ABSTRACT:
A sheet restraint for a sheet shipping rack includes a first elongated tube rotatably mounted on a second elongated tube. The second tube has U-shaped member secured to each end to capture the first tube on the second tube while allowing the first member to rotate relative to the second member. A resilient elongated sheet engaging member is secured to the first member. A pair of spaced pins are mounted on the first member and engageable with the U-shaped member to limit rotation of the first member about the second member so that the rotational path of the sheet engaging member and first tube is limited. The engaging members on the second tube are slideable mounted to spaced standards at the front of a rack. In this manner the front restraint moves toward the base into engagement with the outermost sheet of a stack of sheets on the rack to maintain the sheets as an integral pack. During shipment, the movement of the sheets and rack by the transportation forces and any space resulting from such movement is taken up by the front restraints as it moves downwardly toward the base.
To unload the sheets from the rack the front restraint is urged upward away from the base and removable from the standards at the front of the rack.
