Embodiment Construction

[0028] With reference to FIGS. 1 and 2 there is shown, in perspective view, a boot rack assembly 10 including a U-shaped member 20 and a mounting plate 30. In FIGS. 1 and 2 may also be seen a pair of arms 22 and a planar rigid mounting portion 24 integral therewith, whereby an inverted boot 26 may be held upon each arm of said pair of arms. Each arm of said pair of arms 22 is directed toward the other. Each of said arms 22 includes an integral distal end 27, use is more fully described with reference to FIGS. 10-13 below.

[0029] As shown in FIGS. 1, 2 and 3 the boot rack assembly 10 includes a resilient linear region of dependency 28 between each arm 22 and said planar rigid mounting portion 24 comprising means for bendable adjustment therebetween. In between each arm 22 and a plane defined by said mounting portion 24 comprises an Angle A in a range of about 90° degrees to about 110° degrees. As shown in FIG. 4, the preferable angle being 90° for greater stability of the inverted bo...

Abstract

A boot rack assembly having a U-shaped member and a mounting plate. The U-shaped member includes a pair of arms and an integral planar rigid mounting portion by which an inverted boot may be held upon each arm of the pair of arms. Each arm exhibits a transverse distal end having about one-tenth the length of the arm. Axis defined by the arms are adjustable relative to each other.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Area of Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a boot rack assembly designed to be securely fastened to any flat surface. [0003] 2. Prior Art [0004] Most workers in the construction, industrial, agricultural and various other industries use work boots on the job. Often, these work boots need to be stored, cleaned, and / or transported on a daily basis. [0005] Currently, workers have few options of what to do with their work boots when they are not in use. Workers often throw their boots in the back of their personal or work trucks, but these boots are not secured and often get damaged and destroyed. Often, workers boots are coated in drying cement, dirt, and other debris that can dirty and damage the inside and outside of a vehicle. The term “work boot” is used generally and can be replaced with any type of boot or shoe, including boots, ski boots, work shoes and the like. [0006] The prior art includes a boot rack assembly designed to s...
