A rack support and method of use. The support rack can include a plurality of support slats mounted to a support base. The support slats cooperatively provide a plurality of article mounting channels, and article mounts can be slidably mounted in the channels in order to provide a variety of orientations of the article mounts with respect to the support base. In one embodiment, the support channels are T-shaped, and the article mounts have T-shaped mounting ends that may slidably mount with the T-shaped support channels. Other support channel and mounting end shapes may be used. In some embodiments, the rack support may be used to store articles on a wall with increased article density, economy, reliability, safety, and/or usability.

The present disclosure provides for a display and storage stand for cross-country snow skis or cross-country roller skis. The display and storage stand includes a mounting bracket for attachment to a wall, an attachment bracket that extends from the mounting bracket, a ski bracket, that releasably connects to the mounting bracket and a support rod extending laterally across the ski bracket. The ski bracket includes frame members that define zones in which to receive at least a portion of the ski binding device of a pair of cross-country skis. The movable latch of the ski binding device releasably attaches to the support rod to position the base surface of the pair of cross-country skis between the attachment bracket and the support rod.

A self-standing skateboard system includes a skateboard and a panel. The skateboard includes first and second trucks attached to a deck. The panel includes a front face, a back face, and a perimeter edge extending around and between the front face and the back face, the perimeter edge having a first end opposite a second end and a pair of opposed sides coupled to and extending between the first and second ends, with the panel having a slot extending into the first end defining a pair of spaced projections, and the slot being configured for receiving one of the first and second trucks for supporting the skateboard on the panel. Further, the panel has a notch extending into the second end defining a pair of feet for supporting the panel in an upright position on a supporting surface.

A device, system, and method for holding one or more structural long objects includes a plurality of adjacent flat membranes that are in direct contact with each other. The membranes have been slit to produce tabs that meet near a center of the membranes to hold the structural long object(s) more effectively than could be accomplished with a single flat membrane with tabs. The membranes are held in the body of the device or system by a retaining device located on one side of the membranes and a retaining feature of the body on the other side of the membranes.

The present invention is generally related to storing and protecting boards used for boardsports, and more particularly related to one or more embodiments of an apparatus comprising a board ground absorption pad for placement on a horizontal surface in a storage location, wherein the board ground absorption pad protects a boardsport board from damage caused by the surface, protects the surface from damage caused by the boardsport board, and protects the storage location from runoff debris falling off of the boardsport board (such as water, for example). One or more embodiments of a system for storing and protecting boards used for boardsports are also disclosed comprising the ground adsorption pad used in combination with a top grip, such as a board wall grip suction pad or a board wall grip stick-on pad, wherein the top grip may be mounted on a vertical surface in a storage location and may assist in keeping the boardsport board upright while also protecting against damage to the boardsport board caused by the vertical surface, and against damage to the vertical surface cause by the boardsport board.

One embodiment of a sports board hanger which can be attached to a sports board such as a surfboard, enable it to be hung from an elevated rod, hook, peg or other object, remain in place while the board is raised or lowered, can be quickly attached and detached for reuse without use of fasteners such as screws, and can be used with fins installed on a board.

The present disclosure provides for a display and storage stand for cross-country snow skis or cross-country roller skis. The display and storage stand includes a mounting bracket for attachment to a wall, an attachment bracket that extends from the mounting bracket, a ski bracket, that releasably connects to the mounting bracket and a support rod extending laterally across the ski bracket. The ski bracket includes frame members that define zones in which to receive at least a portion of the ski binding device of a pair of cross-country skis. The movable latch of the ski binding device releasably attaches to the support rod to position the base surface of the pair of cross-country skis between the attachment bracket and the support rod.

Disclosed in the present invention is a multi-sport board shaping and storage rack system (01) that is designed to accommodate various board-like recreational equipment, including surfboards (06A) and snowboards (06B). The system includes a base (10), upright members (02), at least one angled support (11) oriented between 15 and 45 from vertical, and fasteners (09) enabling folding or disassembly. Notches (07) for securing boards may be located on the angled support (11) or on a cross-member (04), allowing ergonomic shaping, repair, and versatile storage. This integrated solution offers robust lateral force mitigation and easy reconfiguration for multi-sport usage.
