Abstract

An adjustable storage rack system that allows for the organized storage of objects. The storage rack is adjustable with regard to the size of the objects to be stored, as well as to the position of the objects along the rack.

Description

    BACKGROUND
  • 1. Field of the Invention
  • The present invention relates to racks, and more specifically to an adjustable strap mounting system.
  • 2. Description of Related Art
  • Storage and display are always problems in the home and in business. Some items which are used constantly are desirable to store in visible locations with very easy access. Surfboards, wakeboards, snowboards and skis fall into these categories. Wall storage can be a good solution for these items. The items stored on the wall are highly visible and easily accessible. To preserve space, it is desirable to store boards flat against the wall so that the boards do not stick out away from the wall. The boards themselves may be subject to denting or scratching, so supporting the boards in a support system which does not scratch, dent, or mar the surface of the board is desirable.
  • Many possessions are both large and of irregular size making storage of these objects using conventional devices inadequate or otherwise unsatisfactory. Often, these items must be stored in somewhat inaccessible areas where adequate storage space is not really available, and where their presence must not interfere with other activities. Often a choice must be made between accessibility for frequent use, or inaccessibility but better safety for the objects.
  • Another problem related to the use and storage or relatively large and irregularly shaped and sized objects include the difficulty of maintaining the objects and of monitoring their condition. When such items are left merely laying around, they are typically susceptible to damage and deterioration. However, when they are left in storage, it may not be possible to monitor their condition.
  • Thus, what is called for is a storage system that allows for the storage of large and irregular objects. What is also called for is a storage system that is adjustable such that it can accommodate different sizes of objects, as well as being able to be mounted in locations with different clearances.
    • SUMMARY
  • An adjustable storage rack system that allows for the organized storage of objects. The storage rack is adjustable with regard to the size of the objects to be stored, as well as to the position of the objects along the rack.

    • DETAILED DESCRIPTION
  • In some embodiments of the present invention, as seen in FIGS. 1 and 2, an adjustable storage rack system 100 stores items 105, 106, 107 against a wall 112. A first main strap 101 and a second main strap 102 hang vertically against the wall 112 in some embodiments. The main straps 101, 102 may be of nylon webbing material in some embodiments. A top attach point 108, 110 may be used to attach the main straps 101, 102 to the wall 112. In some embodiments, the top attach points 108, 110 may be a grommet. In some embodiments, the main straps 101, 102 may be attached by a fastener placed through the grommet and into the wall 112. The bottom of the main straps 101, 102 may be also be attached to the wall 112 using bottom attach points 109, 111. In other embodiments, the top attach points 108, 110 may be attached to a ceiling to allow the main straps 101, 102 to hang down from the ceiling, as in the middle of room, or also if a plurality of rack systems are to be used side by side with space between for walking and access. The length of the main straps may be adjusted through the use of a second segment 116 and an adjusting clip 115. The first segment of the main strap may be attached using to top attach point 108, and then the main strap may be lengthened or shortened as required. The bottom attach point 109 may then also be fastened if desired.
  • A plurality of attaching straps 104 a-c, 103 a-c may be attached along the length of the main straps 101, 102. The attaching straps are not permanently fastened along the straps but are attached using a plurality of adjustable attaching clips 114 a-c which function as a link between the attaching straps 104 a-c and the main strap 101. The attaching straps 104 a-c are adapted to be adjustable such that the loop formed by the attaching strap can be snugly fastened around objects of differing sizes 105, 106, 107. The attaching straps 104 a-c may have buckle clips 117 a-c which allow the attaching straps 104 a-c to be clipped around the item to be stored. The buckle clips 117 a-c are adapted to allow for the adjustment of the length of the loop formed by the attaching straps. Although three attaching straps are shown in the illustrative example of FIGS. 1 and 2, it is understood that any number of attaching straps may be used in different embodiments of the present invention.
  • The attaching straps 104 a-c thus may be moved up or down along the length of the main strap 101 to allow the attach point of the attaching strap to be adjusted according to the shape and size of the object to be stored and according to the desires of the user. As seen in FIG. 1, a pair of main straps 101, 102 may be used in conjunction with each other to store objects horizontally. In the case of non-uniformly shaped objects, the adjusting straps may be located according to need, and the length of the loop of the adjusting strap may vary according to the cross-section of the object to be stored at the point where it crosses the main strap.
  • In some embodiments of the present invention, as seen in FIGS. 3 and 4, an attaching clip 201 is used to attach the adjusting strap 104 to the main strap 101. The attaching clip 201 has a plurality of cross members 202, 203, 204, 205 through which the main strap 101 and the attaching strap 104 are threaded. The main strap may be threaded in such a way the attaching clip will not be moved by the weight of the object being held by the attaching strap due to the friction of the threaded strap through the attaching clip. Thus, to adjust the position of the attaching clip along the main strap the attaching clip must be unweighted. This allows for the safe storage of objects along the main strap while allowing for the adjustment of the adjusting strap along the length of the main strap. The adjusting strap may be threaded through the attaching clip so that it may move through the attaching clip relatively easily even under load, or may be threaded so that it must also be unweighted, depending upon the preferences of the user. Typically, the adjusting strap would thread through just one cross member in order to be able to still be moved under load.
  • In some embodiments of the present invention, as seen in FIGS. 5 and 6, an attaching clip 210 has only a single cross member 212 other than the end cross members 211, 213. The main strap 101 threads through the narrow opening between the cross member 212 and the end cross member 211. The narrow opening allows for the movement of the main strap 101 when pulled horizontally to the plane of the attaching clip 210 but provides sufficient friction to hold the attaching clip 210 in place along the main strap 101 when deflected in line, as when put under load by an object being supported by the attaching strap 104.
  • In some embodiments of the present invention, as seen in FIG. 7, an adjustable storage rack system 700 is mounted to the ceiling 720 of a room. The adjustable storage rack system 700 stores items 705, 706, 707 against a ceiling 720. A first main strap 701 and a second main strap 702 are mounted horizontally against the ceiling 720 in some embodiments. The main straps 701, 702 may be of nylon webbing material in some embodiments. A first attach point 708, 710 may be used to attach the main straps 701, 702 to the ceiling 720. In some embodiments, the first attach points 708, 710 may be a grommet. In some embodiments, the main straps 701, 702 may be attached by a fastener placed through the grommet and into the ceiling 720. The second end of the main straps 701, 702 may be also be attached to the ceiling 720 using second attach points 709, 711. In other embodiments, the first attach points 708, 710 may be attached to the ceiling 720 to allow the main straps 701, 702 to hang down from the ceiling, as in the middle of room, or also if a plurality of rack systems are to be used side by side with space between for walking and access.
  • A plurality of attaching straps 704 a-c, 703 a-c may be attached along the length of the main straps 701, 702. The attaching straps are not permanently fastened along the straps but are attached using a plurality of adjustable attaching clips which function as a link between the attaching straps 704 a-c and the main strap 701. The attaching straps 704 a-c are adapted to be adjustable such that the loop formed by the attaching strap can be snugly fastened around objects of differing sizes 705, 706, 707. The attaching straps 704 a-c may have buckle clips which allow the attaching straps 704 a-c to be clipped around the item to be stored. The buckle clips are adapted to allow for the adjustment of the length of the loop formed by the attaching straps. Although three attaching straps are shown in the illustrative example of FIG. 7, it is understood that any number of attaching straps may be used in different embodiments of the present invention.
  • In some embodiments of the present invention, as seen in FIG. 8, an adjustable storage rack system 800 is mounted to a ceiling of a room or other horizontal along the top surface 830 of a main bracket 801. The adjustable storage rack system 800 stores items 805, 806, 807, 831. A first main bracket 801 is mounted horizontally against a ceiling or other horizontal support in some embodiments.
