Abstract

A device that can be fixed to a sun deck, dock and pier by means of an inverted T fixed to the second end of said device wherein said inverted T bar is placed into the gap between the planks or boards that comprise the deck, dock or pier wherein said inverted T is rotated to wherein the inverted T extends below the underside of said planks or boards and wherein a threaded base member is turned on the second end of said device further fastening said device to the topside of said boards or planks thereby locking said device to said boards or planks for the placement of and support for fishing rods, tools, umbrellas or other devices wherein multiple fishing rods or tools may be placed at different horizontal and vertical angles relative to one another.

Claims

1. A device to hold at least one fishing rod or multiple fishing rods or tools on a dock, deck, or pier with planks or boards comprising:

a rod holder with a first end, a second end, an inside, an outside, a first side, a second side, a third side, and a fourth side wherein at least one hole is formed in said first side and at least one notch and one hole is formed in said third side, and at least one notch and one hole is formed in said second side and at least one hole is formed in said fourth side and wherein said one hole formed in said first side is closer to said second end of said rod holder than said hole formed in said third side and wherein said hole formed in said second side is closer to said first end of said rod holder than said hole formed in said fourth side and wherein said second end of said rod holder has threads formed on the outside;

a imbed H bar with a first end and a second end wherein said first end of said imbed H bar is imbedded into said second end of said rod holder and said second end of said imbed H bar is formed into an inverted T and wherein said second end of said imbed H bar extends past said second end of said rod holder;

a base member with a first end and a second end and with an inside and an outside and wherein said inside has threads and wherein said threads are compatible with said threads formed on said second end of said rod holder and wherein said base member is disposed over said second end of said rod holder and said threads formed on said rod holder mesh with said threads formed on the inside of said base member and wherein said inverted T is inserted into a gap between said planks forming said dock, pier, or deck and wherein said inverted T is below the underside of said planks and said inverted T is rotated until said inverted T is below said underside of said planks and said base member is rotated about said lower end of said rod holder wherein said base member is forced into the topside of said planks and said inverted T is forced into said bottom side of said planks thus locking said device to said planks of said dock, pier, or deck wherein said fishing rod is inserted into said hole on said third side and said hole on said first side thereby holding at least one said fishing rod at an angle.

2. The device of claim 1 wherein said rod holder will hold two or more fishing rods at the same time.

3. The device of claim 1 wherein said rod holder will hold two or more fishing rods at different angles to horizontal.

4. The device of claim 1 wherein said rod holder will hold two or more fishing rods at different angles to vertical.
