  • Patent number: 9661840
    Abstract: An apparatus for attracting animals includes a rotating carousel on a base. A bearing attached to the base supports a rotating shaft. A rotating upper plate is attached to an upper end of the shaft. One or more curved members extend outward from the upper plate and each supports at least one decoy. Placement of the decoys at varying elevations and at varying distances away from a center provides a more realistic presentation and also helps provide unequal force in the wind, which along with use of the bearing, promotes rotation of the carousel in even a light breeze, thereby eliminating the need for a motor. A rotating battery is preferably included. The battery allows for integral wiring and the use of solar panels, which provide the additional benefit of acting as turbine blades to increase a rotational force, thereby allowing the carousel to rotate in lighter wind/breeze conditions.
