The rack having a base member supporting a plurality of straight tubular pieces, right angle tubular pieces, and obtuse angle tubular pieces for supporting the equipment in spaced relationship to one another. The rack supporting the equipment to allow for a compact arrangement in which the wet sports equipment can be cleaned and dried and the equipment displayed in a way that mirrors where the equipment is used on the human body so that one can easily and quickly tell if all of his equipment is present. Further, the rack has a mechanism for transporting the rack without lifting it and enclosing the equipment and rack during transportation to shield the equipment from the elements.
Claims18
An improved rack for supporting varied sports equipment in spaced relationship to each other, the rack comprising:
- a plurality of straight tubular pieces;
- a plurality of right angle tubular pieces, the right angle tubular pieces cooperating with some of the straight tubular pieces to form vertical and horizontal supports for some of the equipment;
- and
- a plurality of obtuse angle tubular pieces, the obtuse angle tubular pieces cooperating with others of the straight tubular pieces to form angular supports for others of the equipment and to space such equipment by such angular supports.
A sports equipment rack for supporting varied sports equipment in spaced relationship to each other, the rack comprising:
- base means for supporting the rack;
- two lower dog-leg shaped support members having a lower vertical portion, an upper vertical portion and a middle angled portion therebetween, each of the portions having an upper end, lower end and a mid-section therebetween, the lower end of the lower vertical support portions mounted to the base means;
- a lower horizontal support member having two ends and a mid-section therebetween, each end connected to a different one of the dog-leg support member lower vertical portion mid-sections;
- an intermediate horizontal support member having two ends and a mid-section therebetween, each end connected to a different one of the dog-leg support member upper vertical portion mid-sections;
- an upper vertical support member having an upper end, a lower end and a mid-section therebetween, the lower end mounted to the intermediate horizontal support member mid-section;
- and
- an upper horizontal support member having two ends and a mid-section therebetween, one of the two ends mounted to the upper vertical support member mid-section.
An improved rack for supporting varied sports equipment in spaced relationship to each other, the rack comprising:
- a central stanchion member located in a generally vertical plane, the central stanchion member having an upper and a lower end and a mid-section therebetween;
- a pair of leg members having a plurality of joints forming hips, knees and ankles, the leg members coupled to the lower end of the central stanchion;
- a pair of feet members coupled one each to the pair of leg members whereby the feet members support the rack;
- a head member mounted to the upper end of the stanchion member;
- arm members mounted to the stanchion member proximate the upper end and forming a shoulder portion and an elbow portion, whereby some of the varied sports equipment will be supported on the rack;
- and
- a plurality of support members coupled to the leg members and arm members for supporting some other of the varied sports equipment.
