ABSTRACT:
The Vertical Storage Rack System was primarily designed to stock cases of glass without the use of wooden crates around the glass. The removable rack post units can be placed anywhere along the bottom rack rails. The removable rack post units are placed on the bottom rack rails and locked into place by a 90.degree. rotation. Then, two locking pins are dropped into the rack post base so that the removable rack post cannot be rotated out of the bottom rail. As the stock sheets of glass are depleted, the adjustable arms pivot down to take up any void caused by the stock depletion. End racks are incorporated in the storage system to store cut-off pieces of material too small to put back in the main rack system in a safe and efficient manner. The end racks also serve as rack ends of the rails acting as a barrier. The end racks protect people and material from getting hurt or damaged. The use of Tival 1000 UHMW plastic on all contact surfaces of the new adjustable vertical rack system reduces the effort by the workers to remove glass sheets from the rack system, therefore, making glass sheet handling more controllable and safer to handle.
