Patent ID: 7377361

Claim:
A tree stand assembly comprising: a) a platform having first and second planar sections coupled to one another by a plurality of pivot joints to pivot about said plurality of pivot joints and wherein said first and second sections are arranged to pivot between an open coplanar support condition and a folded transport condition; b) a primary support comprised of first and second members pivotally mounted to said platform by pivot joints having a first pivot axis to pivot between the open platform support condition wherein said primary support extends substantially orthogonal to said platform and said first and second members pivotally connected to each other by a pivot joint having a second pivot axis that is orthogonal to said first pivot axis such that said first and second members fold into substantially coplanar alignment to said first and second planar sections in the folded platform transport condition wherein the first and second planar sections are stacked one above the other and the first and second members stacked one above the other and sandwiched between said first and second planar sections; and c) a length adjustable member mounted to said primary support to secure said tree stand assembly to a tree.
