LOCK FOR KNOCK-DOWN STORAGE RACK

摘要

The lock is attached to a connector for interconnecting a shelf-supporting beam to an upright of a knock-down storage rack. The lock includes a pin which is connected to the connector and which is slidable between locking and unlocking positions. The pin, when in the locking position, is within one of a number of openings formed in the upright with resulting locking of the upright to the connector. When the pin is in the unlocking position, it is outside the opening thus allowing the upright to be separated from the connector. The lock includes a resilient rod which is biased into a groove formed in the shank of the pin when the pin is in the locking position. The rod prevents the pin from movin g from the locking position unless a force, opposed to the bias of the rod, is applied to the pin to cause the rod to withdraw from the groove.
