Abstract
A connector is configured to securely hold two twin-column supporting posts of an upper and a lower side supporter of a sectional rack to a linearly connected position. With the connector, the side supporters having twin-column supporting posts of the rack could be assembled from two or more shortened units. The shortened units of side supporters allow the disassembled rack to be packed into a largely reduced volume to facilitate convenient and economical transport and storage of the rack.
