While this disclosure is susceptible of embodiment in many different forms, there is shown in the drawings and described herein in detail a specific embodiment(s) with the understanding that the present disclosure is to be considered as an exemplification and is not intended to be limited to the embodiment(s) illustrated.

It will be understood that like or analogous elements and/or components, referred to herein, may be identified throughout the drawings by like reference characters. In addition, it will be understood that the drawings are merely schematic representations of the invention, and some of the components may have been distorted from actual scale for purposes of pictorial clarity.

It has become appreciated that typical hunting blind apparatuses are difficult to assemble and are not portable, and that a hunting blind apparatus is needed that overcomes such deficiencies. As such, referring now to the drawings and in particular to FIG. 1, an apparatus is disclosed herein, such as a collapsible hunting blind apparatus 100 that at least mitigates such deficiencies. FIG. 1 illustrates the collapsible hunting blind apparatus 100 in a collapsed state, such as having been moved to a location at which the collapsible hunting blind apparatus 100 will be assembled and ready for use during hunting, or alternatively ready for movement to another location. In this collapsed state, the collapsible hunting blind apparatus 100 is shown as including a roof member 110 that is coupled to a floor member 120. In at least one embodiment, the collapsible hunting blind apparatus 100 can be approximately (+−10%) 6 feet in length and width, and approximately (+−10%) 19.5 inches in height when coupled in a collapsed state, as shown in FIGS. 1-4, with approximately (+−10%) 3 inches of the floor member 120 being exposed when the roof member 110 and the floor member 120 are coupled.

The roof member 110 can include various angled surfaces 111a, 111b, 111c, 111d that form a top of the roof member 110, such as approximately (+−10%) 30 degrees off of horizontal. These angled surfaces are coupled to roof side walls 112a, 112b, 112c, 112d, respectively, of the roof member 110. In at least one other embodiment (not shown), the roof member 110 can have a flat top or a domed top. In at least one embodiment, the height of the roof side walls 112a, 112b, 112c, 112d is such that there an open spaced is formed between the roof member 110 and the floor member 120 when the roof member 110 and the floor member 120 are coupled together. This open space can be used for storage, such as to store walls 512a, 512b, 512c, 512d (FIG. 5) of the collapsible hunting blind apparatus 100 where the roof member 110 can be coupled to the floor member 120 while the walls 512a, 512b, 512c, 512d are folded atop the floor member 120. In at least one embodiment, the components, that is the floor member 120, the roof member 110, and the plurality of walls 512a-d. of the collapsible hunting blind apparatus 100 can be manufactured with a blow molding process that makes such components as hollow plastic parts, other than those described herein that are manufactured from other materials.

In at least one embodiment, corners of both the roof member 110 and the floor member 120 can be notched such that the corners of the roof member 110 and the floor member 120 are not right angles, forming cut angled corners 113a, 113b, 113c, 113d on the roof member 110 and cut angled corners 123a, 123b, 123c, 123d on corners of the floor member 120. For example, these cut angled corners 113a, 113b, 113c, 113d and 123a, 123b, 123c, 123d can be angled at approximately (+−2 degrees) 45 degrees at corners of the roof member 110 and the floor member 120.

In at least one embodiment, the collapsible hunting blind apparatus 100 can further include a tow frame 130 that allows for ease of movement of the collapsible hunting blind apparatus 100 from one location to another, such as via an All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV), while hunting, such as via wheels and tires 135 coupled to the tow frame 130. In at least one embodiment, the wheels and tires 135 can be approximately (+−10%) 26 inches in diameter. The tow frame 130 can include a first tow frame member 147 that is coupled to and proximate to a first side 124 of the floor member 120 and a second tow frame member 148 that is coupled to and disposed proximate to a second side 125 of the floor member 120. The tow frame 130 can snap into a bottom 122 of the floor member 120, making the tow frame 130 extend approximately (+−2%) parallel to the bottom 122 of the floor member 120. Although a user can grasp the tow frame 130 and walk the collapsible hunting blind apparatus 100 to a desired location, in at least one embodiment the collapsible hunting blind apparatus 100 can further include a trailer hitch 155, coupled to the tow frame 130, disposed a distance (e.g., approximately three feet) away from the floor member 120.

In at least one embodiment, the collapsible hunting blind apparatus 100 can further include a kickstand 315 (FIG. 3) coupled to the tow frame 130. The kickstand 315 allows the collapsible hunting blind apparatus 100 to remain in an angled position, with a back of the collapsible hunting blind apparatus 100 touching a top 217 of a ground onto which the collapsible hunting blind apparatus 100 is to be placed and removed. The kickstand 315 assists with placing and removing the collapsible hunting blind apparatus 100 at and from a desired location. In at least one embodiment, the tow frame 130 can removeable. The tow frame 130 can be removed from the collapsible hunting blind apparatus 100, placing the collapsible hunting blind apparatus 100 onto the top 217 of the ground, as shown in FIG. 4.

With reference to FIG. 5, the collapsible hunting blind apparatus 100 is shown in process of either being collapsed or erected. To collapse the collapsible hunting blind apparatus 100, the roof member 110 is detached and the walls 512a, 512b, 512c, 512d are folded atop one another, as shown. To erect the collapsible hunting blind apparatus 100, the walls 512a, 512b, 512c, 512d are folded upward into approximately (+−2 degrees) a vertical orientation. Once the walls 512a, 512b, 512c, 512d are folded upward, the roof member 110 is then coupled to tops 513a, 513b, 513c, 513d of the walls 512a, 512b, 512c, 512d, respectively.

In at least one embodiment bottoms 515a, 515b, 515c, 515d of the walls 512a, 512b, 512c, 512d, respectively, are “hinged” to allow the walls 512a, 512b, 512c, 512d to hingedly fold atop the floor member 120. In at least one embodiment, the floor member 120 includes tabs 522 disposed along a perimeter of the floor member 120, each of the tabs 522 extending upward away from a base 530 of the floor member 120, the base 530 typically placed onto a ground during setup of the collapsible hunting blind apparatus 100. In the example shown, three such tabs 522 are included on each side of the floor member, although use of more or less tabs 522 are possible. In at least one embodiment the floor member 120 includes wall supports 521a, 521b, 521c, 521d disposed around a perimeter of the floor member 120 and perpendicularly coupled to the base 530, the wall supports 521a, 521b, 521c, 521d including these tabs 522 atop the wall supports 521a, 521b, 521c, 521d. In at least one embodiment, these tabs 522 can be located on inside bottom edges of the wall supports 521a, 521b, 521c, 521d, as shown. The tabs 522 correspond to indents 514 on the bottoms 515a, 515b, 515c, 515d of the walls 512a, 512b, 512c, 512d, such as on inside bottom edges of the walls 512a, 512b, 512c, 512d. The tabs 522 and indents 514 can lock together to allow the walls 512a, 512b, 512c, 512d to hingedly move with respect to the wall supports 521a, 521b, 521c, 521d. Thus, in at least one embodiment the walls 512a, 512b, 512c, 512d can fold inward toward opposite walls, atop the floor member 120. In at least one embodiment, the bottoms 515a, 515b, 515c, 515d of the walls 512a, 512b, 512c, 512d can be angled at approximately (+−3%) 45 degrees, as shown. Likewise, the tops 523a, 523b, 523c, 523d of the wall supports 521a, 521b, 521c, 521d can be angled at approximately (+−3%) 45 degrees, such that the walls 512a, 512b, 512c, 512d can move with respect to the wall supports 521a, 521b, 521c, 521d without interference at their pointed of contact, allowing the walls 512a, 512b, 512c, 512d to fold atop the floor member 120 without, in at least one embodiment, becoming decoupled from the wall supports 521a, 521b, 521c, 521d.

In at least one embodiment, the wall supports 521a, 521b, 521c, 521d can each be a different height and the walls 512a, 512b, 512c, 512d can each be a different height to correspond to the heights of the wall supports 521a, 521b, 521c, 521d, as shown. For example, the tallest wall support 521c is coupled to a shortest wall 512c, and the shortest wall support 521d is coupled to the tallest wall 512d, etc., such that a level surface is formed at the tops 513a, 513b, 513c, 513d of the walls 512a, 512b, 512c, 512d when assembled to allow the roof member 110 to lie flat across tops 513a, 513b, 513c, 513d of the walls 512a, 512b, 512c, 512d. As shown, the wall support 521d is the shortest of the wall supports 521a, 521b, 521c, 521d, such that the wall 512d can hingedly fold flat against the floor member 120 while the wall 512d remains hingedly coupled to the wall support 521d. Likewise, wall support 521b is the next tallest of the wall supports 521a, 521b, 521c, 521d, such that the wall 512b can hingedly fold flat against the wall support 521d while remaining hingedly coupled to the wall support 521d, as shown. Likewise, wall support 521a is the next tallest of the wall supports 521a, 521b, 521c, 521d, such that the wall 512a can hingedly fold flat against the wall support 521b while remaining hingedly coupled to the wall support 521d. Likewise, wall support 521c is the tallest of the wall supports 521a, 521b, 521c, 521d, such that the wall 512c can hingedly fold flat against the wall support 521a while remaining hingedly coupled to the wall support 521d. In at least one embodiment, the walls 512a, 512b, 512c, 512d are substantially identical except that the walls 512a, 512b, 512c, 512d are of different height. Thus, the walls 512a, 512b, 512c, 512d can be manufactured from a single mold to save cost, and cut to proper heights after manufacture. The walls 512a, 512b, 512c, 512d are folded up in order from shortest to tallest, with the wall 512d being last up. Likewise, the walls 512a, 512b, 512c, 512d are folded in atop the base 530 in order from shortest to tallest, with the wall 512d being last down atop the base 530.

In at least one embodiment, the walls 512a, 512b, 512c, 512d can include various structural recesses 516 (e.g., rectangular shaped) into the walls 512a, 512b, 512c, 512d that increase a rigidity of the walls 512a, 512b, 512c, 512d, as shown. Although four such various structural recesses 516 are shown for each of the walls 512a, 512b, 512c, 512d, more or less structural recesses 516 can be used. Any or all of the walls 512a, 512b, 512c, 512d can also include at least one opening into which a door 555 can be disposed, as shown. In at least one embodiment, any of the structural recesses 516 can be removed during manufacture or thereafter to form a window 518 disposed in the walls 512a, 512b, 512c, 512d, or even outside of openings in the walls 512a, 512b, 512c, 512d as shown in FIG. 15. In at least one embodiment, the window 518 can include a fixed glass or fixed plexiglass therein to assist with making the collapsible hunting blind apparatus 100 weather resistant. The opening and the door 555 can be hinged along one of its vertical edges, as shown, similar to the tab and indent hinge arrangement described above for coupling the walls 512a, 512b, 512c, 512d and the wall supports 521a, 521b, 521c, 521d. In at least one embodiment, the door 555 can include an opening 557 therein, which in at least one embodiment can include a sliding shoot port 575 disposed therein. The sliding shoot port 575 includes a sliding panel 576 that can slide vertically up and down when a hunter desires access to an environment surrounding the collapsible hunting blind apparatus 100 for hunting.

With reference to FIG. 6, the collapsible hunting blind apparatus 100 is shown as being in an assembled state. In at least one embodiment, the collapsible hunting blind apparatus 100 can further include trim, such as corner joint trim 610. The corner joint trim 610 can be a flexible material, such as vinyl, that is coupled, such as via a hook and loop fastener, along joints where any two of the walls 512a, 512b, 512c, 512d meet, such as at corners of the collapsible hunting blind apparatus 100, as shown. In at least one embodiment, the corner joint trim 610 can be coupled to the walls 512a, 512b, 512c, 512d via a detachable fastener, e.g., a hook-and-loop fastener such as that made by Velcro. In this assembled state, the “Z” clips 132 are used to clip the roof member 110 to tops 513a, 513b, 513c, 513d of the walls 512a, 512b, 512c, 512d, as shown.
