ABSTRACT:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The invention relates to a tree stand with a seat that is adjustable in location to make the tree stand adaptable for hunting with bow and arrows or a rifle by advantageously and easily changing the location of the seat while hunting.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Tree stands that are adaptable for hunting with bow and arrows are known. See, for example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,316,104 to Amacker, and U.S. Pat. No. 4,236,602 to Leggett.
Amacker provides a seating section with a cross member on the tree stand. The cross member can be removed and replaced in a vertical orientation at the side of the tree stand to provide space for hunting with bow and arrows.
Leggett provides a pivotal seat that can be moved to a vertical position at the front of the tree stand to provide space for hunting with bow and arrows.
Neither Amacker or Leggett disclose or suggest applicant's concept of providing a seat that can be positioned on a tree stand for use while hunting with a rifle and easily repositioned while the tree stand is in use to provide seating and space for hunting with bow and arrows.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The tree stand has a foot climber and a seat climber that are to be used by a hunter in a conventional manner to climb a tree. The seat climber has a removable seat and tubular sleeves with retractable inserts that can be retracted within their sleeves and the seat positioned on the sleeves in close proximity to the tree to obtain unobstructed space and view for an archer or bow hunter. The retractable inserts can be extended and the seat repositioned on the inserts in outwardly spaced relation to the tree, so the hunter faces the tree when seated. The seat is positioned closer to the tree for an archer, who can sit with his back to the tree.
