Abstract
A rack for supporting and displaying recreational boards wherein at least a portion of design features of each of the recreational boards is simultaneously available for visual inspection. The rack includes mounting members, an elongated support member, and securing members. The angle of and distance between each securing member is such that at least a portion of design features for each recreational board is simultaneously visible.
Claims20
An apparatus that is arranged to support and display recreational boards, comprising:
- a first elongated support member;
- at least one mounting member that is attached to the first elongated support member such that the first elongated support member is mountable to a substantially vertical surface by at least one mounting member;
- a first securing member with a first end attached at an angle to the first elongated support member and a second end having a first hooked portion that has a spacing adapted for holding a recreational board having an edge positioned within the first hooked portion and an opposite edge positioned substantially adjacent and perpendicular to the first elongated support member;
- and
- a second securing member positioned a distance from the first securing member along the first elongated support member, the second securing member having a first end attached at substantially the same angle to the first elongated support member and a second end having a second hooked portion with substantially the same spacing of the first securing member adapted for holding another recreational board having an edge positioned within the second hooked portion and an opposite edge positioned substantially adjacent and perpendicular to the first elongated support member, wherein the angles of and distances between the first and second securing members are such that at least a portion of design features for each of the recreational boards are simultaneously visible.

A method of manufacturing a rack for supporting and displaying recreational boards, comprising:
- attaching at least one mounting member to a first elongated support member such that the first elongated support member is mountable to a substantially vertical surface by at least one mounting member;
- attaching a first securing member to the first elongated support member at an angle to the first elongated support member, wherein the first securing member includes a hooked portion that has a spacing adapted to hold an edge of a recreational board;
- and
- attaching a second securing member to the first elongated support member at substantially the same angle to the elongated support member of the first securing member and at a distance from the first securing member such that at least a portion of design features of each of the recreational boards is simultaneously visible.

A rack that is arranged to support and display recreational boards, comprising:
- a means for supporting the recreational boards extending substantially perpendicular to the associated length of the recreational boards;
- a means for mounting the rack to a substantially vertical surface that is attached to the means for supporting;
- a first means for securing a first recreational board attached at an angle to the means for supporting and having a first hooked means with a spacing adapted for holding an edge associated with the first recreational board;
- and
- a second means for securing a second recreational board attached at an angle to the means for supporting and having a second hooked means with a spacing adapted for holding an edge associated with the second recreational board, and the second means for securing is positioned a distance from the first securing means such that at least a portion of design features of each of the recreational boards is simultaneously visible.
