Claims20
A climbing platform device for enabling a user to climb a tree to an elevated position, the climbing platform device comprising:
- a platform assembly including a single platform;
- and
- a trunk capture assembly including a first arm, a second arm, and a cable;
- wherein the first and second arms are connected to the platform, and the cable is extendable between the first and second arms;
- wherein the climbing platform device is configured to provide a climbing state in which the cable extends around a tree trunk opposite the single platform and all forces applied by a user onto the climbing platform device to ascend the tree trunk are transmitted through the single platform.
A climbing tree stand system for enabling a user to climb a tree to an elevated position and stand at the elevated position, the system comprising:
- a climbing platform device comprising:
- a platform assembly including a single platform,
- a trunk capture assembly including a first arm, a second arm, and a cable,
- wherein the first and second arms are connected to the platform, and the cable is extendable between the first and second arms;
- and
- a first securing line for securing the climbing platform device to a tree trunk;
- wherein the climbing tree stand system is free of any additional user-support platforms apart from the single platform, and further wherein the climbing platform device is configured to provide a climbing state in which the cable extends around a tree trunk opposite the single platform and all forces applied by a user onto the climbing platform device to ascend the tree trunk are transmitted through the single platform.
