ABSTRACT:
A metal connecting corner used in assembling a rack frame comprises three leg portions with each one of the leg portions of the connecting corner having three inner slots, each slot accepting a metal rail having a plurality of holes. Each slot is supported by a double-sided overlapping tapered reinforcing rib. The connecting corner further comprises a rail stop embossment which prevents each one of the rails in each one of the slots from making contact with another rail in another slot of the connecting corner. The connecting corner further comprises a corner base having four holes and a supplemental threaded hole. Each leg portion of each connecting corner has four holes which match up, and align, with the holes at each end of each of the metal rails, and a plurality of fasteners are used to secure each end of each rail in the connecting corner.
