Abstract
A rack for organizing, protecting, and storing various sports equipment has a backboard, a receptacle for holding a beverage container, at least one equipment hook, a bat holder hook, at least one flexible member such as a securing strap, an optional hanging hole, and a decorative area. The backboard supports the other components and contains points of attachment for the securing strap. The receptacle stores a beverage container in an upright position. The equipment hook allows for hanging sports or related equipment such as baseball gloves or baseball hats. The bat holder hook allows for holding a baseball bat or other equipment such as a jacket or other items of clothing. The flexible member such as a securing strap secures the rack to a fixture such as a chain link fence, wall or other support. The hanging hole allows the rack to be secured to a pre-existing hook or protuberance if the securing straps cannot be used. The decorative area allows for displaying custom graphic matter such as logos or names.
