  • Patent number: 5647159
    Abstract: A portable disassemblable blind for water fowl hunting provides a peripherally defined side frame and a slidably openable top, both supporting peripheral covering. One or more head holes are defined in the inner end of the top to allow one or more hunters to project their heads therethrough for observation. The frame optionally may support one or more seats for support of hunters beneath the head holes. A transverse support maintains guns in a forwardly and upwardly angulated orientation for safety. The openable top is supported by rollers that guide the opening and closing motion of the top on the side frame to insure reliable operability. The first species of blind may be formed without seats and with a low profile for positioning over a pit defined in the earth to provide a concealing cover for hunters therein. A second species of blind provides a semi-rigid plastic covering that is integrally formed with the supporting frame elements to allow manufacture by molding.
