Abstract
An L-shaped tree seat frame includes a forward leg and a side leg on which a rear leg is slidably mounted and limited against relative rotation by cooperating rib and groove deformations in the sleeve of the rear leg and the top wall of the tubular side leg. Foam material filling the side leg includes pin passageways for guiding a locking pin through the sleeve and selected aligned openings in the side leg. The seat includes three spaced apart fingers which allow for a person's hand to grasp a center finger and balance the tree seat while the person's other hand positions the rear leg against the back side of a tree for locking the tree seat to a tree.
Claims7
A tree seat, comprising:
- an L-shaped frame including a front leg and a side leg adapted to engage the front and one side of a tree;
- an adjustable rear leg moveably mounted on said side leg for adjustably engaging the back side of trees of different sizes;
- a forwardly extending seat secured to said front leg of said L-shaped frame;
- said adjustable rear leg including a sleeve which receives said side leg and locking means for selectively locking said rear leg to said side leg;
- said sleeve and side leg having cooperating rib and groove means for limiting pivotal movement of said adjustable rear leg on said side leg;
- said side leg being tubular and including top and bottom wall portions each of said wall portions horizontally including longitudinally spaced apart aligned openings in said groove in said side leg, and said sleeve including top and bottom wall portions having vertically aligned openings, and a pin extending through said sleeve aligned openings and selectively through aligned openings in said side leg to limit relative longitudinal movement between said adjustable rear leg and said side leg;
- and
- said tubular side leg being filled with foam material including a series of vertical pin passageways in alignment with said aligned openings in said tubular side thereby providing a guide for said pin through said tubular side leg.
