  • Patent number: 4590699
    Abstract: A decoy has a number of elongated members which can be held in close proximity during the storing or transporting of the decoy but which can be moved to extended position whenever the decoy is in use. A readily collapsible and extendible surface is secured to and supported by those elongated members; and it bears a pictorial representation of the creature to be simulated by the decoy. Those elongated members are mounted so one of those elongated members will be the forward-most of those members whenever the decoy is in use, so some of the other elongated members are extendible outwardly and rearwardly in one direction from that one elongated member, so the rest of the elongated members are extendible in the opposite direction from that one elongated member, and so those elongated members can cause each side of the readily collapsible and extendible surface to extend outwardly and rearwardly from that one elongated member.
