Abstract
The present invention relates to a supporting device, particularly for game animals, which comprises first and second elongated members. A first end of the second elongated member is attached perpendicularly to a first end of the first member. A first, stationary cross bar is attached perpendicularly to a second end of the second member. In a preferred embodiment, of the present invention the first elongated member is rotatably received within a sleeve. In a further preferred embodiment a second cross bar, movable toward and away from the first, stationary cross bar, is displaced by a cable and a winch. A pair of chains having ends of the stationary and second movable cross bar passed through appropriate links of each of the chains selectively holds the movable cross bar against downward vertical movement with respect to the stationary cross bar and limits pivotal and rotational movement of the movable cross bar about the cable. The supporting device of the present invention is adapted to be received in a slot typically provided in a side wall of a bed of a truck or attached to a screw arranged on any suitable support device. In a simplified embodiment of the present invention, the…
