An apparatus for storing piece goods contains chassis with mounting supports, which are movable along a guideway constituted by two semicircles and two linear portions interconnecting these. The movement takes place in both directions. In order to permit a good space utilization and a high access speed, the piece good mounting supports are forcibly guided in such a way that the initiation of the rotary movement for the mounting supports takes place in shock-free manner.

Apparatus for storing piece goods, particularly data carrier cassettes, comprising: a guideway forming a closed movement path defined by circular arcs and linear portions connecting the circular arcs; a plurality of chassis movable in at least one direction along the guideway, at least one mounting support for holding a single piece good being attached on each of the plurality of chassis in a rotary manner about a vertical axis; a driving means for driving the plurality of chassis in a controlled manner for bringing a selected one of the chassis to a controlled manner for bringing a selected one of the chassis in a location where a piece good can be removed from or inserted into a corresponding selected mounting support; and, each of the chassis having a push rod and a steering lever associated therewith, the push rod for each chassis being non-rotatably fixed relative to the chassis and pivotally fixed to the steering lever of an adjacent chassis at a pivot point spaced laterally from said vertical axis, the mounting supports being coupled in non-rotary manner relative to the chassis and relative to the push rod, whereby the mounting supports are forcibly guided such that rotary movement of the mounting supports is initiated in shock-free manner in the vicinity of a transition between the linear portion and the curved portion of the movement path and is ended in shock-free manner in the vicinity of a transition between the curved portion and the linear portion of the movement path.
