Claim 1

A storage rack structure or the like including a column to which a structural member is attached, said column having first and second generally parallel surfaces which surfaces have aligned holes located at spaced vertical intervals, said structural member including first and second walls disposed generally at right angles to each other and having elongated slot means in said first wall, bolt means extending through aligned holes and through said slot means, locking nut means mated with said bolt means and holding said first wall in tight contact with said first surface, generally L-shaped connecting means including first and second legs having threaded ends, said first leg extending through aligned holes with its free end protruding through said slot means and said second leg extending past a generally horizontal edge of said second wall, an apertured clip carried by said second leg and engaging said horizontal edge of said second wall, and nut means in threaded connection with each said threaded end, whereby adjustment of said nut means on said second leg moves said clip and effects precise changes in the relative vertical alignment of said column and said structural member and whereby thereafter tightening of said nut means on said first leg clamps said column between said clip and said slotted first wall.
