Abstract:
A waterfowl decoy, comprising:a body portion having a head end, a tail end, and two sides; a driver motor having at least one output shaft, wherein said at least one output shaft has a longitudinal axis extending along the length of said at least one output shaft, said longitudinal axis extending outwardly from one or more sides of the decoy body; an offset support assembly attached to the at least one output shaft such that the offset support assembly provides rotational movement for an appendage revolving around said longitudinal axis when the at least one output shaft rotates; one or more appendages attached to the offset support assembly having an attachment bracket, said one or more appendages positioned a radial length from the longitudinal axis to provide rotational movement completely around said longitudinal axis, and said one or more appendages are on the offset support assembly; and said attachment bracket having a first section and a second section, said first section extending laterally from the longitudinal axis and said second section coupled to said first section and extending a radial length from the longitudinal axis in a position allowing for rotational movement around the longitudinal axis, and said one or more appendages directly attached to and extending from an end of said second section to revolve in an offset rotational movement around said longitudinal axis of the at least one output shaft when the at least one output shaft rotates above a water level.
