Definitions

  • Racks are commonly used for securing objects for transportation, storage, and/or display reasons. It is also desirable to provide a mechanism for locking objects within these racks, thereby preventing any unauthorized removal of the objects from the racks.
  • a rack is to bind sporting equipment to an object such as a vehicle, a wall in a house or garage, or a store display rack.
  • the main purpose is transportation of said object, whereas, when a rack is attached to a wall or display structure, the main purpose is storage and/or display. In either instance, the goal of the rack is to firmly support the object in a desired position.
  • United States Patent Application Number 2001/0031588 A1 entitled Board Securing Device discloses a device comprising a flexible cable loop strap that is engageable using a key or combination operated lock.
  • the loop is placed around the circumference of a surfboard at a location proximate a rack mounting bar.
  • the loop is then secured to the rack mounting bar, thus securing the board to the rack mounting bar.
  • the disclosed loop offers a locking mechanism that is neither subject to the same degree of deterioration as are standard straps nor easily cut.
  • the loop straps do not form part of the rack system. Instead, the loop straps are a time consuming addition to an existing rack system, offering no legitimate support between the object and the rack.
  • United States Patent Number 5,582,044, issued to Bolich and entitled Adjustable Surfboard Clamp and Method discloses a method for locking a surfboard to a roof rack crossbar using a series of adjustable mount block assemblies affixed to the rack crossbars at a lateral position of contact with the sides of a surfboard placed horizontally on top of the crossbars.
  • the mount block assemblies utilize a metal clamp that is vertically adjusted to the thickness of the surfboard at the lateral position of contact.
  • An internal axle connects two side cams vertically adjacent to a center mount block with the clamp affixed within the side cams.
  • An axle allows for the clamp assemblies to open and close by means of rotation of the side cams relative to the position of the mount block.
  • the mount block assemblies utilize a lock pin that inserts through an alignment of holes in the mount block assembly to a position of engagement with a cam lock assembly.
  • Utility of the cam lock serves to prevent or allow removal of the lock pin. This clamping method prevents movement of a surfboard on the crossbar and deters theft.
  • the clamp mechanism is designed such that the clamp face runs parallel with the longitudinal centeriine of the vehicle, to which it is attached.
  • Surfboards as is the case with most sporting equipment, have a non-linear outline. This being the case, the face of the clamp is not able to form full contact with the surfboard. Contact is limited to point contact between a corner of the clamp, which is a small surface area, and the surfboard rail. Such contact on the fragile rails of a surfboard will damage the rails. This damage is exacerbated by vibration of the surfboard in transit when the "optimal fit" is not a snug fit between the clamp and surfboard.
  • a locking rack that will securely and snugly hold a variety of sized objects without using fragile straps, without requiring complex adjustments of the rack members and without damaging the objects at the point of contact.
  • the current disclosure relates to a vice system useful for holding a variety of sized objects without adjusting the contact surface area.
  • the vice face when placed in contact with an object, forms snug, flush, secure and releasably lockable contact with an object.
  • Said vices are applicable to vehicle transportation racks, storage racks and display racks.
  • one objective of the current invention is to provide a durable, simple and highly versatile rack system that fits a variety of sized objects without requiring a user to perform adjustments to a clamping mechanism while fitting said various sized objects.
  • a further objective of the current invention is to provide a rack system that avoids damaging objects held within the vice faces by providing flush contact between the vice face and the sides of the object via rotation of the vice faces along an axis.
  • a further objective of the current invention is to provide a vice system that is useful for transporting objects on the roof of a vehicle.
  • a further objective of the current invention is to provide a vice system that is useful for transporting objects on the sides or rear of a vehicle or on the sides of a motorcycle, bicycle or other similar transportation means.
  • a further objective of the current invention is to provide a vice system that is useful for storing or displaying objects on a wall of a house, garage or other similar structure.
  • a further objective of the current invention is to provide a vice system that is useful for displaying objects on a display rack such as those used in stores or used at trade shows.
  • the vice comprises at least a pivoting vice face and a means of attaching said vice face to a structure such as a vehicle rack system, a wall mounting system or a display rack system.
  • the vice faces are further provided with a locking means for
  • means may be a pad-lock, keyed cam-lock, or other locking mechanism well known in the art.

Even more preferably, the curve of vice face 16 measures less than about 86 degrees. Most preferably, the curve of vice face 16 measures 85 degrees.
  • the vice face 16 may be an ellipse preferably with a major axis ranging from about 18-inches to about 1-inch and a minor axis ranging from about 11.9-inches to about 0.6-inches; more preferably with a major axis ranging from about 10-inches to about 2-inches and a minor axis ranging from about 6.6-inches to about 1.5-inches; and most preferably with a major axis ranging from about 5-inches to about 3-inches and a minor axis ranging from about 3.3-inches to about 1.8-inches.
  • One of ordinary skill in the art will readily employ a variety of shapes to achieve the spirit of the current invention.
  • the design of vice face 16 offers a structure that, when placed in direct contact with the sides of an object, such as the rails of a surfboard, will concomitantly provide sufficient contact with the rails and with the upper surface of the object preventing horizontal, diagonal and vertical movement of the object.
  • the contact point between said vice face 16 and the object is subject to a diagonal pressure, sufficient to prevent diagonal, vertical and horizontal movement with respect to the vice face 16.
  • the embodiment of the vice faces may have a non-curved design and still employ the principles of the current invention, such as but not limited to an angular shape.
  • vice 14 may change to accommodate the larger profiles seen in kayaks, canoes, travel mates, stacks of surfboards, snowboards, windsurfers or other objects. It is obvious to those of skill in the art to employ a variety of shapes and dimensions to a vice or other securing object to achieve the spirit of this disclosure. In a still further embodiment, vice 14 is easily adjusted by the user to accommodate various sized objects. Because the current invention's design holds object in place using a single point contact, a wide range of sized objects are secured using a vice face of a single dimension.
  • a vice face 16 of the current invention designed with a radius of 4 inches readily secures objects as small as 1/2-inch (1.3 centimeters), as is common for snow boards and skim boards, all the way to 3-1/2 inches, such as the standard surfboard on the market.
  • the current invention can adjust linearly to bring the curved vice face in proximity to the contact point for a larger object, such as a windsurfer, generally having a 6 to 10 inch profile, or a kayak, generally having an 18 inch profile.
  • the current invention is applicable to a wide range of sized objects without requiring a user to purchase a variety of vice faces.
  • Vice face 16 is preferably integrated into vice body 18.
  • Vice body 18 further comprises tongue 20 which in turn further comprises vice pivot shaft 22.
  • the vice 14 is such that it can form a pivoting tongue and groove relationship with a structure having arms 24 forming said groove and further comprising pivot shafts 28 within the arms.

  • a fixed block forms such a structure wherein the fixed block is fixedly and permanently attached to mounting bar 6, and wherein the fixed block further comprises arms 24 to form a groove, said arms having pivot shafts 28.
  • tongue 20 fits between arms 24, and thus vice pivot shaft 22 aligns with arm pivot shafts 28.
  • Pivot pin 10 is then inserted through vice pivot shaft 22 and arm pivot shafts 28 forming a pivoting point between the vice 14 and the slide block 8.
  • the pivot point between vice 14 and sliding block 8 are formed using a ball and socket arrangement.
  • an arm 30 and ball 32 extend from vice 14 and further fit into socket 34 housed within slide block 8 forming a pivot point between the vice 14 and the slide block 8.
