Camouflage hood assembly

Abstract

A camouflage hood assembly including a mounting bracket for releasable attachment to a vertical support. A cord is suspended from the mounting bracket and has opposed ends. A hood, size to cover the head of a user, is secured to one of the ends of the cord and is formed of a light-transmissive webbing so that a user can see through the hood. A weight is secured to the other end of the cord. The weight is heavier than the hood such that releasing the weight causes the hood to be elevated.

1 . A camouflage hood assembly, comprising: 
 a mounting bracket being adapted for releasable attachment to a vertical support;    a cord being suspended from said mounting bracket, said cord having opposed ends;    a hood formed of light-transmissive webbing being adapted for covering the head of a user and being secured to one of said opposed ends of said cord; and,    a weight being secured to the other one of said opposed ends of said cord, said weight being heavier than said hood whereby releasing said weight causes said hood to be elevated.    
   
   
       2 . A camouflage hood assembly, comprising: 
 a mounting bracket being adapted for releasable attachment to a vertical support, said mounting bracket including: 
 a base portion for positioning against a vertical support;  
 a cantilevered portion secured to, and extending outwardly from, said base portion;  
 a pair of grommets secured to said the cantilevered portion in a spaced apart relationship; and,  
 a threaded fastener penetrating said base portion for securing said mounting bracket to a vertical support;  
   a cord suspended from said pair of grommets, said cord having opposed ends, each of which extending through a respective one of said grommets;    a hood, formed of a light-transmissive webbing being adapted for covering the head of a user and being secured to one of said opposed ends of said cord; and,    a weight being secured to the other one of said opposed ends of said cord, said weight being heavier than said hood whereby releasing said weight causes said hood to be elevated toward said cantilevered portion of said bracket.    
   
   
       3 . A camouflage hood assembly, comprising: 
 a mounting bracket being adapted for releasable attachment to a vertical support, said mounting bracket including: 
 a base portion for positioning against a vertical support;  
 a cantilevered portion secured to, and extending outwardly from, said base portion;  
 a pair of grommets secured to said the cantilevered portion in a spaced apart relationship; and,  
 a threaded fastener penetrating said base portion for securing said mounting bracket to a vertical support;  
   cord suspended from said pair of grommets, said cord having opposed ends, each of which extending through a respective one of said grommets;    a hood being adapted for covering the head of a user and being secured to one of said opposed ends of said cord, said hood including: 
 a top wall and a side wall extending downwardly from the periphery of said top wall, said top wall and said side wall being formed of open-weave netting; and,  
 a hoop secured to the periphery of said top wall; and,  
   a weight being secured to the other one of said opposed ends of said cord, said weight being heavier than said hood whereby releasing said weight causes said hood to be elevated toward said cantilevered portion of said bracket.
