  • Collapsible hunting blind
    Patent number: 9066512
    Abstract: A hunting blind includes frame formed by first and second tubular support poles into which first and second rods, respectively, are slideably received. A connector of the frame couples the first and second tubular support poles in a manner that enables those poles to pivot with respect to each other. A brace pole engages the connector. A sheet is attached to each of the first and second support poles and the first and second rods, such as by caps placed onto ends of the support poles and rods. When the rods are extended from the support poles, the sheet is held taut on the frame forming a wall held upright by the brace pole and behind which a hunter can sit. Another embodiment of the hunting blind is formed by connecting two such frames together to form an enclosure for a hunter.
