Variable Viewing Window Shade/Awning System

Abstract

A fabric window shade/awning system or assembly having two (2) cordless overlapping panels that can be adjusted to vertically create an opening within the wall of an enclosure. The window assembly is fabricated and all adjustments are done inside the enclosure. The bottom/inside panel is permanently attached along its bottom to the wall, the top/outside panel, vertically overlapping the bottom panel, is permanently attached at the top and being part of the wall. Both panels, each, have zippers along each of its side margins and assembly/wall. The top/outside panel has fabricated pockets, of like material, with inserted constant-force coiled steel springs to create an awning, within the top panel, when relaxed. To create an opening, the bottom/inside panel is first unzipped allowing it fall, by gravity, then the top/outside panel raises, when unzipped, due to the relaxed constant-force coiled springs to define/create a desired concealment and an opening for a field of view through such window assembly. The top panel awning helps prevent rain from entering the outdoor enclosures used in the field of this invention being hunting blinds, wildlife viewing/photography blind, camping tents, craft/event tents, military, and etc.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A vertically variable concealment/viewing window shade/awning system or assembly comprised of:
 two (2) cordless vertically movable overlapping fabric panels incorporated within the interior wall of an outdoor enclosure and typically fabricated with like material as the enclosure housing the said fabric window assembly using standard sewing methods, in the field of this invention,   each window assembly can be fabricated with its opening typically being 6 to 20 inches wide, horizontally, and 15 to 18 inches, vertically allowing the two (2) panels to provides a very wide range of incremental adjustments to vary the vertical position of each panel, or the combination of both to create the desired vertical opening size, 15 to 18 inches vertically, and, at the same time vary the height of said opening size from the floor of the enclosure,   the bottom/inside panel is permanently fixed along its bottom edge to the window assembly/wall and the overlapping top/outside panel is permanently fixed, being part of the wall of the enclosure with the top/outside panel fully down and the bottom/inside panel fully up, it is said, they vertically overlap and define a closed/concealed opening within window assembly,   both bottom and top panels, each, have a zipper attached along each of its lateral margins and the window assembly/wall having the bottom/inside panel slightly wider, horizontally, than the top/outside panel to allow its zippers to be attached to the wall, outside the attached top panel zippers, which are attached to the wall,   the top/outside fabric panel has a fabricated pocket of like material attached along each lateral margins, just inside each zipper of top panel, for receiving and retaining the constant-force steel ribbon springs,   springs have a constant force on them to coil along their nearly full length which is the same vertical length of the top panel and are in pockets attached to the top panel causing it to roll/coil up when the restraining means of the zippers are retracted (unzipped), allowing constant-force springs to relax to their coiled position,   the top/outside panel's zippers are the restraining means to uncoil, straighten under tension, the constant-force springs when extending the zippers of top panel to its vertically closed (down) position,   when top/outside panel's zippers are retracted (unzipped) the constant-force springs are allowed to relax to their coiled state, thus rolling top panel up and out, creating an opening and the awning which protects the enclosures interior from rain and help rain run-off to one side of the window opening or the other by creating a slight slope, horizontally, in the awing by leaving one side zipper of top panel lower (less retracted) than the other,   for user ease, accessing this window system and adjusting the two panels, everything is done inside the enclosure.   
     
     
         2 . The assembly as claimed in  claim 1  can be incorporated into any wall of outdoor enclosures used in the field of this invention such as; hunting blinds, wildlife viewing/photography, camping tents, craft/event tents, military use, and others, not limited to just the above, and said enclosure can have one to multiple windows within the same wall, based on the horizontal width of each window assembly and the framing of said enclosure,
 this two panel window assembly provides means, within the same enclosure, for different people of different height to incrementally adjust the panels to match their desired vertical height and size of an opening, 
 When more than one user is in an enclosure, each user can vary their own window assembly to their desired opening size and height, 
 and, this two (2) panel window assembly provides optimal concealment/visibility incremental adjustments when the enclosure is placed on virtually any terrain, on a raised platform, or when changing the use of enclosure, such as bow or gun hunting and viewing up-hill or down-hill.
