Weight equalized foldable bat rack

A bat rack with a first, open, configuration attachable to an open weave fence for the storage of baseball bats and a second, closed, configuration for transporting the rack, comprising:

• a first and second support bar for receiving a plurality of bats, each having front and rear edges, spaced ends, an upper surface, and forward opening recesses spaced along its length and communicating with said front edge to separately receive and hold each bat in a substantially vertical position, each recess having a width smaller than the width of the handle knob of the bat;
• a first and second hanger pivotally connected to said first support bar, each hanger including a forward opening hook attachable to the open weave fence, said hangers being positionable normal to said upper surface in the first open configuration of said bat rack, and said hooks being engageable with the fence at a point forward of said rear edge and above said upper surface, and said hangers also being rotatable to a position parallel to and contacting said upper surface of said first support bar in the second closed configuration of said bat rack;
• a hinge disposed between said first and second support bars and attached near adjacent joined ends of said first and second support bars, said adjacent joined ends abutting in the first configuration thereof;
• a third hanger pivotally connected to said second support bar near the free end thereof, said third hanger also including a forward opening hook attachable to the open weave fence forward of said rear edge of said second support bar;
• whereby in the first open configuration thereof the moments tending to tilt the bat rack are partially equalized by said hangers engaging said open weave fence forward of said rear edge of each support bar and whereby said bat rack is foldable to a size of lesser overall dimensions in the second configuration thereof.
