Embodiment Construction

Referring to FIG. 1, the present invention, a scent-free wildlife blind 10, comprises a room-like shelter 12, a tube 14 extending from the top of the shelter to a height of approximately 30 feet from the ground, and a small vent 16 in one side of the shelter close to ground level.

The shelter 12 includes a roof 46, floor 48, front 26, rear 18, and sides 28,30. The shelter 12 must be dimensionally suited to comfortably contain one or more hunters or wildlife observers, and their equipment. Preferably, it is also small enough to be easily portable. Some suggested dimensions are 4 feet long by 4 feet wide by 51 / 2 feet high. Referring to FIG. 5, the rear 18 of the shelter has a door 20, which includes foam rubber strips along the edges 22, limiting air flow through the door when it is closed, to help maintain pressure differentials. Preferably, lock 24 prevents unauthorized access to the blind when it is unoccupied. Referring to FIGS. 3 and 4, the front 26 and sides 28,30 include windows...

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.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION1. Field of the InventionThe present invention relates to hunting blinds. Specifically, the invention is a hunting blind having an enclosed shelter, a vertical tube, and a vent at the bottom of the shelter, which permits the airflow through the blind to flow upward, expelling the occupant's scent high enough so that nearby animals will not smell it.2. Description of the Related ArtSeveral inventors have devised other hunting blinds. However, most hunting blinds are designed primarily to fool the animal's eyesight, not their sense of smell. Conversely, the present invention is designed to disguise a hunter or wildlife observer from both the animal's eyes and its nose.Some inventors use box-shaped blinds. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 3,018,857, issued to Roy P. Parham, describes a portable, enclosed, collapsible blind comprising hingedly connected panels. The blind is basically box-shaped with an open window in front, and a roof which folds out of the way to a...
