Abstract
A multi-rack bracket of a vegetation and drying system includes a triangular-shaped main plate, a pair of side plates extending perpendicularly from opposing edges of the main plate, and first and second flanges extending vertically from the respective side plates and configured to capture a vertical support shaft therebetween. The multi-rack bracket is configured to secure the vertical support shaft and a pair of shafts of a leg assembly to one another.
Claims20
A multi-rack bracket for use in a vegetation hanging and drying system, the multi-rack bracket comprising:
- a main plate;
- first and second side plates extending from the main plate;
- a first flange extending from the first side plate;
- and
- a second flange extending from the second side plate, wherein the main plate, the first side plate, and the second side plate collectively define a cavity configured for receipt of a leg assembly and a vertical support shaft of the vegetation hanging and drying system, and
- wherein each of the first and second flanges has a tab extending downwardly therefrom and into the cavity to resist tilting of the vertical support shaft relative to the first and second flanges.
A vegetation hanging and drying system, comprising:
- a harvest stand including:
- a leg assembly;
- a horizontal shaft;
- and
- first and second vertical support shafts;
- a multi-rack bracket configured to secure the leg assembly to at least the first vertical support shaft, wherein the multi-rack bracket includes:
- a main plate;
- a first side plate extending from the main plate;
- a second side plate extending from the main plate;
- a first flange extending from the first side plate;
- and
- a second flange extending from the second side plate;
- and
- a pair of hanging bar brackets configured to attach to top ends of the respective first and second vertical support shafts, each of the pair of hanging bar brackets including:
- a main plate defining at least one hole configured for receipt of a fastener, the main plate of the pair of hanging bar brackets being configured to abut the top end of the respective first and second vertical support shafts;
- and
- a pair of spaced-apart fingers extending upwardly from the main plate of the hanging bar brackets.
A multi-rack bracket for use in a vegetation hanging and drying system, the multi-rack bracket comprising:
- at least one plate;
- and
- a pair of flanges extending from the at least one plate,
- wherein a cavity defined in the at least one plate is configured for receipt of a leg assembly and a vertical support shaft of the vegetation hanging and drying system, and
- wherein the pair of flanges each have a tab extending downwardly therefrom and into the cavity to resist tilting of the vertical support shaft relative the pair of flanges.
