Abstract: The present disclosure relates to tree stands which grasp upright columnar members for example, trees, poles, which are arranged to facilitate climbing and adjusting the height of the tree stand to a desired level and angle. When assembled as a cart, the invention consists of an upper climbing member or frame, lower climbing member or frame, a mechanical-interlocking system, an axle, wheels and a wheel attachment device. The two-climbing-member tree stand may be of a manually adjusting type or of a self-adjusting type which permit adjustment of the spacing of the grasping members so as to effect adjustment of the angle of each tree climber relative to the upright columnar member.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a convertible cargo rack that can be configured in one of two positions. In the first configuration, the cargo rack is suspended behind a vehicle, and in the second configuration, the cargo rack is pulled behind the vehicle in a trailer-like fashion. In the first configuration, the cargo rack has at least two tubular receivers on its underside that correspond to at least two tubular receivers attached to the rear of the vehicle. Support bars are inserted into the receivers to suspend the cargo rack behind the vehicle. In the second configuration, the cargo rack is rotated 90 degrees and wheels are attached to the sides of the cargo rack. A trailer bar then pivotably attaches the cargo receiver to the vehicle's center tubular receiver so that the cargo rack can be pulled behind the vehicle in a trailer-like fashion. The tubular receivers that are secured to the vehicle are attached using a bracket that can accommodate vehicle support frames of various sizes and shapes.
