Abstract:
1. A plant for storing products, comprising: a frame ( 2 ) which defines at least a vertical store ( 40 ) having opposite flanks ( 4 ) that have pluralities of guides ( 6 ) located in such a way that a pair of opposite and reciprocally-facing guides ( 6 ) on a same horizontal plane define end rests for a single drawer or tray ( 5 ); housings being defined between the pairs of guides ( 6 ) and pairs of guides ( 6 ) opposite thereof for the drawers or trays ( 5 ); each drawer or tray ( 5 ) being transferable between a product load/unload configuration and a product storing configuration in which the drawer or tray ( 5 ) is inserted with ends thereof on said pair of opposite guides ( 6 ); an elevator ( 9 ) being coupled to the frame ( 2 ) and mobile along a development direction (A) of the vertical stores ( 40 ) in order to move the drawer or tray ( 5 ) between the configurations, characterized in that the opposite flanks ( 4 ) of the at least a store ( 40 ) have profiled uprights ( 4 a ), situated on a side facing towards the zone occupied by the elevator ( 9 ), which profiled uprights ( 4 a ) are conformed to be associated to the ends of a frame of the elevator ( 9 ) such as to realise a sliding coupling in a parallel direction to the profiled uprights ( 4 a ) destined to maintain the two profiled uprights ( 4 a ) and the opposite relative flanks ( 4 ) of the at least a store ( 40 ) at a predetermined distance; the frame ( 2 ) comprising at least a pair of vertical stores ( 40 ) which reciprocally face one another, the opposite flanks ( 4 ) of each store ( 40 ) having the profiled uprights ( 4 a ), situated on a side facing towards the central zone occupied by the elevator ( 9 ), which are conformed such as to be associated to the ends of the frame of the elevator ( 9 ) such as to realise a sliding coupling in a parallel direction to the profiled uprights ( 4 a ) which parallel direction is destined to maintain the two profiled uprights ( 4 a ) and the opposite relative flanks ( 4 ) of the at least a store ( 40 ) at a predetermined distance; the uprights ( 4 a) of each store ( 40 ) are symmetrically arranged and exhibit rolling surfaces ( 4 b , 4 c ) on which first and second wheels ( 13 and 14 ) slidably couple, which wheels ( 13 , 14 ) are arranged at ends of the frame ( 29 ) of the elevator ( 9 ); at least the surfaces ( 4 c ) on which the second wheels ( 14 ) are slidably coupled being substantially parallel to the introduction/extraction direction of the drawers or trays ( 5 ) which direction is parallel to the guides ( 6 ); the surfaces ( 4 c ) of the profiled uprights ( 4 a ) of each store ( 40 ) being symmetrically opposite one another; the conformation of the section of the uprights, which are straight, and the type of connection realised between them and the ends of the elevator ( 9 ) are specially predisposed, for maintaining the two profiled uprights ( 4 a ) and the relative opposite flanks ( 4 ) of each store ( 40 ) at a predetermined distance at least at the coupling zone with the frame ( 29 ) of the elevator or with the elevator; wherein the two profiled uprights (
