Abstract

A portable and collapsible blind including a flexible cover mounted on a support structure having a plurality of side walls and a top; wherein at least one side wall includes first and second opposite edges, and the opposite edges cooperatively defining a window; an elongated member extending across the opposite edges; and a selective fastener joined to one edge and adjustably joined to the strap, the fastener selectively being fixedly joinable to the elongated member.

Claims (30)

1. A blind, comprising:

a flexible cover mounted to a support structure having at least one side wall, a portion of the at least one side wall including top and bottom edges that define a window;

at least one elongated member permanently attached to the at least one side wall at a first point above the top edge and at a second point below the bottom edge, and adjustably attached to the at least one side wall at a third point between the first point and the top edge and at a fourth point between the second point and the bottom edge;

wherein adjusting the third and forth points relative to the at least one elongated member adjusts a vertical position of the top and bottom edges, respectively.

2. The blind of claim 1 , wherein the third and fourth points are provided by a fastener that is mounted to the flexible cover and adjustably connected to the at least one elongated member.

3. The blind of claim 1 , wherein the at least one elongated member comprises a plurality of elongated members mounted to the flexible cover at spaced apart locations around a periphery of the blind.

4. The blind of claim 1 , wherein the window extends continuously around a periphery of the blind.

5. The blind of claim 1 , wherein a first portion of the flexible cover extends between the third point and the top edge, and a second portion of the flexible cover extends between the fourth point and the bottom edge.

6. A blind, comprising:

a flexible cover mounted to a support structure having at least one side wall, a portion of the at least one side wall including top and bottom edges that define a window; and

a window adjustment system that includes at least one elongated member attached to the at least one side wall at two vertically spaced apart points above the top edge and at least two vertically spaced apart points below the bottom edge, the window adjustment system being operable to independently adjust a vertical position of the top and bottom edges to vary a size and orientation of the window.

7. The blind of claim 6 , wherein the window adjustment system is operable to selectively adjust the top and bottom edges between parallel and skewed orientations relative to each other.

8. The blind of claim 6 , wherein at least one of the points of attachments of the at least one elongated member to the at least one side wall above the top edge is adjustable relative to the at least one elongated member, and one of the points of attachments of the at least one elongated member to the at least one side wall below the bottom edge is adjustable relative to the at least one elongated member.

9. A blind, comprising:

a flexible cover mounted on a support structure, the flexible cover defining a roof and a side wall, a continuous peripheral portion of the flexible cover extending around a periphery of the blind, the side wall including a top edge and a bottom edge that define a window that extends continuously around the blind;

wherein at least one of the top edge and the bottom edge are adjustable in height to alter at least one of a size, shape and orientation of the window relative to the support structure;

wherein the top edge and bottom edge are adjustable in height to overlap each other.

10. The blind of claim 9 , wherein the top and bottom edges are independently adjustable in height.

11. The blind of claim 9 , further comprising a plurality of elongated members extending across the window and being connected to the side wall at multiple locations above the top edge and multiple locations below the bottom edge.

12. A blind, comprising:

at least one side wall;

a window defined in the at least one side wall by a top edge and an opposing bottom edge;

wherein the at least one side wall includes surplus material above the window and surplus material below the window, the surplus material both above the window and below the window being manipulable to adjust vertically the position of the window.

13. The blind of claim 12 , further comprising a plurality of elongated members extending across the window and being connected to the side wall at multiple locations above the top edge and multiple locations below the bottom edge, wherein at least some of the surplus material is provided between the locations where the elongated members are connected to the side wall above the top edge, and at least some of the surplus material is provided between the locations where the elongated members are connected to the side wall below the bottom edge.

14. A blind, comprising:

a flexible cover mounted on a support structure, the flexible cover defining a side wall that extends around a periphery of the blind, the side wall including a top edge and a bottom edge that define a window that extends continuously around the blind;

wherein at least one of the top edge and the bottom edge are adjustable in height to alter at least one of a size, shape and orientation of the window relative to the support structure;

wherein the top edge and bottom edge are adjustable in height to overlap each other.

15. The blind of claim 14 , wherein the top and bottom edges are independently adjustable in height.
