Abstract

A base for supporting an upstanding post having a first base member and at least one second base member. The first base member includes a first socket portion and a first support portion. Each second base member includes a second socket portion and a second support portion. The first and second base members are connected to each other and the first and second socket portions together define a post socket. The post socket has a plurality of walls defining a perimeter and extending from a bottom support for surrounding an end of the upstanding post. The first and second support portions each include at least one bearing point remote from a respective one of the socket portions to engage a support surface. A sports equipment rack and a kit for an assembly of a sports equipment rack is also disclosed.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates generally to a base member for an upstanding post, and more particularly to a base and rack for supporting various types of sport equipment such as a player's individual protection gear and clothing for a particular sport. [0003] 2. Background Art [0004] Some sports and more particularly contact sports such as hockey and football utilize a great deal of equipment which have to be stored. The equipment cannot be stored immediately after use as generally it must be aired and dried. This is also the case even in some non-contact sports such as skiing and the like. [0005] Since it is desirable that such racks be composed of elements that can be easily taken apart for storage and transport purposes, some prior art racks have a central post and a plurality of separate base members, for example having a triangular shape, which are deformed from a tensioned state to be removably inserted into r...
