Sportsboard Hanger

Abstract

A sportsboard hanger comprised of a loop-harness apparatus, used in pairs, for storing and displaying sportsboard-based recreational equipment used in the sportsboard industry. This sportsboard hanger invention provides a space-saving advantage at an economical cost, since the primary material is constructed of flexible strap material such as woven-nylon fabric. The sportsboard hanger incorporates an adjustable harness, which has a hooking or eye device sewn into the fabric at the attaching end of the sportsboard hanger. It is then hooked onto an eye or hook screw fastener inserted into the wall or ceiling structure for storage or display of any of the following objects in the sportsboard industry: surfboards, skis, snowboards, wake-boards, skim-boards, skateboards, sailboards, and wake surfboards.

1 . A sportsboard hanger comprised of a loop-harness apparatus, used in pairs, for storing and displaying sportsboard-based recreational equipment used in the sportsboard industry. This patent claim refers to the design/construction of the “Sportsboard-Hanger” to be used for storage or display of any of the following sportsboards: surfboards, skis, snowboards, wake-boards, skim-boards, skateboards, boogie boards, sailboards, and wake surfboards. The hanger is unique in that it can be shortened or lengthened by utilizing a sliding clip “tri-glide” device according to the user's preference. A sportsboard hanger is comprised of a sewn loop of woven-nylon or equivalent type strap webbing fabric cut to suitable lengths and assembled by machine using nylon thread. This strap-webbing fabric, ¾″ to 3″ wide, has a sliding clip device “tri-glide” (for lengthening/shortening) inserted onto the upper end surface of the strap webbing. It also includes a second fastening element, a swivel/non-swivel hook or eye, sewn into the strap-webbing fabric at the top of the hanger. This swivel/non-swivel hook, in turn, is attached to an eye or hook screw/bolt or other suitable wall attachment device for installation in a ceiling or wall structure. A sportsboard hanger is used for storage or display of a sportsboard, and includes two independent hanging devices, used in pairs, for proper installation. This allows for a hanging installation in a level linear fashion for the sportsboard to be stored, displayed, or for hanging at an attractive oblique angle, if desired.  
   
   
       2 . The sportsboard hanger in  claim 01  is also comprised of a sewn-in fabric fastener at the top of the sportsboard hanger, which is a swivel/non-swivel hook fastener or eye fastener attached to either a hook or eye fastener, and structurally attached to a ceiling or wall.  
   
   
       3 . The sportsboard hanger of  claim 01 , wherein the material that is used to make the loop is made of woven strap fabric (webbing), which provides suitable support for the sportsboard.  
   
   
       4 . The sportsboard hanger of  claim 01 , wherein said elongated strap is a single length of woven fabric webbing sewn together forming a loop.  
   
   
       5 . The sportsboard hanger of  claim 01 , wherein the sportsboard hanger is equipped with a tri-glide adjustable device, enabling the woven strap fabric to be manually lengthened/shortened according to the proportional dictates of the board being hung or the surface from which the sportsboard is being hung, such as a sloped ceiling installation which allows for a level display of the sportsboard, or for hanging at an attractive oblique angle, if desired.  
   
   
       06 . The sportsboard hanger of  claim 01 , wherein the sportsboard is at least one of a surfboard, ski, snowboard, wake-board, skim-board, skateboard, boogie board, sailboard, or wake surfboard.
