• at least one container for storing paraphernalia therein;
• and
• translation means for supporting the container at the proximate space and for moving the container from the proximate space to a stowage space that is below the floor level and distinct from the proximate space, wherein the translation means includes:
• at least one wagon for supporting the container thereon, the wagon movable from the proximate space to the stowage space, and
• a rail system for guiding the motion of the wagon from the proximate space to the stowage space, wherein the rail system includes at least one rail that is configured in a closed loop.
