Abstract
Method and apparatus for use in transporting unstable stacks of sheet material whereby releasably interconnected supports constrain the sides of the stack against slippage and such supports are positioned to provide gaps for passing strapping material about the stack.
Claims4
An apparatus for stabilizing an unstable stack of sheet material to facilitate the transportation thereof, which apparatus comprises a plurality of releasably interconnected support members disposed to engage respective sides of the stack over the height thereof to constrain the sheet material against edgewise slippage, said support members being positioned to provide gaps for passing strapping material about the stack, said support members having confronting inclined edge surfaces that are spreadable apart to establish said gaps when said surfaces are engaged by tensioned strapping material.
