| Abstract: |
A portable hunting blind is disclosed in the preferred embodiment. The illustrated form incorporates a coil spring which is coiled between two end rings and which elongates to deploy a hollow tube of cloth. The cloth is camouflaged on the exterior and is pattern marked with camouflage designs. The apparatus thus telescopes to a very small height and has the form of a stack of rings with attached camouflage material, a type of waterproof cloth. It has a flap covered door to be opened for a hunter to extend a rifle or shotgun through the opening. Additionally, it includes a sealed air-inflatable chair bottom and chair back for the comfort of the hunter.

| Claim |
I claim:
1. A portable hunting blind comprising:
- (a) an elongate coil spring of internal diameter sufficient to encircle a hunter and having an extended height to enclose the hunter;
- (b) a flexible cloth cover having an elongate tubular shape with an open upper end fastened around said spring, said cloth cover elongating with said spring to enclose the hunter therein and including a separately movable, circular, top flap at one end thereof to cover said open upper end to protect the hunter against inclement weather;
- (c) inflatable seat means fitting within said elongate spring and said flexible cloth cover for supporting a hunter seated thereon, said inflatable seat means comprising a bottom cushion which is inflated to form and define a generally horizontal surface enabling the hunter to sit thereon and which further includes an inflated back cushion positioned relative to the bottom cushion to serve as a back rest, said back cushion and said bottom cushion being two separately inflatable cushions, each having valve means for inflation and each of said valve means being separately closable;
- (d) said back cushion being affixed to said bottom cushion at a location to define an upstanding back support adjacent to a horizontal surface, said seat means having a semicircular external profile to concentrically fit within said tubular shaped cloth cover;
- (e) releasable connective means provided on said back cushion for attaching said seat means to said flexible cloth cover; and
- (f) portal means in said cloth cover closable by a selectively movable portion of said cloth cover which is arranged adjacent to said portal means for closing said portal means and which alternately opens said portal means to enable the hunter to position a weapon for discharge through said portal means.
