  • a frame having a first side and an opposing second side; and

    a plurality of racks separately disposed on the frame at different levels, each rack adapted to store a flat panel, wherein each of the racks comprises;

    a plurality of rollers for supporting the flat panel, each roller capable of rotating along a rotational axis in a first direction or in an opposing second direction, wherein the rollers are motionally engaged with each other such that the rollers can be caused to rotate simultaneously; and

    a mechanical coupling mechanism disposed on the first side of the rack, the coupling mechanism motionally engaged with the rollers, wherein the coupling mechanism is adapted to engage mechanically with a movement means so that the rollers can be caused by the movement means through the coupling mechanism to rotate simultaneously in the first direction for moving the flat panel from the first side to the second side, or to rotate simultaneously in the second direction for moving the flat panel from the second side to the first side.
