MOVING RACKS THAT SUPPORT HEAVY MATERIALS

摘要

A storage rack (30) with vertically arranged, horizontal drawers (38) movable by a crank mechanism is provided. Each individual drawer (38) of the storage rack (30) has a gear mechanism which is connected to a drive shaft (46) with wheels (44). A crank handle (54) is provided to engage the gear mechanism of any individual drawer and provide motive force to the drive shaft. The rotation of the crank causes the drive shaft to rotate and, in turn, rotates the wheels. The wheels travel along respective track members (50) attached the storage rack (30) to move a drawer in and out relative to the storage rack.
