InventionHome pitches tree-stand gear tray for hunters

Louis R. of Gainesville, Georgia, has developed the Stand Bench Rest, a portable platform that clamps to tree stands to give hunters a stable place for gear. InventionHome is seeking manufacturers or distributors to license the patent rights as the inventor pursues commercialization.

Why it matters: - Hunters often balance binoculars, gloves, phones, wallets and other gear without a dedicated surface in a tree stand. - A secured platform could reduce fatigue, limit dropped items and make long sits more comfortable. - The product targets a niche outdoor-use case where stability, quiet operation and easy access matter.

What happened: - Louis R. of Gainesville, Georgia, created the Stand Bench Rest, a portable tabletop platform for use in single or double tree stands. - The device attaches directly to a tree stand safety bar with multiple clamp points. - Louis filed a utility patent with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. - Louis is working with InventionHome to sell or license the patent rights.

The details: - The platform is shaped like a compact tray and secures to the safety bar at four locations. - Brackets and clamps hold the platform in place during use. - The design can be installed and removed without permanent modification to the tree stand. - Durable, noise-reducing plastic is used to limit sound when equipment is placed on or moved across the surface. - A camouflage configuration can be used to reduce visual contrast with the surrounding environment. - The platform is designed for common single and double tree stand configurations. - It provides accessible storage for binoculars, gloves, mobile phones, wallets and other equipment. - The product is intended for long hunting sessions where maintaining a stable position is important. - The design can transfer the weight of equipment from the user’s hands to the platform.

Between the lines: - The pitch is aimed at manufacturers and distributors, not direct consumers. - InventionHome is positioning the product as a licensable invention rather than a finished retail item. - The emphasis on quiet materials and camouflage suggests the design is meant to fit core hunting needs, not general outdoor use.

What's next: - InventionHome is seeking U.S.-based product manufacturers or distributors to further develop and distribute the Stand Bench Rest. - Interested companies can contact InventionHome at member@inventionhome.com. - Inventors seeking patenting, marketing or licensing help can request information at info@inventionhome.com or by calling 1-866-844-6512. - More information is available at InventionHome and in the company’s inventor resources and articles.
