Filed:

Nov 5, 2001

Appl. No.:

10/007208

Inventors:

William H. Fargason - Birmingham AL 35236

International Classification:

E04H 1502

US Classification:

135900, 135901, 135 93, 52 791, 43 1

Abstract:

The invention is a scent-free wildlife blind. The blind has a room-like shelter having a door, a plurality of windows, a small vent near ground level, and a flexible tube extending from the top of the shelter to a height of approximately 30 feet from the ground. When the wind hits the shelter, the windspeed will be higher at the top of the tube than at the bottom vent. The pressure exerted by the wind on the air inside the shelter is inversely proportional to the wind speed. Therefore, the pressure difference will force air in through the bottom vent and out through the top of the tube, carrying the scent of the occupants out of the blind high enough so that nearby animals will not smell the occupants.

International Classification:

B63B 3500

US Classification:

114351, 114353, 135901

Abstract:

A hunting accessory comprises a pair of essentially identical shells which are removably attachable to one another by hinges. At least one shell comprises an unbroken, continuous, waterproof hull useful as the lower portion of a blind in water or marshy areas. A second shell may include a separate openable portion with viewing openings disposed over the hunters head and upper body when the assembly is used as a blind with a supine hunter concealed therein. The smaller portion is opened when the hunter has a shot at game in the vicinity. The device may also be used for the carriage of hunting equipment, and/or is useful as a closed container for containing and hauling loose materials (leaves, etc. ) in an open vehicle. The two shells may be separated from one another, with one of the shells being useful as a game drag or the like.

Appl. No.:

11/079075

Inventors:

William Fargason - Bessemer AL, US

International Classification:

A47C 7/62

US Classification:

297184170

Abstract:

The tent chair includes a folding frame supporting a folding cover, with the frame attached to a folding or portable chair. The chair has a single rearward frame bow which is radially flexible but rigid orthogonal to the lateral bow pivot axis of the chair. A series of similar bows is pivotally attached at or toward the front of the chair. The axially orthogonal rigid rearward bow supports the cover and prevents the forward bows from collapsing the cover forwardly as it is pulled taut. One use of the device is as a hunting blind, with a quick release optionally allowing the cover to be rapidly opened. Other configurations provide for use as a photography blind, a privacy shelter for camping or beach use, ice fishing, as a wheelchair or beach lounge chair cover, etc., and may have sufficient room for more than one person.
