Abstract
The present invention is a 180° rotatable tree stand that has an embodiment that allows the tree stand to be manually manipulated to control the rotation. Another embodiment has the rotation operated and controlled by electric motors and controls in the seat. Another embodiment allows the user to use a remote control to manipulate the seat. The seat will rotate 360° . The tree stand is secure to the tree by a hanger and a cable and pulley system manipulate the rotation and leveling both forward and back ward. It also allows for adjustment from side to side to perfectly level the platform.

A motorized, controllable, tree stand, said tree stand comprising in combination:
- a tree hanger, said tree hanger comprising two, spaced-apart, parallel to each other, vertical posts;
- each vertical post having a front, a back, side surfaces, a mid-section, a distal end and a near end;
- said distal ends of each vertical post having a cross member fixedly attached to the back thereof;
- said distal ends of each vertical post having an end of a first tree spike fixedly attached to the respective back surfaces of each vertical post;
- said near ends of each vertical post having a cross member fixedly attached to the bottom thereof, said cross member length exceeding the total width of the vertical posts;
- said near ends of each vertical post having an end of a second tree spike fixedly attached to the respective back surfaces of each vertical post;
- a first rotatable roller bar mounted between the vertical posts, said first rotatable roller bar having two terminal ends, an electric motor attached to one said terminal end thereof;
- a second rotatable roller bar mounted between the vertical posts, said second rotatable roller bar having two terminal ends, an electric motor attached to one said terminal end thereof;
- a third rotatable roller bar mounted between the vertical posts, said third rotatable roller bar having two terminal ends, an electric motor attached to one said terminal end thereof;
- a platform frame, said platform frame having a size to support a person and having a tubular framework comprising two side bars, a front bar, two back bars and a central supporting bar, and said platform having a vertical housing fixedly attached to said central supporting bar;
- said vertical housing containing a seat post and surmounted on said seat post, a seat support assembly, said seat post being freely rotatable in said vertical housing, there being a seat surmounting said seat support assembly;
- there being an attachment plate surmounted on a portion of the platform frame, and near a front corner thereof;
- a third cable attached to said attachment plate, said third cable extending from said attachment plate and extending to said first rotatable roller bar;
- a second cable attached to one said side bar, extending over said second rotatable roller bar, and extending to the opposite said side bar;
- a first cable attached to a back bar, said first cable extending to and around a third rotatable roller pulley surmounted on said cross member that is attached to said near ends of said vertical posts.
