Device and process for the storage of products

Device for the storage of products, said device comprising:

• (a) a frame provided with means for guiding supports for said products, a distance in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the guiding means stretch separating the guiding means for one support from the guiding means for another support;
• (b) a working place for a support removed from the frame or to be stored in said frame;
• (c) an element for removing one support from said frame and bringing it on the working place and for storing one support in said frame;
• (d) a circuit for feeding power to a system for moving the element in a direction substantially perpendicular to the direction in which the guiding means stretch, and
• (e) a sensor for detecting a dimension of the support provided with the product to be stored, said sensor actuating a switch of said circuit so as to move a support to be stored when the dimension detected by the sensor is lower to the distance between the guiding means on which the support has to be placed and the adjacent guiding means, the frame consisting of a first part for the storage of supports and of a second part for the moving of the element, said first part comprising at least two pairs of uprights, traverse beams placed between uprights and pairs of rails, a first rail of a pair stretching between two uprights, while the other rail of said pair stretches between two other uprights, in a direction which is substantially parallel to the direction in which the first rail stretches, and in which the second part comprises vertical and traverse beams.
