  • Patent number: 5027960
    Abstract: A rack for storing elongated articles is formed of flexible nylon webbing and a number of clasp-like connectors. A main support strap bears the weight of all the stored items, which are individually secured to the main support strap by loops formed by joining the free ends of lengths of webbing, the opposite ends of which are affixed to the main support strap. The hanger straps of the present invention do not need to be connected to a wall, but instead can be suspended from any point on the ceiling. When not in use, the hanger straps can be rolled up into a compact pack for storage or shipment.
