Abstract: A goose flag decoy system simulates flapping wing motion of a goose or other waterfowl, particularly the motion when such goose is landing. A flag pole is pivotably mounted at one end to a base plate that is secured to a ground surface and has a goose flag mounted at or near its opposite end. The flag pole is biased and held in down or grounded position by a stretchable elastic cord tethered at one end to a ground surface and at the other end to the flag pole. A pull cord or string is tethered the flag pole and is directed through one or more eyelets or pulleys. Tugging motion on the pull cord overcomes tension of the stretchable elastic cord and raises the flag pole from its grounded position. Back and forth tugging motion on the pull cord causes the goose flag to move, simulating flapping wing motion.

Abstract: A multi-sectioned tensioner arm (60) is provided. The tensioner arm (60) includes a plurality of sections (62, 64, 66) with each section conjoined together via a link (68). each of the plurality of sections (62, 64, 66) has a partial upper side (12i) which forms, in part, an upper side, all of the partial upper side (12i) of the plurality of sections (62, 64, 66) together form the upper side of the tensioner arm and is backed by a tensioning member such as a spring.

Abstract: A chain guide with Multiple Joints having a plurality of sections (62, 64, 66) with each section conjoined together via a link (68) is provided. Each of the plurality of sections (62, 64, 66) has a partial upper side (12i) which forms, in part, an upper side of the chain guide. All of the partial upper side (12i) of the plurality of sections (62, 64, 66) together form the upper side of the chain guide.
