ABSTRACT:
A horizontal completely and freely rotatable seat about a central vertical axis, which seat has a central cylindrical socket portion having a lower larger bearing and an upper smaller bearing for a correspondingly shaped hollow bell-shaped plug with depending leg means for supporting said seat for free rotation about the plug. The bearings may be of antifriction plastic and anchored to the socket in the seat. The seat may comprise a hollow torus or donut-shaped container with a correspondingly shaped cover removably held on said container by a pair of diametrically spaced slip-cords. The slip-cords also may be used for holding the removable plug and leg means and for attaching a shoulder strap and/or belt clip for carrying the seat in its knocked-down or collapsed condition. The plug and leg means may comprise collapsible tripod legs with removable, replaceable and/or telescopic feet to best fit the surface upon which they are to rest and support the seat. Cord means may be also provided for limiting the spread of the tripod legs which are pivoted at their upper ends inside the hollow plug around an axial tube which extends out the upper side of the plug and forms the smaller bearing surface for the smaller bearing in the socket of the seat and its cover. Also the tubular axis can act as a socket for a Y-shaped removable yoke for use as a gun rest or support for the front end of a snowmobile, or the like. Instead of tripod legs, a single leg or post may be attached to the axial tube in the bell-shaped plug, which single leg may have a pointed end and a spaced flange for sticking and limiting its insertion into soft ground, or the single leg may be attached to the inside of the bell and have a horizontal plate at its lower free end for mounting onto a board or a platform on a tree, or the leg may be short with spikes for engaging a log.
