Abstract
A fishing pole organizer for storing and organizing one or more fishing poles on a boat deck includes a plurality of elongated channel members arranged in side-by-side and spaced-apart relationship with one another defining a plurality of upwardly directed channels, wherein each upwardly directed channel is formed between adjacent channel members and is configured to receive a fishing pole therein. The elongated channel members may include a planar top surface facilitating standing or walking on the fishing pole organizer. The upwardly directed channels may be tapered to snugly receive a fishing pole and optimize the space occupied by the fishing pole organizer on a boat deck or other location.
Claims15
A fishing pole organizer for storing and organizing one or more fishing poles on a boat deck, said fishing pole organizer comprising:
- a plurality of interconnected, elongated channel members, the plurality of elongated channel members elongately formed along a horizontal and proximal-to-distal, longitudinal direction, the elongated channel members arranged in side-by-side and spaced-apart relationship with one another along a horizontal and left-to-right, transverse direction generally perpendicular to the longitudinal direction defining a plurality of upwardly directed channels;
- wherein
- each upwardly directed channel of the plurality of upwardly directed channels is formed between transversely adjacent elongated channel members of the plurality of elongated channel members and is configured to receive a fishing pole therein through a respective elongated top opening of said each upwardly directed channel such that the fishing pole extends generally longitudinally along said each upwardly directed channel;
- wherein
- the fishing pole organizer is configured to adopt a working configuration in which:
- the fishing pole organizer is arranged resting on a generally horizontal surface and the respective elongated top opening of said each upwardly directed channel is oriented upward and arranged opposite to the generally horizontal surface, and further in which,
- the plurality of elongated channel members observed in top plan view is tapered in the longitudinal direction from a proximal end of the plurality of elongated channel members to a distal end of the plurality of elongated channel members, with said proximal end of the plurality of elongated channel members being wider than said distal end of the plurality of elongated channel members, and
- each upwardly directed channel observed in top plan view is tapered in the longitudinal direction from a proximal end of said each upwardly directed channel to a distal end of said each upwardly directed channel, with said proximal end of said each upwardly directed channel being wider than said distal end of said each upwardly directed channel.
