<p>A rack (21) for hanging workpieces in industrial coating systems having a horizontal bar or beam (23) with an upper flange (29), a lower flange (31), and a web (33) joining those flanges (29,31), wherein the upper flange (29) has a hook receiving aperture (35), and the lower flange (31) has a hook receiving slot (37). The aperture (35) and the slot (37) are aligned to receive a hook (27) from which a workpiece may be hung. The hook (27) is bent near its upper end to form a spring with a terminal leg (39) and a depending leg (41). The end of the terminal leg (39) extends into the aperture (35) in the upper flange (29), and the depending leg (41) extends through the slot (37) in the lower flange (31), behind a detent (43). The force of the spring biases the depending leg (41) against release from behind the detent (43). <IMAGE></p> |
