Abstract
A tool storage mechanism comprising two independent chains drivingly secured about respective driving and driven pulley sets, wherein a plurality of tool storage pockets are carried on the links of said chains, and further wherein the chains are carried on a common pivotable plate, which is switchable between two preset angular positions about the pivot. When the pivotable plate is moved to position number 1, tool storage pockets on a first chain may be presented serially to a predetermined pickup point, wherein a tool changer can load or unload tools with the tool storage pocket. When the pivotable plate is positioned at position number 2, the second chain is switched to such position that its tool storage pockets may be presented serially with the tool pickup point.
