Abstract
Abstract A rack for heavy steel coils has a pair of spaced parallel reinforced frame members with a plurality of secondary frame members positioned therebetween and transversely positioned angle members having stake pocket engaging configurations on their outer ends positioned at each of the ends of the spaced parallel reinforced frame members and secured thereto. Built up wooden coil cushioning members are positioned in oppositely disposed relation on the inner sides of the spaced parallel reinforced frame members for directly receiving and holding heavy steel coils.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
102 words
A coil rack for a trailer having a flat bed portion with openings therein and consisting of a pair of spaced longitudinally extending parallel frame members arranged longitudinally of said flat bed portion for receiving a coil with its axis parallel thereto, means extending between and engaging and holding said spaced parallel frame members in spaced parallel relation and a pair of transversely positioned secondary frame members joined to the opposite ends of said spaced parallel frame members, depending members on said transversely positioned secondary frame members arranged to engage said openings so as to hold said coil rack on said trailer.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
102 words
A coil rack for a trailer having a flat bed portion with openings therein and consisting of a pair of spaced longitudinally extending parallel frame members arranged longitudinally of said flat bed portion for receiving a coil with its axis parallel thereto, means extending between and engaging and holding said spaced parallel frame members in spaced parallel relation and a pair of transversely positioned secondary frame members joined to the opposite ends of said spaced parallel frame members, depending members on said transversely positioned secondary frame members arranged to engage said openings so as to hold said coil rack on said trailer.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
34 words
The coil rack of claim 1 and wherein the parallel frame members have vertical walls in opposed relation and blocking members located therebetween and against said vertical walls and arranged to support said coil.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
28 words
The coil rack of claim 1 and wherein the parallel frame members are cross sectionally angular and braces are secured thereto so as to maintain said angular shape.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
70 words
The coil rack of claim 1 and wherein the parallel frame members are cross sectionally angular with vertical portions thereof defining opposed walls and horizontal portions thereof extending outwardly oppositely therefrom and triangular braces are secured between said vertical and horizontal portions so as to maintain said angular shape, blocks positioned along the upper edge of said vertical portions to increase the effective height thereof in longitudinally spaced areas thereof.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
26 words
The coil rack of claim 1 and wherein said secondary frame members are joined to said parallel frame members at the ends thereof and extend therebeyond.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
40 words
The coil rack of claim 1 and wherein said means extending between and engaging said parallel frame members consists of transversely positioned members in tension arrangement so as to prevent said parallel frame members from moving away from one another.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
85 words
The combination of an over-the-road trailer having a flat bed and openings along the sides thereof and a coil rack consisting of a pair of parallel frame members arranged longitudinally of said flat bed for receiving a coil with its axis parallel thereto, cross frame members joining said parallel frame members, some of said cross frame members extending outwardly beyond said parallel frame members, depending members formed on the extending cross frame members and engaged in said openings in said flat bed of said trailer.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
85 words
The combination of an over-the-road trailer having a flat bed and openings along the sides thereof and a coil rack consisting of a pair of parallel frame members arranged longitudinally of said flat bed for receiving a coil with its axis parallel thereto, cross frame members joining said parallel frame members, some of said cross frame members extending outwardly beyond said parallel frame members, depending members formed on the extending cross frame members and engaged in said openings in said flat bed of said trailer.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
38 words
The combination set forth in claim 7 and wherein the trailer has a depressed section defining said flat bed so as to permit carrying of coils of greater diameter on said coil rack within a predetermined overhead clearance.
