  • Patent number: 6394267
    Abstract: A reusable and returnable gasket rack supports gaskets during shipping and storage. The gasket rack includes a framework having a rectangular base joined to a parallel top at its corners by four perpendicular uprights. Two sets of two gasket supports spaced apart in parallel planes are mounted to the framework. Each gasket support has an upright extending perpendicularly from the base and a cross-member attached at a free end of the upright to be substantially parallel to the base. Support bars extend perpendicularly between the cross-members of each set of gasket supports and planar gasket rests lying upon the support bars. The gasket supports are sized and positioned so that one or more gaskets can be supported at top and bottom ends to prevent the gaskets from deforming or breaking. The rack is adjustable to accommodate various sized gaskets and can be disassembled into a compact package for return shipment.
