Abstract
A tree stand assembly includes a horizontal platform and floor to be supported on a tree trunk by a pair of vertical stabilizing bars and a pair of compression struts running from a front edge portion of the platform to a lower end of each of the stabilizing bars. To fasten this platform to a tree trunk, a link chain is fastened at the top of one of the vertical bars and extends around the tree to the other vertical bar where a pivotally mounted latch hook extends through an appropriate link on the chain. The latch hook is rotated away from the tree trunk by a latch lever to tension the chain and hold the platform in place. A latch plate keeps the latch hook in place. A seat assembly is then mounted on the platform. Shoulder straps are provided on the platform, and the seat assembly can be placed in parallel relationship with respect to the platform floor, and the entire tree stand assembly can be carried as a back pack.
