DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0027] In the following detailed description, reference is made to the accompanying drawings which form a part hereof and in which is shown by way of illustration specific embodiments in which the invention may be practiced. These embodiments are described in sufficient detail to enable those skilled in the art to practice the invention, and it is to be understood that the embodiments may be combined, or that other embodiments may be utilized and that structural and logical changes may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. The following detailed description is, therefore, not to be taken in a limiting sense, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.

[0028] The present invention generally provides a portable supporting structure comprises a detachable cradle (1), an elongated tubular member (3), a lever (2), a detachable base platform (5) and a spindle mechanism. Further, the detachable cradle is of the variable size as per the need of the user.

[0029] FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of the portable supporting structure of the present invention. The portable supporting structure or stand is having a detachable base platform (5) to provide a suitable space for elongated tubular member (3) such that the user can easily hold the firearm or crossbow without any lashing up.

[0030] In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, the portable supporting structure is configured to stabilize the stand by a detachable base onto the ground with a pivotally placed an elongated tubular member mounted on the base, for a cradle (1), preferably, the size of the cradle is, but not limited to, (12) inch. Further, the longitudinally elongated tube is connected to a lever for adjusting the level or the height of the longitudinally elongated tubular member. The elongated tubular member is divided into the sections or channels for easy elongation or folding to disassemble the stand. The channels of the elongated tubular member are covered with a fabric or the like material. Preferably, the fabric is made of material selected from a group of fade resistant, water resistant long lasting fabric.

[0031] FIG. 2 is the detachable cradle of the portable supporting structure of FIG. 1. The present invention provides a very simple stand with a variable size of cradle for receiving a firearm or crossbow. Also, the cradle (1) is having a spindle mechanism operably adapted to fix the detachable cradle at a proximal end with the elongated tubular member.

[0032] In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, the spindle mechanism is supported by a spheroid structure (6), which is placed at the proximal end of the detachable cradle. Preferably, the detachable cradle is made of material selected from a group of, but not limited to, hard rubber, synthetic rubber, synthetic plastic or a combination thereof, although any other suitable material can also be used as per the requirement by the producer.

[0033] FIG. 3 shows the portable supporting structure having the cradle with an elongated tubular member of the FIG. 1. The portable supporting structure is configured to hold, but not limited to, a firearm or a crossbow as per the user desired level or height using the lever (2). The lever is operably adapted to extend the elongated tubular member, which is disposed circumferentially around said elongated tubular member using a mechanical means. The mechanical means is a collar (6), which is circumferentially movable to the elongated tubular member with the lever.

[0034] The above-mentioned portable supporting structure provides durable construction. Further, the user has a set of potable attachments for building the shooting stand, therefore easy to carry by the handle of the stand and moving from one to another place. In addition, the stand is simple and easy to use at any place. The anchor of the stand helps to protect it from any tangling and provides stability. Further, it eliminates the need to carry out the heavy weight elements for shooting, hunting or the like while the person is travelling.

[0035] It is to be understood that the above description is intended to be illustrative, and not restrictive. For example, the above-discussed embodiments may be used in combination with each other. Many other embodiments will be apparent to those of skill in the art upon reviewing the above description.

[0036] The benefits and advantages which may be provided by the present invention have been described above with regard to specific embodiments. These benefits and advantages, and any elements or limitations that may cause them to occur or to become more pronounced are not to be construed as critical, required, or essential features of any or all of the embodiments.

[0037] While the present invention has been described with reference to particular embodiments, it should be understood that the embodiments are illustrative and that the scope of the invention is not limited to these embodiments. Many variations, modifications, additions and improvements to the embodiments described above are possible. It is contemplated that these variations, modifications, additions and improvements fall within the scope of the invention.
