- (a) a generally planar chain link fence panel (200) disposed in an erect position, wherein the chain link fence panel (200) comprises a plurality of formed chain link fence wires (210) intertwined to form a mesh chain link fence surface (220), wherein the chain link fence panel (200) comprises a plurality of generally diamond-shaped chain link fence openings (230) disposed in a symmetrical pattern between the chain link fence wires (210);
- and
- (b) a base member (300) having a base anterior surface (310), a base posterior surface (320), a base top (330), a base first side (340), a base second side (350), and a base bottom (360), wherein the base top (330) is directly on the opposing side to the base bottom (360) relative to the base member (300);
- wherein the base member (300) comprises a top attachment tongue (400) disposed on the base posterior surface (320) proximal to the base top (330), wherein the top attachment tongue (400) projects out and away from the base posterior surface (320);
- wherein the top attachment tongue (400) comprises a top attachment tongue first groove (412) disposed on a top attachment tongue first side (410) and a top attachment tongue second groove (422) disposed on an opposing top attachment tongue second side (420), wherein the top attachment tongue first groove (412) comprises a first groove width (414) for engaging one of the chain link fence wires (210), wherein the top attachment tongue second groove (422) comprises a second groove width (424) for engaging one of the chain link fence wires (210), wherein the first groove width (414) is not equal to the second groove width (424);
- wherein a top attachment tongue neck (430) is disposed between the top attachment tongue first groove (412) and the top attachment tongue second groove (422) on the top attachment tongue (400), wherein a top attachment tongue first tab (418) is formed on the top attachment tongue (400) via the top attachment tongue first groove (412) and the top attachment tongue neck (430), wherein a top attachment tongue second tab (428) is formed on the top attachment tongue (400) via the top attachment tongue second groove (422) and the top attachment tongue neck (430);
- wherein the base member (300) flares from the top attachment tongue (400) forming a first side shoulder (342) on the base first side (340) and a second side shoulder (352) on the base second side (350), wherein the base first side (340) and the base second side (350) taper towards each other down to the base bottom (360);
- wherein a shelf (600) is disposed on the base anterior surface (310) at a location between the base top (330) and the base bottom (360), and between the base first side (340) and base second side (350), wherein the shelf (600) projects away from the base anterior surface (310);
- wherein a slotted bat hook (630) having a bat hook first side (644) and a bat hook second side (646) is disposed on the base bottom (360), wherein the slotted bat hook (630) projects out and away from the base anterior surface (310), wherein the slotted bat hook (630) comprises a slot (632) disposed between the bat hook first side (644) and the bat hook second side (646) for receiving a handle of a bat;
- wherein for use, the top attachment tongue (400) of the base member (300) is inserted into one of the chain link fence openings (230) and interlocked with the chain link fence panel (200) via the top attachment tongue first groove (412) and the top attachment tongue second groove (422) engaging the chain link fence wires (210), wherein the base posterior surface (320) faces the chain link fence surface (220).
