Abstract
A climbing tree stand for hunting or other outdoor activity includes a platform and tubular frame members connected thereto and at least partly supporting the platform. A yoke is connected to the platform for engaging the tree and a cable couples the platform to the tree with the ends of the cable carrying a series of nuts securely mounted thereadjacent. Cleats are positioned at the tubular frame members for releasably securing the cable ends using the nuts on the cables. The cleats include keyhole-shaped openings and moveable covers for covering the openings. The yoke includes two sections which are oriented at an acute angle with respect to each other to partly straddle the tree.
Claims22
A climbing tree stand for use with a tree and comprising:
- a platform;
- a plurality of tubular frame members connected to said platform for supporting said platform adjacent a tree, said tubularframe members being arranged at a non-zero angle with respect to said platform and at least one of said tubular frame members having a cable retention clasp having a slot;
- engagement means connected to said platform for engaging the tree;
- a cable with a series of nuts fixedly positioned adjacent at least one end of said cable for releasable retention by said at least one cable retention clasp, with said at least one end of said cable being received within the interior of said tubular frame members;
- and
- wherein with a load placed on said climbing tree stand said cable is secured by one of said nuts being pulled fast against said at least one cable retention clasp.
A climbing tree stand for use with a tree and comprising:
- a platform;
- at least one tubular frame member connected to and at least partly supporting said platform adjacent the tree;
- a yoke connected to said platform for engaging the tree;
- a flexible lanyard for coupling said platform to the tree, at least one end of said flexible lanyard having a series of nuts securely mounted fixedly thereto;
- and
- a lanyard retention joint adjacent said at least one tubular frame member for releasably securing one of said nuts of said flexible lanyard and having a slot formed therein for receiving a portion of said flexible lanyard therethrough;
- wherein with a load placed on said climbing tree stand said lanyard can be secured by one of said nuts being pulled fast against said lanyard retention joint.
A climbing tree stand for use with a tree and comprising:
- a platform;
- at least one frame member connected to and at least partly supporting said platform adjacent the tree;
- a yoke connected to said platform for engaging the tree;
- a cable for coupling said platform to the tree, at least one end of said cable having a series of nuts securely mounted fixedly thereto;
- and
- a cable retention joint adjacent said at least one frame member for releasably securing at least one of said nuts of said cable, said cable retention joint having at least one pair of opposite-opening spaced-apart members each having a channel formed therein for receiving a portion of said at least one end of said cable therethrough, wherein with a load placed on said climbing tree stand said cable can be secured by at least one of said nuts being pulled fast against at least one of said opposite-opening spaced-apart members.
