<p>An object storage magazine comprises a plurality of circular horizontal coaxially stacked trays (1) forming a tower assembly, means for supporting said trays, each tray being freely rotatable and including an undercut, and means including a gripping unit (27) for circulating the gripping unit in the channel formed by the undercut portions when the trays are in a position where the undercut portions are vertically aligned. The magazine is characterised in that each tray is divided into storage cells (2), wherein each object to be stored is disposed respectively. The undercut portion of the trays is rectilinear, and the means for circulating said gripping unit in said channel includes a vertical column (10) arranged beside the tower and provided with a carriage (11) and carriage displacement motor means (14, 16) arranged along the length of the column (10), wherein said carriage has an arm (20) supporting a slide (21) provided with said gripping unit (27). The arm (20) has motor means (23, 25) for moving said slide (21) along the arm (20), and each tray is provided with passive drive means (29) co-operating with complementary motor means (31), supported on said carriage (11), which rotatably drive the trays (1) and which are releasable from said passive means (29). The arm (20), with its slide (21), circulates freely in said channel, along with the gripping unit (27) and the transported object.</p> |
