Abstract:
A backstop bracket which can be removably secured to a support member of a pallet rack limits the distance a load can travel along the pallet rack. When installed on the support member of the pallet rack, the bracket allows for uniform pallet placement on the pallet rack and maintains a predetermined distance between the load on the pallet rack and an adjacent structure, for example, another pallet rack, a wall or a column, to define a vertical flue space for air circulation and fire prevention purposes. The bracket is preferably formed of steel or other suitable metal or, in the alternative, can comprise an elastomeric material including a high impact plastic.

Claim (Index 22):
A backstop bracket for removable connection to a support member of a pallet rack for limiting the distance a load on the pallet rack can travel along the pallet rack comprising:\n a horizontal plate member having a first end, a second end, an upper surface and a lower surface; a front portion extending from the first end of the horizontal plate member downwardly relative to the lower surface of the horizontal plate member for engaging a first surface of the support member of the pallet rack; a rear portion extending from the second end of the horizontal plate member upwardly relative to the upper surface of the horizontal plate member to form a stop member, a vertical plate member substantially parallel to the front portion and the rear portion, the vertical plate member extending downwardly from the lower surface of the horizontal plate member and including an offset portion for engaging a second surface of the support member, a brace member between the lower surface of the horizontal plate member and an outer surface of the vertical plate member, whereby the stop member maintains a predetermined distance between the load on the pallet rack and an adjacent structure to define a vertical flue space for air circulation and fire prevention purposes.
