Foldable Hunting Blind Base With Detachable Wheels for Uneven Ground
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional hunting blinds are cumbersome to move, require a flat surface, and often create noise and scent issues, limiting their mobility and effectiveness on uneven terrain.
Innovation Solution
A portable stand with a foldable base and detachable wheel arrangement, combined with adjustable support members that can be extended to accommodate uneven surfaces, allowing for easy transportation and setup on various terrains.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If conventional hunting blinds are used, then hunters can conceal their position, but the blinds are cumbersome to move and require flat surfaces
Solution Approach 1:
The hunting blind is divided into modular components including a base structure, vertical supports, and a camouflaged enclosure that can be assembled and disassembled independently. This segmentation allows the blind to be transported in parts and adapted to various terrain configurations without requiring the entire structure to be moved as one piece.
Solution Approach 2:
The blind incorporates adjustable and movable elements such as height-adjustable supports, reconfigurable base plates, and collapsible framing that enable the structure to adapt dynamically to uneven ground. These dynamic features allow hunters to level the blind on sloped terrain and facilitate quick setup and takedown without requiring perfectly flat surfaces.
2Ease of operation
If conventional hunting blinds are placed on the ground, then equipment can be stored within, but equipment creates obstacles and noise
Solution Approach 1:
The blind structure integrates multiple functions including built-in equipment storage compartments, attachment points for gear, and designated storage areas that keep equipment organized and accessible without placing it on the ground. This multi-functionality eliminates the need for separate ground-level equipment storage, preventing equipment from becoming obstacles or noise sources.
3Object-affected harmful factors
If conventional hunting blinds are moved to new locations, then scent issues can be avoided, but the process is time-consuming and noisy
Solution Approach 1:
The blind is designed with pre-assembled modular sections and quick-connect mechanisms that allow for rapid deployment at new locations. Attachment points and connection systems are pre-positioned to enable fast assembly without requiring complex on-site construction, significantly reducing the time needed to relocate the blind when scent management becomes necessary.

AI summary
A portable stand may include a base member transitionable between a folded and unfolded position; at least one wheel arrangement mounted to the base member; and a plurality of adjustable support members to support the base member. The portable stand may be is transitionable between a first position and a second position. In the first position, the base member may be in the folded position, and the at least one wheel arrangement may be mounted to the folded base member, permitting a user of the portable stand to transport the portable stand. In the second position, the base member may be in the unfolded position, the at least one wheel arrangement may be detached from the base member, and the plurality of adjustable support members may be in contact with a surface, permitting a user to be supported by the unfolded base member.
