Claims14
A tension/compression decoy motion device comprising:
- a. a lower member comprising:
- i. a longitudinal axis parallel to the longitudinal axis of an upper member;
- ii. two ends wherein the first end is connected to a center member, and the second end is made for either insertion into the ground, into a platform, or left unattached;
- b. the upper member comprising:
- i. a longitudinal axis parallel to the longitudinal axis of the lower member;
- ii. two ends wherein the first end is connected to the center member, and the second end is fashioned in a way that allows for attachment to various decoys;
- c. the center member comprising:
- i. of two halves that are at an axis perpendicular to the axis of the upper and lower member;
- ii. one of the two halves having a slightly smaller diameter as the other half, and the smaller half able to slide into the larger half;
- iii. the smaller half having a recessed groove to allow for the attachment of the filament, this filament being covered by the larger half;
- iv. the larger half having a slot to allow the passage of the filament to the outside of the center member;
- v. one of the two halves having a center pole that has a longitudinal axis that is parallel to longitudinal axis of the upper and lower members with the other half of the center member having a slot for insertion of the opposing center pole that allows the two halves to be joined but still be able to rotate independently of the other half;
- vi. the upper half of the center member being attached to the upper member, and the lower half of the center member being attached to the lower member;
- d. a tension /compression connector comprising:
- i. a tension /compression element having one end fixed to the side of one half of the center member and the other end fixed to the center pole of the other half of the center member;
- e. the filament coupled to the smaller diameter half of the center member and extending through the slot in the larger diameter half of the center member and extended to the user,
- wherein the tension/compression element contained within the two halves causes two halves and therefore the upper and lower member to have a set position relative to one another while at rest;
- wherein a force applied to the tension/compression element by the filament causes one half of the center member and therefore the upper and lower members to rotate away from the set resting position relative to one another;
- wherein when this force that has been applied to filament and in turn the tension/compression element is lessoned it causes one half of the center member and therefore the upper and lower members to move back toward the set resting position relative to one another.
