  • Patent number: 6385895
    Abstract: A collapsible animal decoy is disclosed wherein a cover is disposed over a frame having a plurality of struts pivotally attached to an opening mechanism slidably disposed on an elongated shaft, forming an animal shape having a body, neck and head portion. The opening mechanism has an open position and a closed position. In the open position, the opening mechanism is positioned at the top end of the elongated shaft and the plurality of struts are extended outward. In the closed position, the opening mechanism is positioned at the handle end of the elongated shaft and the plurality of struts are collapsed against the elongated shaft for storage and transport. In addition, the struts freely rotate around the elongated shaft to give the decoy a realistic movement. A means for emitting an animal call may be incorporated into the shaft such that the rotation of the frame causes the decoy to emit the animal call.
