Patent ID: 7993088

Claim:
A storage system for storing products, the storage system comprising: a frame having a first side and a second loading/unloading side opposite the first side, the second loading/unloading side comprising a pair of spaced apart openings through the frame; a dynamic support carried by the frame, the dynamic support configured to support a product thereon by resting the product against the dynamic support, the dynamic support including a plurality of moving elements upon which product rests to define a dynamic support surface; and a mover assembly carried by the frame and configured to engage an area of the product at rest on the dynamic support, the mover assembly comprising spaced apart tracks, each track extending alongside a respective outer edge of the dynamic support from the first side to the second side of the frame and a pusher element that is moveably coupled to the tracks for movement along the tracks between the first and second sides of the frame, the mover assembly configured to move the product along the dynamic support by moving the pusher element relative to the dynamic support and toward the second loading/unloading side thereby applying a pushing force to the rear of the product to move the product relative to the dynamic support, the dynamic support surface having lateral side edges, each of which is located between the spaced apart tracks; wherein the mover assembly includes a graspable handle that is connected to the pusher element by a pair of spaced apart arms, each arm extending through a respective one of the openings in frame such that pulling the graspable handle away from the front portion of the frame moves the pusher element toward the second loading/unloading side of the frame.
