Floating decoy adapter for land use

A floating decoy adapter for retaining a floating decoy, comprising:

• a substantially vertical support plate;
• an attachment plate extending substantially perpendicular from one end of said substantially vertical support plate;
• a base section extending substantially perpendicular from an other end of said substantially vertical support plate, said base section extending substantially completely along its length from said substantially vertical support plate in a direction opposite to said attachment plate, said base section having first and second ends, said first end being at an intersection of said vertical support plate and said base section, said second end of said base section having an edge with a notch therein which extends from said second end toward said first end, said base section having at least one opening or hole extending therethrough which is located between said notch and said first end;
• and
• means for securing the floating decoy to said attachment plate comprising:
• a retention slot formed both through and substantially along a length of said attachment plate, said retention slot being adapted to capture a web area of the floating decoy;
• and
• a clearance opening which is formed through said substantially vertical support plate adjacent said retention slot to provide clearance for a retention projection of the floating decoy, and wherein said retention slot opens into and communicates with said clearance opening at an intersection of said attachment plate and said substantially vertical support plate.

A floating decoy adapter system for enabling floating decoy land use, comprising:

• a floating decoy;
• and
• a floating decoy adapter, comprising:
• a substantially vertical support plate which includes a clearance opening formed therethrough to provide clearance for a retention projection of the floating decoy,
• an attachment plate extending substantially perpendicular from one end of said substantially vertical support plate, said attachment plate being adapted to engage the floating decoy, said attachment plate includes a retention slot formed therethrough and along a substantial length thereof, said retention slot opening into and communicating with said clearance opening at an intersection of said attachment plate and said substantially vertical support plate, and said retention slot is adapted to capture a web area of the floating decoy as at least a portion of the retention projection of the floating decoy is inserted through said clearance opening, and
• a base section extending substantially perpendicular from an other end of said substantially vertical support plate, and wherein said base section extends from said substantially vertical support plate in a direction opposite said attachment plate.
