  • Patent number: 9890552
    Abstract: A hunting blind with an adjustable opening is provided to increase the flexibility of the hunting blind when the hunting blind is used in various activities. One or more covers at least partially cover the adjustable opening to produce a modified opening. Some embodiments of the invention may comprise fasteners, cords, and other components to arrange the one or more covers in different configurations. Various embodiments of the invention may also have a pass-through feature in an exterior wall of the hunting blind that provide access to the external environment. This may be advantageous for objects such as tripods where one of the tripod's legs may extend through the pass-through feature so that the tripod may be positioned closer to the exterior wall, which saves space in the hunting blind.

  • Publication number: 20160115707
    Abstract: A tool-less hub is provided for hunting blinds and tent structures. Poles with particularly-shaped protrusions are insertable in and removable from the tool-less hub. The protrusions allow the pole to enter the tool-less hub at a particular angle, but once rotated to a different angle, the pole is secured with the hub. And thus, no tools are required to change out a broken pole from the hub. In addition, the tool-less hub may comprise a location for an accessory mount, which may comprise a plurality of bodies that articulate about each other. Accessories such as cameras, lights, game calls, scent dispensers, firearms, shelves, hooks, etc. may be interconnected to the accessory mount, and the articulating bodies may position the accessory in any number of locations and orientations.
