Surfboard wall mount - Sliding nose mount for fast access

cults3d

Mount for fixing a surfboard with pointy nose and fish-tail onto a wall. I've designed this to give quick access to the board while maintaining a very slim profile. I've seen many surfboard mounts where the board sticks out into the room, taking up a lot of space, or is positioned all the way under the ceiling, making it very inaccessible. People are also using big clumsy bands or rope to hold the surfboard in place. If you don't like those solutions, look no further: This design minimizes the mount profile and allows fast access and positioning of the board on a wall-mount that lets you enjoy the look of your board! Please note: This is a first edition. The curvature for the nose isn't great, and the tail only works on boards with a fish-type shape. NOSEMOUNT: The sliding nose mount is very nice and can be printed in 2 parts without support. The design prevents the mount from falling off or sliding off its wall mount, and the travel is about 5-7 cm. This allows for quick and easy removal of the board when it's needed. The tolerances will also prevent the mount from sliding too easily, thus a little force is needed to lift it. This prevents the mount from sliding off by itself, but it can be slid up when it's needed! All in all, I'm quite pleased with the sliding mechanism. Further work is to get the curvature better for the nose. TAILMOUNT: The Tailmount can be printed in 1 part without support. It only works for fish-type boards since it needs the geometry of the fish-tail to prevent the board from sliding around. ASSEMBLY: Simply snap the two nosemounts together. Screw the tailmount into the wall at the desired height. Find the correct position for the nose mount when placing the board on the tailmount. Make sure the nosemount (assembled) is pressed all the way down onto the board. Make sure the mount can be slid up, and the board will be free. Install the nosemount onto the wall with screws as well. If interest is big, I might make several editions for different boards. Designed in SolidWorks.
