Abstract:
1. A shipping rack cart for supporting multiple L-frame racks, the L-frame racks each for supporting a plurality of glass sheets, the shipping rack cart comprising: first, second, and third substantially parallel and horizontally oriented elongated frame members, wherein the second elongated frame member is located between and substantially coplanar with the first and third elongated frame members, and wherein the first, second and third elongated frame members are adapted to be oriented substantially parallel to the ground; first, second, and third substantially parallel and horizontally oriented elongated cross-frame members, wherein the first, second and third cross-frame members are oriented substantially perpendicular to the first, second and third elongated frame members, and wherein the second elongated cross-frame member is located between and substantially coplanar with the first and third elongated cross-frame members, and wherein the first, second and third elongated cross-frame members are adapted to be oriented substantially parallel to the ground; first and second substantially parallel and elongated end frame members, each of the first and second elongated end frame members being substantially parallel to the first, second and third cross-frame members, wherein the first end frame member is located proximate one end of the shipping rack cart and the second end frame member is located at an opposite end of the shipping rack cart; first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth vertically oriented locator projections for engaging and positioning L-frame racks on the shipping rack cart; wherein the first, second, third and fourth vertically oriented locator projections are substantially linearly aligned when viewed from above; wherein the fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth vertically oriented locator projections are substantially linearly aligned when viewed from above, and wherein when viewed from above a straight line drawn through the first, second, third and fourth locator projections would be substantially parallel to another straight line drawn through the fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth locator projections; wherein the second and third locator projections are located close to each other and are separated from each other by a first distance; wherein centers of the first and second locator projections are separated from each other by a second distance, and wherein centers of the third and fourth projections are separated from each other by substantially the second distance; wherein the sixth and seventh locator projections are located close to each other and are separated from each other by substantially the first distance; wherein centers of the fifth and sixth locator projections are separated from each other by substantially the second distance, and wherein centers of the seventh and eighth projections are separated from each other by substantially the second distance, wherein the second distance is substantially greater than the first distance; and wherein the first, second and third cross-frame members are coplanar with the first, second and third elongated frame members.
