Abstract
Device for the storage, insertion, and removal of containers in and, respectively, from a secured space, with racks (14) exhibiting storage sites (16) for the containers, arranged in tiers in superposition. The containers are retained in the racks (14) by respectively one detent spring (35). During transporting of the racks (14), the detent springs (35) are locked by locking elements (44), and the containers are thereby secured in the racks (14). The unlocking of the containers takes place automatically, only after complete introduction of the racks (14) into the secured space, by an unlocking element (65) that is moved into a lock (47) by a bar (67) abutting against a stop (73).
