Abstract
An apparatus for storing a bat, a bat stand, may comprise a cylindrical body, a base, a ring, and a finger plate. The ring may thread to the top of the body and help secure a finger plate in the interior of the bat stand. The base of the stand may be wider than the body so as to lower the center of gravity and increase the stability of the bat stand. The finger plate may be made of a rubber base supporting a fabric top. The finger plate may have multiple fingers that help to center a bat vertically within the bat stand. In some embodiments, screws secure the ring to the body with the finger plate in between.

An apparatus for storing a bat, the apparatus comprising:
- a body having an upper half, a lower half, and one or more walls defining a cavity within the body, the cavity adapted for the vertical storage of a bat;
- a base located on the lower half of the body;
- a finger plate comprising a plurality of fingers to keep the bat centered in the body;
- and
- a ring comprising a threaded portion, the threaded portion for connecting to a correspondingly threaded portion of the body, wherein the ring and body when threaded together secure the fingerplate to the upper half of the body in a gap between the ring and the body.
An apparatus comprising:
- a cylindrical body having an upper and a lower half, the body comprising:
- a base located on the lower half of the body, and one or more walls defining a cylindrical cavity within the cylindrical body, the cavity having an interior surface;
- a finger plate comprising a plurality of fingers;
- wherein the finger plate is disposed within a gap defined by the interior surface in the cavity of the body, the gap located on the upper half of the body.
An apparatus comprising:
- a body having an upper half, a lower half, a threaded hole on a top surface of the body, and one or more walls defining a cavity within the body;
- a base wider than the body, the base located on the lower half of the body;
- a ring comprising a hole extending from a top surface of the ring to a bottom surface of the ring;
- and
- a finger plate disposed on the upper half of the body between the ring and the body, the finger plate comprising a plurality of fingers, wherein a screw may traverse the hole in the ring and thread into the threaded hole of the body thereby securing the finger plate between the ring and the body.
