AI Technical Summary
Benefits of technology
The system provides a versatile, quiet, and effective means of concealment and shelter with improved skin tightness, reduced noise, and enhanced mobility, allowing for quick setup and reliable use in various outdoor conditions.
Problems solved by technology
In the past, quite complex, heavy structures have been built or constructed for concealment.
The use of such devices has several disadvantages such as being heavy, bulky, noisy, expensive, and complicated to assemble or use.
Most of these devices have only a single use with poor performance.
Complicated equipment or procedures create a situation where a person may drop equipment or, even worse, fall from the tree stand.
Most of the existing devices block the view or mobility of the person.
Later when the lumber is harvested and cut, the saw strikes the metal object and can cause severe damage.
However, these are limited in various ways.
Numerous blind designs have attempted to provide the desired skin tightness but have failed without using complex, heavy frames that require significant time and athleticism to set up.
Those that are lightweight and fast, such as conventional umbrella designs, fail to put enough force into the frame to provide the desired result.
Further, because many blind products have promised, but have failed to deliver, cover skins that remain substantially motionless in windy conditions encountered while hunting, consumers are skeptical.
Although arch shaped quickset blinds have been used with some success, the arch shape does not provide maximum headroom close to the walls, and a larger amount of energy must be stored in the arches to achieve skin tightness.

Embodiment Construction
[0088]The present invention comprises an easy to use, simple, lightweight, compact, portable modular system for concealment and shelter and methods for its construction and use. The main components of a basic module are various novel supports and a curtain. The support attaches to a structure and pivots at the attachment. Other modules include novel covers with cover shafts, a removable floor, a rain fly, and various novel flies and shields. The modules can be combined to form various tree blinds, ground blinds, waterfowl blinds, blinds attached to vessels or vehicles, and various shelters. The system uses novel shaft segments that can be attached in various configurations and then broken down without detaching the attachments. The present invention encompasses various embodiments of the attaching pivoting support as well as various embodiments of curtains with various features. A method of the present invention allows for 360-degree concealment. In addition to a method of being ful...

A modular free-standing shelter including a frame and a cover. The frame has an upper plate and a lower plate, and a number of cover shafts are each pivotally connected at one end to the upper plate. A number of stretcher shafts are each pivotally connected between a respective one of the cover shafts and the lower plate. A separation shaft is affixed to one of the plates for separating the upper and lower plates at a predetermined distance. The cover is a skin having a predetermined shape that is engaged by the cover shafts.
