ABSTRACT:
A modular ski hanger system and kit for mounting the same, is provided with a bracket member which may be mounted on a vertical surface. Ski hanger modules, which may be slidably mounted on the bracket member, each have an upright thickened back portion and a pair of substantially parallel upright wall members forwardly projecting from the back portion. The wall members are spaced apart by enough distance to permit insertion of a pair of typical skis arranged base-to-base at a portion adjacent their curved front ends, and the wall members have a dimension parallel to the back portion which is great enough to ensure that the pair of typical skis received between them will be maintained together by the wall members without slipping down. This allows two ski hangers to be positioned with one inverted with respect to the other, allowing close spacing of the skis. A cylindrical plug member may be inserted through opposed apertures in the wall members of a module in order to provide abutment means to retain the pair skis in the module against forward lateral sliding. Apertures of adjacent inverted modules are substantially aligned so that locking means may be threaded along the length of a series of modules to lock all skis in place, or alternatively, a single locking means may be inserted through a lateral aperture in the plug member to prevent removal of the plug member from the module.
