Abstract
A portable deer pole for releasable attachment to the rear bumper of a pickup truck comprising a substantially vertical boom attachable to the bumper with its upper free end fitted with a pulley and a cable wound on a winch adjacent the lower end with the cable extending over the pulley to a spreader adapted to hold an animal carcass for skinning, and two supporting cable portions attachable at one end to the side panels of a truck and at the other end to the boom adjacent its upper free end.
Claims14
A portable disassemblable deer pole for releasable attachment to a rear portion of a pickup truck comprising an elongated tubular boom having separate proximal and distal end portions connected to each other to form said boom, connecting means secured to said proximal end portion for attaching said boom to a rear bumper of a pickup truck, a pulley attached to said distal end, a winch outwardly affixed to said proximal end portion of said boom spaced above said connecting means, a first passageway through said distal end portion generally above and adjacent said winch, a cable windable on said winch and extending through said first passageway and through the hollow of said distal end portion and out a second passageway to a free end extending over and engaging said pulley whereby said cable extends outwardly of said boom below said first passageway and inwardly of said boom above said first passageway to enable ready disassembly of said distal end portion from said proximal end portion, a spreader being attached to said free end of said cable upon which an animal carcass may be hung for skinning, said support means attachable at one end to said distal end portion and attachable at the other end to said truck.
A portable disassemblable deer pole releasably attached to a rear bumper of a pickup truck comprising a two-section telescopic boom having a proximal end portion and a distal end portion, means for pivotal attachment of said proximal end portion to a rear bumper, a pulley affixed to said distal end portion, said boom including a single linear section of a hollow rectangular tubular material extending from said proximal end to the telescopic junction of the two sections, and an annular linear section of rectangular tubular material having a lower end which telescopically slides over the outside of said single linear section at said junction and an upper end forming said distal end with said pulley attached thereto, a hand operable winch mounted on and outwardly of said single linear section, a first passageway extending through a wall of said annular linear section of said boom generally above and adjacent said winch, a flexible cable wound on said winch, extending through said first passageway and upwardly through the hollow of said boom and out a second passageway at the far end of said annular linear section and over said pulley to a free end whereby said cable extends outwardly of said boom below said first passageway and inwardly of said boom above said first passageway to enable ready disassembly of said annular linear section from said single linear section, a spreader member having a pair of hooks from which an animal carcass may be hung for skinning, said spreader member being attached to said free end of said cable, a pair of flexible cable supports each being attachable at one end adjacent a respective side of a truck and at the other end to said annular linear section of said boom.
