GLASS FASTENER SYSTEM

摘要

A system, device and method for securing large glass sheets to a rack for transportation with improved safety and efficiency over existing systems and methods. The system utilizes a unique swivel cap which can be retrofitted to an existing glass transportation rack having vertical supports secured to a transportable base surface so as to be capable of retaining a plurality of large glass sheets in a substantially upright or angled position. The swivel cap is positioned atop each vertical support, each swivel cap including at least one stud for anchoring a tie-down cable such that each anchored tie-down cable is capable of pivoting about the stud. A plurality of the tie-down cables are pivotably anchored by a first end to a stud and configured to releasably couple by a second end to the transportable base surface.
