Abstract
A releasable securing arrangement for reliably securing a tree stand to a tree. The securing arrangement includes a pair of elongate receiving tubes secured to either side of a base or platform for the tree stand. The tubes each include a cam pivotally mounted to each tube within a cam mounting opening disposed in the tubes. Each cam includes a handle portion extending outwardly from the opening that is used to manually move the cam, and an engagement portion that is positionable within the tube and includes a number of spaced teeth. A belt formed of an elastomeric material includes a number of spaced teeth disposed along one side of the belt that are formed complementary to the teeth located on the cam. When the belt is inserted into the tube and engaged with the cam, the teeth on the cam mesh with the teeth on the belt to insure a proper locking of the cam with the belt. Furthermore, as the teeth on the belt extend completely along one side of the belt, the teeth engage the exterior surface of the tree to assist in holding the tree stand securely against the tree.
