Dressing holder for small game

Claim 2

A holder for facilitating dressing of small game comprising an upstanding diamond-shaped frame adapted for use in a position in which the vertices of the obtuse angles are diametrically opposed and the longitudinal axis of the diamond-shaped frame passes vertically in bisecting relationship with the upper acute angle defined by the upper pair of legs of said frame, a pointed projection extending outwardly and upwardly from each of the junctions of the upper and lower legs of said frame which define one of said obtuse angles, and a downwardly directed loop portion joined coextensively to transversely spaced lower ends of the downwardly converging lower legs of said frame, the maximum transverse width of the enclosure defined by said loop portion being less than the maximum transverse width of the enclosure defined by said diamond-shaped frame, and the separation of said transversely spaced lower ends being less than the maximum interior transverse width of said arcuate loop portion.

Claim 3

The holder as defined in claim 1, wherein each pointed projection extends from the upper end of the lower leg of said diamond-shaped frame with which it is associated and is coextensively aligned therewith.

Claim 4

The holder as claimed in claim 1, in which a lower portion of the lower legs of said frame along with said loop portion are positioned forwardly with respect to the plane defined by the rear surfaces of the upper legs of the frame, whereby access to the loop enclosure is facilitated when the holder is supported along a vertical wall surface.

Claim 5

The holder in accordance with claim 3, in which each projection is an upwardly pointed extension of one of the lower legs of said diamond-shaped frame.

Claim 6

A holder for facilitating dressing of small game comprising an upright, longitudinally extending generally quadrilateral diamond-shaped frame adapted for use in a position in which the obtuse angles bounded by the four legs of the diamond-shaped frame are horizontally opposed and the longitudinal axis of the diamond-shaped frame passes vertically in bisecting relationship with the upper acute angle defined by the upper pair of legs of said diamond-shaped frame, an upwardly extending tab merging with the juncture of the upper ends of said upper pair of legs, a rearwardly directed aperture in said tab for receiving a supporting member from which the holder may be suspended, a pointed projection extending outwardly from each of the junctions of the upper and lower legs of said frame which define one of said obtuse angles, and a downwardly directed arcuate loop portion joined coextensively to transversely spaced lower ends of the downwardly converging lower legs of said frame, the separation of said transversely spaced lower ends being less than the diametral width of the enclosure defined by said arcuate loop portion.

Claim 7

A holder for facilitating dressing of small game comprising an upright, longitudinally extending generally quadrilateral diamond-shaped frame adapted for use in a position in which the obtuse angles bounded by the four legs of the diamond-shaped frame are horizontally opposed and the longitudinal axis of the diamond-shaped frame passes vertically in bisecting relationship with the upper acute angle defined by the upper pair of legs of said diamond-shaped frame, an upwardly extending tab merging with the juncture of the upper ends of said upper pair of legs, a rearwardly directed aperture in said tab for receiving a supporting member from which the holder may be suspended, a pointed projection extending outwardly from each of the junctions of the upper and lower legs of said frame which define one of said obtuse angles, and a downwardly directed arcuate loop portion joined coextensively to transversely spaced lower ends of the downwardly converging lower legs of said frame, the separation of said transversely spaced lower ends being less than the diametral width of the enclosure defined by said arcuate loop portion.
