Frisbee holder

Abstract

According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a disc holder, comprising: a first end plate; a first mounting bracket; a second end plate; a second mounting bracket; a first tube; and a second tube, wherein: the first end plate is configured to attach to the first mounting bracket; the second end plate is configured to attach to the second mounting bracket; the first tube connects the assembly of the first end plate and the first mounting bracket to the second end plate and the second mounting bracket along a first line; and the second tube connects the assembly of the first end plate and the first mounting bracket to the second end plate and the second mounting bracket along a second line to define a space for holding discs between the first tube and the second tube.

Claims

1. A disc holder for storing disc golf discs, comprising: a first end plate having protrusions configured to contain disc golf discs; a first mounting bracket configured for direct wall mounting; a second end plate having protrusions configured to contain disc golf discs; a second mounting bracket configured for direct wall mounting; a first tube; and a second tube, wherein: the first end plate is configured to attach to the first mounting bracket; the second end plate is configured to attach to the second mounting bracket; the first tube connects the assembly of the first end plate and the first mounting bracket to the second end plate and the second mounting bracket along a first horizontal line; and the second tube connects the assembly of the first end plate and the first mounting bracket to the second end plate and the second mounting bracket along a second horizontal line parallel to the first horizontal line; the first tube and second tube are spaced apart at a precise distance configured to support disc golf discs in stable vertical orientation between the tubes.

2. The disc holder of claim 1, wherein the first mounting bracket and the second mounting bracket have screw holes for secure direct wall mounting.

3. The disc holder of claim 1, wherein the first mounting bracket and the second mounting bracket have two U-shaped indentations on top configured to receive the first tube and the second tube in parallel horizontal orientation.

4. The disc holder of claim 1, wherein the first end plate and the second end plate have protrusions at the top configured for containing disc golf discs at their edges to prevent lateral movement.

5. The disc holder of claim 1, wherein the first mounting bracket and the second mounting bracket have one or more openings on the bottom for receiving the first end plate and the second end plate respectively to form a stable disc containment assembly.

6. The disc holder of claim 1, wherein the first end plate and the second end plate have protrusions at the bottom for connecting to the first and second mounting brackets respectively to create a rigid support structure.

7. The disc holder of claim 1, wherein mounting brackets are configured to maintain the first tube and second tube at the same elevation in parallel horizontal orientation for stable disc support.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

(5) FIG. 1 illustrates an end plate according to an embodiment of the present invention.

(6) End plate 10 has three protrusions 12 for supporting discs when the embodiment is assembled for use. Protrusions 12 are configured to contain discs at a top end of the discs.

(7) FIG. 2 illustrates mounting bracket according to an embodiment of the present invention.

(8) Mounting bracket 20 has screw holes 22 which can be used to attach the mounting bracket to a wall, for example. Rod holding recesses 24 is configured to receive first and second rods for containing discs at a bottom end of the discs.

(9) FIG. 3 illustrates an assembled device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

(10) End plates 10 are attached to mounting brackets 20 which are spaced a distance apart. End plates 10 can have a plurality of protrusions at the bottom for connecting to mounting brackets 20, or the end plate and mounting brackets can be provided as a one piece assembly. Rods 30 connect the end plate and mounting bracket assemblies on either end to each other. The length of the rods and the spacing can be varied in embodiments depending on the number of discs to be held.

(11) FIG. 4 illustrates the assembled according to an embodiment of the present invention holding discs.

(12) Discs 40 are positioned on top of rods 30 which are spaced with a gap in between the rods to allow for the discs to rest on top of the rods. End plates 10 and mounting brackets 20 contain discs 40 on the side of the discs. Discs can be various sizes and depending on the size of the discs the protrusions from end plates 10 may be above the top of the discs or may meet the discs on the sides.
