ABSTRACT:
A ski rack for mounting on a wall or other supporting surface includes a pair of spaced top and bottom rails having a gap therebetween. The rails are affixed at their ends to end blocks, for maintaining the width of the gap. A plurality of sets of opposed retainer blocks are provided along the length of the frame, and are connected to the frame through the gap between the top and bottom rail portions. The retainer blocks have face portions adapted to engage the diverging edge portions of the ski as the ski is slid downwardly between the retainer blocks. The ski is retained on the rack by such engagement of the face portions of the blocks with the diverging edge portions of the skis. The ski is removed by moving the ski upwardly to disengage the edge portions from the face portions of the opposed retainer blocks. The retainer blocks are movable toward and away from each other so as to accommodate varying widths of skis.
