Abstract
Tree stands that may be removeably and replaceably attached to tree trunks having a wide variety of diameters are described. Tree stands that provide 360° platforms are also described. According to one exemplary embodiment, a tree stand may include a platform, a collar that may be removeably and replaceably attached to a tree trunk and that may include multiple first receiving portions, and multiple support bars supporting the platform on the collar. The multiple support bars may be removeably and replaceably insertable into the multiple first receiving portions.
Claims25
A tree stand comprising:
- a platform,
- a substantially cylindrical collar being removeably and replaceably attachable to a tree trunk, the collar including an inner surface adapted to face towards the tree trunk, an outer surface adapted to face away from the tree trunk, and multiple first receiving portions disposed on at least one of the inner surface and the outer surface of the collar, and
- multiple support bars supporting the platform on the collar, at least one of the multiple support bars being removeably and replaceably insertable into at least one of the multiple first receiving portions, at least one portion of the at least one of the multiple support bars being removeably and replaceably positionable within the at least one of the multiple first receiving portions, at least one of the multiple support bars being removeably and replaceably receivable within at least one portion of the platform.
A tree stand comprising:
- a platform that spans a planar angle of approximately 360°,
- a collar being removeably and replaceably attachable to a tree trunk, the collar including multiple receiving tubes, at least one of the multiple receiving tubes being welded to an outer surface of the collar, the outer surface adapted to face away from the tree trunk, and
- multiple support bars supporting the platform on the collar, at least one of the multiple support bars having an L-shape including a base and an elongated portion oriented substantially perpendicular to the base, the base being removeably and replaceably insertable into at least one of the multiple receiving tubes, the elongated portion being removeably and replaceably receivable within at least one portion of the platform.
A tree stand comprising:
- a platform,
- a collar being removeably and replaceably attachable to a tree trunk, the collar including an outer surface adapted to face away from the tree trunk and multiple tubes disposed on the outer surface, and
- multiple support bars supporting the platform on the collar, at least one of the multiple support bars being removeably and replaceably insertable into at least one of the multiple tubes, at least one portion of the at least one of the multiple support bars being removeably and replaceably positionable within the at least one of the multiple tubes, at least one of the multiple support bars being removeably and replaceably receivable within at least one portion of the platform.
A tree stand comprising:
- a platform,
- a collar being removeably and replaceably attachable to a tree trunk, the collar including multiple first receiving portions, the collar further including two collar portions that are hingedly attachable at a first end and releasably fastenable at a second end, and
- multiple support bars supporting the platform on the collar, at least one of the multiple support bars being removeably and replaceably insertable into at least one of the multiple first receiving portions, at least one portion of the at least one of the multiple support bars being removeably and replaceably positionable within the at least one of the multiple first receiving portions, at least one of the multiple support bars being removeably and replaceably receivable within at least one portion of the platform.
A tree stand comprising:
- a platform,
- a collar being removeably and replaceably attachable to a tree trunk, the collar including multiple first receiving portions,
- multiple support bars supporting the platform on the collar, at least one of the multiple support bars being removeably and replaceably insertable into at least one of the multiple first receiving portions, at least one portion of the at least one of the multiple support bars being removeably and replaceably insertable into the at least one of the multiple first receiving portions, at least one of the multiple support bars being removeably and replaceably receivable within at least one portion of the platform, and
- multiple support legs, at least one of the multiple support legs being pivotally mountable at a first end to the platform and removeably and replaceable attachable at a second end to the tree trunk.
