1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a folding ladder tree stand and more particularly pertains to providing a hunter an elevated stationary support for hunting with a folding ladder tree stand.
2. Description of the Prior Art
The use of tree stands is known in the prior art. More specifically, tree stands heretofore devised and utilized for the purpose of providing a stationary support for hunting are known to consist basically of familiar, expected and obvious structural configurations, notwithstanding the myriad of designs encompassed by the crowded prior art which have been developed for the fulfillment of countless objectives and requirements.
By way of example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,129,198 to Hunter discloses a pole seat and ladder. U.S. Pat. No. 4,742,888 to Amacker discloses a folding ladder stand. U.S. Pat. No. 5,242,030 to Lobozzo discloses a deer stand. U.S. Pat. No. 5,253,732 to Daniels discloses a portable folding tree stand. U.S. Pat. No. 5,267,632 to Mintz discloses a folding deer stand apparatus.
While these devices fulfill their respective, particular objective and requirements, the aforementioned patents do not describe a folding ladder tree stand that provides an elevated stationary support for hunting, provides a way to readily access this elevated stationary support, and provides a structure that can be readily placed in an operable configuration for use or a stowed configuration for transport.
In this respect, the folding ladder tree stand according to the present invention substantially departs from the conventional concepts and designs of the prior art, and in doing so provides an apparatus primarily developed for the purpose of providing a hunter an elevated stationary support for hunting.
Therefore, it can be appreciated that there exists a continuing need for new and improved folding ladder tree stand which can be used for providing a hunter an elevated stationary support for hunting. In this regard, the present invention substantially fulfills this need.
