US Patent 9307832 Free standing boat accessory telescopic pedestal device

The free standing boat accessory telescopic pedestal device has a trapezoidal reinforced base with a pair of upwardly disposed spaced apart ears. A cylinder is downwardly and pivotally affixed to the ears and has a wing-nutted bolt disposed through the cylinder upwardly within the ears. Removal of the wing-nutted bolt allows the cylinder to pivot from an upward position to a position coplanar with the base. A larger tube is affixed upwardly to the cylinder. A smaller tube is slidably and rotatably disposed within the larger tube and is positioned therein via a twist lock. A platform is perpendicularly affixed atop the smaller tube and accepts accessories such as a GPS, a depth finder, a camera, a telescope, and the like.
