Abstract
Storage apparatus for flexible discs or other articles (13) includes a housing (11) and a mechanism in the housing having a carrier or a series of carriers for holding the articles. The carrier comprises a slider (35) constrained within the housing to move rectilinearly relative thereto and a lever (37) pivotally connected with the housing and coupled with the slider for movement in conjunction therewith from a storage position to an access position. The carrier is adapted to displace articles differentially during movement to the access position. Retaining means such as a pin and slot coupling (90, 91) are provided on the carrier and the position of the carrier is maintained when in the access position by the weight of articles held therein acting on the retaining means.
