second embodiment

[0037] this invention is shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, in which similar elements to those described in the prior embodiment are identified with similar reference numbers but raised by 100. Here, a lacrosse stick holder 110 has a base plate or mounting plate 118 formed of a durable rigid plastic (or other durable solid material), with a notched or forked projection 120 that is formed of a hard rubber or another elastomeric material. The projection 120 is formed with opposed resilient fingers 121 on the left and right sides of a notch or slot 122 defined between them. The slot is dimensioned so as to receive the shaft 14 of a lacrosse stick, and to deflect resiliently and hold the shaft securely in place, until pulled out of the slot by a player. The slot has a base 134 situated well ahead of the mounting plate 118, so as to create a space behind the shaft 14 of the lacrosse stick. There is a hook 124 projecting from one side, or from both sides, of the base plate 118 for hanging equipment...

Abstract

A lacrosse stick holder mounts on a vertical surface and serves as complete storage system for the stick, horizontally or vertically, and other equipment. The holder has a base or mounting plate, and one or more forked projections. The forked projections define a notch or slot that receives the shaft of the lacrosse stick, and may be formed of spring-loaded jaws that spread to allow the shaft to pass and close over the shaft to secure it removably in place. A hook or hooks are provided on the base plate for attaching a sports bag, gloves, pads or other ancillary equipment. Spacers permit a series of these holders to be attached in a row for storing multiple sticks.

Description

[0001] This application claims priority of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60 / 588,969, filed Jul. 19, 2004.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] This invention concerns a holder for a lacrosse stick, which mounts on a wall or other vertical surface and removably clamps the shaft of the lacrosse stick. The invention is more broadly concerned with a holder for an article of sports equipment that is in the form of a shaft, e.g., a hockey stick, badminton racket, etc., and can hold the equipment in a vertical or horizontal orientation for storage. The invention is further concerned with a device that permits convenient storage of the lacrosse stick and other equipment at a place that is off the floor. This device can also be used to protect the stick, and for display purposes. [0003] To date, there have been no convenient wall-mounted devices for convenient storage of shaft-based sports equipment such as lacrosse sticks, and most commonly these items are kept in a sports bag or simply lai...
