Transporting frame for large glass sheet stacks - has bracket for stack securing, using straps with upper ends attached to securing loops

摘要

The frame is in the shape of an inverted V, with the sheets resting against its sloping sides, and resting on cross channels projecting at the base. For transport, the sheets, which rest against resilient pads (6) are secured by plastics straps (10) secured by brackets (22) to the tops (2) of the frame sections (1) and to other fittings at the bottom. The upper brackets are loops made from rod, which hook over projecting plates (25) on the frame at one end and are secured by tubular members (20) to the tops of vertical bars (8) at the other end. These bars lock against the outside of the stacks, and are attached at the bottom by sliding joints to the base channels to match the thickness of the stacks. The top and bottom of each strap is attached to a tensioning buckle.
