Seat apparatus

Abstract

A seating apparatus that is capable of both sliding and pivoting thereby lending to advantageously positioning a hunter in relation to their prey. By enabling a seat portion to horizontally slide along a plane, the hunter can reposition away from an object, e.g., a tree. Additionally, the seat portion of the apparatus is capable of pivoting in either direction thereby enhancing line of sight to hunting game.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A seat apparatus comprising:
 a pair of inclinable adjustable rails in contact with a ground surface;   a slider mechanism slidably attached to the pair of inclinable adjustable rails;   a swivel mechanism attached to the slider mechanism and adapted to rotate about a pivot point; and   a seat bottom attached to the swivel mechanism.   
     
     
         2 . The seat apparatus of  claim 1  further comprising a first pair of height adjustable supports attached to a front of the pair of inclinable adjustable rails and a second pair of height adjustable supports attached to a rear of the pair of inclinable adjustable rails. 
     
     
         3 . The seat apparatus of  claim 2 , wherein the first pair of height adjustable supports and the second pair of height adjustable supports include that rotate inward or outward to facilitate storage and/or transport. 
     
     
         4 . The seat apparatus of  claim 1  further comprising a seat backrest removably attached to the seat bottom. 
     
     
         5 . The seat apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the swivel mechanism rotates 360° in either direction. 
     
     
         6 . The seat apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the slider mechanism includes a self-lubricating means that lubricates for traversal along the pair of rails. 
     
     
         7 . The seat apparatus of  claim 1  further comprising at least one strap that facilitates backpack-like transport of the seat apparatus. 
     
     
         8 . The seat apparatus of  claim 1  further comprising a vest-like apparel attached to the seat apparatus such that the vest-like apparel facilitates transport or access to equipment. 
     
     
         9 . A hunting seat assembly comprising:
 a pair of inclinable adjustable rails indirectly in contact with a ground surface;   a slider mechanism slidably attached to the pair of inclinable adjustable rails;   a swivel mechanism attached to the slider mechanism and adapted to rotate about a pivot point; and   a seat bottom attached to the swivel mechanism.   
     
     
         10 . The hunting seat assembly of  claim 9  further comprising a first pair of height adjustable supports attached to a front of the pair of inclinable adjustable rails and a second pair of height adjustable supports attached to a rear of the pair of inclinable adjustable rails. 
     
     
         11 . The hunting seat assembly  10 , wherein the first pair of height adjustable supports and the second pair of height adjustable supports include that rotate inward or outward to facilitate storage and/or transport. 
     
     
         12 . The hunting seat assembly of  claim 9  further comprising a seat backrest removably attached to the seat bottom. 
     
     
         13 . The hunting seat assembly of  claim 9 , wherein the swivel mechanism rotates 360° in either direction. 
     
     
         14 . The hunting seat assembly of  claim 9 , wherein the slider mechanism includes a self-lubricating means that lubricates for traversal along the pair of rails. 
     
     
         15 . The hunting seat assembly of  claim 9  further comprising at least one strap that facilitates backpack-like transport of the seat apparatus. 
     
     
         16 . The hunting seat assembly of  claim 9  further comprising a vest-like apparel attached to the seat apparatus such that the vest-like apparel facilitates transport or access to equipment. 
     
     
         17 . A seat assembly comprising:
 a pair of rails in contact with a ground surface;   a slider mechanism slidably attached to the pair of rails;   a swivel mechanism attached to the slider mechanism and adapted to rotate about a pivot point; and   a seat bottom attached to the swivel mechanism.   
     
     
         18 . The seat assembly of  claim 17  further comprising a first pair of height adjustable supports attached to a front of the pair of rails and a second pair of height adjustable supports attached to a rear of the pair of rails. 
     
     
         19 . The seat assembly of  claim 18 , wherein the first pair of height adjustable supports and the second pair of height adjustable supports include that rotate inward or outward to facilitate storage and/or transport. 
     
     
         20 . The seat assembly of  claim 17 , wherein the swivel mechanism rotates 360° in either direction.
