Abstract
A device for sealing an opening in a structure. The device includes a covering placed over the opening, and an anchor located at an interface between the structure and the covering. The covering is readily penetrable by a bullet or an arrow. Air intake from an environment surrounding the structure is provided into the structure through the interface.
Claims19
A device for sealing an opening in a structure, the device comprising:
- an optically transparent covering placed over the opening;
- and
- a plurality of anchors located at an interface between the structure and the covering for removeably attaching the covering to the structure, the plurality of anchors are intermittently disposed around an entire perimeter of the opening,
- wherein a gap is defined between each of the plurality of anchors that are disposed around the entire perimeter of the opening,
- wherein the covering is readily penetrable by a bullet or an arrow,
- wherein air intake from an environment surrounding the structure is provided into the structure through one or more of the gaps at the interface, and
- wherein the structure and the covering are substantially impervious to transmission of scent from within the structure to the environment surrounding the structure.

A method of containing scent within a structure, comprising steps of:
- placing an optically transparent covering over an opening defined in the structure;
- and
- attaching the covering to the structure with a plurality of anchors;
- wherein the plurality of anchors are intermittently disposed around an entire perimeter of the opening such that gaps are formed between each of the anchors;
- wherein air intake from an environment surrounding the structure is provided into the structure through the gaps;
- and
- wherein the structure and the covering are substantially impervious to transmission of scent from within the structure to the environment surrounding the structure.
4 more elements
A hunting blind comprising:
- a structure defined by at least one wall;
- an opening defined in the at least one wall;
- an optically transparent covering placed over the opening, the covering is readily penetrable by a projectile, the covering is placed over the opening from an inside surface of the at least one wall;
- and
- a plurality of anchors located at an interface between the at least one wall and the covering, the plurality of anchors are disposed around an entire perimeter of the opening the plurality of anchors providing for removeably attaching the covering to the at least one wall,
- wherein the interface comprises an area of overlap between the covering and the inside surface of the at least one wall around the entire perimeter of the opening,
- wherein the structure and the covering are substantially impervious to the transmission of scent from within the structure to an environment surrounding the structure, and
- wherein air intake from the environment is provided into the structure through gaps defined between the plurality of anchors at the interface between the at least one wall and the covering.
