Filed:
Apr 8, 1999
Appl. No.:

Abstract:
A ball holding device for holding at least one ball has a flexible support member. The flexible support member has a top hook attached to a rigid suspension rib at the top of the flexible support member. When the device is hanging from a structure, the rigid suspension rib functions to hold the flexible support member in an open configuration, thereby exposing a face of the flexible support member for use. The face has at least one ball support web, and preferably includes five ball support webs, allowing the device to store up to five balls of varying sizes. Each ball support web includes a rigid support rib positioned laterally across the flexible support member. A lateral ball retaining strap hangs from the flexible support member and is laterally spaced by the rigid support rib. A lateral base strap is sewn to the flexible support member. An adjustment end of the lateral ball retaining strap engages the lateral base strap through a pair of locking rings, thereby allowing adjustment of the length of the lateral ball retaining strap to fit the perimeter of the ball being stored.
