  • Patent number: 6595325
    Abstract: A tree stand with level adjustment includes provision for scaling a tree, pole, or the like, for use by a hunter or wildlife observer or photographer, etc. The stand essentially comprises a lower foot rest component and an upper seating component, with each component having a peripheral frame defining a plane. A compressive tree brace member extends from each component and coplanar therewith, with a sloped upper frame member extending from each edge of each component. A flexible tensile member extends from each frame member of each component, for securing about the back of the tree. The tensile member is secured within one sloped member by an adjustably positionable pin for assembly, and within the opposite sloped member by a threaded adjuster for infinitesimally fine adjustment for precise leveling. The tree stand may also include foot rest and hand or arm rest extensions as desired.
