  • Publication number: 20240081320
    Abstract: A waterfowl decoy deployment system includes a thrust device and a hub coupled to the thrust device. The waterfowl decoy deployment system also includes a plurality of arms coupled to the hub such that the plurality of arms extend radially outward from the hub. The thrust device is configured to rotate about an axis to induce a substantially circular motion to the hub and the plurality of arms.

  • Publication number: 20230404063
    Abstract: The waterfowl decoy deployment system includes a hub assembly including a central hub and a base coupled to the central hub. The system further includes a motor assembly attached to the base. The motor assembly includes a drive shaft and a propeller coupled to the drive shaft. The drive shaft is rotatable about a rotational axis to propel the hub assembly in a linear direction in an aqueous environment. A plurality of arms are coupled to the central hub and extend radially outward from the central hub.

  • Patent number: 10874097
    Abstract: A waterfowl decoy deployment system includes a hub subsystem. The hub subsystem includes a casing defining a plurality of apertures therein. The hub subsystem also includes a plurality of arm suspension mechanisms. Each aperture of is configured to receive one arm suspension mechanism. Each arm suspension mechanism includes a biasing device inserted into one aperture, a collet coupled to the biasing device, and a collet nut coupled to the collet. The hub subsystem also includes a plurality of arms extending radially outward from the casing. Each arm is coupled to one arm suspension mechanism. The waterfowl decoy deployment system also includes a plurality of waterfowl decoys. At least one waterfowl decoy is coupled to each arm.

  • Patent number: 10729125
    Abstract: A waterfowl decoy deployment system includes a hub subsystem including a casing, a plurality of arms extending radially outward from the casing, and a plurality of waterfowl decoys. At least one waterfowl decoy of the plurality of waterfowl decoys is coupled to each arm of the plurality of arms. The waterfowl decoy deployment system also includes a thrust bar system coupled to the casing and positioned below the plurality of arms and the plurality of waterfowl decoys. The thrust bar system includes a thrust bar coupled to the casing and a plurality of thrust devices coupled to the thrust bar. The plurality of thrust devices are configured to rotate the thrust bar about an axis to induce a substantially circular motion to the casing, the plurality of arms, and the plurality of waterfowl decoys.
