A container is described herein which uses three different types of
restraining mechanisms to help secure glass sheets therein so that the
glass sheets can be safely transported from one facility (e.g., a
manufacturing facility) to a second facility (e.g., a customer facility).
The first type of restraining mechanism includes two collapsible retainer
bar mechanisms which are connected to one another by a support bar that
can be moved so as to secure the major surfaces of the glass sheets. The
second type of restraining mechanism includes two side restraints which
are used to help secure the two opposing sides of the glass sheets. The
third type of restraining mechanism includes two secondary retainer
mechanisms each of which has a stopper that is moved to help
secure/support the bottom portion of the glass sheets.
