Abstract

Abstract A portable tree seat for hunters which includes a support arm which is pivotally attached to a tree clamp. The arm can be fixed in several rotatable positions with respect to the clamp. A seat is supported from a fork support which is adjustable along the arm at several positions for a horizontal position of the arm and at another position for a vertical position of the arm. The seat may be rotated with respect to the arm to several fixed positions.

Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim 76 words
A hunter tree seat comprising: an arm; a limb holder for attaching to a tree; a seat support; first connecting means rotatably connecting said arm to said limb holder and including securing means to secure the limb holder and seat support in any one of several rotational positions; second connecting means for rotatably connecting the arm to said seat support including means to secure said seat support and said arm in any one of several positions.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 76 words
A hunter tree seat comprising: an arm; a limb holder for attaching to a tree; a seat support; first connecting means rotatably connecting said arm to said limb holder and including securing means to secure the limb holder and seat support in any one of several rotational positions; second connecting means for rotatably connecting the arm to said seat support including means to secure said seat support and said arm in any one of several positions.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 64 words
A hunter tree seat as defined in claim 1 which said seat support includes a seat support yoke, a seat member having a leg extending into the space between the prongs of said yoke and a pivot holding said leg in said yoke and means to secure said leg at any of a plurality of rotational positions of said leg member about said pivot.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 59 words
A hunter tree support as defined in claim 2 in which said first connecting means includes a longitudinal slot on each side of said arm and a cavity semi-circular shaped at the end of said slot opposite the limb holder and a plurality of holes through said slot and said arm and at least one hole through said cavity.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 35 words
A hunter tree support as defined in claim 3 including a holding ridge supported by said seat support yoke and of a size to slidably fit within said slot and to revolve within said cavity.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 371 words
A hunter tree seat comprising: an arm having an elongated section which is essentially rectangular in cross-section and a head at one end of said elongated section, said elongated section having an elongated slot on either side thereof which opens into a cavity of largely semi-circular shape, said cavity being at the end opposite said head, there being a plurality of arm holes through said slot and one hole in said cavity, said head having a center pivot hole therethrough and a plurality of positioning holes along the outer periphery of said head on an arc with the center being said pivot hole; a limb holder for connecting to said head and having a projection on either side thereof with a hole therethrough, a bolt for insertion through said pivot holes of said limb holder and said head, said limb holder having a position hole therethrough, a limb holder positioning bolt for insertion through said holes and said positioning holes of said head, said limb holder having two arms at essentially 90° with serrations on the inside thereof, and a means for holding the two arms of said limb holder to a tree; a tree seat holder including a tree seat yoke having two yoke members which fit on opposite side of said arm and a holding ridge which fits into said elongated slot of said arm, a ridge hole extending through said holding ridge, and a second positioning bolt for insertion through said ridge holes in a selected arm hole in said slot or said cavity; said support yoke having two prongs each having a yoke pivot hole therethrough and aligned with each other and a prong positioning hole through said prongs; a seat support having a leg extendable into the space between said prongs, a hole in said leg, a pivot bolt insertable through said pivot holes of said prongs and said leg, said leg having a plurality of leg positioning holes on one or more arc having said yoke pivot hole as the center and the same radius as the distance the appropriate prong positioning hole is from said yoke pivot hole, and a positioning bolt for insertion through said positioning hole of said prongs and said leg.
