ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE The present invention relates to a storage and transportation rack for stacking and transporting generally flat components, comprising a framework mechanism; a plurality of support columns attached to the framework mechanism, the support columns including bearing slots; and a plurality of support arm assemblies pivotally disposed in selected ones of the bearing slots of the support columns. The support arm assemblies are positionable between a rest position and an extended position so that when a support arm assembly is in the extended position, the support arm assembly supports at least a portion of the flat component. Further the support arm assemblies have a length and shape such that they can be positioned in the bearing slots which are at least one of adjacent to one another and spaced at least one bearing slot apart, whereby when a component is placed on one of the support arm assemblies, the support arm assembly is rotated from an intermediate position, which is between the rest and the extended positions, to the extended position. During such movement a portion of the support arm assembly cooperates with a portion of the adjacent support arm assembly to move the adjacent support arm assembly from the rest position to an intermediate position capable of receiving the next component. Further, the support arm assemblies are adjustable in the bearing slots for allowing the rack to carry components of differing dimensions and the rack is designed so that the components can be transported horizontally, vertically or many other orientations. - 20 -
