Abstract
A device for storing cylindrical objects, such as small containers (14) containing radioactive material samples, includes one or more superimposed rotary racks (30, 30'). Each of the racks has circumferentially distributed cavities (32, 32') in which the objects are received. The cavities are radially outwardly open with respect to the vertical rotation axis of the racks (30, 30'). Moreover, their axis is inclined so as to intersect the rotation axis above the cavity. Thus, an accidental escape of the objects is prevented.
