  • Patent number: 4202452
    Abstract: A rack for supporting curved or flat glass, such as multi-curved automobile windshields, utilizes upstanding support members in combination with pneumatically inflatable hose to support the windshields in a vertical position. The hose is arranged in a serpentine fashion over the exterior surface of each of the upstanding members, so that a hose segment is facing each major surface of the windshield. With no pressure in the hose, the glass is arranged in the rack and the hose is inflated causing the hose to expand and contact the glass, thereby supporting and cushioning the glass.
