ABSTRACT:
A rack has a front wall and back wall connected to a base to secure glass sheets in the rack on edge tilted toward the back wall. The front restraints are mounted on the front gate and sheet support members mounted on the rear gate to secure the sheets in position on the rack. The front gate and/or rear gate each have a pair of spaced posts with each of the posts having an end insertable in cavities provided on the base. Each of the insertion ends of the posts has a hole in one surface and an opposite sloping surface. The front gate and back gate are mounted on the base by positioning the insertion end on the edge of the cavity and tilting the gates to the vertical position to drop the insertion end of the posts in the cavities. A pin in each of the cavities passes into the hole at the insertion end of the posts to secure the gates on the base.
The front restraints and sheet support members include an elongated tube having a plurality of collars rotatably mounted therein.
