  • Patent number: 6948627
    Abstract: In baseball and softball, as well as other sports, equipment such as helmets, caps, and ball gloves are worn by the players, but not necessarily throughout the entire duration of a game. When not being worn, this equipment should be organized by hanging it up. However, hooks for hanging equipment are not universally available at all ball diamonds and other sports fields. A scissor-folding hanger made of light material such as PVC pipe and made to hang on a fence provides the needed storage space. Such a hanger is light and folds into a very small package, enhancing its portability. The strength of the rack can be varied by using larger or smaller diameter pipe for its construction. The scissor-folding sports-gear hanger is a flexible solution to the storage needs on the sports-field.
