Abstract
A hockey equipment drying rack that is placed in a hockey equipment carrying bag and remains in the carrying bag while functioning as a drying rack. The base of the drying rack is rectangular in shape and fits snugly against the walls of the bag, the base having arms that rotate up and out of the top of the bag. Holding devices are attached to the arms for holding wet hockey equipment in a spaced out fashion for drying. After drying, the hockey equipment remains on the holding devices as the arms cooperate to fold down into the bag for transporting.
Claims5
A hockey equipment drying rack adapted to fit into a hockey equipment carrying bag where the drying rack is intended to function as a rack for holding hockey equipment in a spaced arrangement for optimal air drying without having to remove the drying rack from the bag, comprising:
- a. a tubular base frame, rectangular in shape;
- b. a plurality of tubular arms having a proximal end pivotally connected to the base frame so that the arms cooperatively rotate between a first closed position generally located in the plane of the base frame and a second upright or extended position at a generally right angle to the plane of the base frame and the arms having a free distal end;
- c. a plurality of tubular t-pieces that attach to the free distal end of some of the tubular arms to hold and support some of the hockey equipment while drying;
- and
- d. a hanging means attached to some of the tubular arms and tubular t-pieces for releasably holding some of the hockey equipment while drying;
- wherein the rotation to the extended position of each of the tubular arms is made independently of the other tubular arms.
