Abstract
This invention provides for a pyramidal free-standing upright support for a taxidermy mount. The support body is formed by a plurality of trapezoidal-shaped substantially planar body panels and a flat top panel detachably securable together. The top panel is provided with a central opening, which receives an attachment assembly. The attachment assembly, in turn, holds the taxidermy mount above the top panel when in use. The body panels and the top panels can be transported flat and assembled on site.
Claims11
A free-standing support stand for taxidermy mounts, comprising:
- (i) an upright body having a flat top panel extending horizontally when in use, the top panel being provided with a central opening;
- and
- (ii) an attachment assembly secured in the central opening, the attachment assembly being configured to engage and support a taxidermy mount above the top panel;
- wherein the upright body has a configuration of a truncated square pyramid and comprises a substantially planar front panel, a substantially planar back panel, and a pair of planar side panels, each of the front panel, the back panel, and the side panels having a trapezoidal configuration, the top panel having a rectangular configuration, said front panel, said back panel, said side panels, and said top panel being detachably secured together when in use;
- wherein the front panel and the back panel each is provided with inwardly folded parts extending along respective longitudinal edges of the front panel and the back panel;
- and
- wherein each of the folded parts is provided with a plurality of spaced-apart openings, wherein a corresponding number of matchingly spaced-apart openings is formed along longitudinal edges of the side panels, said openings being configured to receive a securing member therein, and wherein the folded parts are engageable with the longitudinal edges of the side panels when the openings are aligned.
