Remotely operated electronic rotatable decoy stand
View Patent ↗This invention includes a Remotely-operated Electronic Rotatable Decoy Stand designed to support and impart rotational motion to a male turkey decoy. The remotely-operated electronic rotatable decoy stand is removably coupled to a male turkey decoy and is controlled directly by a human observer through activation of an electronic emitting remote fob. When operated, the fob imparts a single signal to the rotatable decoy stand. Upon receipt of the signal, the rotatable decoy stand rotates the coupled decoy at a rotational speed equal to that of a male turkey when presenting and rotating in its natural strutting display. Bi-directional rotation of the decoy is dependent upon the signal direction chosen by the human observer. When positioned in a location likely to be observed by the turkey, the rotational motion provides a method of attracting turkeys. Multiple Remotely-operated Electronic Rotatable Decoy Stands can be non-mechanically electronically linked to and controlled by a single electronic emitting remote fob.
1. A remotely operated electronic rotatable decoy stand, wherein said stand comprises a lid and a base;
a plurality of stakes connected to said stand whereby a secure mounting to the ground may be established; a spindle extending upwardly from said lid to receive a decoy; said spindle having an associated spindle receiver;
wherein said lid and base together form a means to house an electronic control system comprising: an internal electronic control board, a direct current motor and associated drive spur gear, a driven reduced spur gear, and a driven spur gear affixed to the spindle receiver;
an electronic remote fob when activated emits a signal received by the electronic control board thereby allowing the electronic system to work to rotate an associated decoy at approximately four revolutions per minute;
said remote fob being capable of signaling, thereby activating, up to five of said electronic rotatable decoy stands simultaneously.
2. The rotatable decoy stand of claim 1 , wherein the electronic control system is programmable.
