This invention provides elevating storage apparatus [10] for storing an article or articles in an elevated position from which the article(s) cannot be vertically lowered because an obstacle obscures the space therebeneath. To achieve this the article(s) which are supported on article support means [14] are moved outwardly with the article support means [14] supported by a pair of spaced apart slide assemblies [11, 12] for longitudinal movement between the stowed elevated position above the obscuring obstacle and a withdrawn elevated position forward of the obstacle. The article support means [14] is connected to the slide assemblies [11, 12] by links [52, 53] which enable the article support means to be raised and lowered between substantially vertically aligned withdrawn elevated position and the lower accessible position. Control means [60] is provided for selectively raising and lowering the article support means [14] relative to the slide assemblies [11, 12] and for moving the article support means to and from its stowed elevated position.
