Abstract
An adjustable tree stand has a housing in which a wheel rotates. The housing is strapped or otherwise secured to a tree in the usual way. The wheel has a first extension that protrudes from the housing and has a female receiver. A frame has a second extension with a downwardly directed male pin. The second extension sits atop the first extension with the pin received within the receiver to thereby connect the frame to the housing, Rotation of the wheel rotates the frame. A locking mechanism prevents the wheel from rotating when not desired. A threaded bolt passes through the frame and engages the housing in order to pivot the housing with respect to the frame. Appropriate platforms are attached to the frame.
