Oar storage rack for boats

Abstract From the Canadian patent

Abstract, A plate structure and keeper define open areas for the reception of boat oars. The keeper is hingedly mounted to the plate structure as well as lockable thereto to prevent oar theft. At one end of the plate structure are appendages which protrude outwardly through brackets mounted on the boat. The brackets define slot-like openings to receive the appendages for holding the plate structure in an elevated operative position. The plate structure is downwardly stowable in a lowered position and confined against fore-and-aft movement upon the appendages being reorientated in the slot-like openings accomplished by lifting and downward rotation of the plate structure.
