Title: Arrangement for the movement of objects within the deposit area of shelves

Abstract: An apparatus and method for moving objects across a storage area includes elongated guide means extending across the storage area along the direction of movement of the objects, frictional engagement means associated with and adapted for movement along the guide means for frictionally engaging a portion ofthe outer surface of the objects so that the frictional engagement means can simultaneously engage both the guide means and the objects and impart a condition whereby the frictional resistance between the frictional engagement means and the objects is greater than that between the objects and the support means and the frictional engagement means and the guide means for moving the objects. Alternatively, cooperating mating portions can be provided on a bar and an object engaging portion to accomplish the same results.
