Abstract
A storage rack provides a convenient means to both dry and store often cumbersome athletic clothing and equipment. The storage rack is of an endo-type design in the sense that the stored athletic equipment and clothing is substantially draped over or encapsulated various appendages of a hollow shell of the rack. Internal surfaces of the athletic equipment and clothing are dried by a series of air flow apertures carried by each appendage which communicate inwardly with a common air chamber held at superatmospheric pressure and defined by the shell. Preferably an inlet supply air passage is also carried by the shell for receiving superatmospheric air into the air chamber.
