Description
- The present invention relates to apparatus for storing sport equipment and more particularly the present invention is directed to a sports equipment holder that is portable, easily assembled, and disassembled, and is especially well suited for holding sports equipment such as baseball gloves, baseball bats, safety helmets, gloves, etc.
- The present invention pertains to a portable sports equipment holder for temporary storage of baseball equipment and other sports equipment during competitive games as well as practice sessions. This particular sports equipment holder is designed to be hung on to a chain link fence and is adapted for holding balls, bats, gloves, helmets, shoes, and any other sports equipment that a player may bring to a playing site. Equipment when not in use at a playing site is often times strewn along the side lines of the playing field. Such disorganization is undesirable for a variety of reasons including misplacing of equipment and potential damage to the equipment.
- The present invention contemplates a holder to temporarily store items of sports equipment at the playing or practice site. For example, when a softball or baseball team assembles to play a game, a lot of equipment is required including at least one fielding glove for each player, a number of batting helmets of different sizes, a large number of bats of various sizes, and a number of balls. Most amateur ball parks do not have adequate facilities for temporary and convenient storage of such during games. Further, it is essential that such storage facility be capable of keeping equipment in an organized and orderly fashion so that the players can quickly find the piece of equipment they require. It is also very important that any such storage system can be readily assembled and disassembled or taken down because another team is usually ready to take the field for another game as soon as one game has concluded. The teams that have just finished a game must leave the field and the dug-out area as quickly as possible.
- The present invention can also be used with other outdoor field sports such as soccer or cricket which requires an outdoor playing field, and normally has chain link fences in the vicinity.
- Different systems of shelves racking and the like have been developed in the past including some directed to this or a similar problem. Some of the patents issued in this art are listed below:
