Abstract
A moving decoy support system for easy placement of decoys on stakes, and natural motion. The moving decoy support system generally includes a motion cone for the decoy, in which the motion cone has a first end, a second end, and a cavity extending into the first end toward the second end. The cavity has an opening at the first end and an upper surface at the second end which supports the decoy on a stake. The motion cone is mountable in the bottom of the decoy body. The motion cone may also have an upper, cylindrical portion and a funnel-shaped portion at the opening, so that the opening is larger than the inside, top of the cone. This allows for easier placement of the decoy on the stake. The motion cone allows the decoy to rotate and rock on the stake, giving the appearance of natural motion.
Claims20
A motion cone for a decoy, comprising:
- a first end and a second end;
- a cavity extending into the first end toward the second end, the cavity comprising an opening proximate the first end and an upper surface proximate the second end;
- a cylindrical portion proximate the second end;
- and
- a funnel-shaped portion proximate the first end, wherein a cross sectional area of the cavity decreases along the funnel-shaped portion in relation to a distance from the opening toward the cylindrical portion;
- wherein the upper surface is shaped and positionable within the decoy to movably support the decoy on a stake end;
- and
- wherein the decoy is rotatable relative to the stake end.
A decoy, comprising:
- a decoy body having a bottom;
- and
- a motion cone mounted in the bottom, the motion cone comprising:
- a first end and a second end;
- a cavity extending into the first end toward the second end, the cavity comprising an opening proximate the first end and an upper surface proximate the second end;
- a cylindrical portion proximate the second end;
- and
- a funnel-shaped portion proximate the first end, wherein a cross sectional area of the cavity decreases along the funnel-shaped portion in relation to a distance from the opening toward the cylindrical portion;
- wherein the upper surface is shaped and positioned within the decoy to movably support the decoy on a stake end;
- and
- wherein the decoy is rotatable relative to the stake end.
