Abstract
Abstract A support is adapted to receive a rollable object in a normal position behind a stop. Means responsive to the application of rearward force to the object are provided behind the object. When a rearward force is applied to the object, the means impart sufficient forward motion to the object to permit the object to roll over the stop, at which point the object is readily retrievable.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 18
Claim 1
Independent Claim
83 words
A storage device for a rollable object comprising a support, a stop on said support, said support being adapted to receive said object in a normal position behind said stops and means responsive to the application of rearward force to said object, disposed behind said object, for imparting sufficient forward motion to the object to permit the object to roll over the stop, said means responsive being a ramp providing a substantially continuously supportive surface along the path of travel of said object.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
83 words
A storage device for a rollable object comprising a support, a stop on said support, said support being adapted to receive said object in a normal position behind said stops and means responsive to the application of rearward force to said object, disposed behind said object, for imparting sufficient forward motion to the object to permit the object to roll over the stop, said means responsive being a ramp providing a substantially continuously supportive surface along the path of travel of said object.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
12 words
A device as in claim 1 wherein said stop is a ridge.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
50 words
A device as in claim 1 further including spacing means disposed behind said means responsive whereby when the device is placed on a storage shelf having a back the spacing means will prevent contact of the rollable object with the back when a rearward force is applied to the object.

Claim 7
Dependent Claim
83 words
A storage device for a rollable object comprising a support, a stOp on said support, said support being adapted to receive said object in a normal position behind said stop, means responsive to the application of rearward force to said object, disposed behind said object, for imparting sufficient forward motion to the object to permit the object to roll over the stop, said means for imparting being an arm and a spring urging the arm forward against the object and towards said stop.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
83 words
A storage device for a rollable object comprising a support, a stOp on said support, said support being adapted to receive said object in a normal position behind said stop, means responsive to the application of rearward force to said object, disposed behind said object, for imparting sufficient forward motion to the object to permit the object to roll over the stop, said means for imparting being an arm and a spring urging the arm forward against the object and towards said stop.
