AUTOMATIC AISLE LOCK<br />
Spacesaver’s mechanical assist automatic<br />
aisle lock provides a passive method of<br />
protecting users in the open aisles of mechanical<br />
assist systems that automatically locks the<br />
active aisle open with no conscious effort or<br />
thought from the user.<br />
MECHANICAL ASSIST<br />
SYSTEM OPERATION<br />
BENEFITS<br />
<strong>Mechanical</strong> assist automatic aisle lock<br />
automatically locks a new aisle open and resets<br />
the system of color-coded aisle access arrows<br />
when a user opens a new aisle five inches or<br />
more. The automatic aisle locking mechanism,<br />
activation plungers and face panel controls work<br />
together to:<br />
1. Prevent carriage movement into a protected,<br />
locked open aisle.<br />
2. Control a system of color-coded aisle access<br />
arrows on the face panels to assist users.<br />
3. Eliminate the need for manually activated<br />
safety locking devices.<br />
SYSTEM FEATURES<br />
• Totally automatic, passive lock engagement<br />
that prevents carriage bounce back<br />
• Strong, durable locking mechanism that<br />
provides silent operation<br />
• <strong>Aisle</strong> activation plungers that are located near<br />
the top of the face panels where they don’t<br />
obstruct the aisle<br />
• Simplified, manual relock and unlock features<br />
that require depressing just one button<br />
• Design flexibility that allows its use in mobile<br />
systems with aisles of any width<br />
Patent pending<br />
SYSTEM OPERATION<br />
An open aisle of a Spacesaver mobile storage<br />
system equipped with automatic aisle lock is<br />
locked open and safe to enter when the face<br />
panel controls on the carriage(s) adjacent to the<br />
open aisle display red arrows pointing to the<br />
open aisle, and all other aisle access arrows on<br />
the system’s face panels are green.<br />
To close the open aisle and access a new one, the<br />
“push to unlock” button must be depressed on<br />
the carriage that has to move into the open,<br />
locked aisle. That carriage’s aisle access arrow will<br />
then turn green, indicating that it can now be<br />
moved toward the open aisle.<br />

SYSTEM OPERATION<br />
CONTINUED<br />
Once the new aisle has been opened five inches (127 mm),<br />
red access arrows pointing in its direction indicate the<br />
new aisle’s locked, protected status. When the previously<br />
opened aisle is closed its access arrows automatically turn<br />
green showing that it is unlocked.<br />
A green access arrow(s) pointing toward an open aisle<br />
indicates that the aisle is not secured. The aisle can be<br />
manually locked open by depressing the “manual relock”<br />
button on the face panel controls. A red arrow will then<br />
be displayed showing a locked, protected status.<br />
APPLICATION<br />
<strong>Mechanical</strong> assist automatic aisle lock is available with<br />
all Spacesaver mechanical assist carriages 15" (381 mm)<br />
or wider. Minimum face panel height is 84-5/8" (2149 mm)<br />
and minimum shelving height is 76-1/4" (1936 mm) which<br />
positions the plungers 77" (1955 mm) from the base of<br />
the face panel for “people” clearance. Contact factory for<br />
lower heights.<br />
TECH SPEC<br />
<strong>Mechanical</strong> Assist <strong>Auto</strong>matic <strong>Aisle</strong> <strong>Lock</strong>:<br />
The mechanical assist automatic aisle lock shall provide<br />
a passive method of protecting users that takes no<br />
conscious effort or thought from the user to<br />
automatically lock the active aisle under normal<br />
operation. Color coded visual arrow indicators shall<br />
clearly verify that the carriages are in the locked or<br />
unlocked mode. A single unlocking button will permit<br />
moving a carriage in either direction to create a new<br />
access aisle. A manual relocking button will allow the<br />
user to relock the system, if the system has been<br />
unlocked but not moved to create a new aisle. The<br />
mechanism shall operate silently, without any ratcheting<br />
or other operating noise. Any newly selected aisle shall<br />
automatically lock open when it is opened 5" (127 mm)<br />
or more. Controls shall be located 52-3/4" (1339 mm)<br />
from the base of and centered on the face panels.<br />
