Abstract

A wind-aided game decoy system that allows for multiple decoys moving independently on a single support. The system comprises multiple pivot arms holding multiple decoys. The pivot arms are attached to pivot channels on a wheel hub. The wheel hub is rotatably mounted to a support. The wheel hub may further comprise pin bores along the peripheral edge of the wheel hub allowing a user to adjust the swing of the pivot arms with insertion and removal of pins. The support of the wheel hub can be a stake with one end inserted into a ground and another end connected to the wheel hub. Alternatively, the wheel hub may be moved away from the stake by using an extension arm that connects to a bearing case and runs to the wheel hub, wherein the bearing case is connected to the stake.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A game decoy system comprising:
 a wheel hub rotatably mounted to a support;   at least one pivot channel located in the wheel hub;   at least one pivot arm having a proximal segment, a medial segment, and a distal segment, wherein the pivot arm is rotatably connected at the proximal segment to the at least one pivot channel; and   at least one game decoy rotatably mounted to the distal segment of the pivot arm.   
     
     
         2 . The game decoy system of  claim 1 , wherein the wheel hub is on a wheel bearing to allow the wheel hub to rotate 360° about the support. 
     
     
         3 . The game decoy system of  claim 1 , wherein the pivot channel is bored and set into the wheel hub. 
     
     
         4 . The game decoy system of  claim 1 , wherein the pivot channel is a round bearing that receives the inserted pivot arm. 
     
     
         5 . The game decoy system of  claim 1 , wherein the pivot arm is round aluminum stock. 
     
     
         6 . The game decoy system of  claim 1 , wherein the proximal segment of the pivot arm is a vertical segment, connected at an upper end with a 90° bend to the medial segment of the pivot arm. 
     
     
         7 . The game decoy system of  claim 6 , wherein the medial segment of the pivot arm extends horizontally out from the upper end of the proximal segment of the pivot arm and connects to a lower end of the distal segment of the pivot arm with a 90° bend upward. 
     
     
         8 . The game decoy system of  claim 1 , wherein at least one pin bore is drilled along the peripheral edge of the wheel hub. 
     
     
         9 . The game decoy system of  claim 8 , wherein at least one pin is inserted to the at least one pin bore to restrict rotation of the pivot arm to between the at least one pin. 
     
     
         10 . The game decoy system of  claim 1 , wherein the support is a stake having a first end and a second end, wherein the first end is inserted into a ground, and the second end is connected to the wheel hub. 
     
     
         11 . The game decoy system of  claim 10 , wherein the first end of the stake is tapered to be inserted into the ground. 
     
     
         12 . The game decoy system of  claim 10 , wherein the second end of the stake is threaded to connect to the wheel hub with a nut. 
     
     
         13 . A game decoy system comprising:
 a stake having a first end and a second end, wherein the first end is inserted into a ground;   a wheel hub rotatably mounted to the second end of the stake;   at least one pivot channel located in the wheel hub;   at least one pivot arm having a proximal segment, a medial segment, and a distal segment, wherein the pivot arm is rotatably connected at the proximal segment to the pivot channel; and   at least one game decoy rotatably mounted to the distal segment of the pivot arm.
