Description
TREE SUPPORTED STRUCTURE
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to tree-supported structures and, in particular, to portable structures intended to be mounted about a single tree or pole.
Tree houses are well known as play dwellings for children. However in the past trees have been largely ignored as supports for permanent or temporary dwellings for people.
United States Patent No. 4,056,902 to Ziegler, Jr. shows a tree house kit. Other relevant patents include United States Patent No. 1,236,960 to McMillan; 1,251,703 to Spencer;
1,515,831 to Bush and 4,225,013 to Sample.
My own earlier United States Patent App. No. 08/257,154 reveals a tree supported structure including a plurality of platforms extending about a tree and secured to the tree by an anchoring system. However this structure is intended for permanent or semi-permanent use and is too expensive and takes too long to mount on a tree for temporary uses comparable to erection of a tent.
Accordingly it is an object of the invention to provide an improved tree supported structure which can be securely mounted in a tree, but done so quickly enough for use as a temporary structure for camping purposes or the like.
It is also an object of the invention to provide an improved tree-supported structure which can be produced and sold at an economical price.
It is a further object of the invention to provide an improved a tree-supported structure which is portable and can be taken down and reused again repeatedly.
It is a still further object of the invention to provide an improved tree-supported structure ~ 1 ~7~60 which is relatively light in weight and yet provides sufficient space for temporary use as a dwelling by several people.
SUMMARY OF THE rNVENTION
In accordance with these objects, there is provided a tree-supported structure including a first tree anchor with a chain extendable about a tree. There is means for tightening the chain about the tree until the chain indents the tree. There is first platform exlt ntling about the tree and connected to the anchor.
The platform may include a plurality of first elongated members extending radially outwards from the tree and having inner ends mounted on the chain of the first anchor.
The elongated members may be tubes with hooks on the inner ends mounted on the chain.
The structure may include a second tree anchor spaced-apart above the first tree anchor and first elongated tension members extending between outer ends ofthe first elongated members and the second tree anchor.
The structure may also have a second platform below the first platform. A third tree anchor is below the first tree anchor and level with the second platform. The second platform is connected to the first platform by elongated tension members extending between the outer edge of the second platform and the first elongated members.
The structure may have a flexible, sheet-like first cover between the outer edge of the first platform and the outer edge of the second platform. The structure also may have a flexible, sheet-like second cover between the outer edge of the first platform and the second tree anchor.
Tree supported structures according to the invention offer significant advantages over prior art tree-supported skuctures. They can be sufficiently roomy for temporary or semi-permanent occupation by a number of people for up to several weeks of camping. However they can mounted on a kee in a relatively easy and expedient manner without requiring any permanent installation. After use, the entire structure can be removed and stored until required again.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
Referring to the drawings, and first to Fig. 1, this shows a tree-supported structure 10 mounted on a tree 12. This type of structure is intended for use as a temporary or semi-permanent dwelling in a manner similar to a tent or a tent trailer. It includes a first platform 14 and a second platform 16 which is below the first platform and spaced-apart therefrom.
As seen in Fig. 4, each platform consists of a plurality of panels 20, ten in number in this particular example. The panels are of plywood in this example. Both platforms 14 and 16 are substantially the same. There are three different shapes of panels 20a,20b and 20c in this example.
The structure includes a first flexible sheet-like cover 22 which is generally cylindrical in shape and extends between outer edge 24 of platform 14 and outer edge 26 of platform 16.
There is also a second cover 28 which extends upwards from the first platform 14 and is generally conical in shape. The two covers are connected together and overlap in this particular example. The covers are made of coated nylon although other flexible, sheet-like covers could be substituted. Each cover also has one or more clear, covered openings such as windows 30 and 32 of cover 22 and skylight 34 of cover 28 . These are made of PVC or Lexan in this embodiment although other clear, flexible materials or screens could be substituted.
In this embodiment a shaped door opening 21 is provided in panel 20d. A door mounted on a hinge could be mounted at this opening if desired. A ladder 38 is angled dowllw~dly from the outer edge 26 of platform 16 adjacent the opening 36 to ground 40.
This particular structure includes three tree anchors for mounting the structure on trunk 18 of the tree 12. A first such anchor 42, shown in Fig. 3, extends about the trunk of the tree adjacent the inside of platform 14. A second such anchor is located adjacent the inside of platform 16 at position 44 shown in Fig. 1. A third such anchor is located at the top of conical cover 28 at position 46 shown in Fig. 1.
S Referring to Fig. 2, which shows anchor 42 in more detail, each of the anchors has an elongated chain 48 which includes a plurality of interconnected links 50. This particular chain is of steel. Each anchor also includes means for tightening the chain about the tree.
This means includes two blocks 52 and 54 which are wedge-shaped in this embodiment and constructed out of sheet steel which is 1/4~ thick. Other materials could be substituted.
An elongated threaded, bolt-member 60 extends between the two blocks and throughopenings 62 and 64 in the blocks. Nuts 66 are threadedly fitted on the threaded member inside the blocks.
Each block has a bolt 70 extending therethrough and provided with a chain hook 72.
Opposite ends of the chain, such as end 74, are connected to the blocks by fitting on one of the hooks 72.
After the chain 48 is extended about the tree, one or both nuts 66 are tightened until the chain indents into the bark of the tree. This is done for all three anchors to securely mount the structure 10 about the tree.
The first platform 14 includes an integral support system with a plurality of first elongated members 80 which extend radially outward from chain 48 of anchor 42 as seen in Fig. 3. In this particular example the elongated members 80 are of pipe and are telescopic in nature, having an inner smaller pipe 82 and an outer, larger diameter pipe 84. A set screw 86 is used to fix a desired length of the member. The member has an inner end 88 and an outer end 90.
The inner end 88 has a dowllwaldly directed hook 92 which fits within one of the links 50 of the chain 48 to secure the platform to the anchor 42. The outer ends 90 of the first elongated members are connected together by a plurality of second elongated members 96 adjacent the outer edge 24 ofthe platform 14. These elongated members are also in the form of pipes in this embodiment. A casting 97 connects each pair of members 96 together.
There are first elongated tension members 98 connected to upper hole 97a in casting 97 shown in Fig. 3a. These elongated, tension members are cables in this particular example having upper ends 100 provided with hooks 102. The hooks 102 connect onto the chain of the anchor located at the point 46 shown in Fig. 1. A plurality of such cables 98 accordingly extend upwardly from the first platform to support the conical cover 28 and the weight of platforms 14 and 16.
There is also a plurality of elongated tension members 104, steel rods in this embodiment, extending dowllw~dly from lower hole 97b in casting 97. There is a hook 106 at the bottom of each ofthe members 104. The second platform 16 which, as stated above, is substantially the same as the first platform. This is supported by a support system as shown in Fig. 3.
The structure 10 is intended for fitting trees between 10" and 30" in diameter. It occupies about 21 ft. of tree trunk which must be either free from limbs or de-limbed to that extent.
The upper anchor at position 46 is installed first. Anchor 42 for the platform 14 is installed next and finally the anchor at position 44 for the second platform 16. In all cases the chains are tightened until the chains lightly indent the bark of the tree.
A safety cable can be used as a backup to the anchor system and secured to the tree by a staple above the anchor at position 46. The first elongated tension members or cables 98 are then secured to the top anchor by the hooks 102. The elongated members 80 and 96, forming L-frames for the platform 14 are then installed, followed by the similar frame for the platform 16. The floors can then be installed by fitting the panels 20 on the frames. Finally the covers 22 and 28 can be installed along with the latter 38.
An alternative embodiment shown in Fig. 5 and 6 is designed to mount on a post 200 or a S '6 ~) pile in a body of water. There is a metal cone 202 with an inner cylindrical cap 204 which mounts on the post. A fabric cone 206 fits on cone 202 and overlaps it.
As shown in Fig. 6, platform 210 is connected to cone 202 by cables 212. These connect to the cone via hooks 216 and apertures 218.
Fig. 7 shows a variation of the embodiment of Fig. 5 and 6 using a special metal pole 250.
In this case hooks 92 of members 80 engage apertures 251 in a metal ring 252 secured about the pole below cone 202.
It will be understood that many of the details described above are way example only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention which is to be interpreted with reference to the following claims:
