Abstract
A storage rack to support pallets and the like includes an upright frame structure having at least one pair of generally parallel, laterally spaced support beams across which a pallet or the like is to be supported. At least one transverse support member spans the support beams. Retainers act between the support beams and opposed ends of the support member and are in the form of complimentary formations on the support beams and the support member. The formations are configured such that the support member must undergo torsion to engage the formations at its opposed ends with the complimentary formations on the support beams,
Claims20
A storage rack to support pallets comprising:
- an upright frame structure including at least one pair of generally parallel, laterally spaced support beams;
- at least one transverse support member spanning said support beams;
- and
- retaining means acting between said support beams and opposed ends of said at least one transverse support member, said retaining means being in the form of complementary formations on said support beams and said at least one transverse support member including co-operating slots and projections, the projections of said complementary formations extending in different directions such that said at least one transverse support member must undergo torsional deformation to align and engage the formations at its opposed ends with the formations on said support beams.
A storage rack to support pallets comprising:
- an upright frame structure including a plurality of pairs of generally parallel, laterally spaced support beams at different elevations;
- a plurality of transverse safety bars spanning the support beams of each pair at laterally spaced locations;
- and
- retaining means acting between the support beams and opposed ends of the safety bars, the retaining means being in the form of complementary formations on the support beams and the safety bars including cooperating slots and projections, the projections of said complementary formations extending in different directions such that the safety bars must undergo torsion to align and engage the formations at its opposed ends with the formations on the support beams.
A storage rack for supporting pallets comprising:
- a framework defined by a plurality of generally vertical uprights and pairs of generally horizontal support beams;
- and
- a plurality of laterally spaced safety bars spanning said support beams of each pair, said safety bars and support beams carrying complementary formations including co-operating slots and projections to said bars to said support beams, the projections adjacent opposed ends of said safety bars extending in different directions such that said safety bars must undergo torsion to align and engage said complementary formations.
A storage rack for supporting pallets comprising:
- a framework defined by a plurality of generally vertical uprights and pairs of generally horizontal support beams;
- each support beam having a series of spaced slots formed therein;
- and
- a plurality of laterally spaced safety bars spanning said support beams of each pair, each safety bar having a projection adjacent each end thereof to engage a slot in a support beam to retain said safety bar to said support beams, the projections at the ends of each safety bar extending in different directions such that said safety bar must undergo torsion to align and engage said projections in said slots.
