Portable boot washing stand

Abstract

A portable boot washing stand for holding boots above the ground in a position to prevent the inside of the boot from getting wet during washing comprises a base and at least two boot holders. The base legs are of a size, shape, and stiffness to easily push into the ground. The boot holders each comprise a foot portion and a leg portion, wherein the foot portion is at an obtuse angle to the leg portion, and wherein the foot portion has a width which is sufficient to prevent the boot from spinning when subjected to a powerful spray of water. Further the leg portions are mounted to the base such that the leg portions are relatively parallel to the base legs.

1 . A portable boot washing stand for holding boots above the ground in a position to prevent the inside of the boot from getting wet during washing, comprising: 
 a base having at least two base legs, wherein said base legs are of a size, shape, and stiffness to easily push into the ground; and,    two boot holders, each comprising a foot portion and a leg portion, wherein said foot portion is at an obtuse angle to said leg portion, and wherein said foot portion has a width which is sufficient to prevent the boot from spinning when subjected to a powerful spray of water, and further wherein said leg portions are mounted to said base such that said leg portions are relatively parallel to the base legs.    
   
   
       2 . The potable boot washing stand of  claim 1  wherein said base further comprises a stiffening member.  
   
   
       3 . The potable boot washing stand of  claim 1  wherein said base further comprises a stiffening member, and wherein said boot holders are mounted to said stiffening member.  
   
   
       4 . The portable boot washing stand of  claim 2  wherein said boot holders are integral to said base stiffening member.  
   
   
       5 . The portable boot washing stand of  claim 1  having four base legs located relative to each other such that each would be the corner of a parallelogram.  
   
   
       6 . The portable boot washing stand of  claim 1  wherein said base legs are comprised of a wire carbon steel.  
   
   
       7 . The portable boot washing stand of  claim 1  wherein said base legs are comprised of a 3/16 wire carbon steel.  
   
   
       8 . The portable boot washing stand of  claim 1  wherein said boot holders are comprised of metal sheeting.  
   
   
       9 . The portable boot washing stand of  claim 2  wherein said base stiffening member is comprised of a steel plate.  
   
   
       10 . The portable boot washing stand wherein said boot holder foot portion has a width of approximately 3 inches.  
   
   
       11 . The portable boot washing stand of  claim 1  wherein said obtuse angle is in the range of 120° to 150°.  
   
   
       12 . The portable boot washing stand of  claim 1  wherein said base legs are integral to said boot holders.  
   
   
       13 . The portable boot washing stand of  claim 2  wherein said boot holders are comprised of a wire carbon steel, wherein said stiffening member has a top side and a bottom side, wherein said stiffening member is mounted to said boot holders such that said boot holder foot portion, and part of said boot holder leg portion extend from said stiffening member top side, and a part of said boot holder leg portion extends from said stiffening member bottom side, such that the portion of said boot holder which extends from said stiffening member bottom side functions as said base legs.  
   
   
       14 . The portable boot washing stand of  claim 2  wherein said boot holders are mounted to said stiffening member by welding.  
   
   
       15 . The portable boot washing stand of  claim 1  further comprising an add on base stand having a top and a bottom, and wherein said base stand top is adapted to receive said base legs, wherein said boot holder leg portions are in a plane relatively perpendicular to the ground, and wherein said base stand bottom is relatively perpendicular to said boot holder leg portion plane when installed, and is wide enough to prevent the boot washing stand from tipping when the boots are being washed.  
   
   
       16 . The portable boot washing stand of  claim 14  wherein said base stand is comprised of two base feet, wherein said base feet are relatively perpendicular to said boot holder leg portion plane, wherein each base foot receives a base leg from a different corresponding boot holder leg portion.  
   
   
       17 . The portable boot washing stand of  claim 14  wherein said base feet are interconnected.  
   
   
       18 . A portable boot washing stand for holding boots above the ground in a position to prevent the inside of the boot from getting wet during washing, comprising: 
 two boot holders, each comprising a foot portion and a leg portion, wherein said foot portion is at an obtuse angle to said leg portion, and wherein said foot portion has a width which is sufficient to prevent the boot from spinning when subjected to a powerful spray of water; and    a base stand having at least two base feet, wherein said base feet are of a size, shape, and stiffness to prevent said boot holders from tipping while the boots are washed, and further wherein said leg portions are mounted to said base stand such that said leg portions are relatively perpendicular to the ground.    
   
   
       19 . The portable boot washing stand of  claim 18  wherein said base stand is removable, and wherein said boot holders further comprise at least two base legs, wherein said base legs are of a size, shape, and stiffness to easily push into the ground.
