Abstract

A camouflage device adapted to fold and unfold and to assume the shape of a dummy object when in the unfolded configuration for camouflaging an object, includes a frame for supporting a camouflage netting, with the frame being adaptable for displaying irregular configuration and including flexible rod structures having one end detachably secured to a crown member and another end adapted for placement upon a suitable location of the object to be camouflaged. Each of the rod structures is made of an elastic band of fiber-reinforced plastic material or steel to allow flexible configuration and random shaping of the frame.

Description

Entfaltbarer Scheinkörper für Tarnzwecke.  Unfoldable dummy body for camouflage purposes.
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Vorrichtung zur Darstellung entfaltbarer, unregelmäßiger Scheinkörper, die auf dem zu tarnenden Objekt unter Berücksichtigung gestaltstheoretischer Gesetzmäßigkeiten verteilt, angeordnet werden, um dessen Erkennbarkeit durdi menschliche Beobachter sowie Bilderfassung mittels Sensoren (allenfalls mit Computerunterstützung) vermeiden bzw. verhindern zu helfen. The invention relates to a device for displaying unfoldable, irregular dummy bodies, which are distributed on the object to be camouflaged, taking into account the principles of design theory, in order to avoid or prevent its recognizability by human observers and image acquisition by means of sensors (possibly with computer support) .
Bekannte Vonrichtungen dieser Art bestehen aus Abstützgestängen, die auf das militärische Objekt aufsteckbar oder in die vorgesehene Lage schwenkbar sind (DE 3501611 AI sowie DE 2558371 C2, CH 594867). und einem Tarnnetz, das über militärisches Cbjekt und Gestänge aufgebracht wird. Derart verden zwar die leicht erkennbaren Konturen des militärischen Objektes verschleiert, es tritt aber eine erhebliche Flächen- bzw. Volumsnsvergrößerung des zu tarnenden Gegenstandes ein. Zudem hängt infolge der Schwerkraft das Tarnnetz im nichtunterstützten Bereich durch. Es bilden sich damit in der Natur nicht vorhandene konkave Flächen aus. Bei Ausbildung von Glanz (bzw. glanzähnlichem Verhalten) auf diesen konkaven Flächen kann es zur Fokussierung desselben auf Brennpunkte in größeren Entfernungen des zu tarnenden Gegenstandes können (Prinzip des Hohlspiegels). Große Flächen kennen auch nur geringfügig durch eine Verbreiterung des Auflageortes des Tarnnetzes auf den Stangenenden in Form bekannter tellerförmiger ünterstützungsele- mente oder speziell konstruierter Zusatzgestänge (USA 4,41, 518) von der Ausbildung derartiger durchhängender Flächen bewahrt vrerden. Bei Cbjekten mit größeren flächenhaften Ausdehnungen (beispielsweise Lastkraftwagen, Geschütze) müssen in der Regel große, aus einen einheitlichen Material (Tarnnetz) bestehende Flächen zur Erzielung ausreichender Tarnwirkung mit zusätzlichem Material (Äste, Zweige und dergleichen) versehen werden. Known devices of this type consist of support rods which can be plugged onto the military object or pivoted into the intended position (DE 3501611 AI and DE 2558371 C2, CH 594867). and a camouflage net that is applied over military objects and poles. In this way, the easily recognizable contours of the military object are obscured, but there is a considerable increase in the area or volume of the object to be camouflaged. In addition, due to gravity, the camouflage net sags in the unsupported area. This creates concave surfaces that are not present in nature. If gloss (or gloss-like behavior) is formed on these concave surfaces, it can be able to focus it on focal points at greater distances from the object to be camouflaged (principle of the concave mirror). Large areas are only minimally protected from the formation of such sagging areas by widening the location of the camouflage net on the rod ends in the form of known plate-shaped support elements or specially constructed additional rods (USA 4,41,518). For objects with larger expanses (e.g. trucks, guns), large areas consisting of a uniform material (camouflage net) usually have to be provided with additional material (branches, twigs and the like) in order to achieve sufficient camouflage.
Für einzelne spezielle Objekte, wie Geschütze, gibt es Vorrichtungen, die zwischen einem das Geschütz überdeckenden Zustand und einem geöffneten, das Geschütz freigebenden Zustand verstellbar sind (CH 606972). Derartige Vorrichtungen erzeugen zwar von. Tarnnetz umspannte Raumkörper, es sind ihnen aber, da sie in ihrer Ausführung stark von der regelmäßigen Konstruktion des militärischen Objektes abhängig sind, Grenzen in der Gestaltbarkeit ihrer Konturen gesetzt. Im geöffneten Zustand verliert die Vorrichtung einen Teil ihrer im geschlossenen Zustand erreichten Tarnwirkung. Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, rasch auf- und abbaubare Tarnelemente herstellen zu können, die eine nur minimale oberflachen- bzw. Volumensvergrößerung verursachen und durch ihre in erster Linie an den Außenflächen aufgebrachte Tarnmaterialien scwie ihre räumliche Ausdehnung eine Verminderung der Wahrnehmbarkeit des militärischen Objektes bewirken. Dies wird, nicht zuletzt erreicht durch Ausnutzung von Färb- und Helligkeitskontrasten wie auch durch Ausnutzung der durch die Scheinkörper hervorgerufen natürlichen Schattengebimg im sichtbaren Spektralbereich und durch Beeinflussung des Rückstrahlverhaltens in den anderen für Bilowahrnehmung nutzbaren Bereichen (wie Ultraviolett, Infrarot, Mikroelle, Milimeterwelle). For individual special objects, such as guns, there are devices that can be adjusted between a state that covers the gun and an open state that releases the gun (CH 606972). Such devices produce from. Spatial networks spanned the body of the room, but because their design depends heavily on the regular construction of the military object, there are limits to the shape of their contours. In the open state, the device loses part of its camouflage effect achieved in the closed state. The invention is based on the object of being able to produce camouflage elements that can be quickly assembled and disassembled, which cause only a minimal increase in surface area or volume and, due to their camouflage materials primarily applied to the outer surfaces, as well as their spatial expansion cause a reduction in the visibility of the military object . This is achieved not least through the use of color and brightness contrasts, as well as through the use of the natural shadow in the visible spectral range caused by the dummy bodies and by influencing the retroreflective behavior in the other areas that can be used for bilo perception (such as ultraviolet, infrared, microelle, millimeter wave).
Die gestellte Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß gelöst durch eine Vorrichtung bestehend aus mindestens drei an einem gemeinsarren Punkt endende und dort miteinander verbundene: verformbare Stangen, deren freie Enden in vorbestimmten Abständen voneinander auf dem zu tarnenden Objekt plaziert verden und die durch Eigensteifheit des Gestänges oder Versteifung desselben durch Zug in Richtung Standfläche ein auch über Öbjektecken und Kanten plazierbares, unregelmäßige Raumkurven einnehmendss Außengestänge bilden, an das zusätzlich ein letztlich die Außenhülle des Kaumkörpers bildendes, die Form mitbestimmendes Tarnnetz befestigt ist. Die Fixierung der freien Gestängeenden in den vorgesehenen Abständen relativ zueinander erfolgt durch Befestigung am Objekt, mittels Friktionshalt, Verspreizung oder durch eine zusätzliche, mit den Endpunkten verbundene Unterlänge. Die gesamte Vorrichtung kann rasch, und in ihrer vorgesehenen Form weitgehend reproduzierbar auf- und abgebaut werden. The object is achieved according to the invention by a device consisting of at least three ends that terminate at a common point and are connected to one another there: deformable rods, the free ends of which are placed on the object to be camouflaged at predetermined intervals from one another and which are stiffened or stiffened by the rod itself Train in the direction of the stand area also form an irregular space curve, which can also be placed over object corners and edges, to which an additional camouflage net, which ultimately defines the outer shell of the body of the body and also determines the shape, is attached. The free linkage ends are fixed relative to one another at the intended distances by attachment to the object, by means of friction hold, spreading or by an additional descender connected to the end points. The entire device can be assembled and disassembled quickly and largely reproducibly in its intended form.
Anhand der Figuren Fig. 1 bis Fig. 8 wird das Grundprinzip der Erfindung und einiger möglicher Ausführungsvarianten, verdeutlicht. Der Scheinkörper ist dabei jeweils mit nur drei Stangen und immer in geöffnetem, also entfaltetem Zustand abgebildet. The basic principle of the invention and some possible design variants are illustrated with the aid of FIGS. 1 to 8. The dummy body is shown with only three rods and always in the open, ie unfolded state.
Fig. 1 zeigt das flexible Außengestänge mit dem gateinsamen Verbindungspunkt (1) der einzelnen Stangen (2) und deren freie Enden (3). Fig. 1 shows the flexible outer linkage with the gateinsamen connection point (1) of the individual rods (2) and their free ends (3).

Fig. 3 zeigt schematisch die erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtungen (6), wie sie in einer, von Objekt- und Scheinkörpergröße abhängigen Anzahl, an geeigneten Stellen auf das zu tarnende Objekt (7) aufgebracht werden. Fig. 2 shows the outer net (4) applied to the flexible outer rod with the garnishing material (5) applied thereon. Fig. 3 shows schematically the devices (6) according to the invention as they are applied to the object (7) to be camouflaged at a suitable number, depending on the size of the object and apparent body size.
Fig. 4 zeigt ein Außengestänge für die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung in einer eine Ecke des zu tarnenden Objektes überspannenden Lage, wobei die freien Enden des Außengestänges mit einer flexiblen Unterlage (8) verbunden sind. Fig. 4 shows an outer linkage for the device according to the invention in a position spanning a corner of the object to be camouflaged, the free ends of the outer linkage being connected to a flexible base (8).
Fig. 5 zeigt schematisch eine spezielle Ausführungsform der Gestängeglieder (9) bzw. Gelenke für aus Gliederelementen zusammengesetzte Stangen. Durch die Verdickung (10) wird verhindert, daß die Glieder auseinanderfallen können. Der gleiche Effekt könnte beispielsweise durch einen im Inneren der Gliederelemente als durchgehende Seele geführten Gummizug erreicht werden. Fig. 5 shows schematically a special embodiment of the link members (9) or joints for rods composed of link elements. The thickening (10) prevents the links from falling apart. The same effect could be achieved, for example, by an elastic band inside the link elements as a continuous core.
Fig. 6 zeigt das Prinzip einer völlig anderen Grundform der Gestängeglieder bzw. Gelenke, die eine Gelenksbewegung jeweils nur in einer Ebene bzw. Richtung zuläßt. Die Drehachsen (11) dieser Gelenke können zur Erzielung unregelmäßiger Raumkurven entsprechend gegeneinander versetzt sein. Fig. 6 shows the principle of a completely different basic shape of the link members or joints, which allows a joint movement in each case only in one plane or direction. The axes of rotation (11) of these joints can be offset relative to one another in order to achieve irregular spatial curves.
Fig. 7 zeigt eine schematische Darstellung einer speziellen Ausführungsform, bei der die Verfestigung des Außengestänges durch eine eine Zugwirkung in Richtung Aufstandsfläche bewirkende elastische Verbindung (12) mit dem zu tarnenden Objekt erfolgt. FIG. 7 shows a schematic representation of a special embodiment in which the outer linkage is solidified by means of an elastic connection (12) with the object to be camouflaged, which causes a tensile effect in the direction of the contact surface.
Fig. 8 zeigt schematisch eine sternförmige, nach eben einklappbare Verspreizungsvorrichtung (13). Aufwendigere Verspreizungsvorrichtungen, ähnlich wie bei Schirmen, sind verwendbar. Fig. 8 shows schematically a star-shaped expansion device (13) which can be folded in. More elaborate spreading devices, similar to umbrellas, can be used.
