ABSTRACT:
A portable bat rack having a first configuration attachable to a fence for the storage of baseball bats and a more compact second configuration of smaller dimensions for transporting the bat rack. The bat rack is front suspended adjacent each end minimizing tilting by partially equalizing the moments caused by the weight of the bats. A shelf-like first support bar is provided with individual forward opening recesses spaced laterally to independently receive each bat in a substantially vertical position. A bat receiving second support bar is provided and is detachably connected to the first support bar thereby allowing end-to-end coplanar abutting of the adjacent support bars in first configuration. A pair of hangers are pivotally attached to the first support bar near each end for attaching the bat rack to an open weave fence. A third hanger is pivotally attached to the outward end of the second support bar. Each hanger is rotatable against its respective support bar in the second configuration thereof. The hinge is separable allowing the first support bar to be used independently without the second support bar in the event a lesser amount of bat stowage is required.
