  • Patent number: 6827226
    Abstract: The apparatus comprises two gripping members, with a distance between them that is greater than the minimum width of the sportboard that is to be held therein, and lesser than the maximum width of the sportboard. A narrow part of the sportboard is placed between the two gripping members, and the sportboard is lowered until a wider part rests on the gripping member. The edges of the gripping members grip the board and hold it in the apparatus. The distance between the gripping member may be adjustable, to hold boards of different sizes. The apparatus may have a center member with gripping edges, which functions to divide in two the space between the gripping members so that a pair of skis can be held in the apparatus. The apparatus is particularly useful for the storage of snowboards and skis.

  • Publication number: 20040108286
    Abstract: This invention discloses a storage apparatus for sportboards of variable width, which is mountable onto a supporting surface. The apparatus comprises two gripping members, with a distance between them that is greater than the minimum width of the sportboard that is to be held therein, and lesser than the maximum width of the sportboard. A narrow part of the board is placed between the two gripping members, and the board is lowered until a wider part rests on the gripping members. The edges of the gripping members grip the board and hold it in the apparatus. In one embodiment, the distance between the gripping members is adjustable, so that boards of different sizes may be held in the apparatus. In an alternative embodiment designed to hold two sportboards such as a pair of skis, the apparatus comprises a center member with gripping edges, which functions to divide in two the space between the gripping members so that a pair of skis can be held in the apparatus.
