Abstract:

A camouflage blind which is readily portable and effective in providing cover and concealment, employs a plurality of masking components which form a camouflage facade. The blind, using a plurality of twig elements, each having a pair of flexible wires entrapping a filament, simulates pine needles. The twig elements are secured to a heavier flexible wire by wrapping the base of the twig elements to the heavier wire to form a branch. A plurality of branch members are twisted together at their bases or are attached to a heavier wire, these components having wrappings at their points of attachment to form a limb. A plurality of limbs are secured to a shaft member, forming a camouflage facade, by producing a small artificial tree or extended tree section in the nature of an evergreen tree or other desired tree type. A handle is positioned at the lower end of the shaft member. The lower end has a threaded section and a pointed end. A separate handle section, detachable from and attachable to the shaft member, can be employed for ease of transport and storage of the camouflage blind. The threaded section is used to screw the shaft, and hence the camouflage blind, into a tree, tree stand, existing blind, the ground, or other supporting surface. The flexible nature of the artificial tree masking components of the camouflage facade permit them to be bent and positioned as desired. A separate handle section, detachable from and attachable to the shaft member, can be employed for ease of transport and storage of the camouflage blind.
