Abstract
A feeder stand including a rotary ground auger and base holds a feeder above the ground. An upright elongated rod defines a stand supported by an auger having helical coils removably screwed into the ground. A platform such as a round disc, or wire mesh platform is supported on the top distal end of the rod. At least two opposing legs extend perpendicular to the vertical elongated rod and auger forming a base. The distal end of selected opposing legs are bent or angled upward perpendicular from the ground forming handles for rotating the auger into the ground. The portion of the legs extending outward normal to the elongated support pole provides a base bearing against the ground for increased lateral support.
Claims13
A rotary auger stand comprising:
- a medial portion comprising an elongated rod having at least one section;
- a bottom portion comprising a helical spiral coil having a point extending downward from said elongated rod for a selected distance for penetration into the ground;
- handle means for rotating said rotary auger decoy stand formed at a selected position of said medial portion, said handle comprising at least one curved “S” shaped loop portion including a first straight section extending outwardly from said elongated rod at a selected angle from said top distal end of said elongated rod, a first, curved end section extending from a distal end of said first straight section returning 180 degrees extending inwardly toward said elongated rod forming a second straight section spaced apart, parallel, and in alignment with said first straight section extending past said elongated rod, and a second opposing curved end section returning 180 degrees extending inwardly forming a third straight section extending from said second opposing curved end section spaced apart, parallel, and in alignment with said first straight section and said second straight section;
- and a holding means supporting an article thereon or attached thereto and wherein said article is selected from the group consisting of a feeder, a birdhouse, a basket, a plate, and combinations thereof.
A rotary auger stand comprising:
- a) an elongated medial section comprising at least one elongated vertical rod;
- b) a handle section integrally formed from said elongated medial section at a selected position, said handle section comprising at least one loop including a first portion extending outwardly from said medial section at a right angle and a second portion extending upwardly over and spaced apart from and in alignment with said first portion extending past said medial section a selected equal distance from said medial section and a third portion extending downward spaced apart from and in alignment with said second portion extending inwardly a selected distance in alignment with said medial section;
- c) means for mounting an article on a top distal end of said medial section above said handle section wherein said article is selected from the group consisting of a feeder, a birdhouse, a basket, a plate, and combinations thereof;
- d) a bottom section extending from said medial section below said handle section, said bottom section comprising a helical auger portion comprising:
- i) a selected length of bar stock having a bottom portion bent into a helix comprising:
- ii) a vertical straight top segment;
- iii) a neck portion extending downward from said vertical straight top segment;
- iv) a main body portion extending downwardly from said neck portion, said main body portion comprising a helical coil extending downward therefrom a selected distance;
- v) a distal end segment comprising a helical coil portion extending downward from said main body portion;
- and
- vi) said distal end segment including a point for penetration into the ground.
