Abstract
Abstract A storage rack having hollow uprights and goods supporting beams therebetween detachably connected to the uprights in a variety of different positions. The beams have mounting hooks at their opposite ends which are constructed differently from one another. The uprights have bent-in wall sections defining opposing recessed corners in each of which a vertical row of spaced openings is provided. The two sets of vertical rows of openings in the uprights are different from one another, one set of openings only being able to receive hooks of one kind at one end of the beams and the other set of openings only being able to receive hooks of another kind at the opposite end of the beams.

In a storage rack of the class described, the combination of a. elongated load supporting beams having first and second hooklike members at opposite ends thereof, said first hooklike members extending lengthwise of said beams and said second hooklike members being substantially perpendicular to the length of said beams, b. spaced hollow uprights, the uprights being U-shaped in horizontal cross section and having bent-in wall sections at their closed ends defining recessed corners at both sides thereof which extend lengthwise of the uprights, c. said bent-in wall sections at the opposing sides of the uprights being apertured and having first and second vertical rows of spaced openings, d. structure comprising the apertured uprights for mounting said beams only in their effective load supporting positions on the rack, e. the spaced openings in the first and second vertical rows of openings in the apertured uprights of said structure being so formed and arranged in saId bent-in wall sections that the openings in the first vertical rows of openings can only receive and effectively hold said first hooklike members extending lengthwise of said beams and the openings in the second vertical rows of openings can only receive and effectively hold said second hooklike members perpendicular to the length of said beams, and, f. when said beams are mounted on the apertured uprights which are spaced on said rack to accommodate said beams, the openings in the first vertical rows of openings function to initially receive and hold said first hooklike members extending lengthwise of said beams and the openings in the second vertical rows of said openings function to subsequently receive and hold said second hooklike members perpendicular to the length of said beams.
