AI Technical Summary
Existing methods fail to securely position a salt lick on a tree trunk, leading to pieces falling off due to decomposition and rain, resulting in an inconsistent supply of salts and minerals for wildlife.
A water-permeable salt lick holder is screwed onto the tree trunk, featuring a central peg to secure the lick and a design that allows water penetration while preventing parts from falling, ensuring continuous mineral supply.
The holder maintains the salt lick in place, preventing pieces from falling and allowing continuous mineral runoff, thus providing a consistent supply to wildlife.

Abstract
Description
[0001] Salt lick holder / salt lick base / mineral lick holder / mineral lick base for easy placement of a salt lick or mineral lick on a post or a sawn-off tree trunk. SUMMARY
[0002] For easily placing a salt lick on a tree trunk.
[0003] By screwing a salt lick holder onto a tree trunk or stump, it's easy to position a salt lick there. The holder keeps the salt lick firmly in place and prevents it, or parts of it, from falling off the trunk after rain. This ensures a continuous supply of salt or minerals to the tree for the wildlife until the salt lick is completely empty, without any pieces falling to the ground.
[0004] The salt lick holder can be used to provide salts and minerals to wild animals and all other animals. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Because it is usually difficult to position a salt lick easily and safely on a tree trunk. 2. Because when a salt lick is placed on a tree trunk in the normal way, most of the pieces of the salt lick fall to the ground after it has already decomposed somewhat. TASK OF INVENTION
[0005] To easily and securely hold a salt lick on a tree trunk without any parts falling off. SOLUTION
[0006] The problem is solved by a water-permeable form that is screwed onto the tree trunk, and then the salt lick is placed on top of it. The hole in the salt lick sits on the peg in the middle of the holder, thus preventing it from slipping.
[0007] The rest of the mold serves as a support for the entire stone, preventing pieces from falling off. The mold's design still allows water to penetrate, so that salts and minerals can continuously run down the stem, either from rain or from water attracted by the salt. DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION WITH THE HELP OF A DRAWING Fig. Figure 1 shows the lick stone holder (1) in partial section from the side. Fig. Figure 1 shows the edge (3) of the lick block holder, which prevents parts of the lick block from sliding down sideways. Fig. Figure 1 shows the pin (2) in the middle of the lick block holder, which fixes the lick block in the middle and protects it from slipping. Fig. Figure 2 shows the lick block holder (1) from above, where you can see the peg (2), the rim (3), the holes (5) for fixing the lick block holder to a trunk, and the base (4), which is designed so that no parts can fall off, but so that liquid can pass through. Fig. Figure 3 shows the lick block holder (1) mounted on a tree trunk (7) with a lick block (6) lying on it.
