Abstract
A pair of hangers with padded tapering openings are attachable to a wall in a horizontal alignment to support a sports board therebetween. A spacer mount maintains the opening away from the wall to prevent contact of the board with the wall surface. Padding may be adhered to the sides of the tapered opening or molded on the surfaces. A strap may hang down from each of the pair of hangers with an adjustable loop formed in the strap to hang additional boards. The strap may clip into the hanger with the strap looped over the clip or molded to the clip during the molding process. The strap has a pad on the back side to keep the board in the loop from contacting the wall. A horizontal rail with a front slot may be attached to the wall and the pair of hangers fit adjustably along the rail.
Claims17
A double hook wall hanger system for mounting a wide range of types and sizes of recreational boards on a wall while maintaining the boards away from contact with the wall, the system comprising:
- a mounting means, a pair of hangers mounted on a wall by said mounting means adapted to receive the pair of hangers slidably mounted thereon to enable the pair of hangers to be spaced apart by a desired distance to accommodate boards of various lengths, each of the hangers comprising a spacer mount slidably attached to the mounting means, a hook element attached at a bottom of the spacer mount and angled away from the spacer mount creating a tapered board opening therebetween capable of receiving a variety of sizes and types of recreational sports boards in the tapered board opening so that a board placed in the board opening is secured with a friction fit in contact with at least one surface bordering the tapered opening, the board being spaced apart from contact with the wall;
- wherein each of the hangers is sufficiently compact and the spacer mount has a spacer mount opening therethrough directly opposite to the hook element, the spacer mount opening having an opening outline in a shape and size of the hook element so that the hanger is adapted to be manufactured from a single mold using injection molding techniques to form each single one-piece hanger;
- and
- a padding means covering a surface of the spacer mount bordering the tapered opening on each side of the spacer mount opening and covering an inside surface of the hook element bordering the tapered opening to cushion a board placed in the board opening.
