ABSTRACT:
An indexable glass shipping apparatus that can be used in conjunction with reusable steel racks or other glass shipment racks. The apparatus includes a catalog made up of a plurality of sheets of shock absorbent material, spaced from each other to accommodate glass panes between. The sheets are fastened together by a series of fasteners located along a lower edge of the catalog. In one embodiment, the lower edge is journaled to conform to the shape of a steel rack, to minimize any risk of longitudinal movement of the catalog on the rack. The sheets of the catalog may be indexed to facilitate selection of glass panes. In addition, an outer protective cover is provided, that is secured to the outside of the catalog after it is mounted on the glass shipment rack. The lower edge of the cover is supplied with a pair of camming levers that engage longitudinal rails of the glass shipment rack, and the upper end of the cover is supplied with a quick release strap mechanism that allows ready access to glass panes in the catalog.
