Abstract
A system for mounting taxidermy animal trophies on mounting devices comprises a support platform having a rod protruding therefrom. The rod is a ribbed member having a large plurality of features for securing an animal mount, such as a skull, thereto. For example, the ribbed member may comprise a concrete reinforcement bar that may be sized in diameter and length according to the size of the mount. The rod uses the natural occurring or existing hole or holes in the back of the skull for support thereof. The rod may extend straight from the support platform, such as for wall mounting purposes, or may comprise a bent portion at a distal end thereof for surface display of the mount.
Claims3
A taxidermy system for mounting animal trophy skulls, comprising:
- a support platform having a base surface for abutting an adjacent support surface for the apparatus and an opposite surface;
- a concrete reinforcement bar welded to and extending from the support platform at a nonorthogonal angle with respect to a plane of the opposite surface, the concrete reinforcement bar having at least one axial rib extending along a length thereof, and a plurality of ribs formed thereon along an axis thereof such that the ribs circumscribe the concrete reinforcement bar and the ribs are spaced apart from each other in the axial direction and extending radially with respect to the axis;
- an animal skull mounted to the concrete reinforcement bar such that the concrete reinforcement bar extends through the animal skull for support thereof, the ribs forming an interference fit between features located inside the animal skull and the concrete reinforcement bar;
- and
- a center of gravity of the animal skull is aligned with a geometric center of the support platform.
