Rack assembly apparatus

A rack assembly comprised of a plurality of connection members, transverse beams and panels wherein each connection member is comprised of a base having flat opposing surfaces, at least one pair of parallel, spaced apart panel support plates extending perpendicular from one of said flat surfaces to define a panel fitting groove therebetween, an engaging protuberance extending from said base adjacent an edge thereof and being located in said groove between said plates, at least one transverse beam fitting groove formed in said base adjacent one of said plates, an engaging protuberance located at the bottom of said transverse beam fitting groove, each of said panels having a rectilinear configuration with at least one engaging notch formed in an edge thereof in closely spaced relation to a corner thereof for engagement with the protuberance in the panel fitting groove when a corner of said panel is located in said panel fitting groove and said transverse beam having an engaging notch disposed adjacent each end thereof for engagement with said protuberance in said transverse beam fitting groove when an end of said transverse beam is disposed in said transverse beam fitting groove.
