  • Patent number: 6983918
    Abstract: A drink holder which may be used in a tree stand or attached to a golf cart. A T-shaped clamping element has a pair of differing width flanges permitting the clamping of tubular members having different thicknesses. The clamping element is bolted to a first member having a ratchet face on one surface which engages a second ratchet face on a second element to permit angular adjustment between the first and second elements. The second member has a ring portion interconnected to a secondary cruciform-shaped support which may receive a drink, such as a beverage can or water bottle. A secondary support is attached to a bottom surface of the cruciform-shaped support and has a pair of horizontally extending arms which can suspend a handle of a ThermosĀ® bottle or lunch pail.

  • Patent number: 6802483
    Abstract: A gun rest made of a high-strength, highly durable plastic, such as ABS, is attachable to a tree stand. First and second U-shaped members have a mechanical element to permit its attachment to a portion of the frame of the tree stand. In a first embodiment, the attachment element is a third member with a ratchet face that engages a ratchet on the rear face of the first and second U-shaped members along with an T-shaped clamping arm that is adjustably bolted to the U-shaped member. The T-shaped clamping arm can be used to clamp other elements to the frame of the tree stand, as well. In a second embodiment the attachment element is a dowel that is received in an open end of the tree stand frame. The portions of the U-shaped members that support the gun are jacketed with an elastomeric non-slip surface that is preferably made of rubber.

  • Patent number: 6679465
    Abstract: A bow rest made of a high-strength, highly durable plastic, such as ABS, is attachable to a tree stand. A first member has a first ratchet surface that engages a second ratchet surface on a second member to permit rotational adjustment of the second member relative to the first member in an orientation to optimally engage and support a bow. The second member has a pair of support arms, one of which has an angled support surface designed to balance the weight of the bow. The support arms of the second member are jacketed with an elastomeric non-slip surface that is preferably made of rubber.
