          Application 08/456,349                                                      



                                      APPENDIX                                        
                    1.  A portable, foldable structure for the dressing               
          of game animals in the field, the structure being in one of                 
          OPENED and CLOSED positions, the structure comprising:                      
                    in the OPEN position:                                             
                    a substantially one dimensional upper arm having                  
          distal and proximal ends;                                                   
                    game animal attachment means suspended at about the               
          distal end of the upper arm;                                                
                    a flange support fixedly attached at the proximal                 
          end of the upper arm and having means for attachment to a tree              
          or like vertical columnar member, such that the upper arm                   
          extends radially from the tree or like columnar member; and                 
                    a substantially one dimensional lower arm having                  
          means at one end for attachment to the tree or like vertical                
          columnar member and being pivotally connected at the other end              
          to the upper arm, the upper and lower arms being substantially              
          aligned in a plane which extends radially from the tree or                  
          like columnar member; and                                                   
                    in the CLOSED position:                                           
                    a substantially one dimensional closed arm having                 
          distal and proximal ends, the closed arm being formed from the              
          upper and lower arms which are substantially parallel to one                
          another and are adjacent to one another, the upper and lower                
          arms overlapping one another along at least a majority of                   
          their lengths;                                                              
                    a flange support fixedly attached at the proximal                 
          end of the closed arm, the flange support having means for                  
          attachment to a tree or like columnar member, such that the                 
          structure is substantially one dimensional while in the CLOSED              
          position; and                                                               
                                        - A1 -
