ABSTRACT:
A ski rack which can also be used as a vise includes a base member and a perpendicular leg at either end, one leg fixed and the other hinged to move into and out of the perpendicular position. A suction cup is located along the underside of the base member. To secure the rack to a smooth surface, the fixed leg of the rack is placed thereon, the rack is forced downward until the suction cup contacts the surface and the air is expelled from it, and the hinged leg is swung down into the perpendicular position, against the smooth surface, forcing the base member upwards to increase the suction in the suction cup. For use as a vise, the rack has a pair of jaws, one movable, along the base member to grip lateral edges of a ski. A spaced apart pair of vises provides increased support. For use as a rack to hold skis along an automobile side window, a pair of racks are mounted along the window, one in front of the other, each in a vertical orientation. First pins extend outward from the fixed leg of each vise, and rubber bands secure two pairs of skis to the first pins. Second pins, extending through the base members and threaded into the movable legs to hold them perpendicular, similarly receive two other pairs of skis. A hook and strap extending from the rack over the top edge of the window prevent downward movement of each rack.
