DEVICE FOR STORING PARTS WITH SPACES THEREBETWEEN, ESPECIALLY FOR STORING METAL SHEETS OR PREFORMED METAL SHEETS

1. Device for storing parts (15) with spaces therebetween, especially for storing metal sheets or preformed metal sheets in a feed direction, consisting of at least one column (19), supporting arm or the like which has levers pivotable about essentially horizontal pivot pins (3) and serving as supporting arms, in which arrangement a lever located in the inactive position when a part is being stored is pivoted into its receiving position by a lever directly following in the feed direction, located in a receiving position and receiving the part, and at the same time the lever following in the feed direction is pivoted out of its receiving position into the working position, characterized in that each lever is L-shaped and has a supporting arm (1a, b, c) which serves as a long lever section for receiving load, while the short lever section serves as a stop surface (2a, b, c), and the fulcrum is arranged in the angled area, in that a cranked control lever (4a, b, c) is pivotably mounted on the pivot pin (3a, b, c) next to the supporting arm (1a, b, c), the crank of which control lever (4a, b, c), in the pivot area, has a V-shaped stop surface (5a, b, c) with which a driving pin (6a, b, c) located on the supporting arm (1a, b, c) comes into contact during the pivoting about the pivot pin (3a, b, c), and in that the front side of each control lever (4a, b, c), towards the load-receiving area, in each case has a control surface (7a, b, c) for moving the supporting arm (1a, b, c) lying in front of it in the feed direction into the receiving position and an end stop (9a, b, c) for limiting the working position of the supporting arm located on the Sine pivot pin and also, on the rear side, in each case a stop surface (8a, b, c) for limiting the inactive position of the associated supporting arm via the V-shaped stop surface (5a, b, c).
