Tree stand assemblies and methods of use
View Patent ↗Tree stand assemblies and methods of use are provided herein. An example assembly or device includes a tree stand seat assembly having a seat portion and a back support portion; a foot stand assembly; a main brace member coupling the seat portion to the foot stand assembly; a first anchor extending from the main brace member; and a second anchor coupled with a linear track disposed on an underside of the foot stand assembly, the second anchor capable of translating along the linear track.
1. A device, comprising:
a tree stand seat assembly comprising a seat portion and a back support portion;
a foot stand assembly;
a main brace member coupling the seat portion to the foot stand assembly;
a first anchor extending from the main brace member; and
a second anchor coupled with a linear track disposed on an underside of the foot stand assembly, the second anchor capable of translating along the linear track allowing for translation of the second anchor in a first lateral direction relative to the main brace member, further wherein the second anchor is configured to translate in a second lateral direction relative to the main brace member, the second lateral direction being perpendicular to the first lateral direction.
2. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the linear track is integrated as a component of a track frame.
3. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the first anchor comprises an anchor shaft and fork, the fork being configured to engage with a tree.
4. The device according to claim 3 , wherein the anchor shaft of the first anchor comprises a plurality of apertures that allow a positional length of the anchor shaft to be securely selected.
5. The device according to claim 4 , wherein the anchor shaft is received in a tubular anchor receiver of the main brace member.
6. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the second anchor comprises an anchor shaft and fork, the fork being configured to engage with a tree.
7. The device according to claim 6 , wherein the anchor shaft of the second anchor comprises a plurality of apertures that allow a positional length of the anchor shaft to be securely selected.
8. The device according to claim 7 , further comprising a tubular sleeve that surrounds the linear track, wherein the second anchor is coupled to the tubular sleeve.
9. The device according to claim 8 , further comprising one or more locking members that secure the tubular sleeve in place on the linear track.
10. The device according to claim 8 , further comprising a fine tuning adjustment assembly that allows for selectively radial orientation of the fork, as well as selective positioning of the fork from the anchor shaft.
11. The device according to claim 10 , wherein the fine tuning adjustment assembly comprises a threaded shaft extending from the fork and a threaded stop that can be selectively located along the threaded shaft to lock in a fine tuned position of the fork relative to the threaded shaft.
12. The device according to claim 1 , further comprising a ladder that is selectively coupled to the foot stand assembly.
13. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the seat portion and the back support portion hinge relative to one another.
14. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the linear track is perpendicularly oriented relative to an anchor shaft of the second anchor, the anchor shaft providing the translation in the second lateral direction.
