The disclosure and prior art relates to hunting devices and more particularly pertains to a new hunting device for inhibiting prey from seeing into a hunting blind.
An embodiment of the disclosure meets the needs presented above by generally comprising a structure that may house a hunter. The housing has a first opening extending into an interior of the structure. A weapon is selectively extended through the first opening for hunting. A shield unit is positioned within the structure such that the shield unit covers the first opening. The shield unit is comprised of a polarized material to pass light therethrough in a single direction. In this way the window inhibits prey from seeing through the shield unit.
There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the disclosure in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are additional features of the disclosure that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.
The objects of the disclosure, along with the various features of novelty which characterize the disclosure, are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this disclosure.
The disclosure will be better understood and objects other than those set forth above will become apparent when consideration is given to the following detailed description thereof. Such description makes reference to the annexed drawings wherein:
With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to
As best illustrated in
A shield unit 22 is provided and the shield unit 22 is positioned within the structure 12 such that the shield unit 22 covers the first opening 18. The shield unit 22 is comprised of a polarized material to pass light therethrough in a single direction. In this way the shield unit 22 inhibits prey from seeing through the shield unit 22.
The shield unit 22 comprises a first curtain 24 that is suspended on the inside surface 16 of the structure 12. The first curtain 24 has a first lateral edge 26 and he curtain is positioned such that the first lateral edge 26 is aligned with the first opening 18 in the structure 12. A second curtain 28 is suspended on the inside surface 16 of the structure 12. The second curtain 28 has a first lateral edge 30 and the second curtain 28 is positioned such that the first lateral edge 30 of the second curtain 28 is aligned with the first opening 18 in the structure 12. Each of the first curtain 24 and the second curtain 28 facilitates the weapon 20 to be extended between the first lateral edge 26 of the first curtain 24 and the first lateral edge 30 of the second curtain 28.
The second curtain 28 has a second opening 32 extending therethrough. The second opening 32 is aligned with the first opening 18 to facilitate the prey to be visible through the second opening 32 and the first opening 18. A pair of fasteners 34 is provided and each of the fasteners 34 is selectively coupled to the inside surface 16 of the structure 12. Each of the fasteners 34 is positioned above the first opening 18 and each of the fasteners 34 may be a threaded hook or the like.
A pair of chains 36 is provided and each of the chains 36 has a first end 38 and a second end 40. The first end 38 corresponding to each of the chains 36 is releasably coupled to an associated one of the fasteners 34. Alternatively, a pair of cables, ropes or other means of suspension may be provided in lieu of the chains 36.
A window 42 is provided and the window 42 is coupled to the second end 40 corresponding to each of the chains 36. The window 42 has a first surface 44 and a second surface 46. Moreover, the window 42 is coupled to the second end 40 corresponding to each of the chains 36 having the first surface 44 facing an interior of the structure 12. The window 42 is aligned with each of the first opening 18 and the second opening 32.
The window 42 is comprised of a polarized material. Thus, light may pass between the first surface 44 and the second surface 46. Moreover, light is inhibited from passing between the second surface 46 and the first surface 44. In this way the window 42 inhibits the prey from seeing into the structure 12. The window 42 may be comprised of one way glass or the like.
In use, the structure 12 is positioned in a selected spot outdoors for the purposes of hunting. Each of the fasteners 34 is fastened to the inside surface 16 of the structure 12. Each of the first 24 and second 28 curtains is suspended on the inside surface 16 of the structure 12 through any conventional means. Moreover, the first lateral edge 26,30 corresponding to each of the first 24 and second 28 curtains is aligned with the first opening 18. Each of the chains 36 is suspended from an associated one of the fasteners 34 to align the window 42 with the first opening 18 and the second opening 32. In this way the prey is visible from the interior of the structure 12 and the prey cannot see into the interior of the structure 12. The weapon 20 is extended between the first 24 and second 28 curtains and outwardly through the first opening 18 to kill the prey.
With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodiment enabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, system and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the disclosure.
Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the disclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. A reference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless the context clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.
