First and second main struts are supported by the horizontal supports. First and second pluralities of arch members are affixed at a central attachment point to the first main strut and second main strut, respectively. The outer ends of the first and second pluralities of arch members support outer struts. In the first exemplary embodiment, the inner ends of the first and second pluralities of arch members are affixed to one another, and the main struts are affixed rigidly to the horizontal supports. In the second exemplary embodiment, first and second inner struts are affixed to the inner ends of the first and second pluralities of arch members, and the main struts are affixed rotatably to the horizontal supports. A canopy cover is affixed over the arch members and struts. | 10-29-2015 |
20150315808 | SELF-BRACING SHELTER - A self-bracing shelter includes a frame and a skin. First and second subframes are arranged in vertical planes, each including first and second feet and a central portion. A ridge beam extends axially between the first and second subframes and includes opposite first and second ends that extend axially beyond the first and second subframes, respectively, such that the opposite ends of the beam are located outside a footprint of a planform defined by the feet of the subframes. A first pair of outer tension members is connected between the first end of the beam and the first subframe on opposite sides of the beam. A second pair of outer tension members is connected between the second end of the beam and the second subframe on opposite sides of the beam. | 11-05-2015 |
20150330097 | TENT SYSTEM AND METHODS - A tent has a floor, and a plurality of side walls connected to the floor. The tent additionally includes a plurality of external poles for supporting corners of the tent, and a clip attachable to at least one end of each external pole. The clip also includes a flange for attaching the clip to the tent side walls or floor. The system further includes a stake assembly for securing a lower end of each external pole directly into a ground surface on which the tent is disposed, which includes a sleeve portion having a linear channel for receiving a stake therethrough and a tent pole receptacle connected to the sleeve portion. The tent pole receptacle includes a channel for receiving a bottom end of a tent pole therein, wherein the stake assembly secures the tent pole disposed in the tent pole receptacle directly to the ground surface. | 11-19-2015 |
20160083972 | ELEVATED HUNTING BLIND - The present disclosure provides a hunting blind. The hunting blind, in one embodiment, includes a base comprised of a metal exterior with metal support crossbars configured to support the weight of a human and be elevated above ground level using three or more separate legs. The hunting blind, in this embodiment, includes one or more sidewalls coupleable to the base, at least one of the one or more sidewalls including a first rigid substantially vertical portion and a second rigid portion extending up and slanting outwardly from the first substantially vertical portion by at least about 10 degrees. The hunting blind, in this embodiment, further includes one or more fixed outwardly slanting windows located within the second rigid portion, the one or more outwardly slanting windows have a surface area less than a surface area of the second rigid portion, and a rigid roof coupled to the second portion. | 03-24-2016 |
20160138295 | Personal Space Creator - A portable, collapsible screen that comprises a frame and a cover, and, optionally, a storage unit is provided herein, which define a personal space that is useful as a privacy cover or protected work space in a variety of environments, and can be integrated into a storage unit for support and for ease of transportation. | 05-19-2016 |
