  • Patent number: 5641076
    Abstract: A storage rack for easily loading and unloading glass sheets such as vehicle windshields and windows. The storage rack includes a lower support member whereupon the glass sheets are selectively placed and supported. A plurality of arms are supported and are adapted to rotate about a common axis of rotation. Each of the arms include a spacer portion and a stop surface. When the glass sheets are loaded on the storage rack, the arms are rotated placing the spacer portions thereof between respective sheets of glass and placing the stop surfaces abutting an edge of the sheet of glass to be first removed. As the glass sheets are individually unloaded, the arms are automatically individually released and gravitationally rotated in a position away from and out of the way of the glass sheet to be next removed. The storage racks are reusable.
