Tree stabilizer and a method of using the same
View Patent ↗A tree stabilizer assembly including a receiver tube, tube base, bar extension with holes, large strap base, snap-in pin, large strap for the tree base, T-post strap, and T-post clamp. The large strap for the tree base couples the assembly to a tree. The tube base is configured to receive a portion of the receiver tube.
1 . A tree stabilizer comprising:
a receiver tube extending along a longitudinal axis and configured to slidingly receive and couple to a bar extension with holes in a plurality of lengths along the longitudinal axis; and
a first terminal end coupled to the receiver tube and a second terminal end coupled to an opposing end of the bar extension, each of the first terminal end and second terminal end comprising:
a flexible member extending from the terminal end and configured to wrap around a respective vertical member and couple back to the terminal end such that the receiver tube and bar extension extend between and maintain a selected one of the plurality of lengths between the respective vertical members;
a strap base configured to receive the bar extension with holes and receive on an opposing strap base side a strap base configured to receive a tree base strap; and,
wherein the opposing strap base side is releasably coupled to the strap base.
2 . The tree stabilizer of claim 1 , wherein the receiver tube further comprises a first and second segment configured to enclose the bar extension with holes.
3 . The tree stabilizer of claim 1 , further comprising a tube base configured to receive the receiver tube and receive on a tube base opposing side a T-post strap configured to receive a T-post clamp.
4 . The tree stabilizer of claim 1 , further comprising a snap in pin configured to be received in an aperture located on the receiver tube to secure the bar extension in a fixed position and configured to affix the predetermined length of the bar extension.
5 . The tree stabilizer of claim 1 , wherein the opposing strap base side is fixedly attached to the strap base.
6 . The tree stabilizer of claim 3 , wherein the tube base opposing side is fixedly attached to the T-Post strap.
7 . The tree stabilizer of claim 3 , wherein the tube base opposing side is releasably coupled to the T-Post strap.
8 . The tree stabilizer of claim 1 , wherein the receiver tube is configured to adjustably enclose the bar extension with holes along a predetermined positioning along a longitudinal axis of the bar extension.
9 . The tree stabilizer of claim 1 , wherein the tube base further comprises a slot configured such that the T-post strap may extend from one side around a support structure on the opposite side and be received by an opposing slot.
10 . The tree stabilizer of claim 1 , wherein the tree base strap comprises multiple apertures extending along the tree base strap length.
11 . The tree stabilizer of claim 3 , wherein the tree strap base is configured to allow quick release of the strap for adjustments.
12 . The tree stabilizer of claim 3 , wherein the T-Post Clamp is configured to allow quick release of a T-post for adjustments.
13 . The tree stabilizer of claim 1 , wherein the bar extension includes a series of incremental markings for precise positioning along the receiver tube.
