  • Decoy stand with rotating arm
    Patent number: 11147264
    Abstract: The present invention is a decoy system that simulates waterfowl taking off and landing byway of a string, pulley and spring which collectively cause a crossbeam holding waterfowl decoys to raise and lower relative to the surface of the water in which the system sits. When the string is pulled one end of the crossbeam holding one decoy lowers and the opposite end of the beam holding either a counterweight or another decoy raises. When the string is released a spring attached to the opposite side of the beam from the string moves the beam towards its original position and thereby the string and spring actuate a teetering motion that provides a visual que on both sides of the hinge at the midpoint of the crossbeam.
