Claim 1
Independent Claim
235 words
In a portable magnetic rack for guns, fishing rods and the like: a. an elongated body substantially rectangular in cross-section and defining front, rear, upper and lower faces; the body being made to be pressed against a metallic surface of an automobile, or other metallic surface, at a desired elevation above the ground, and the body being adapted to be disposed horizontally; the body being impregnated with magnetic particles dispersed substantially throughout the length and height thereof so that substantially the entire area of the rear face will be firmly secured from end to end and from its upper to lower face by magnetic attraction to the metallic surface; b. the body being uniform in height between the upper and lower faces thereof throughout the entire length of the body; c. each of the upper and lower faces of the body defining a plane, and these planes being parallel with one another, and the magnetic particles being confined between these planes; d. the body being fashioned with a plurality of vertical slots spaced one from the other and all of the slots extendiNg into the body from the front face thereof, each slot being unobstructed so that a selected part of a gun, fishing rods or the like may be inserted into the slot for support by the body, with the lower end of the gun, fishing rods or the like resting on the ground.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim

In a portable magnetic rack for guns, fishing rods and the like: a. an elongated body substantially rectangular in cross-section and defining front, rear, upper and lower faces; the body being made to be pressed against a metallic surface of an automobile, or other metallic surface, at a desired elevation above the ground, and the body being adapted to be disposed horizontally; the body being impregnated with magnetic particles dispersed substantially throughout the length and height thereof so that substantially the entire area of the rear face will be firmly secured from end to end and from its upper to lower face by magnetic attraction to the metallic surface; b. the body being uniform in height between the upper and lower faces thereof throughout the entire length of the body; c. each of the upper and lower faces of the body defining a plane, and these planes being parallel with one another, and the magnetic particles being confined between these planes; d. the body being fashioned with a plurality of vertical slots spaced one from the other and all of the slots extendiNg into the body from the front face thereof, each slot being unobstructed so that a selected part of a gun, fishing rods or the like may be inserted into the slot for support by the body, with the lower end of the gun, fishing rods or the like resting on the ground.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
80 words
The portable magnetic rack for guns, fishing rods and the like, as set forth in claim 1; e. and in which the elongated body is constituted by a frontal strip having a backing strip bonded to its rear face, the backing strip being disposed between the planes of the upper and lower faces of the body, the magnetic particles being confined to the backing strip, and the frontal strip and backing strip having substantially the same lengths and heights, respectively.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
54 words
The portable magnetic rack for guns, fishing rods and the like, as set forth in claim 2; f. and in which both the frontal strip and the backing strip are made of resilient material that may be flexed to conform to the contour of the metallic surface against which the backing strip is pressed.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
31 words
The portable magnetic rack for guns, fishing rods and the like, as set forth in claim 1; e. and in which the magnetic particles are dispersed throughout the entire elongated body.
