A mesh material for fabricating hunting blinds, tents, and other similar flexible structures. The material is durable, water-resistant, and partially light-transmissive such that persons or objects inside or behind the structures are not easily seen from outside the structures. The material is also semi-permeable to air flow for ventilation purposes. The mesh material is fabricated from an interwoven polyester, polyurethane, or polyvinyl chloride (PVC) fabric that is coated with acrylic and a mixture of silicone and ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA). Patterns and/or colors are printed on both sides of the fabric with a heat transfer paper printing process to provide a desired level of light transmissivity.

A foldable playard includes a frame defining an interior space when unfolded and soft goods partially disposed within the interior space to define a partially enclosed space for a child to play and/or sleep. The frame includes multiple leg support assemblies and multiple X-frame assemblies that couple adjacent leg support assemblies together. The X-frame assembly is positioned near the top of the frame when the playard is unfolded such that the X-frame assembly functions as a top rail to mechanically reinforce the playard. In this manner, the playard does not include a separate compliant or rigid top rail or a bottom support structure, thus reducing the number of parts for manufacture. Additionally, the playard includes a single latch mechanism to maintain the playard in the unfolded configuration. The playard may also include an optional canopy cover assembly mounted to the frame to provide shade for the child.

An illustrated view of an exemplary hunting blind is presented. The hunting blind is useful for those that may need help in putting the hunting blind in an ideal location of a tree. The hunting blind is also useful to allow a hunter, in the hunting blind, to remain in the hunting blind when accessories are needed. The hunter would not leave the hunting blind which may scare away to game the hunter is hoping to hunt. The hunting blind is preferably seven (7) feet in height. The hunting blind has a winch and cable to hoist or raise the hunting blind into a tree. The winch is powered by a 12-volt battery and has a switch to automate the raising of the hunting blind. Other amenities are also provided such as a toilet, a seat, a cooler, a heater/cooker, charger for computing devices and a light.

A collapsible shelter is provided herein. The collapsible shelter may include a frame. A cover is disposed over the frame and defines a window. First and second flaps are each operably coupled with the cover and configured to extend over separate portions of the window. A retaining device has a first portion disposed on the first flap and a second portion disposed on the second flap. The first and second portions are configured to engage one another. An elongated member is disposed within the first and second flaps and is configured to retain the first and second flaps in a non-linear position.

A hunting blind including four side panels and a roof panel. The four side panels and the roof panel include perforated peripheral frame members. The perforations in the frame members are aligned so that pins can be inserted through the perforations and retained there through so that the side panels and the roof panel are fastened together to form the hunting blind. The hunting blind is preferably bolted to a floor panel which floor panel can be mounted on a stand to elevate the hunting blind.

A five-device-in-one arthritic-aiding reversible sun-blocking projector-screening event-sheltering vehicle-awning cupola comprises: a spline hub, arched splines screwed to the spline hub for connecting multiple cupolas together and supporting and tensioning and deploying and retracting the cupola, arched spline-extension prongs inserted into arched splines, elevator booms, an automatic-sliding elevator lock slidably attached to the arched splines for automatically deploying and retracting the cupola and assisting the elevator booms to provide tension to the cupola and sliding vertically on the respective arched spline, an elevator-lock lever attached to the elevator lock for engaging the elevator lock on the arched splines using an arthritic's hand and assisting the elevator lock to lock the elevator booms to a predetermined vertical position on the arched splines and quickly and easily repositioning the elevator lock on the arched splines with an arthritic's hand and providing large surface area to aid those arthritics with limited hand mobility to operate, elevator-boom hand paddles attached to the elevator booms for allowing an arthritic hand to securely grip the hand paddles and allowing persons with arthritic hands to deploy the cupola by easily sliding the elevator lock upward and downward on the arched splines and allowing persons with arthritic hands to slide the elevator lock upward or downward on the arched splines and accommodating persons with arthritic hands to grip the hand paddles in two points of contact to equalize side-to-side pressure while pushing upward or downward and reducing effort for a person with arthritic hands by providing two hand paddles to assist while operating the elevator lock and reducing pain for those with arthritic hand conditions by providing large surface areas to distribute the pressure on their hands thereby minimizing pressure to concentrated areas of their hands and aiding those with arthritic hand conditions by providing front and back and top and bottom ridges on the hand paddles to help to easily position and maintain their hands in the center of hand paddles without slipping off while pushing upwards or downwards, an adjustable dome attached to the arched spline-extension prongs for functioning as a weather shield and a privacy shield and a domed truck-bed cover and a domed truck-side tent and a curved projection screen and a truck-side awning and a tailgate awning and an awning to provide privacy and protection from weather to persons and pets and belongings and dog kennels and persons camping and to view projected media thereon or to increase the volume and security to items in a truck bed when attached to

Disclosed herein are novel personal pop-up pods designed for a single user. The personal pop-up pods can provide a user with privacy and/or protection from the surrounding elements. The personal pop-up pods are designed such that a user can remain mobile, i.e., able to move from one location to another while using a personal pop-up pod. The personal pop-up pods are designed such that a user can selectively gain access to the area surrounding the pop-up pod by opening windows and other points of access.

An extendable trailer assembly configured to be towed by a vehicle. The extendable trailer assembly includes a first compartment including a floor, a pair of opposing sidewalls, and a ceiling. The first compartment is configured to be coupled to a trailer hitch of the vehicle. The extendable trailer assembly also includes a second compartment including a floor, a pair of opposing sidewalls, and a ceiling. The extendable trailer assembly also includes a slide assembly slidably coupling the second compartment to the first compartment such that the second compartment is slidable relative to the first compartment between a fully extended position and a fully retracted position in which the first compartment is at least partially housed inside of the first compartment. The extendable trailer assembly is free of road-capable wheels for transport by the vehicle.

A hunting blind incorporating a right panel having a cow silhouetting periphery; a left panel having a cow silhouetting periphery; and a matrix of cross members spanning between the panels; wherein one of the matrix members pivots for seating; wherein another of the matrix members is adapted to pivot in the manner of a door and has a cow rear silhouetting periphery; and wherein another of the matrix members pivots to form a storage shelf; the hunting blind further incorporating a cow head silhouetting plate suspended from the panels' forward ends.
