Stability Enhancing Attachment For Tree Stands
US Patent:
2013034, Dec 26, 2013
Filed:
Jun 25, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/532161
Inventors:
Michael Thompson - Virginia Beach VA, US
International Classification:
F16M 13/02, B23P 11/00
US Classification:
2482174, 29428
Abstract:
A stability enhancing attachment (SEA) is attached to a tubular member of conventional tree stand frames. Two attachment strategies are disclosed. The SEAs are particularly useful when two tree stand frames are utilized cooperatively to support a hunter or the like in an elevated position in a tree. A first, platform-bearing lower tree stand frame supports the weight of the hunter thereupon. A second tree stand frame is also attached to the tree above the first, typically at waist height. As an occupant shifts his weight or changes position, the lower, weight-bearing tree stand frame tends to remain level and in position. However, the upper tree stand frame may shift position as the hunter moves. The SEAs of the present invention may be readily added to a standard prior art tree stand frame and used to provide stability, particularly to the upper, of a pair of tree stand frames.
