A tree stand includes a pin up system for easy attachment and removal to a tree high above the ground. The tree stand includes a frame and a platform attached to the frame for supporting the weight of a user and equipment. A hanger stud having a rectangular cross section projects from the frame towards the ground. The tree stand is attached to the tree trunk with a hanger pin which includes a shank with a pointed screw tip at one end for penetrating into the tree trunk. A crank is attached to the shank for rotating the shank and facilitating penetration of the screw tip and shank into the tree trunk. A stud holder is attached to the shank and has an aperture with the same rectangular cross-sectional shape as the hanger stud and is adapted to receive the hanger stud in the aperture to securely hold the frame on the tree trunk. In addition, an automotive seat belt is attached to the frame of the tree stand and is wrapped around the tree trunk to more securely hold the tree stand to the trunk. A pair of projections extend from the frame towards the tree trunk provide added frictional contact and in conjunction with the seat belt and the pin up system to firmly and safely support the tree stand on the tree trunk.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION Briefly described, the invention comprises a tree stand with pin up system for easily attaching a tree stand to a tree at a position high above the ground and for easy removal after use.
The tree stand comprises a frame which provides a structure for attaching the components of the tree stand.
A platform is attached to the frame for supporting the weight of a user and the user's equipment.
A rectangular hanger stud is attached to the frame and projects from the frame towards the ground.
The tree stand is attached to the tree trunk with a tree stand pin which has a shank that tapers at one end and ends with a pointed screw tip for penetrating into the tree trunk.
A crank is attached to the shank and has a handle attached to one end for rotating the screw tip of the shank and facilitating penetration of the screw tip and shank into the tree trunk.
A stud holder is attached to the shank and has an aperture with about the same rectangular cross-sectional shape as the hanger stud.
The stud holder is thus adapted to receiver the hanger stud in the rectangular aperture and securely hold the frame on the tree trunk.
In addition, an automotive seat belt is attached to the frame of the tree stand and is wrapped around the tree trunk to more securely hold the tree stand to the trunk.
Along with the seat belt, a pair of projections extending from the frame towards the tree trunk provide added frictional contact and support on the tree trunk.
The hanger pin can easily be attached to the tree trunk by placing the pointed screw tip against the tree trunk and turning the crank to drive the screw tip and shank into the tree trunk.
Once the shank has advanced as far as possible, the tree stand may be placed on the tree stand pin by inserting the hanger stud through the aperture in the stud holder of the hanger pin.
The seat belt is then fastened around the tree trunk forcing the projections against the tree trunk.
After use, the seat belt can be released and the tree stand can be lifted off the hanger pin
