Abstract
The free standing boat accessory telescopic pedestal device has a trapezoidal reinforced base with a pair of upwardly disposed spaced apart ears. A cylinder is downwardly and pivotally affixed to the ears and has a wing-nutted bolt disposed through the cylinder upwardly within the ears. Removal of the wing-nutted bolt allows the cylinder to pivot from an upward position to a position coplanar with the base. A larger tube is affixed upwardly to the cylinder. A smaller tube is slidably and rotatably disposed within the larger tube and is positioned therein via a twist lock. A platform is perpendicularly affixed atop the smaller tube and accepts accessories such as a GPS, a depth finder, a camera, a telescope, and the like.
Claims8
A free standing boat accessory telescopic pedestal device comprising:
- a trapezoidal base having a top side and a bottom side spaced apart from the top side;
- a plurality of apertures disposed through the trapezoidal base;
- a pair of spaced apart ears perpendicularly disposed atop the trapezoidal base, each ear of the pair of ears having rounded corners disposed upwardly;
- a first hole disposed through the pair of ears proximal the base;
- a second hole disposed through the pair of ears above the first hole, the second hole distal the base;
- a cylinder pivotally disposed between the pair of ears, the cylinder having a first orifice and a second orifice spaced apart from the first orifice, the first and second orifice selectively aligned with the first hole and the second hole, respectively;
- an annulus disposed around an approximate midpoint of the cylinder;
- a nutted bolt selectively disposed through first hole and the first orifice;
- a wing-nutted bolt selectively disposed through the second hole and the second orifice;
- wherein a removal of the wing-nutted bolt is configured to allow a pivot of the cylinder around the nutted bolt;
- wherein the rounded corners are configured to provide a clearance for the annulus;
- a larger tube having a proximal end and a distal end spaced apart from the proximal end, the proximal end disposed around the cylinder above the annulus;
- a twist lock disposed on the distal end;
- a plurality of fasteners affixing the proximal end to the cylinder;
- a smaller tube having a first end and a second end spaced apart from the first end, the smaller tube slidably and rotatably disposed within the larger tube;
- wherein the smaller tube is slidably disposed within the larger tube;
- a platform disposed perpendicularly atop the second end;
- and
- a plurality of foramen disposed within the platform;
- wherein the platform is configured to selectively hold a plurality of accessories.
