Patent
CA 2358165
Sheets, e.g. glass sheets are secured on shipping racks using wooden lash boards or other disposable material, e.g. cardboard. The disposal of the lash boards and cardboard poses environmental waste disposal problems. The instant invention provides a solution to the problem. More particularly, in a non-limiting embodiment of the invention, a packaging restraint includes a first leg and a second leg arranged to have a generally L shaped configuration. Each leg has a compressible inner surface to engage portions of the glass sheet stack, e.g. at a corner of the stack. The compressible inner surface prevents marring of the engaged portion of the glass sheets. The outer surface of the restraint is made of a material harder than the inner surface and has an attachment thereto to capture banding when the restraint is biased against the glass sheets. The hard outer surface provides structural stability to the restraint. The restraint is small in size compared to the lash board and is reusable thereby eliminating the disposal problem.
