Abstract
A tree stand consists of mounting structure and a platform member, the platform member being rotatable about the mounting structure to permit facile reorientation without need for dismounting by the occupant. The platform member may itself provide the necessary seating and standing areas, or those parts may be provided as a separate assembly.
Claims10
A tree stand having a rotatable platform member, comprising:
- mounting structure, including at least a first circular track member, having an outside surface portion thereon for circumscribing a supporting tree trunk at a first level, and fastening means for disengageably fastening said mounting structure to a tree trunk with said first track member extending thereabout;
- and
- a platform member having first and second engagement components operatively joined to one another at axially and transversely spaced positions, for receiving a tree trunk axially therebetween and for operative engagement on transversely opposite sides thereof at different levels, said first engagement component slidably engaging said outside surface portion of said first track member, and said second engagement component being disposed to slidably engage a surface below said first track member, to permit rotation of said platform member to positions angularly displaced about said mounting structure.
The stand of claim 10 where said first and second components are joined to one another by a brace having elements that extend generally diagonally therebetween.
