing loops are laid by the rotary thread guide. When the number of loops of the wound coil is sufficient, the motor driving the thread guide is stopped, and...

A selective signal storage device which includes a signal-storing unit composed of a supporting shaft and a plurality of disks having signal-storing surfaces on at least one face thereof and being secured axially spaced from each other to the shaft for rotation therewith. Releasable coupling means are provided to releasably couple the supporting shaft to drive means so that the signal-storing unit can be removed as a unit from the remainder of the device.

A hydrogen storing member which comprises at least two kinds of hydrogen storing materials comprising a first hydrogen storing material and a second hydrogen storing material capable of releasing or storing hydrogen in a range of at least one of temperature and pressure at which the first hydrogen storing material is in the .beta. phase having a high capacity for storing hydrogen.

A compensating store device for cigarettes, between cigarette manufacturing machines and machines for packeting the cigarettes, wrapping the packets and making and wrapping packs of wrapped packets. The store device comprises a cylinder rotating about a vertical axis and having vertical, radial cigarette storage compartments, circumferentially distributed. A cigarette delivery channel at the top of this body feeds cigarettes to the compartments, and tilts so as not to loose its free and open, ci...
