ABSTRACT:
A fixed position tree stand having extendable vertical members for adjusting the height of the seat and extendable and retractable diagonal support members for adjusting the angle of the footrest.
The invention includes an inverted U-shaped tubular frame having two extendable and retractable substantially vertical arms. The U-shaped frame is hung from a T-shaped screw handle attached to a tree. The footrest is pivotally attached at the rear thereof to the extendable and retractable vertical arms. Extendable and retractable support arms are pivotally mounted diagonally between the front of the footrest to the upper end of the extendable and retractable vertical arms. The diagonal extendable and retractable support arms permit the angle or inclination of the footrest to be adjusted. Provision is made to permit incremental automatic retraction or extension of the diagonal members by the combination of a locking pin assembly and a resilient biasing member mounted on each diagonal member. A U-shaped seat front support bar is pivotally attached to the U-shaped tubular frame. A seat is formed by a seat webbing mounted between the U-shaped tubular frame and the U-shaped front support bar. The tree stand is collapsable or foldable for transport and storage by provision of removable pins between the diagonal extendable and retractable members and the vertical extendable and retractable members. The tree stand is secured to the tree by a belt or chain attached to the U-shaped tubular frame and tightened by a buckle.
